Grand Hotel Excelsior

Great location, staff fantastic, food good, a little tied around the edges but a great place to stay. We definitely be back after refit starting Feb 2027

Cannot fault the hotel or location. We have just returned from a one week stay. Yes, the hotel is slightly dated, however, the rooms and the hotel are immaculately clean and we cannot fault the staff. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The location is pretty central to Valletta centre. There is a minibus drop off that runs from the hotel to the top of the road. If you don’t want to use the minibus, there are around 50 steps from the hotel to the road then a small incline walk (around 10 mins to the centre). Due to the heatwave we were glad of this service. The breakfast service is excellent. There is plenty of choice for everyone’s palate. We ate in the Admiral landing restaurant and again, the food and service was excellent. I am aware that the hotel is going to be refurbished after the season. I will definitely be back once it reopens. Would I recommend the Grand Hotel Excelsior, Definitely!

Good location and shuttle up Valletta city a must. Hotel is very tired and not 5 star rooms or service. 3 star at best. Balconies not private at all.

The location is excellent. Very close to Valletta, the local bus station, near to the water front and only 15 minutes from the airport. We used Uber and Bolt taxis to get around the Island. Once you have downloaded the app it's the best way to travel. The rooms are good, but could do with some updating and decoration. Free water everyday, with the room cleaned daily. We were on the 3rd floor which was very quiet. The pool is good although a bit slippy as you walk into it, and the food and drink setvice was very good. When ordered they took very little time to arrive and the staff pleasant. We went half board and although expensive the evening dinner had plenty of variety and eat as much as you like. The breakfast was good and again a lot of variety although the tea is not good. Overall the hotel was good for us, but not a 5 star by any means. However we had a fantastic week in Malta and the location of the hotel is spot on. Would stay again and recommend to others.

We enjoyned our stay so much. The staff is very friendly. The Pool and the Beach area is wonderfull. The rooms are very clean. The Noise Level very low. The atmosphere is fantastic. The location is very good to see Valletta.
