Guest reviews· 8.4/10 (4,668)
The Grand Hotel Excelsior generally receives very positive feedback from guests, who frequently praise its excellent location in Valletta and the stunning views it offers. Many reviewers highlight the helpful and attentive staff as a significant asset, contributing to a fantastic and enjoyable stay. Guests also appreciate the hotel's comfortable rooms and good service, including the on-site pool and coffee house.
However, a recurring theme in the feedback suggests that while the service is commendable and the overall experience is positive, aspects of the hotel appear somewhat "old and tired." This indicates a need for an update or refurbishment to bring the facilities fully in line with guests' expectations for a contemporary luxury experience. Despite this, the hotel's prime location, exceptional views, and dedicated staff continue to make it a highly recommended choice for visitors to Malta.
