Small hotel but Great location and views of the harbour/across the bay, we upgraded to a harbour view as people had said it could be noisy the city side in hotels in valletta, not sure if this is true or not. We had two extra enclosed balcony areas, one for luggage and the other looking over the bay with a table and 2 chairs, were we could open the windows and sit with our drinks watching the ships/fireworks (it was a bank holiday) Never seen such fantastic fireworks. The breakfast is help yourself but a good choice of cereals,fresh fruit,yogurt, pastries, ham & cheeses, scrambled eggs, bacon,sausage beans, tomatoes & toast. Would recommend and was surprised it was only a two star.

Central hotel with roof-top patio

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and it was good for our 3 nights. The room was small but comfortable. For older, less able, folks it was a steep walk up to the main streets of Valletta. The best features of the hotel were a good breakfast (included) and the amazing view from the roof-top balcony.

What a nice little hotel in Valletta. I booked for the harbor view and it was amazing. Our first time in Malta and this part of it is breathtaking. The room was large and comfortable and the staff were all so nice. It was so convenient to walk to everything in Valletta. There’s a rooftop area with a 360 degree view as well so take advantage of it! Breakfast was included and was great. This is a really nice hotel and you can’t beat the views!

Lovely stay at the Grand Harbour Hotel

Loved this privately-run hotel. It's a great price for Valletta, especially since breakfast is included. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get a harbour view room, so had windows but no view. I was on the 6th floor, just a few steps from the lovely rooftop terrace which overlooks the Three Cities. You'll get fit here - there are quite a lot of steps up to the main drag of Valletta. Take the ferry to Birgu for a wander around and to see Fort St Angelo. Upon return to Valletta, you can take the Barrakka Lift - it's only a euro each way if buying a ticket, but is included at no extra cost in the ferry ticket.
