It was mostly ok until our toilet cistern broke and we had to use the waste paper bin to flush as the defect happen to break early hours of the morning. Not quite the experience you hope for from such a prestigious establishment. We did report it but it was met with lack of concern or interest unfortunately. Standards have most certainly dropped. The bar area and service on Saturday night was chaotic and messy too....

Beautiful Hotel. High standards. Amazing location. Loved the access to the sea (just past the pool in photo). Safe swimming area. Friendly/ helpful staff. Outdoor Summer experience was great. Also super well positioned with only a short trip into Valletta. Spectacular views across to Sliema. Would love to come back

We have often stayed here, on this occasion paid for full sea view which is highly recommended. As others have commented, perhaps not ideal for those with mobility issues but fair play to hotel which now runs a shuttle service to and from Valletta City Gate at no charge. Acres of space and will certainly visit again. Having tried a couple of other hotels, over the years, as an experiment, I now know that we will always use Grand Excelsior. The building itself is not a thing of beauty but it’s well worth seeing past that.

The hotel is very stylish and traditional in terms of furnishings with quite an opulent feel. Public areas are spotless and comfortable places and there are plenty of toilets in the bars and restaurants.
We found the breakfast buffet to be outstanding with something to suit all tastes. We had two of the themed buffet dinners in the evening and both were excellent.
The pool area has plenty of sun beds and a very nice view of the marina/harbour. After a sticky day of of sight seeing it was lovely to enjoy sunset with a cocktail.
The hotel is ideally located for the city itself just a 5 minute walk to the centre and 20 mins from the airport.
We would have liked the option of a late check out due to having a late evening flight but we used the pool area and changed for the journey in the pool shower room.

This is NOT a 5-star hotel, would give it 3 1/2 stars. The hotel is old a serious renovation would be desired. The front desk is not familiar with VIP benefits despite this hotel claims to be VIP property- I had to ask multiple times reception to get my welcome bottle of wine & room upgrade since I am VIP gold member.
Hotel llocation is great to explore old Valeta and free hotel shuttle is very convenient. The most value of this hotel is private beach with sea access, because most properties in the area have NO sea access

I liked this hotel a lot. Its a bit old, I had single beds which I didn't order but the hotel is lovely and in a great location.
I did not tell them it was my birthday and yet a cake & bottle of wine turned up which I was not expecting.
They must have triggered that from my passport I guess?
I will stay here again for sure

Very nice hotel with beautiful location. Beach is small but not crowded unlike the rest of Malta’s beaches.
Rooms are specious with nice, big balcony.
All together I would recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to stay close to Valleta old town.

Excellent place to stay. Very central location. Hotel was classy and stylish, and friendly people working there. Best thing was the roof top bar! Very modern nice bar with a great view over the city. The breakfast was also served there. Only negative thing; the beds were so hard! We woke up tired. Remember to ask the hotel for an extra mattress...

Grand property but is aging and needs furniture uplift. As this hotel was walkable to Valletta, this option offered us a much more cheaper eating option. The hotel provided good restaurants and options but was pricy. The staff was courteous and excellent. The Pool (indoor and outdoor) was in excellent. The location was great.

Lovely old world class with charm and great service in a dramatic location on the water’s edge in the historic center of Valletta. Great pool and private beach. Easy walks to tourist highlights and ferries.

Great hotel and pool. Excellent friendly and helpful staff.
The food is good but restaurants could do with a children's menu which is available on room service but not in the restaurant, which is odd
Quite a steep hill to get up with lots of steps to get to Valetta, so be aware of this. But the staff are always willing to arrange a taxi and there are complimentary cars twice a day.
Overall a great place to stay

Overall the property is nice, the pool and beach area are unique for the location. The cost does not necessarily match the service, and the buffet dining is mediocre.
