I have been to Malta several times over the years. This was the best hotel so far. Good room (702, sea side) , nice oriental style, good service and restaurant. Nice oriental athmosphere. Only the coffee at breakfast was not fit for consumption, so I had tea. Due to time of the year I had no chance to visit pool,... More

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

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 hotel has wonderful views which is lovely to look at while dining. The chamber staff are really friendly as are the reception staff. The hotel is situated within walking distance of the town centre.... More

I would not say that that it was a 5-stars hotel. I cannot even say what I liked about the hotel and what has dissapointed me. The room looked outdated, there was a strange smell in the corridors all the time, location is not perfect for discovering of Valletta and Malta - even taking into account that Valletta is rather...

The Excelsior Hotel was a nice hotel although in our view an extremely large style corporate hotel. The service was extremely good from the information received at the Concierge and Reception desks. 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

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
