“Grand Harbour Hotel wins for its prime Valletta location overlooking the harbor, a view many rooms share. I'd say it's a solid choice if you value a good breakfast and friendly service, though the climb to the city center might be tricky for some. Keep in mind some of the rooms may need a refresh.”
