Grand Hotel Excelsior

The location of hotel was fantastic we had bay views couldn’t beat it, The hotel had a good Atmosphere over all , Rooms were great size great view, Overall Value was good but meals & Drinks a bit expensive, also menus need to be made clearer what’s available on night time and prices. Cleanliness was good over all . Noise level was good had one bad night but not down to them as a rave going on in castle opposite. Some of the services could be better but breakfast tables not cleared & replaced very quickly. Pool staff need to clean around pool better tables needed cleaning & sunbeds need replacing with better as a lot where breaking looked dirty, pool waiters blanket you a fair bit but not always & to clear things away more. Why was rules around pool different to American’s than the rest of us allowing glass bottles lots of them be around pool while they drinking heavily also eating in the pool. Also needs to be clear if you can smoke around pool & on your balcony as people where. We was in room 424 and people next door where using a glass as an ashtray yesterday evening & first thing this morning 10/08/26 room 423. Was nice to have a big pool with great back drop, how ever shallow end was very slippery saw more than one person have a heavy fall getting in needs some sort of grip tap putting on steps in. But overall had a great stay.

Beautiful hotel. Ideal location -,close to bus station and Valletta's Triton fountain. Restaurants have fabulous views. One restaurant at harbour side where you get great sunset views. Nice pool with plenty of sun beds. Room was spacious and comfortable with tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge which was useful. Staff were polite, friendly and professional at all times. Shuttle bus up to Triton Fountain was appreciated as the weather was so hot. It is easily walkable but there are steps to negotiate and when it’s hot that can be tiring. Coming back downhill is not so bad.:5 minutes away from the bus station where you can get a bus to almost anywhere on the island. 2.50 euros takes you anywhere.

Lovely hotel with great staff, good service and surprisingly very reasonable prices for food and drinks. Every meal we had was very good and portion sizes were huge, try the Rigatoni as a starter, it is more like a main. Rooms great on floor 4, shade in the morning and blistering sun in the afternoon, Aircon was a blessing. This hotel was a great experience from start to finish,get to know the staff and interact with them, they will look after you. We will be back!
