Reviews for Grand Hotel Excelsior
Definitely requires improvement but holiday I definitely needed.
A bit wary of travelling to after reading some of the reviews here. Check in was quick and efficient as was checkout. Housekeeping was a hit or a miss- had to ask to get room done one day. Room was lovely and spacious. Nice bathroom. Breakfast was buffet and could have been hotter. Staff slow to clear tables. Admiral and tiki both good for evening meals. With relaxing atmosphere. Hotel nice and central- had shuttle bus to town centre. Definitely in need of refurbishment. Will I be back? Unsure.

Hotel in good location
Great location to stay to get around the island with the bus station 10 minutes walk. Hotel in need of updating very dark decor. Quite noisy hammering and banging early 6am ish on a couple of mornings. Quite noisy at breakfast time and a lot of pushing by other guests. We were amused one evening when we were enjoying a drink by the poolside watching some ladies enjoying their drinks whilst floating in the main pool, ice bucket was on the side. A glass(plastic as it turned out)was left on the edge of the small pool. We pointed this out to the security guard as he walked by picking up the ice bucket from the side of the main pool, his reply.. 'I only pick up glass'. We did pick up this plastic glass, it look untidy and handed it in to the bar when we handed our plastic glasses in too.

Wonderful holiday - would definitely return.
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by friendly and courteous staff. Check in was a breeze. We had a full sea view room and the view over the Grand Harbour was amazing. The toiletries were plentiful and were replenished every day. The evening meals in both restaurants were very good. Staff were very knowledgeable regarding booking trips. The hotel is also within a short walking distance into Valletta town which has plenty of bars and restaurants however, if you don’t fancy the walk, the hotel runs a courtesy mini bus every 20 minutes.

Chilled 9 nights
We stayed here for 9 nights in a seaview room with breakfast. The room was great with stunning views across the harbours. Breakfast was buffet style with plenty of choice. Pool was great with plenty of sunbeds. no having to get up and put a towel on one There were plenty of staff to help and were very friendly. Vellatta was about a 10 min walk away up a hill but the hotel had a courtesy bus to take you up if you needed it. Would 100% stay here again
