Grand Hotel Excelsior

This was our fourth visit to the hotel and again it was excellent, Janette in Guest relations is an angel, reception and concierge and not forgetting the transport desk gave excellent service All members of staff not forgetting the good housekeeping excellent The hotel is very clean and comfortable, rooms spacious and clean, fantastic location and all staff are very friendly and helpful It’s a hotel we will always return to when we visit Malta

This hotel is in an excellent location for visiting Valletta and the rest of the island. Staff were all very friendly and our room was very comfortable. The furnishings in the hotel are a bit dated but the service and amenities are very good. Lots of choice at breakfast, including fresh omelettes and pancakes. We felt that the temperature in the indoor pool was a bit chilly, which meant we didn't use it as much as we would have liked. There was a live singer in the main bar in the evenings, which was nice. On the whole this is a good choice and we would return if we came back to Malta.

First time staying at this hotel, 28th December to 4th January. Beautiful hotel with spacious rooms but very dated bathrooms with shower curtain which had seen better days. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices to suit all tastes. Only disappointment was the cheap juices rather than freshly squeezed juices. The hotel bar is good and Suresh one of the bartenders is brilliant. One of the best bartenders we've ever encountered.

This has been my second visit and as previously it did not disappoint. We had an amazing deluxe Seaview room which had stunning views of Manoel island and the harbour and marina. We stayed half board which included buffet breakfast and evening meal buffet which both had a vast array of food to accommodate all tastes and diets. The housekeeping service cleaned daily and also had an evening service to top up tea and coffee etc My favourite touch is the mini chocolates left in the room every evening. The hotel is a 10 minute walk to Valletta which is quite a steep walk and steps from the hotel, they provide a bus service for guests also to and from Valletta. There is a gym, pools and Spa on site plus outdoor pool which I didn't use this stay, but did many times on my previous stay. The reception staff were welcoming and very helpful with any issues or questions we had regardless of how busy they were. I can't fault the hotel and service during our stay. I will be back again soon. Thank you you are all amazing.

We had not intended on staying at this hotel. We had an issue at the hotel we were staying at within Valletta, so we did a quick search for alternatives. From the moment I rang them up to check availability, they were fantastic. The room was huge, fantastic amenities, lovely large bathroom. We had turn down service each night. We had food in the resteraunt, and it was competitively priced with places in Valletta, the food was lovely - was one of the best burgers i had have in years. The cocktails here were a little pricey, but the quality was superb. The only negative was guests no longer appear to have access to the Spa section, as its privately ran now. The hotel pool and whirlpool were meant to be heated but they were cold (they are indoors - they have a huge outdoor pool which i imagine in the summer is fantastic). If budget allowed, I would not hesitate in staying here again. As we booked it so last minute i think we had a really good deal.
