Great views and a lovely pool, but a few things could be improved.
We recently stayed at Grand Suites and overall had a good stay. There are plenty of positives, but a few issues stopped it being a 4-star experience for us.
The best bits: the pool is lovely and the views are beautiful. Our room was spacious, cool and comfortable (limited daylight though), with a large, very comfy bed, good air conditioning and lighting, and excellent shower pressure. The kitchenette was really handy, with a great fridge and small freezer compartment. There was also plenty of wardrobe space, a safe and daily towel changes.
The Mediterranean Bliss spa package was fantastic and definitely a highlight ofthe stay a lovely, relaxing experience and well worth doing.
The location is good, the pool area gets very busy, with loungers packed closely together. The loungers weren't particularly comfortable and couldn't be adjusted to sit more upright, which isn't ideal if you have a bad back. The pool showers leave the floor wet around the steps, making it slippery. We also found the pool steps into the pool very slippery and difficult to see clearly, and witnessed several people slip. This definitely needs attention from a safety point of view along with removal of damaged loungers/umbrellas.
The room had a couple of quirky issues. The toilet roll holder is bizarrely positioned underneath the sink, making it awkward to reach from the toilet. The kitchenette was useful, but there was no draining board for crockery and cutlery after washing up.
The breakfast was probably the biggest disappointment. At €15 each, we expected better quality. There was a good selection, but the food itself wasn't particularly impressive quality wise.
The restaurant food was ok but nothing to rave about and €4.95 for a bottle of water felt very steep, as did some of the bar prices.
Overall, Grand Suites has plenty going for it, great views, a lovely pool, comfortable rooms, a fantastic spa experience and friendly staff (some with very limited understanding though). With better attention to pool safety, more comfortable loungers, a few practical room improvements and better-quality breakfast food, it could be a really excellent hotel.

Great hotel / wrong location
Chose this hotel as a package holiday staying in Sliema but this comes under Gzira which I felt was very run down and derelict looking in parts and a shock to the system as not what I was expecting tbh. Hotel itself fantastic, staff friendly and welcoming, roof top pool area very busy at times but a great spa pool down in the basement. Food was good although we had a studio apartment on top floor with kitchen etc. On a positive note Gzira is well connected by bus to help you get out and about and explore other areas of Malta 十

Good hotel but a little out of the town
Hotel was located a little way out of Sliema but the rooms were clean and the beds very comfortable. The pool on the roof was lovely however the steps were incredibly slippy, a number of guests slipped including myself slipped on the steps when getting into the pool. The only other criticism was our room wasn’t cleaned on two of our 5 days stay. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

A wonderful hotel in a great location
We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Grands Suites Hotel Residences and Spa. From the warm welcome received when we arrived to the friendly goodbye at the end we had an amazing time here and I'd highly recommend it! We treated ourselves to a Presidential Suite and we were definitely not disappointed! The room was kept spotlessly clean throughout our stay, as was the rest of the hotel to be fair. A big shout out to our housekeeper, Joji, who really was very good at his job and so friendly and polite too. He made such a good job of keeping our room clean and stocked with clean towels, etc. The location was actually really good. There were some fantastic shops, bars and restaurants all within just a few minutes walk in Gzira itself, and about 20 to 25 minutes walking would see you in Sliema with even more. The views from our balcony were amazing. We used the rooftop bar and Eleven Eleven and I must say that the food and drinks here were very good and really good service. I personally didn't enjoy the pool area, it had amazing views, but the sun loungers were all very close together and only a few had good pool access - understandably given the layout of the area, but for me it just didn't work. Also, the pool was regularly overcrowded so it just didn't make for a pleasant experience. Others seemed to love it though, as I say, this is just my personal opinion, please don't let it put you off. We didn't use the gym or indoor pool, but did go down to take a look and both looked really good. We would absolutely stay here again, it was a great location in itself, but also made a fabulous base to see the rest of the island as well as getting boat trips as well. Oh, beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Each floor also has a recycling room (more hotels should do this!) and a laundry room!
