Loved this hotel,though rooms need updating. Loved location,staff were friendly and welcoming. Think best place in Valletta to stay. Very easy to visit all the sights.

Lovely hotel, lovely pool area, not too far from Valetta centre (10 minute walk). Room was spacious and very nice. Victorian vibe to the hotel, which I really liked. Food was nice and plentiful - we only had breakfast. I'd definitely recommend the hotel and we plan to go back, but probably not in August - it was so hot! The air con in the room and public rooms was very welcome!

19th August. Staying here currently. Whilst the hotel has a five star status, the sunbeds round the pool are definitely not. They are cheap and nasty. Falling apart. Most uncomfortable to sit or lie on for any length of time. You cannot possibly have a luxurious day round the pool. They need serious attention. A cushion wouldn’t go a miss. Huge over sight and terrible let down.

Arrived a day late due to a cancelled jet2 flight, phoned ahead and hotel confirmed rooms still booked, booked another flight out with easyjet the next morning, arrived to be told the room was available, then 5 days into the holiday 2 managers and a security guard came into our rom whilst asleep at 11pm telling us we owed £4,000 as jet2 5 days on had cancelled the hotel room, completely contradicted what the reception had said when we checked in, spoke with numerous staff all clueless and then the general manager who was zero use as he was only bothered about him being paid instead of sticking up to jet2, so we had to check oput and pay a hotel room bill at high rates and much more than the whole holiday originally cost, really poor ettiquete from the hotel staff and general manager. weirdly enough numerous other couples in the same predicament were allowed to check out without having to pay for their rooms, so complete discrimination not to mention envasion of privacy not even compensated for when rudely awoken by staff coming into your room when asleep naked in bed, shocking behaviour.

My family stayed at the Grand Excelsior Hotel in Valletta during August 2026. It was an amazing holiday. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. The facilities are excellent. The pool is beautiful. Cleanliness is top of their agenda. It's spotless throughout. Location wise it's ideal. Right next to the harbour and a 6 minute walk to the town Very close to the ferry's. So much room in the hotel so you never feel crowded. Highly recommend. We will be returning.
