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.

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.

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!

Misses the mark but lovely place
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.

Fabulous location for exploring
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.

Wonderful family stay
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.

The property has a modern decor, relatively new. But for some reason, there was no hot water running in the shower the first night we stayed. It took slightly more than an hour to fix and we couldn't go to bed until past midnight. We also rented a car through the hotel, confirmed the night before, but 10 mins before we expected the car in the morning, the hotel told us that the car was unavailable. So we had to scramble to find an alternative. Eventually, the hotel helped us found another rental company, but we had lost 2 hours that morning of our itinerary. Some things are not in the hotel's control, but I think the handling can be done better.

Dear Mrs. Yee Lin. Thank you very much for your detailed review. We are sorry to hear that you couldn’t enjoy the full experience of the Cugó Gran Macina Grand Harbour. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience about the hot water and the technical issue with the car rental company. At the same time, we are happy to hear as well that our maintenance team was able to assist and solved the issue at this night within an hour, we are always ready to fix any unexpected issue that may happen in our hotels in order to create memorable stays for our guests. And glad to hear as well that our front office team was able to assist you to find immediately an alternative car rental company on the same day; as we spoke during your stay, unfortunately, the external car company canceled your card last minute, and we started to work as soon as they mentioned a new car for you, once again happy that we find a solution within a couple of hours. Thank you very much for staying with us and we’re looking forward to welcoming you back again to our Fortress. Best regards,

10/10 Excellent

We had the most wonderful stay at the Cugo Gran Macina Gran Harbour hotel. The staff team were amazing, the best we’ve encountered! Special thanks go to Marc for his attentiveness all week, nothing was ever too much trouble. The hotel is in the most perfect location to explore the local area of the three cities and there’s easy access to the ferry across to Valletta which leaves every 15 mins or so. Breakfast at the hotel is great. We also dined at the Hammett’s Macina Restaurant one evening and the food was superb. Go on a Wednesday evening and you’ll be treated to some lovely live music. The singer/guitarist Ben Bailey performed when we were in and he was terrific. All in all, a very special place…We will be back. Thank you, team Cugo Gran!

Amazing Hotel snd Stay
Lovely stay. The room was amazing, and the staff were friendly and very helpful. The location in Senglea has the right balance of being not overwhelmed by tourists and being able to interact with the locals while only 10 minutes from Valletta via the ferry which is only 50 metres or so from the hotel.

Dear Tony, We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for taking the time to review your stay with us here in the Macina. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and will be sure to pass on your kind words to the team. Buried in the heart of historical Senglea, surrounded by heritage and culture you are able to get a feel of being in authentic Malta still, but as you say with only a short boat ride away from the vibrant capital of Valletta. We are so pleased you were able to get the most out of your stay with us and it will be a pleasure to host you again in the future. Kind regards,

Stunning!
Amazing hotel in a great location. The service is some of the best I’ve ever known and the suite we had was stunning. Great food in the restaurant and brilliant poolside service. The only frustration we had were the parties on the roof which the hotel had no control over.
