    would definitely visit it again

    The room was a Deluxe Double Room Full Sea View Terrace, spacious with a nice seating area, flat-screen TV, and minibar. The hotel had a large outdoor pool open till late October and a great spa that provided excellent relaxation options. Breakfast had various fresh options including baked goods and an omelet station with views of the harbor.

    Private marina for waterfront excursions, stunning views of the Grand Harbour, unique themed dinners with cultural cuisine

    The hotel badly needs an upgrade!!! It suffers from inconsistent elevator service, and the layout is confusing with inadequate signage!!! Multiple guests reported issues with room maintenance, leaving a less-than-stellar impression!!!

    Totally recommend for a two-day stay

    Spacious room, excellent breakfast, with a variety of fresh food items to choose from, and friendly staff, especially at the front desk, who were very accommodating during our early arrival.

    delicious breakfast
    spacious room
    attentive staff
    dated amenities
    frustrating internet

    Plus, I scored a room upgrade to a spacious partial sea view, which was a cherry on top. The cheerful and attentive staff made every moment delightful.

    While the hotel has charm, it’s just yearning for a bit of sprucing up, and the frequently reconnecting Wi-Fi had me on edge. Oh, and that hairdryer? A total relic – you'd get more airflow blowing on it with a straw!

    spa experience
    breathtaking views
    family room
    lack of kids' amenities

    We enjoyed our stay at this hotel, especially the spa experience featuring a variety of recreational activities. The views of the Maltese Archipelago were breathtaking, and our family room provided ample space for our large family, including two babies.

    In my wife’s opinion, a kids' play area would have been a great addition.

    I had a lovely stay at Grand Hotel Excelsior. The spacious room offered a great harbor view, perfect for relaxation. I found some maintenance issues that needed attention. The breakfast buffet impressed with its variety, but service felt chaotic at times.

    plumbing noises

    The pools were inviting, making our stay relaxing and enjoyable. The breakfast offered a delightful variety of fresh options, which was a fantastic way to start the day. However, the hotel could certainly benefit from some updates, as the decor felt outdated and the plumbing made odd noises at times.

    A Luxurious Retreat with Stunning Views

    During my family’s four-night stay, I fell in love with the spacious room offering breathtaking harbor views. Breakfast was a delight with a variety of options, including gluten-free selections for my friend. The spa and pool areas provided great relaxation after our city explorations. Highly recommend scheduling a massage!

    Nice place with beautiful views

    We just came back from 6 nights at this place and wow, the views were incredible! Our room had an amazing panorama of the water, and the pool area was nice for relaxing. The breakfast was solid, great choices. Though, the service by the pool was a bit slow, like it took forever to get a drink. Still, we loved the vibe!
