Grand Hotel Excelsior

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.

This was our third stay and it didn’t disappoint! We stayed in a terrace room which had loads of space and great views towards the marina. Room whilst a little dated, was clean, tidy and very comfortable. Pool area is fantastic and lovely to be able to take a swim in the sea Location is good with the shuttle up the hill helpful in the soaring heat Great staff and overall a very enjoyable stay

Arrived nearly 4 hours ago and was told at check in they would have a word with housekeeping to see if our room could be done sooner due to us mentioning we had been up since 02.00 to get here - we didn't ask for this but appreciated it being said to us. Otherwise we would get access to our room at 15.00. Went at 15.00 to get access to our room - reception not really sure if ready so rang housekeeping. Housekeeping apparently said they would need to go and check the room. I was told to return in 10 minutes. My husband went back at 15.20 and he was told the exact same thing! They needed to check the room. My irritation is don't tell us that rooms will be ready at 15.00, when they clearly aren't and then just keep adding 10 minutes on each time we ask! Surely the hotel must have a room that is ready!!!
