Guest Reviews
- Andrea (8/5): In allem ein sehr schönes hotel. Super personal und tolle lage. - Lage und stil und pool aussicht Es gibt holzmöbel die sehr kaputt sind. Oder töpfe. Das ist schade und macht es etwas ungepflegt
- vincent (8/5): excellent hotel pour "chiller" et visiter - certains membres de votre équipe ne sont pas très souriants ... dommage car le reste est excellent
- Patric (10/5): -
- Anca (10/5): - Location, rooms, breakfast and friendly staff. Everything was top. -
- Danielle (8/5): -
- Gumer (7/5): Nice historical place to stay - The location is beautiful. Surroundings are nice and many good restaurants. Easy to take the ferry to Valletta. The staff is very attentive and helpful. Special mention to the Spanish young guys. Breakfast à la cart with some good options. Lovely terrace and rooftop The room had very good size and lovely views however no the expected standards of a five stars hotel. The restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesdays so we didn’t have the chance to experience it. The building restoration is interesting however the interior design is poor. We found some issues with cleaning in some common areas (lift, rooftop, cleaning trolley parked in a side of the main staircase in the evening,…) and of course, the house keeper making noice at 7am! A classic
- Jacinta (9/5): Fabulous. - Everything was lovely. In communication with my husband, the staff arranged a birthday surprise - flowers, balloons, Prosecco, macaroons, and a Happy Birthday banner and silk petals decorated the bed. The Prosecco and macaroons were a gift from the hotel. The breakfast menu was varied; the food fresh and tasty. The bed was really comfortable. All the staff were friendly, helpful and smiley. A beautiful hotel with fantastic views from the roof terrace. Artificial room fragrance sticks are common these days, but we found they made the room claustrophobic. Natural ventilation meant opening the balcony door. This turned off the air conditioning unit, which makes sense. The weather was chilly so access to fresh air in the room was limited.
- ma_gr (10/5): Krásné ubytování na skvělém místě pro výlety - Krásné ubytování v historické budově, která je zrekonstruovaná na hotel. Některé pokoje mají výhled na přístav, doporučuji. Menší posilovna na protáhnutí by byla fajn.
- Jane (10/5): - Great location, lovely room and a really well run hotel. Staff were excellent. Nothing.
- Silvia (9/5): - La posizione é centrale e affaccia sul bel porticciolo, la colazione é ottima e lo staff disponibile
- Xietao (10/5): Fantastic - Great room, amazing location and views. Helpful and friendly staff.
- Andreas (9/5): - La première nuit, notre chambre - bien que très belle - n’avait pas de vraie fenêtre et donnait sur le couloir. Et cela nous a donné l’impression de dormir dans une grotte! Après avoir réclamé, on nous a donné une chambre avec vue sur le port et tout était parfait.
- Cecilia (10/5): -
- Lisa (10/5): - While the staff was amazing, we had an ongoing issue of a faulty lock to our rooom. Every time we left our room and attempted to re-enter we couldn't get in. The staff changed the battery 3 times without success. My husband ended up being late for his golf outing because he couldn't get back in the room. Nothing was done to acknowledge the situation.
- Katarzyna (9/5): Połączenie historii z nowoczesnym designem - Piękny hotel butikowy. Wspaniałe połączenie nowoczesnego wystroju z historycznym budynkiem. Duży pokój, z przepięknym widokiem na jachty i w oddali historyczne zabudowania. Kilka minut do promu. Wszelkie potrzebne udogodnienia. Fantastyczny serwis. Szczególnie Pan Rafał w recepcji - niezwykle uczynny i zawsze pomocny! Bardzo smaczne śniadania - choć a'la cart - duzy wybór i obfitość. Hotel pozwala wczuć się w autentyczną atmosferę Malty. Choć to nie Valetta - to prom płynie do centrum Valetty bardzo szybko. Można też skorzystać z szybkich łódek. Definitywnie hotel wart polecenia! Stosunkowo mała łazienka. Tylko odkryty basen (ale za to z jakim widokiem!)

- Seaside32345772095 (2/5): Cold water, missing towels. Not a great view. - Hello, Overall I enjoyed my stay. Breakfast was great, but there were some important details that made the trip less enjoyable for me. One day I was taking a shower and when I went out of the shower, we had no towels. The hot water run out very fast. Most of the time I showered in very cold water. Also, I had a Marriott Gift Card to pay, the hotel did not accept it even tough they told me it should not be an issue when I checked in. Lastly, they told me I had a room with a great view to the harbour. But my window was looking towards a wall.
- QuestLander (10/5): A reason to go to Malta - Amazing hotel out of the ordinary. The rooms are exceptional and the location could not be better. But I would like to mention the incredibly helpful staff, especially Caterina, who made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommended and quality price outstanding
- 637kriszti_nm (10/5): Excellence of Hospitality - We have just visited this perfect hotel this weekend! I can summarize our stay in one word : perfect! Location absolutely close to Valletta The staff was amazing, very kind and helpful The room was spacious, clean, beds were comfortable (Grand Harbour Suite) Breakfast delicious and fresh and the waiters took good care of us Highly recommend this hotel, we will come back soon for sure!
- OliveYouTwo (10/5): Luxurious hotel in superb location - The location of this hotel is excellent, quieter than the city, but a short walk to the ferry/brief journey on the boat to get to the city centre. Our suite was very good, the separate seating area was useful although the sofa was not especially comfortable. Staff all very professional and helpful. Restaurant was to a good standard for dinner/breakfast. Shame the pool wasn’t heated but understandable given location, even as an outdoor swimmer it was too fresh to use in November! Recommended, definitely worth short listing for your trip plans.
- D2073XWhelenc (10/5): Warm, welcoming, steeped in history, whilst providing a touch of modern luxury! - Situated right on the edge of the Marina, with super views, this historical fortress sympathetically and cleverally converted into a lovely 21century hotel did not disappoint. From the moment I arrived the staff were professional and efficient, whilst all being friendly, caring and helpful. This complimented the wonderful overall ambience of the building. Exploring different areas was an adventure in itself, especially the rooftop pool and completely separate roof top lounge, where modern technology blend with 500 year old history. Every area was, very clean, the rooms spacious and airy, with very comfortable bed, well equipped and good blackout curtains . Breakfast and dinner all freshly prepared to order was excellent, with a fully stocked bar, the option to eat outdoors and attentive, but not pushy staff, who went the extra mile to ensure guest satisfaction. For me at the very top end of my budget, but the overall experience was well worth it and I left feeling relaxed , refreshed and most importantly a valued customer.
- shagra (10/5): No one does it better. - The location of the hotel is perfect and is situated in one of the three cities, the most romantic and quieter area of Valletta. The water bus to Valletta is only a five minute walk, from the hotel, and these run every thirty minutes. The hotel is filled with the most amazing and wonderful staff that will do their most to make sure your stay is memorable. The food in 'Little Bastion', the onsite restaurant, cook all items to order so the food is fresh and tasty. We ate in the restaurant daily and the quality and service levels are very good, every request was met with "absolutely" and we felt humbled by this experience. We stayed in room 210, a harbour view room, with its own private terrace, this had great views and was a nice relaxing space to enjoy in our down-time. This is THE BEST hotel in Valletta!
- Robert (10/5): -
- Suzanne (10/5): Luxury in a stunning location close to Valletta - We had an exceptional stay at Cugo Gran Marina. By far, it was our favourite place we stayed in Malta. The included breakfast was delicious, the staff went above and beyond to help us with everything we needed, and the rooftop pool with its view of Senglea Harbour can’t be beat. The location is fantastic - an easy walk to Birgu and Fort St. Angelo and a short ferry ride from Valletta. If I had a do-over, I’d escape the crowds in Valetta and book my entire stay here. Can’t recommend it highly enough. The pedestal sink in our bathroom didn’t have anywhere to put our toiletries. There was a small shelf next to it, but it wasn’t spacious enough. We were moved to another unit when our air-conditioning quit, and the bathroom was configured differently, with ample space for us to spread out. So this might have been a (very minor) issue specific to our first unit.
- paulbN4534JU (10/5): Amazing hotel in an amazing city! - Amazing hotel with a rich history. The staff pre arrival and arrival were amazing. The location is perfect with great rooms and facilities. We had some great weather in November and enjoyed breakfast outside in the warm sun and blue sky. The breakfast choice was great and all freshly prepared, and the staff were helpful and attentive. Could not recommend Cugó Gran Macina more. You’ll love it!
- michelecK8115NQ (10/5): This is a gem of a hotel - Tucked away in Senglea this hotel has comfortable rooms cunningly built within an ancient building. The views are lovely. The rooms are quiet and the bed comfortable. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is excellent especially the breakfasts. Thoroughly recommend. We stay whenever we can. It is also very convenient for the airport, for exploring Valletta and for getting the fast ferry to Gozo.
- Michelle (10/5): -
- Steffen (9/5): Empfehlenswert. - Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter. Sehr sauber, erstklassiges Housekeeping. Das Frühstück ist noch ausbaufähig, das Restaurant könnte sich etwas einladender präsentieren.
- Patryk (10/5): - Lokalizacja, sniadanie, obsluga Klimatyzacja bardzo slabo dzialajaca praktycznie wcale
- Douglas (9/5): Very good - A very nice hotel in a perfect location to enjoy Malta
- 266bethannr (10/5): Beautiful rooms and stunning views - Beautiful rooms and stunning view of the harbor. Easy to commute to Valletta via ferry. Incredibly friendly and accommodating staff
- Michelle (9/5): -
- susan (9/5): Beautiful hotel - Location Wonderful history of building
- Jack (10/5): -
- TANIA (8/5): - Exceptionally helpful and friendly staff. Great rooms and facilities. Nice location on the harbour, approximately 30 mins to heart of Valetta via ferry (including waiting time). Good breakfast but service sometimes confused. Onsite resaturant convenient but some better alternatives in Valetta and outside the hotel.
- David (8/5): Stay here if you want to be away from the centre and enjoy harbour views. The corner suite is lovely. - Modern stylish conversion of an historic building. We had a corner suite which had great views over the harbour and was a very decent size. Quiet area. Excellent reception team, very helpful. Waiting staff all tried hard and varied from outstanding to almost competent. Excellent breakfast. Located in Senglea so all tourist destinations are some distance away requiring a ferry ride as a minimum and as one of our party is not easily able to walk “ long “ distances some use of €20 cabs from Valletta. Friends had a large suite which sadly had very little natural light. Resturant barely average.
- Yenning (9/5): -
- W8708MEpeterr (10/5): A splendid oasis of calm - We stayed 5 nights in a harbour view suite. Really lovely hotel with a calm, quality feel. Facilities were excellent and the small rooftop pool was a added extra. Located in Senglea, a short boat away from Valetta, it did give a much more relaxed vibe from the busy bustle of Valetta. Staff were fabulous and so helpful ,Caterina on reception was especially great. Breakfast was fantastic. All freshly cooked to order and a great choice. The attached restaurant was really good with a lovely terrace overlooking the marina. It is only open for dinner Weds- Sunday. Absolutely a return visit for us.....
- Doug (10/5): - The hotel was beautiful and food was good but the staff were the real treat. They were very friendly, helpful and consistently exceeded expectations.
- Peter (10/5): - A beautiful, historic building and a lovely, lovely hotel. Staff could not do enough for us and we're super friendly. Caterena was a star. Room very well equipped. Various International TV stations and free WiFi. Breakfast was fabulous with lots of choice and cooked fresh. Great quality. Rooftop pool was a lovely facility but lost the sun by 4:30 (Oct). Restaurant was open Weds to Sunday for dinner and was another jem. Situated in a tranquil suburb across from Valetta you need to take the ferry or a Taxi. Would not hesitate to stay again
- Mark (10/5): -
- 344lindseys (10/5): A Fantastic Experience and Incomparable Staff - I cannot say enough about how marvelous our experience at Cugo Gran Macina was. The room was lovely, the food was wonderful, but it was the staff who were simply incomparable. They were friendly, courteous, and beyond accommodating. They gave us a beautiful bottle of wine and filled our room with balloons for my husband's birthday. They sent us off to catch an early flight with a packed breakfast. They made dinner reservations for us in a packed restaurant, and they did it all with courtesy and good humor. Highly recommend!
- stevendV8729DD (10/5): Outstanding!!! - Our second visit here and as before, amazing. The hotel is lovely. Both modern and historical. Well kept and very clean & tidy. Our room was perfect with a very comfy bed and enough room to easily move around and a large bathroom. Pool terrace holds about 15 beds but we never had any issue getting a sun bed. Fantastic views overlooking the Grand Harbour. The breakfasts are outstanding and the Little Bastion restaurant never disappointed. Every meal was delicious from bar bites to exceptional evening meals. Lastly, every member of staff went out of their way to be friendly and look after us. I’d give them 10 out of 5 if I could!!!
- Nicholas (9/5): -
- Stuart (10/5): - Beautiful small hotel in old fortress. Our room was huge and had a lovely view over the harbour. Great breakfast, very helpful staff and nice area away from crowds but short ferry ride from Valletta. We loved our stay here! Highly recommended!
- Daniel (10/5): - The staff is the best of any hotel we have ever stayed in. The facility is first class. Breakfast made to order and quick.
- T6160KFdaniell (10/5): I wish every hotel was like this one. - Every aspect of our stay, from service to room to breakfast to tips around town was perfect. Room was meticulous, staff was over the top friendly, breakfast was quick and first class. You can’t ask for anything better.
- rosiepK2871YN (10/5): Ideal for a luxurious few days close to Valletta - Amazing location close to the passenger ferry to Valletta. Beautiful building, room above and beyond what we expected. Fantastic welcome from reception staff. Hotel food delicious, breakfast a little expensive and sometimes there were small errors with our order but staff seemed to realise these and were apologetic. Nothing that we would have brought up if they hadn’t realised however. Free room service and delivery of items to the rooftop pool, lovely setting and towels provided. Grouting and sealant in the shower looked like it could do with a little refreshment but otherwise cannot complain. Free parking right opposite which was extremely convenient. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
- Ramona Elizabeth (10/5): - The location it is WONDERLFUL, the service it was the best, the restauran AMAIZING, I love it!!!
- Rafael (9/5): -
- Mike (8/5): The rooms were amazing and maybe the best we have ever stayed at and the location is excellent - Very unique and beautiful structure and rooms Good location British receptacles
- robertlO8323YK (10/5): Great boutique experience in Malta with amazing rooftop view - We stayed here for 4 nights and really enjoyed it. Honestly, it should have been longer. Breakfast was excellent, especially the avocado toast which we ended up having almost every day. Coffee and fresh juices were also really good, and snacks at the pool were nice, too. The desserts in the evening (the sorbet and the chocolate fondant / lava cake) were simply amazing and turned even a disappointing dinner outside the hotel into a perfect evening. Our suite was very spacious and always clean, the bed was super comfortable. The only window was in the roof but it wasn’t a problem for us. What we liked a lot was the heated towel rack: Wrapping yourself in a warm towel after showering felt like a little spa moment. The rooftop pool was great with an amazing view. Service everywhere (pool, restaurant, reception) was always friendly and attentive. On the rooftop terrace there is an event location called The Sheer Bastion. It would be nice if it was open in the evenings as a bar. The view is terrific. A few small things that could be improved: - a little shelf in the shower for cosmetics would be handy - some more conveniently placed sockets Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back when we visit Malta again.
- 614stephenl (10/5): Great hotel, service and location! - The hotel is set into the walls of the ancient citadel. The rooms are spacious; the restaurant and breakfast served excellent food - amogst the best we had in Malta; the staff were always friendly and helpful. The hotel welcomed us with a complimentary bottle of local wine and fruit. Then on my birthday I recieved a birthday card, balloons and macaroons on the house - a lovely touch! Location wise, the commute from the airport was only about 25mins, then there is a convenient ferry from close by to Valletta which runs a regular service up to midnight and only takes 7-8mins to cross the Grand Harbour. We will absolutely stay here again next time we visit Malta.
- Stephen (10/5): - The hotel is set into the walls of the ancient citadel. The rooms are spacious, the restaurant and breakfast served excellent food. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The hotel welcomed us with a complimentary bottle of local wine and fruit. Then on my birthday, I recieved a card, balloons and macaroons - a lovely touch!

- 118suzh (10/5): Sublime hotel AAA+ - Sublime hotel in an outstanding location and with fabulous staff. Our suite was amazing, and the comfort and cleanliness could not be faulted. The staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgable. They went above and beyond to make our family stay perfect. The food was amazing too and the rooftop pool is amazing. This boutique hotel is one of the best we have stayed in across the world. Would highly recommend!
- Larissa (9/5): A great location to explore Malta, everything we wanted just a shame about the smell! - The room was huge (4 of us in Presedential Suit), the roof top pool was never busy, the view from the pool and our bedroom of the harbour was fantastic. The location just being a ferry ride to Valletta but away from crowds with great bars and restaurants on the doorstep made our trip. There was a pungent drain smell that got worse in the room the longer we stayed. From the description of the hotel we expected a bar on the roof, there isn’t one but you can order drinks up to the pool until 7pm. Some of the reception staff lacked the initiative you would expect in a hotel of this level, the ladies were far more helpful than the men. No one asked us at any point if everything was ok with our room and when we checked out we weren’t asked this either. Overall it was a lovely building with a very comfortable suite and we liked it slot just a shame about the smell!
- cristinavY7525DE (10/5): A luxury weekend that exceeded all expectations - Our stay at the Cugó Gran Macina exceeded all expectations. We spent a weekend with friends, and from the very first moment, they made us feel special. The room was simply stunning: very spacious, meticulously designed with attention to every detail, and impeccably clean. Everything was designed for maximum comfort. The hotel also organized a boat excursion for us. The experience was unique: they picked us up directly from the pier in front of the hotel and prepared a wonderful picnic with sandwiches, snacks, and wine, even helping us carry it on board. A detail that made the difference. We especially want to highlight Caterina from the reception team, whose kindness, smile, and professionalism made everything even more special. And, of course, thanks to the entire team for their impeccable service. A truly luxury hotel that we highly recommend. We will definitely return!
- happyonhols123 (10/5): Beautiful stay- will be returning. - We were there for two nights in August for a wedding. Everything was perfect. The rooms are lovely, nothing was too much bother and the whole place smelt great. Really enjoyed it and will definitely be back.
- Iain (10/5): Wonderful place to stay for Honeymoon - Beautiful hotel, Quiet, plenty of things to do and see locally, very helpful staff N/a
- Marzen (10/5): An amazing place! Will stay here again if I can -
- Luke (10/5): - The hotel was fantastic, & made our holiday feel like a luxury getaway from the moment we arrived. The design & layout of the hotel is stylish & well thought out, & the rooms are excellent as well with great amenities. The rooftop pool was an excellent place to relax on an afternoon as well. The staff are all incredibly friendly, helpful & keen to assist in any way they can. The on site restaurant is excellent, with great quality meals for breakfast & dinner, including a great range of Vegan items. Having seen that Cugo Gran have other hotels in locations across Italy & Spain, we wouldn't hesitate to book into one of their other hotels after our experience in Malta!
- 693vladyslavt (10/5): Good hotel - Very beautiful hotel, clean, cozy, friendly staff, delicious breakfasts, swimming pool clean, unusual rooms, beautiful views
- Vladyslav (10/5): - Хороший завтра, приветливый персонал, чистота в номере, отель сделан в необычном стиле. Расположение в целом хорошее но не очень удобно добираться до больших пляжей
- Tim (10/5): - Beautiful building
- pouln644 (10/5): Wonderful four days in Senglea - A truly great location. Our room was superb and the breakfast even better. Much better to stay here, away from the hustle and bussle of Valletta and simply take the tranquil ferry service when required.
- marc (10/5): - Mooie plek en super hotel gebouwd in een prachtige burcht
- Trip18410754432 (10/5): Our stay at Macina - The crew at Cugo Gran Macina were very attentive and hospitable! This is the best stay my wife and I have had at any hotel. The location in Senglea also added to its charm, without being to close to the action at Valletta (great for a quiet night).
- _N7361GF (10/5): - This is a hotel that combines historical experience with spaciousness and comfort. The scenery is beautiful, and the value for money is high. The room is very large, and the view from the rooftop pool is fantastic. The breakfast is also delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful. It's also convenient for going out to play; you can walk to the water taxi station and take a gondola to Valletta, which is very convenient.
- Nuno Gonçalves (9/5): Estadia muito agradável e confortável - A localização , numa zona calma , com vistas inspiradoras, o quarto muito confortável, a piscina muito boa, o restaurante é bom, comida boa, bem confeccionada Horário da piscina, deveria funcionar até às 20:00H
- JamesSamworth (10/5): Wonderful stay - We had a wonderful stay. The staff were great - prepared to go above and beyond to make everything work, for example early morning breakfast before a trip, room service when the kitchen was closed and we were too tired to go out. Breakfast, the pool, the room and evening restaurant were all excellent, but the people make the place. Thank you.
- alisonlG2149BF (10/5): - I cannot praise Cugo Gran in Senglea, Malta enough. My Corner suite was superb in every way, size, light, views, bedroom, bathroom, lounge. Rooftop Pool and restaurant, breakfast all excellent. Staff particularly Catarina were amazing- with tour and restaurant suggestions, transfers, every whim was no trouble. What a wonderful area looking through my windows to Harbour Marina full of yachts and boats, historical city of Vittorosa and further along to City Ramparts and beauty of Valletta. Just a few minutes by ferry ride across to Valletta. This is best place to stay in Malta.
- juless269 (10/5): Wonderful last minute few days in this excellent boutique hotel - We booked this trip as a last minute few days in the sun via a travel agent where we live. Immediately on arriving at the hotel, we were welcomed in such a nice yet understated way and genuinely were made to feel special. We were upgraded to the corner harbour view room which you can see on the photo just underneath the pool with the large balcony. The room was a suite and was lovely. Bed really comfortable and really nice size although the furniture in the living room part was arranged in a slightly bizarre way meaning you cannot see the TV from the sofa (not that we needed to). The hotel itself is a perfect size with other guest s but not too many so we could always get a sun lounger by the pool. The views from the roof were spectacular of the old harbour. The restaurant was excellent with fantastic breakfasts. However, I think the major plus for the hotel was honestly the staff who, bar none, were so kind and attentive. They were also very knowledgable about were to go, where to eat and how to get there. I cannot praise them as a group highly enough. The hotel location is great. Apparently we were in high season but it didn't feel that way, where we were staying. 10 minute walk to the harbour taxi to go across to Valletta which was also a lovely balance of bustle without too many crowds. If I have to make a couple of suggestions for our room, they would be as follows... The air-conditioning automatically turns off when an outer door is opened. I understand the logic, but it was so hot that the room would rapidly warm up again by the time we get back. Also, the large (excellent) balcony was such an asset to the room but is really exposed to the sunshine. I think it would make sense to put a parasol by the sun loungers there (although, like I said, we were easily able to get loungers by the pool) These are minor issues, as far as I am concerned. I have had such a nice few days and this is in a huge part due to the lovely experience I have had in this hotel and the wonderful staff. I thoroughly recommend this hotel.
- kerengoldshlag (10/5): Unique hotel with helpful staff - Beautiful, thoughtfully designed hotel in Malta. We only stayed for 1 night and definitely wished we had more time! We stayed in a suite facing the harbor and it was fully equipped with a fridge, mini kitchen, massive bathroom, closet space, couch and even a lofted bedroom. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and gave us practical advice for making the most out of our time. Highly recommend!
- Herman (10/5): - The location was great in Senglea. Not as busy and crowdes as in Valetta
- Adrian (10/5): -
- Christopher (9/5): Great hotel, would stay again. - friendly helpful staff. food was excellent. Restaurant only open Wed to Sun.
- Valerio (10/5): Exceptional -
- Patrick (10/5): - Lovely hotel, nice staff, good breakfast, big rooms. Only critique is the pool areas isn't massive, we could always get a bed, but in the height of summer could be more difficult.
- Perry310 (10/5): Great stay for mini moon! - Brilliant hotel and just what we needed for our mini moon! The team were so attentive and the breakfast was excellent! The room was clean and spacious and overall very comfortable for our 5 night stay. The rooftop pool was so nice and relaxing. Also, the pool menu was good and the food was great. Overall a great stay.
- Judith (10/5): - Lovely rooms. Attentive service. Pool was very nice with a wonderful view of the marina and area. They gave us a lovely To Go breakfast for an early flight. They looked after us very well and would return again.
- Catherine (9/5): Superb - I would like to have a rooftop bar although admittedly there is a really good service providing drinks to the pool.
- 311cedar (10/5): Absolutely Fabulous - Perfect in every way . From the moment we arrived at reception we were welcomed with smiling , helpful staff , offered drinks , shown to our room . The suite was amazing as is the entire hotel .. comfortable and stylish .. gorgeous rooftop pool .... what was even more amazing are the staff -- every single one of them -- from the lovely smiling girl serving drinks at the pool , the breakfast staff who couldn't do enough for us .. just such a gorgeous experience all round .... they clearly are all very proud to be working at the Gran Macina and it's been a long time since I've experienced such genuine warmth , professionalism and incredible customer service service .. most definitely would recommend this hotel and the beautiful location - peaceful and easy access on the ferry to Valletta . Thank you to all of you for making our short stay so special
- Relax37149524761 (10/5): Nice Hotel - Excellent Location The room is big and really nice Fantastic staff Swimming Pool zone is amazing with a great view Really good breakfast
- U941NXnickk (10/5): A tip top holiday based in an excellent hotel. - From when we first arrived at the hotel to the moment we left nine nights later the service provided was world class. Caterina and her front of house colleagues are a credit to the hotel. Nothing was too much trouble and the service was supplied with such good humour. From freshly made breakfasts every day, excellent dinners, often accompanied by live music, a beautiful spacious room and a stunning rooftop pool this place has it all. The location is perfect nicely away from the hustle and bustle of Valletta but only moments away by boat but with so much to explore right from the doorstep. Go there, you will not be disappointed!
- Fran (10/5): - Beautiful accommodation. Staff very friendly and helpful.
- Stephen (10/5): - Beautiful, unique setting in one of the medieval forts, excellent location, excellent service. We had a wonderful stay, thank you.
- 560kathyf (10/5): Most enjoyable three days. - The moment we walked in ,we were welcomed by the lovely reception team. Offered a drink and then shown to our room and a visit to rooftop pool. The dinning room team were amazing, Martha and Neila (spelling)? but from Serbia could not do enough . They attended to everyone in the same way. The housekeeping team the same. The hotel is located near the ferry to get to Valetta which was great. Thank you all and we will be back.
- jasperh804 (10/5): A real gem! - A real gem! We stayed here for our anniversary as it was recommended to us. We had a corner suite, which was spacious and beautifully decorated. There are little personal touches everywhere. Friendly receptionists who recognise you every time you enter the hotel and will go out of their way to find you lovely restaurants or recommend day trips. The waitress in the restaurant who remembers your preferences for breakfast. The hotel was even so kind to create a little display of a birthday cake on our be, made entirely out of towels, for my birthday which happened to be in the same week as our anniversary. Location is also wonderful. 5 minute walk from the ferry that takes you into Valletta. Would highly recommend!
- David (9/5): Wonderful and friendly. - We eat out, so can't comment.
- C8262TSwalterr (10/5): Fantastic and highly recommended - This is one of the best Hotels we‘ve been. Service… be it Concierge , room, Restaurant…. Fantastisic!! Location Perfect! Just 5 min to go to the water Taxi.. It brings you in 10 min to Valetta, which is really wonderful! Room: we had the Corner Suite (106)…Perfect accomodation! The bed. was really extremly comfortable. The view on the Harbour unbeatable. Rolf top Pool : superior! We had booked with breakfast. Superior Service and delicicous Food to order( no buffet) and freshly made for us! We stayed 10 nights. No day , no night anything to complain about! We do highly recommend for Malta visits to go with the Cugó! Bottom line: Fantastisc! Nicole&Walter
- 662StephanH (10/5): Modern, Historic, Strategic, Different, Solid, Friendly, Helpfull - Just Great. - Cugo Gran Macina within the three cities of the Grand Harbour simply is exellent. Why, you may ask? Located in Senglea at the harbour front makes it a "strategic" postion for any Grand Harbour excursion also into Birgu, Cospicua, Valletta and vicinity. The ferry is just across the harbour - some 5 minutes walking. Within minutes one can reach all magnificant churches and museums, fortresses and exibitions abundant. Dining in and out is within a few steps from breakfast to lunch and even better for dinner in waterfront restaurants facing Birgu. So far for the location being topped by the Hotel itself. Housed in 16tiens century fortifications the modern rooms still vibrate former - but now comfortable fortress character, having been an important defence against the turkish troops in 1565, Its nowadays crew being as professional as the former defenders, St. John's knights, and as friendly and helpfull more than you may expect from a 5-star hotel, from concierge to service and cleaning team. Here a special thanks to all of you and the great time we shared with you. The roof top pool not only is good for relaxation after an eventfull day, it also may become the observation place for the maltese rowing teams in the traditional push-pull boats. Eventually they may be accompanied by the harmoneous church bell ringing from the worth the visit churches of great art and deep faith. By the way next up the hill is the Senglea parish church Knisja Maria Bambina - Mary's birth. We felt home and took a bath in Maltas history and culture. Thank you Cugo Gran Macina Crew you helped to make a difference.
- 206AndreaA (10/5): A luxury escape - We got married two years ago at this hotel, and every year we try return for our anniversary. Located just on the seafront with many restaurants close by, it’s ideally positioned. The rooms are spacious, the majority of which have a lovely view. The staff are all very helpful and polite.
- nadhmis2023 (10/5): A Memorable Stay with Stunning Views and Exceptional Service - This hotel truly stands out for its charm, excellent service and unbeatable location. My room overlooked the Harbour offering a peaceful and amazing view, the roof top pool view fantastic .Despite being in a lively area, it was remarkably quiet at night. The room itself was spotless and thoughtfully designed for comfort. I was pleasantly surprised with a welcome note and a complimentary bottle of wine, which added a personal touch. What really made the stay exceptional was the staff. The level of customer service was outstanding warm, welcoming, and always focused on guest satisfaction. I’m especially thankful to Nina and the entire team for their kindness and professionalism throughout my stay. Nina kindly guided us with helpful local tips,and the short route to the nearby ferry terminal. The on site restaurant delivered both in atmosphere and high quality cuisine. I wouldn’t hesitate to return this is easily one of the most distinctive and memorable hotels I’ve experienced.
- Simon (10/5): - Phenomenal hotel. Room was huge and historic. All of the staff were so welcoming. Breakfast on the harbour side was generous and delicious. Roof top pool had amazing views. Highly recommended
- Alexander (10/5): - Excellent boutique hotel with great restaurant
- bectraub (10/5): The most incredible hotel I’ve ever been to - Our experience at the Cugó Gran was beyond incredible and more than we could have ever expected. The place is stunning, in a fortress with super modern decor. The rooms are the perfect temperature and absolutely gorgeous. The staff? I’ve never been to a hotel with nicer, more attentive, more pleasant people who really truly care about their guests. We were staying for a birthday and wedding and they went above and beyond every day for everyone and just made the trip. Count yourself lucky if you get to stay here.
- Simone (9/5): Superb -
- Emily (10/5): - Beautiful property with friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be going back!
- Olivier (6/5): Good for one time - Nice location, beautiful building with nice atmosphere, friendly staff rather expensive versus what you are getting (can not be considered a 5 star hotel) no power outlets in the bathroom, terras was facing big airco's (misrepresented on the pictures); boring breakfast (no buffet, you can pick 5 items from a menu, which is the same every day). The last day I was offered a toast salmon with a rotten piece in it. When confronted with this, I was simply asked if I wanted anything else without any proper apology or explanation. As a final cherry on top they charged us for minibar usage double after we already checked out
