The Grand Hotel stands on the hill above Mgarr Harbour, where the ferries from Malta arrive, which makes it the most practical place to stay on Gozo if you are coming without a car. Most of its ninety-five rooms and family suites face the sea, with views across the Gozo Channel to Comino and the fishing boats coming and going below. There is an outdoor pool for the warmer months and an indoor pool year-round, plus a spa with a few treatment rooms. Dining includes the Il Migiarro restaurant and Level Nine on the top floor, and a summer terrace for outdoor meals. From here, the Blue Lagoon boats, the island buses and Victoria’s Citadel are all within easy reach.
Guests describe the walk from the ferry as short but uphill, so arrange a taxi if you have heavy bags. The style is classic rather than cutting-edge, and rates are moderate for the views. It suits families, island-hoppers and anyone who wants to stay on Gozo after the day-trippers leave.
