Thank you, to all the staff at The Grand, you made our recent stay enjoyable and trouble free. The hotel, is very clean, the staff are warm and friendly. The location is excellent to walk into Valletta ,the airport, and the local bus terminal. We would definitely stay again.

Fantastic except for two things. The aircon was not working properly so we opened the sliding door get fresh air in. Unfortunately the staff at the entrance to the hotel working nights thought everyone else was also up so they kept us up with their laughter and banging about of luggage, slamming car doors. So if I were to book again I would book sea view, far away from front door!

The customer service was amazing! The pools were great & the views were spectacular. Everything we wanted to see is within a 15-20 min walk of the hotel. I felt completely safe walking at night. The food was good & reasonably priced. Loved being able to store our bags after checkout so we could continue to tour the city before our flight.

The hotel is well situated 10 minutes walk from the main gates of Valletta. Hotel is large and generally clean. Our room had a large terrace, but with no parasol so would be very exposed when hotter, the outside pool was being renovated which we weren't informed of. Good cleanliness and warm service. Breakfast was busy, although in a single large room it was not too noisy. The reason for 4 stars only was that small things like sauces, salt and pepper only being available in sachets felt cheap and a bit B&B. Coffee in the room was also Nescafe sachets - as bit cheap when paying £200 per night.
