Standards at five star hotels are by definition nigher than elsewhere. Everything has to be right. So how did this hotel rate? A cold January, single night stay is perhaps not long enough for a view. But some comments. Room: partial sea view meant the balcony looked directly,, about 10 metres.. onto the impressive fortress walls and at 90degrees gave... More

A great hotel in a superb location. Superb views over Valletta harbour. Well appointed rooms, excellent restaurant and good Gym! Recommended. More

The location close to the centre but near the water is great, It ook me 10 minutes to walk into the middle of Valetta. My room was on the 5th floor, 502 and faced the sea with a lovely balcony. The restaurant was good, food was excellent and service was good. I went for a treatment in the spa and... More

We went to The Grand Hotel Excelsior in August, a private taxi picked us up from the airport with a very friendly driver.

My husband does business anually in Malta and always stays at the Grand Excelsior. In May 2011 I went along too and was not dissapointed.

The room was very large with a good size balcony and all clean. Special no, more typical of a Marriott style room but not bad. Breakfast was an... More

Grand Hotel Excelsior is located near the main bus station. The room where I lived was equipped with air conditioning and LCD TV. It was spacious and nicely decorated. Wi-Fi in the room was free, but a wired internet have to pay. The hotel offers beautiful views of Manoel island and harbor Marsamxett. Hotel features a sauna, a wellness center,... More

Superb in every way! The food was magnificent. The buffet dinner had an amazing range of dishes and choices. The service was excellent. The rooms were lovely. The facilities, the pool, the position - all first class. You can swim in the actual harbour from the pool and patio area. It was a hotel that was hard to leave. More
