The setting of the hotel with many rooms looking out onto Grand Harbour make it an exceptional place to stay which is further enhanced by the rooftop patio where one can enjoy refreshments whilst soaking up the exceptional ambience. The staff and service are excellent and the hotel is maintained to a very high standard. Whilst close to the centre of Valletta be prepared for quite a few steps and slopes.

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.

This place is just lovely! The stag was nice, it was clean and updated but authentic. It's in a perfect spot if you want to catch a ferry or go for a harbor cruise. We even had a amazing view of the harbor!

We loved this hotel. It has a great position overlooking the Grand Harbour and our room with a wrap around balcony gave us a great view of Vittoriosa, one of the three cities across the water. Being in the centre of Valletta it is ideally placed to explore the city with everything within walking distance.

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.
