Grand Hotel Excelsior

Good location just outside Valletta city gates. Comfortable rooms. Complimentary toiletries, dressing gown, slippers and pool towels. Bar area and bar food reasonably priced. Plenty of choice at breakfast. Had dinner one evening in restaurant. Very expensive. Would advise eating in the bar.

Best experience I will be coming back every year please don't change anything. The food the service the atmosphere the rooms just wonderful . The reception is even better no Ruch take time for everyone smile positive attitude just the best I ever visited

A return visit. A fine hotel, if a little tired in its decor, particularly the bedrooms. The bedrooms are well serviced and clean, with a small chocolate each evening. The public areas such as reception, bar etc are fine, but some of the corridors' carpets need a clean. Staff in the main part are pleasant and helpful. A special thanks to Ashraf and the lady in the shop for sorting out cables and adapters. There is a very wide choice at breakfast and the dinner buffet. Sadly, in our opinion, the food was often not hot - with excuses of the air conditioning etc, etc. I tested this by pronging a sausage at breakfast and eating it (sorry!) It was cold! The coffee is not at all pleasant served in thermos flasks. A latte or cappuccino is an extra. We love Malta and will return to the Excelsior on our next visit. The pluses outweigh any minor negative issues

Not a great start,driver very rude ushering us to minibus when jet2 rep still explaining things.on arrival were told room not ready till 3 but we could leave luggage so we did and thought we'd have a drink in the bar until then.mved from first table as a business man was having a very loud conference call at next table which wasn't what we wanted on our holiday.first drinks arrived promptly but ordered another which still hadn't arrived after 40 minutes and another member of staff asked,finally arrived after 3rd member was asked.room still not ready at 3 no apology just told to have a seat.service not acceptable.rooms tatty need updating bed very comfortable and lovely bathroom.domestic staff fabulous although had to ask for items not stocked up.service at pool awful too.were told about work around pool and had enquired before arrival about a room further away from it,we couldn't have been closer ,right in front of us.waking us before 7 and carried on until after 6 some days.breakfast very good with everything you could want.loved valletta and will be back but not to this hotel.not a 5 star needs a lot of work and customer service training.

The location of this hotel in Valeta is superb and the staff very amenable We had a deluxe room with full sea view and it was lovely.The restaurant is very welcoming and the breakfast very good with many choices to suit everyone.The views from the hotel across the harbour are to die for.It is a very big hotel and caters for hundreds of guests and so when there is a conference on……and there was when we visited ,it gets very very busy.The hotel is starting to show its age now and needs a refurbishment.The indoor pool is really a kids pool and other than a very small gym(6 people and full)there are no other facilities.They do offer a steam room and sauna for €10 tho🥲!And very expensive treatments. Would I stay again?Yes.Its all about……location location location.
