Absolutely fantastic location!! We also stayed at The Phoenician for 3 nights (after staying at this hotel) and we wished we hadn’t left the Cugo Gran. This hotel is just perfect and boutique with incredible staff. I loved the area and felt like we could explore Malta and still come back to a beautiful and peaceful home base. We had our 6 month old baby with us and put our in-laws / grandparents in a separate room for the family vacation and eveybody LOVED it!

No VIP attention. They made us leave before checkout so they could accommodate the next guests arriving 2.5 hours before checkin.

The staff are genuinely amazing and friendly. Took good care of us for our week stay. The rooms are spacious and well taken care of. When we had an issue the staff took care of it right away. The breakfast and dinner were delicious and top notch!

I cannot recommend this hotel enough. I walked passed it on my last visit to Malta and was determined to stay there on my next visit.
The room, food, cocktails, pool, service etc. were all top notch! I won't consider staying anywhere else on my next visit to Malta.
We had to move rooms but the staff contacted us and made the process incredibly simple, with the room upgrade very much appreciated.
Special shout outs to Valentina, Martha and Qwin but all the staff were brilliant.
Get a daquiri in the happy hour, you won't regret it!

Big rooms with a comfortable bed, shower room was nicely finished. The hotel had a pool on the roof terrace with great views overlooking the harbour. Restaurant food was very good. Things to improve - the suite we stayed in was damp, it had a dehumidifier in it which needed emptying regulary. The pool was dirty with debris at the bottom and floating.
2.0 / 5.0
Staff without exception were delightful and very helpful.
Room was spacious and clean.
Bed linen disappointing- polyester/cotton and frankly has seen better days- not however as bad as the towels and robes. They were greying , thin and rough and robes were torn in places. Brought to attention of front desk but replaced with equally old ones. Not anywhere near 5star.
Rooms overlooking harbour are quite noisy from early morning and in the evenings even with windows shut.
Breakfast in hotel was nice but very expensive- although one could eat a lot if one was up to it as the price was the same.
Dinner in Little Bastion was pretty disappointing. Cold bendy old chips ( sent back) and pretty flavourless fish with uncertain sauces. And quite expensive tho service was good.
Pool area very nice and pool menu tasty.
We enjoyed our stay and the hotel’s situation away from central Valletta , but there is room for improvement in one or two areas.

This hotel is superb. The interior of the building is very impressive with well thought out and classy design. The staff are exceptional, extremely helpful and friendly. I was sad to leave and would highly recommend staying here to anyone.

Lovely property and fantastic staff who made us feel so welcome. From the first moment when we arrived to when we left it seemed nothing was too much trouble. Perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness from all the staff, and the room was outstanding. We wish the Little Bastion had been open more than just the Friday and Saturday nights as food was excellent, but no shortage of restaurants in walking distance nearby. Great location too for getting around the island especially with the convenient ferry into Valletta. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

2.5 / 5.0
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!!!!

I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a stay close to the three cities or the Valletta area. The hotel is roughly a three minute walk to the ferry that takes you to Valletta. Impressed us most about this accommodation was the incredible staff who were extremely courteous and helpful, even going so far as to personally assist us with tracking down our lost luggage from our flight over. Our room was well kept, very clean, and offered an excellent view of the harbor. We enjoyed the Little Bastion twice for breakfast during our stay, which was delicious and convenient.

Unique upscale hotel in a charming neighborhood. Great views over the Grand Harbor. Easy access to Valletta with the ferry and very easy access to some of the best sites in the south of the island (Blue Grotto, Marsaxlokk..) plus the airport. Nice restaurant and beautiful swimming pool on the roof terrace.

The conversion of a 500 year old fort into a unique and very cool modern hotel is just awesome. Every part of the hotel was designed perfectly. We just loved the location and the view from our room was spectacular. We would definitely come back again. The staff were all very friendly and extremely helpful. The location was perfect and very close to the ferry which takes you to Valletta. And there are great dining option in the 3 areas surrounding the hotel as well. Breakfast was really good as well as the service. We would highly recommend this property.

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.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Exceptional staff (special mention for Valentina and Christopher) would couldn’t be more helpful and welcoming, fabulous hotel in a historic setting and wonderful off tourist clamour location.
Thoroughly recommended.
2.5 / 5.0
The hotel location was excellent being well placed to explore the three cities and get to the ferry berth to access Valletta. It has incredible views especially from the pool terrace. Slightly quirky place would not hesitate to recommend it. Only criticism is that the restaurant service was a bit slow and food pricy against some great dining options just a short walk down the quay.

Hotel in a beautiful old building in Senglea, one of the three cities. Perfect place to base yourself out of the hustle and bustle of Valletta, knowing it’s only a 10min ferry boat away.
A handful of really nice restaurants a short walk away. Enchante was great!
A bit of wear and tear to our room and some improvements could be done with the decor but overall very nice.
Breakfast is A la Carte. Beautiful food but be mindful if wanting a buffet spread this isn’t it.

What a fabulous hotel. Had everything we needed to make our stay memorable. Carlos at reception really went the extra mile which was very appreciated.

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.

A nice hotel with high ceilings remained from an old fortress building. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

We had to cancel our stay because my mother died and we had to return immediately across the world to New Zealand. All the other luxury hotels/airlines that we had travel bookings with refunded our bookings no questions asked. This hotel would not agree to a refund despite Hotels.com asking several times. It was a very unfortunate, unexpected situation…and for a luxury hotel, there was no empathy.
5.0 / 5.0
Cugo Gran is an excellent hotel! The hotel is very convenient to the ferry, the breakfast is awesome! The restaurant where we have breakfast is actually a Michelin Star restaurant.
Most importantly the staff are great! There isn’t anything that they wouldn’t do for you. They are all very friendly and courteous.
