Lovely hotel, staff very good and friendly. Service at pool very good one day and very bad another day. Lovely to be able to swim in Med from man made beach...could make it more comfy under foot. Very close to valette entry bridge.... 5 min walk..
Outside toilet out of use and disgusting but not blocked off and no signage. Wasn't a nice find! Jacuzzi too cold....same as pool.

A huge and grand hotel, with very old fashioned furniture which I’m not a big fan of but was manageable for a night as the actual hotel, facilities and location are amazing! A beautiful indoor pool, amazing outdoor pool with breathtaking views of the sea, and gorgeous Tiki huts, for chilling out during warm nights. Breakfast was average and they don’t have a coffee machine but bring jugs of coffee to the table, bit strange. Alohonso was concierge was super friendly. Didn’t use sauna and steam room as they charge 10€! Overall very happy with stay.

I recently stayed at Grand Hotel Excelsior for Christmas, it was a wonderful experience. The service was impeccable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, making it a very comfortable stay.
That said, there were a couple of minor issues that I feel are worth mentioning. First, while the hotel itself is clearly well-maintained, some of the decor felt a little dated in certain areas. It didn't detract too much from the overall experience, but a bit of modernisation in these spaces could elevate the feel of the hotel even more.
Another small inconvenience occurred when I tried to use the stairs. Although the signs indicated the way, it wasn't entirely clear, and we ended up following a path that felt more like service corridors than guest areas. It was a little confusing and made us feel like we had accidentally ventured "back of house."
The other concern was regarding breakfast. Due to some changes, the breakfast room was moved at short notice, and the new space wasn’t quite as charming as the original one. The breakfast itself was still good, but there was a bit of chaos in terms of the transition, including long wait times.
That said, these were minor hiccups in what was otherwise a fantastic stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would return for another stay, as the positives far outweighed the small inconveniences.

No way is this a 5 star hotel.
The public areas are grand but the whole hotel needs a complete make-over.
Reception, check-in / check-out is a shambles.
Breakfast is rugby scrum.
Waiters / waitresses are absolutely useless.
Pool bar service is non-existent.
The bedroom very tired with a grubby carpet.
Very disappointed and again, no way 5 star.

We had a 5day stay at this hotel.
Staff were very friendly, good location as long as you were able to walk uphill.
Hotel is located on a hillside and if you had walking difficulties it would be awkward
to go out on foot. Outstanding food and spacious interior. Great harbour front location.
Convenient distance from Valetta which is great especially at night with outside bars
and cafes.
The hotel Maltese buffet on Weds night was really good and the chance to try out
Maltese food.
All in all a great holiday at a super hotel.

It was another and certainly not the last visit to the Grand Hotel Excelsior. I like returning there because I know I will be served there at the highest level. The entire staff deserves the highest marks. He is available, polite and always ready to help. I also appreciate the location of the hotel. Its location ensures excellent communication with the rest of the island (a central bus stop nearby) and access to the charms of Valetta and Floriana. Even though the façade, the outdoor swimming pool area and the bathrooms show signs of the passage of time and the need to refresh, I believe this hotel is an excellent place for business and tourist travellers to Malta.
