Reviews for Grand Hotel Excelsior
Anniversary bliss at the Grand
To celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary we booked the Excelsior and was not disappointed. We arrived to an upgrade to deluxe room, with harbour view, folded towels and a bottle of local fizz with chocolates. WOW. Our stay was fantastic, the pool, bar area and sea terrace are fab, the indoor pool and spa facilities- great. The communal areas of the hotel are very grand and well appointed. The bar with harbour views is superb as was my espresso martini. We did not eat at the hotel. The shuttle bus up the hill is great if you can’t manage the 100 or so steps. Yes the rooms could do with a little updating and a more powerful hairdryer but other than that is a great hotel. The staff are accommodating and hardworking. It’s not a modern boutique style hotel it’s a classic comfortable glamorous place. Our experience was grand. Thank you

Not a 5 star experience by any means
This is a large, mass tourist hotel which seems to trade off its great location on the harbour, but providing poor, out dated accommodation. We were genuinely taken aback that this hotel holds a 5 star classification: the rooms are dingy and old fashioned - those facing the city also carry the smells of a city - making balconies unusable. We had booked a Superior Deluxe Room with balcony at over €300 per night - shocked at the quality versus the cost.

Very well ran.
Very fancy hotel, the staff are great and helpful and they will always improve the quality of your stay with any request ( Use of Iron and board or refund on unused breakfast vouchers) Enjoyed my stay here right near central Valletta. The room was spacious, amenities plentiful , shuttle to Valetta wall gate, pool inside and out and lovely restaurants.

Short trip
Nice classic hotel and well run quick check in rooms comfortable buffet wide and a good variety of options. Hotel has shuttle to city gates but only takes 5 minutes walk . We did make use of the pool but looked nice Lounge music by various musicians in evenings in the bar

Wonderful Stay
Perfect location for us, just a 10 minute walk into centre where you will find lots of wonderful restaurants, bars and shops. Such a beautiful hotel. The staff I have to say were amazing and attentive, especially Heathcliff Vella on the Concierge desk who heled sort taxis, transfers and general advice and support and also Jordan in the reception area who helped with welcome drinks, luggage, doors, information and advice to name but a few. Thank you to all
