Lock in a great price for Grand Hotel Excelsior – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

I liked that the hotel was well situated and was walking distance the all amenities 😊

Maria, Gibraltar

I have stayed at this hotel before and love it, Valletta is also a beautiful place to visit

Wanda, United Kingdom

The location of the hotel, just several hundred metres outside the city walls was within easy reach. People with difficulty walking will find the hotels location and Valletta itself a bit of a challenge. The bars and poolside area were especially nice as they overlooked the harbour and were a great place to 'chill out' before retiring to bed. The breakfast was particularly good with a very good choice of food on offer with a chef on hand to cook omelettes to your taste. The hotel was able to arrange tours for you if you preferred or explained how to get around by bus whose terminus was just outside the city walls.

John, United Kingdom

We arrived early however our room was ready and prepared to an excellent standard. Our welcome drink was greatly appreciated as we had a long journey. Wonderful staff for whom nothing was a problem. We joined the Sunday Lunch Buffet which was beyond my expectations. A fiesta of food to suit all tastes. Excellent value. A fabulous hotel in an excellent location. Got to love Malta.

Simon, United Kingdom

nothing really - this is maybe good for average tourists who travel rarely

Paolo, Austria

Great facilities and lovely views of Mediterranean Sea.

Jasmine, New Zealand

Location of the hotel was perfect just 5 minutes walk into Valletta and to the bus station where buses run to all destinations on the island. Staff were really helpful apart from the bar service around the pool! Room nicely placed with balcony just decor is a little tired, room very clean and very comfy. We had a lovely stay and really enjoyed Valletta. 😁

Tony, United Kingdom

The hotel was great, pompous and nice. It made us feel like royalty. All the fecilities were clean and the staff was extremely lovely. The position is fantastic, just outside the main square in Valletta so it's perfect to go around!

Giouk, United Kingdom

Enjoyed everything about the hotel, but found the uphill walk to the shops on a hot day, tiring.

Ronald, New Zealand

Most of the staff were friendly and competent, but overworked. The drinks were good, but food in Spice Restaurant was inconsistent. Tiki Bar is such a potentially great place but massively underutilised, bar menu was small. Rooms are quiet, and comfortable, the cleaning staff excellent. The private rooms were good.

눉There was nothing to dislike.
눇The location of the hotel, just several hundred metres outside the city walls was within easy reach. People with difficulty walking will find the hotels location and Valletta itself a bit of a challenge. The bars and poolside area were especially nice as they overlooked the harbour and were a great place to 'chill out' before retiring to bed. The breakfast was particularly good with a very good choice of food on offer with a chef on hand to cook omelettes to your taste. The hotel was able to arrange tours for you if you preferred or explained how to get around by bus whose terminus was just outside the city walls.

- • Business trip

- • Family Room - Pool Area (2 Adults + 2 Children)
- • Stayed 1 night
눉I booked a room with 2 large beds - I got a single king size. Not ideal to have -60% of the sleeping real estate. Asked the reception a very nice girl had no idea of which rooms have what equipment nor my reservation showed anything to her that indicated 2 beds. We all crammed into the small bed and that was it. I had to be up at 5am anyway so my suffering was short. They clearly have upgraded their beds to a larger size (maybe that's why they publicise them as "king size"?) and the proof of that is that sheets don't fit the beds - missing 30cm. The wifi is the annoying kind you have to reconnect with id/pw every time you re-open your phone. There are no plugs next to the bed so you either start your day with 10% battery or you leave your phone on the floor as the only plug was already used by the laptop. That works well as I could crawl around the room homing to the sound&light beacon of my phone announcing 5am. The bathroom has no shower - a wall-applied hand shower in the slipper bathtub. Thankfully they provide a plastic mat if you don't trust your feet to adhere to the enamel while wet. Having left early I could not get a breakfast - I got while standing up a coffee made with luke-warm water and a shot portion of nescafe - a minimalistic morning torture. The hotel itself is large and has a nice view but it's certainly not as refined or luxurious as it is purported to be. It's a mid/low tourist trap. Finally - and that's Malta and not the hotel's fault, but to get a taxi one has to answer a full questionnaire: when is the flight, what company, what room you stayed in, how you will pay, etc. etc. etc. after a long Q&A the taxi gets ordered (a long ordeal as all the Q&A data is transmitted over voice connection, in English, from-to non-native speakers) and then even though there isn't a soul on the streets, wait 20 minutes for the car to arrive.
눇nothing really - this is maybe good for average tourists who travel rarely

눉Bathroom floors should have been cleaned thoroughly and the shower was difficult to get into and out from.
눇Room was spacious, well appointed and quiet. Breakfast and dinners were good and generally the hotel was efficiently run.

“Soup spoons and fish knives for breakfast”

눉Our room looked over the pool where events and bars gave rise to loud noise going on till well after midnight, 3am one night. Food was poor and cutlery bizarre, we had soup spoons for cereal and fish knives to butter bread at breakfast. The hotel is pretty run down and in desperate need of renovation.
눇Halpful reception staff.

눉There are many steps to climb from the hotel so if you are not ever so able this might be an issue. The bar service around the pool is really poor taking 30 minutes to bring a drinks order with plenty of staff around & pool and pool area not busy. Was happy to fetch our own drinks but they wouldn’t allow this! Crazy.. we thought. Rooms need updating a bit. Toilet went clunk every time we sat on it. Grout missing in bathroom tiles. But nothing major. Just with the hotel being a 5 star and cost was expecting the best! Still very much enjoyed our stay though.
눇Location of the hotel was perfect just 5 minutes walk into Valletta and to the bus station where buses run to all destinations on the island. Staff were really helpful apart from the bar service around the pool! Room nicely placed with balcony just decor is a little tired, room very clean and very comfy. We had a lovely stay and really enjoyed Valletta. 😁

“Great hotel and right in town!”

눉The fecilities were slightly older than I would expect from a 5 star hotel but still nice and clean. The hotel was packed and on the second night we had to wait a bit longer to get our room clean, not really a big issue but worth mentioning!
눇The hotel was great, pompous and nice. It made us feel like royalty. All the fecilities were clean and the staff was extremely lovely. The position is fantastic, just outside the main square in Valletta so it's perfect to go around!

눉Would have liked a shuttle running regularly up to the shops from the hotel
눇Enjoyed everything about the hotel, but found the uphill walk to the shops on a hot day, tiring.

“A grand hotel that needs a little investment, but overall a pleasant experience.”
- • Business trip

- • 4 rooms

눉The hotel is worn. The chairs in the bars and dining room are threading, also in the rooms. The choice of internal restaurants is really limited. The main elevators were poor.
눇Most of the staff were friendly and competent, but overworked. The drinks were good, but food in Spice Restaurant was inconsistent. Tiki Bar is such a potentially great place but massively underutilised, bar menu was small. Rooms are quiet, and comfortable, the cleaning staff excellent. The private rooms were good.
