Cugo Gran Macina Malta

Loved our stay at Cugo Gran! We visited during December and stayed here for 4 nights. Special shout out to Momo!!! She deserves 7 stars! Every staff member we interacted with was great - courteous and friendly. We arrived very early from our previous destination. We checked in, not expecting to get our room any earlier since the check-in time is 3 PM but Momo was amazing and worked some magic to give us our room within 2 hours. We had a little snafu with our reservation cleared that up, brought us some complementary drinks, gave us an information about the island since we said we would go explore while the rooms were getting ready. We had booked a suite since we’re traveling with 2 kids… check out the pics- it was a great room, but the views were def the highlight. We could see the harbor from our rooms and the December lights made the view extra special. Also, a bonus is that the ferry to Valletta is right around the corner over the bridge! The on site restaurant is highly rated - we paid for breakfast to be included in our stay, and by the 4th day, we were fatigued of even that delicious food :) The menu is short and there are not very many customization options beyond what is on the menu. A couple of minor inconveniences that I’d like to note - the bathroom while spacious has an open shower stall and water spills all over the floor after a shower, there are no plugs in the bathroom for ladies to use any tools for the hair!, there are plenty of plug points all over but weirdly they are different (which does help) and some of them don’t work, no heated pool or hot tub, and lastly - the quality of the towels and robes is just so run down I’m surprised that they even use them tbh… it just doesn’t suit the quality of the place!

Fantastic hotel in a lovely location that overlooks a harbour. Food and service are excellent. There is a ferry to Valletta a 5 minute walk away. We stayed over New Year and enjoyed the celebrations on the rooftop. Highly recommended, thank you for a lovely week away!

Staying here is like stepping back in time. Boutique hotel located in a former bastion where the rooms are large and well appointed. Staff was engaged and friendly. Location is superior for exploring Bormla. Ferry to Valletta was so easy to get to just a 5 minute walk. We will stay here again.
