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.
