Reviews for Grand Hotel Excelsior
All excellent except the coffee!
Location and atmosphere was excellent. There was a problem with the room above that affected ours however the duty manager resolved our issue and we were moved to a new room. The only comment was the poor quality of the coffee at the breakfast, it was not good (coffee is very important first thing in the morning!

NOT a 5 star experience
Sorry to say this is definitely not a 5 star hotel —3.5 would be more accurate in my opinion. Hotel looks tired (decor, accommodations etc) and it is scheduled for renovation so hopefully will improve. Service at bar and main dining restaurant in evenings was spotty at best. Most waiters appeared rather surly and never smiled and did appear to ignore women’s requests vs men’s requests. Housekeeping staff were pleasant and helpful. Reception desk staff were pleasant and professional but restaurant and dining staff need further training before the hotel could be considered 5 star.

Saved by its location
Our room (suite) was disappointing; although it was clean the rooms are very tired and dark and in need of complete renovation. The tea and coffee facilities in the room were appreciated. The location of the hotel is excellent, overlooking the bay and is close to pubic transport. The bar and restaurants were okay, but again tired looking and too dark at night. The service at the pool was disappointing, staff scarce and appeared apathetic.

Great hotel experience.
Location was excellent. Facilities were superb. Shuttle bus was a bonas for elderly customers. Staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Rooms were fine (looking a little dated) hence the refurb next February. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

Great location and great staff (special mention for Sabrina)
Stayed for a week in September. First room smelled damp and even sheets felt a little damp. Spoke with Sabrina on reception and she managed to switch our rooms. The second room was bigger and very comfortable (thank you Sabrina) Location was great and breakfast good. All staff were helpful. Main niggle for me was being a coeliac there was no gf beer at the bar.
