Grand Hotel Excelsior

The hotel has the wow factor when you enter. The staff are extremely friendly and professional. The breakfast buffet was superb. Only a 10 minute walk to the city centre. Our room was extremely spacious, clean and comfortable. The only reason we did not rate the hotel 10, is that it could do with a little up dating but this did not detract from an excellent stay.

Lovely, clean, excellent location just a stones throw from the city centre. Free parking very handy. Room service all night was very good. Breakfast buffet pricey (20euro a head) but tasty and varied. Everyone was helpful and friendly.

The Asian buffet was fantastic!

We stayed in the hotel for 5 nights before Christmas. It’s a really nice big hotel with a great staff, a perfect location next to the sea and near the inner city of Valletta. In terms of hitting what we wanted, the hotel was perfect for us. It seemed to be a mixed clientele of varying nationalities and various ages. The breakfast was good with nice view to the harbour, but we did not eat in the restaurant. The hotel has everything you need. We visited Malta to celebrate my birthday, as very nice surprise the hotel sent in our room a piece of excellent chocolate cake and a bottle of red wine! All the staff were very very helpful and friendly (almost at the reception) on the whole an enjoyable stay but there is room for improvement. Small problem with the heating in our room (in December the outside temperature at the night is around 10-13 degrees) but it was fixed immediately. The hotel inside pool is nice but quite old school. In the main season you can profite of the private beach with small private yacht marine, a large pool outside, outdoor restaurant next to the sea, gym, nice private area around the hotel with small gardens, e. g. Every room has a balcony and you get two free water every day. We forgot our travel adapter / power plug change and we bought them in hotel boutique. The bus station is just before the main gate into Valletta so we used that quite a bit to explore the island. There would be much more to write, but in the end we just want to thank the whole staff. Overall then, hotel was perfect for what we wanted and would absolutely recommend the Grand Hotel Excelsior. We're going to come back to Malta and we will more than likely stay here.

The property is huge and the facilities are great - is a very vintage hotel and definitely needs an upgrade on the bedding sheets and some things in the bathroom but overall is great. Every afternoon a lady pass asking if we need towel or any shampoo - and even gave us chocolates!!! As well, there is a breakfast box that they provided because our flight was very early: we were very happy with it!
