"A disappointing apartment, certainly not worth over £110 per night. Very basic with unattractive furnishing. The advertised 'parking on site' is only 1 space for 2 apartments and was not available on our arrival - this should be made clear in the listing. There are cameras on the balcony and hot tub so we did not use either as it was so intrusive. When we arrived the bedsheets and towels smelt awful, they came to change but hardly any better. The air conditioning smelt bad and we had to sleep...

"The apartment was divided into two spaces on separate floors. The 2nd floor space was a bedroom and bath, it was very moldy smelling with no windows. My daughter slept on the sofa in our space because it was so musty. There was a fan that just blew the musty air around. The apartment is in a great location."

"A good place to spend the evening. Close to a grocery store car park. Lovely hosts and a nice place to have a lie down with countless daytime activities in the 3 Cities and Valletta."

"Pierre was very accommodating. Let us drop our bags off early and then leave them after we checked out and had several hours before our flight. The place was great, perfect for 2 people, in a great location."

"Amazing location right next to Sliema Ferry station with a breathtaking view of Valletta. The apartment was well-equipped, modern, clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and bars nearby. We got access to an outdoor pool at Manta Beach Club just across the street, which was also quite nice, even though we could not use it due to the weather. I would definitely recommend this place and would return any time."

"Wonderful little apartment to have as home base for our trip to Malta! The host was super quick to respond and lovely to coordinate with for our stay. The apartment has historic charm and fun eclectic decor - cosy and well equipped - and near great restaurants, coffee shops, convenience stores and transit. "

"Overall it was a nice property. The rooftop pool was enjoyable, the breakfast buffet had plenty of variety and the room was nice - however even though we booked a room with a view, the view was very limited. Also we made an error and booked 3 nights rather than 2. The property did not give us a refund and were not even flexible w us for even a credit for the spa or restaurant so that was disappointing."
"Great location if you want to be close to Gozo and Comino Ferry while also being next to the less rocky beaches of Malt. The Public Transport near this hotel was also very reliable and useful to get around while food was all next to the location. The pools were very clean and nice and the amenities were awesome. Staff definitely made you feel VIP the entire time."
"The hotel itself is tired but the staff are amazing and really helpful. We opted for half board which was outstanding. Gluten free diet catered for perfectly. Bbq on the roof was an amazing experience, great views and outstanding food. It’s a lovely picturesque spot too. Pool is gorgeous. A really lovely hotel.
The car park under the hotel is errrr interesting, bit like a rollercoaster ride"
"Highly recommend this resort!!! Very friendly and helpful staff, easy access to several amazing restaurants onsite (we especially liked Sole,
the outdoor grill Tavern place, and the Italian restaurant). Breakfast buffet had a large variety of choices…can dine inside or out. Nice swimming area in the Mediterranean with drink and food service at the lawn chairs. Very quiet at night in the rooms but also close enough to walk down to the nightlife. Room was spacious and thoroughly cleaned each day with turndown service. The executive lounge with balconies was very well stocked with snacks and drinks. Ample covered parking. The only suggestions for improvement I can think of would be to have a separate beach towel station poolside rather than guests needing to walk inside over the bridge to get them, and to add more room outlets by the bed/desk. Would definitely stay here again. Overall 10/10 experience."
"The hotel was excellent for location and amenities. The beach club was great for bathing and access for sea swimming. The roof top pool is worth a visit so book a sunbed as soon as you arrive. The bar was very good and staff great at drink making at both the hotel and beach club. Check in was speedy and staff on the desk were friendly and helpful.
The negatives were the size of room so not a lot of room for clothes storage or cases and the awkward design of the bathroom, which made it so difficult to access.
The app was useful but a little confusing in some parts, the recommendations locally for restaurants and trips were very good.
Location of the hotel is good for the ferry and a shopping complex is 10 mins walk away."
"Our stay was very pleasant.
Big thanks to Katerina and whole team - they were all very kind, helpful, professional and friendly!
We were satisfied with the cleanliness of the room and the functionality of all the amenities.
Rooms are spacious and very well maintained as the entire hotel.
Breakfast is excellent with so many options.
The gym and pools are clean with a pleasant water temperature.
The beach is very near and is free for hotel guests.
Across the street is a Spar market with all necessities.
Our strong recommendation for this hotel!"
"I would rate this hotel 4 out of 5 stars.
The Grand Hotel Excelsior offers everything you would expect from a five-star resort: indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a well-equipped fitness center, multiple restaurants and bars, and excellent amenities. The hotel is also spotless, very well maintained, and the staff is genuinely attentive and welcoming.
That said, the property feels frozen in the early 2010s and is due for a major renovation. The exterior showed significant peeling paint in several areas, some of the furniture was noticeably worn, and there were no power outlets near the beds, making it inconvenient to charge phones and other devices overnight. The lack of USB charging ports—other than on the television—was also disappointing for a hotel of this category.
Despite these shortcomings, the atmosphere and service made for a pleasant stay. I especially enjoyed the souvenir shop and appreciated that the hotel has a renowned pastry chef, which was reflected in the quality of the desserts. With some modernization, this hotel could once again fully live up to its five-star rating."
