I can't recommend this hotel at all. Even when it was time to check in, they insisted that we wait because they were going to check the room for cleaning. I was the only one who was made to wait while other people were checking in one after the other. They continued to ignore me and treated me badly. They didn't even apologize for making me wait. In the end, I was given a room where the toilet wouldn't flush! Is this a 5-star hotel? The amenities had 5 stars printed on them, and I laughed every time I saw them. The hotel is located in a location where you can walk to Valletta, but there are more than 60 steps, and then you have to walk up a slope. Elderly people have to hold onto the handrail to go up and down the stairs, which looked like a lot of work. It was so different from other 5-star hotels in Malta that I regretted why I booked here.

A huge and grand hotel, with very old fashioned furniture which I’m not a big fan of but was manageable for a night as the actual hotel, facilities and location are amazing! A beautiful indoor pool, amazing outdoor pool with breathtaking views of the sea, and gorgeous Tiki huts, for chilling out during warm nights. Breakfast was average and they don’t have a coffee machine but bring jugs of coffee to the table, bit strange. Alohonso was concierge was super friendly. Didn’t use sauna and steam room as they charge 10€! Overall very happy with stay.

Very convenient location, just outside of historic Valletta, 5 minutes walk. Large but well-organized and very elegant structure. Very wide choice for breakfast. Impeccable service.

I recently stayed at Grand Hotel Excelsior for Christmas, it was a wonderful experience. The service was impeccable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, making it a very comfortable stay.
That said, there were a couple of minor issues that I feel are worth mentioning. First, while the hotel itself is clearly well-maintained, some of the decor felt a little dated in certain areas. It didn't detract too much from the overall experience, but a bit of modernisation in these spaces could elevate the feel of the hotel even more.
Another small inconvenience occurred when I tried to use the stairs. Although the signs indicated the way, it wasn't entirely clear, and we ended up following a path that felt more like service corridors than guest areas. It was a little confusing and made us feel like we had accidentally ventured "back of house."
The other concern was regarding breakfast. Due to some changes, the breakfast room was moved at short notice, and the new space wasn’t quite as charming as the original one. The breakfast itself was still good, but there was a bit of chaos in terms of the transition, including long wait times.
That said, these were minor hiccups in what was otherwise a fantastic stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would return for another stay, as the positives far outweighed the small inconveniences.
