Michelle Walsh
The staff and location of the Grand Excelsior are they main reason I would recommend this hotel. The staff throughout the hotel are amazing, special mention to Maria who served us at dinner in the Admirals restaurant overlooking the harbour. The location is stunning, the hotel lobby and the areas overlooking the bay are fabulous. However, there is an air of faded grandeur in some areas of the hotel for example, our room was comfortable and well appointed but in need of an update. Would we stay here again ? 100%. The positives far outward the negatives and we look forward to a return visit.

A very nice hotel with very attentive and friendly staff. The 'night time' service where they bring you chocolates before bed was a lovely touch. One member of staff that really stood out to us was Xiying, who we talked to in the little gift shop by reception. She was very friendly and lovely, shared information about how and where the Maltese glass is made. She was very helpful. We felt welcome as soon as we stepped through the front doors, with the smiling staff bringing us welcome drinks. The hotel is huge, very clean everywhere. The rooms could have been a bit bigger as well as the balcony but still very nice and I understand this isn't something that can be changed easily so not too much of a complaint. The private beach was nice however cannot be walked on without shoes, so maybe could fill it with actual sand instead of stones. All round great place great breakfast great service.

Give the 'Spa' a miss. Frosty reception sets the tone for a tired and scruffy venue, from ancient bath robes to blocked shower drains that flood the entire changing area - 'oh, yes that happens a lot' said the staff! Massage staff are only redeeming feature in this place where they appear to have forgotten what it takes to create a warm, relaxing and welcoming space. There are many other spa places in town, we'd recommend you check those out before suffering the 'Grand'. Rest of the hotel looks ok but generally in need of upgrade, think 80s era decor, etc.

We read so many mixed reviews on this Hotel on the Jet2 app. We had a wonderful stay at this Hotel and were not disappointed with anything ,Every member of staff was 1st class, were so welcoming and friendly ,The food was 1st class,The Hotel was spotless and the rooms were huge ,Yes the hotel is not ultra modern but the style of the Hotel is in keeping with the area ,Modern would not be right, We had robes and slippers in the room and water,Fabulous choice at the Buffet. There was a courtesy Mini bus from the Hotel up the to Valetta every half hour and vice versa coming back down.We will definitely be back. Thankyou for a fabulous holiday.

It is a very nice property. View to the harbor and poll are beautiful, and the traditional design of the hotel very impressive. Unfortunately, service is not high quality. We put the sign to clean the room on the door in the morning, and had it cleaned late afternoon. Even simple items were forgotten to be replaced in the room, such as soap, hand towel, etc. Their restaurant menu is not very diverse, some items have very small portions. Breakfast doesn’t reflect a five stars hotel breakfast. There aren’t almonds and other nuts, for example.
