"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...

"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."

"The studio flat was spacious and comfortable for one person. Disappointing there was no balcony. There was noise from 6am every morning from building work on the new pier opposite the hotel. Lift out of action a couple of times, not good when I was on the 11th floor. Good communication from the property managers."

"Amazing location, worth booking if you‘re going to be out all day. The place was ok, but old furniture, almost no cups, not so clean. Would still book it again because of location, however wouldn‘t recommend for families with kids. "

"We had great days at this apartment. The amenities were great. From the veranda the view was not bad. We disappointed about one thing. There was a big under construction around an apartment. "

"Malta leverte, men det gjorde ikke leiligheten. Vi fikk ikke stor uteveranda slik man fikk inntrykk av på bildene. Det var kun kaldt vann i dusjen alle dager, og når jeg sendte henvendelse til kontaktperson så fikk jeg ingen svar tilbake. Dessuten var det iskaldt i leiligheten. Reis gjerne til Malta, men bo på helt annen leilighet/hotell. "

"I requested that a welcome and acknowledgement of my friends 50th birthday be put in her room and the hotel delivered. She was delighted and I really appreciated this extra touch"
"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."
"Overall the hotel was great. Its in an excellent location with beautiful surroundings. The hotel is clean, air-con great and restaurants and bar excellent. We particularly liked thee rooftop restaurant. The hotel's layout is a little difficult to navigate at first, but with a bit of trial & error you get use to it. The main negative for me was the quality of the Wifi which i found to be quite poor - this is quite a surprise given how good everything else is, but i kept having to switch to my phone data as the wifi was either too slow or kept cutting out, this for me was disappointment"
