The location, the facilities and the staff was very polite
GreeceConsidering the location and what the hotel has to offer it is incredibly affordable. It is located 10 minutes walk from Valletta city centre, it offers a pool by the harbor, a nice view of the harbor, a spa (this is extra), underground parking and more.
NetherlandsEverything was up to standard. Staff were helpful. And the pool was very nice.
MaltaQuite accessible in that it's just outside the old town. The artificial beach and cordoned off swimming area in the harbour was amazing! It was so nice to swim in being able to get up from your sun lounger and either go for a swim in the pool or the sea within thirty seconds! Can't rate this highly enough.
IrelandGreat family room, hearty breakfast, large pool with sea access, excellent poolside cafe and central location in Valletta.
United KingdomWe visited as covid restrictions are just being lifted. Hotel checked temperature on entry. Other safety issues addressed. Due to restrictions breakfast served in room. No extra charge for room service. Hotel very quiet.
United KingdomThe facility was elegant and the staff was superior. Everything about the facility was more than what we had expected.
United States of AmericaExceptional & courteous service staff, wonderful variety of delicious meals, great bar staff and drink selections, spotless & spacious room, plentiful amenities & services, convenient location for buses, tour stops, etc. We look forward to our return stay @ GRAND HOTEL EXCELSIOR and recommend to others.
ItalyThis was a great hotel! The rooms were large and comfortable. The staff were always helpful. The guest relations reps helped me with a tour and Birthday surprise for my husband. It has a beautiful lounge area. Breakfast Buffet was extensive with made to order eggs. Good location but there are steps to get to main road.
