The Grand Harbour hotel

Toilet flush needs fixing. You have to stay there and flush it at least 2-3 times to get rid of even a strip of toilet paper, so you can imagine how difficult it is for any other business. The downstairs corridors smell damp but the room itself is fine. Seagulls wont let you sleep. Not reallu hotels fault but just a warning for other travellers.

Then re-cross the road and go back round the corner to access the building where the room is located. None of this in itself was a problem so long as you don’t expect to stay in a ‘hotel’ but a set-up more like a hostel (without the self catering facilities).

Breakfast setup was unusual. No service.
The hotel was functional spmething like Travel lodge. Not somewhere to enjoy a long weekend or weeks holiday.

The rooms were very hot and noisy at night due to the trucks for the harbour. The noise can’t be helped but the hot rooms can be
