Cugo Gran Macina Grand Harbour

This hotel was amazing. It’s built within an old fortress and there was some work being done for maintenance, but that is of course inevitable. If not for the maintenance, it would have been 5 stars all the way. The junior suite was huge, especially by European standards. Highly recommend to anyone who wants an interesting and unique high end experience. The only downside is there is only dinner on Friday and Saturday nights but they have a great wine collection to take back to your room and plenty to eat near by! Loved!!!!

Spent my 40th birthday here with husband and 6 month old baby - beautiful property, the room was perhaps a little damp smelling initially with all the exposed stonework but they brought a dehumidifier into the room straight away to help and it was sorted. The staff were so so friendly, could.not have been more helpful with the baby and were so kind and attentive and made us feel so welcome. The rooftop pool is pretty chilly but that didn’t matter - think of it as ultimate refreshment in the warm weather! Breakfast was delicious and not at all restricted - order whatever you like, good portions and fabulous fresh Orange juice. Area is lovey to walk around at night by the harbour - great restaurants, easy quick ferry ride over to Valletta. Everything about this hotel was perfect and I would recommend it to anyone. Friendly Maltese hospitality at its finest - in a beautifully restored historical building - you are in for a real treat!

The Grand Harbour Macina Suite is a nice spacious room which is suites to 4 adults or maybe a family. The hotel is clean and a beautiful building. What let’s it down is the finishes for example .. flakey paint, grime around the sealant on the shower, a poor repair jobs on towel hooks which an eye sore once noticed, the pool was often not cleaned and appeared the same for a few days with muck on the bottom. However, was a nice size. The location is great if you want peace and a short boat trip to Valletta. However, cannot justify the price of the hotel. This is of course just my opinion.

We had a four night stay for our family of 5 in December. The hotel is very atmospheric as it is built into 16th century battlements. The room was large, modern, well equiped and clean. The breakfast was amazing in the Michelin star restaurant. However the best element of all was the staff and the service. They were tremendously helpful. Whether it was at the front desk helping with advice about restaurants and activities or the waiting staff who were wonderful. Best of all they helped us find a doctors office after one of the kids felt ill on the last day.

Great hotel and nice staff. On the downside, they didn’t give the free drinks that is included in the price (also not when reminded). But charged extra when my kid should sleep there last day (I booked a suite for 4 and we were 2 and 3 last day). Airco didn’t work good enough in the bedroom, but good downstairs. Overall it was great and if I go back to Malta, I would choose same hotel.
