It is a well run 5 star hotel, close to the town convenient with good staff. Bad is for a 5 star hotel, that when you use of the sauna 15,00 Euro pay must. I in a 5 star hotel never experienced. Negative was also, that the exit at 4:00 o'clock coffee but no lunch pack made available was, although the breakfast for the day was. read more

The Excelsior Grand Hotel Malta is located in Valetta on foot of the center. It has more than 400 rooms, several restaurants, a lobby bar/cafe with a magnificent view of the harbor, a spa with hairdresser, fitness centre, and indoor and outdoor pools (with sun terrace). The hotel was in public areas on the first glance spotlessly clean. The types of people are both from the age, as well as from the nationalities mixed. There are also conference rooms and a buisinesscenter (fee). The hotel offers a individual airport shuttle for cheap prices at. Since it is a city, there ... is no garden. read more

    Our assigned room was very spacious and fully equipped with comfortable double bed, bedside tables, a desk with armchair and chair, cupboard with flat screen tv (a few german channels, pay tv) and balcony with balkonstühlen. There was an airco, minibar, safe (in the price) and coffee/tea making facilities. The spacious bathroom was fully equipped, clean and everything worked immaculately. The furniture in the room showed hardly any wear and tear, the carpet unfortunately not could claim. This was very stained. Also seemed the room rather superficially cleaned, if also not visibly dirty. Our feeling told us : for one night it goes. A shame, because otherwise it would be also because of the great views -6 stars defendendo.

    I had only booked accomodation and breakfast. There we early from the hotel had (because of the flugtermins ), we were in fact at 6:30 o'clock the first guests for breakfast. It was already the complete package available. This was, but 4 star hotels was. The special of a 5 star hotel but it was not to be recognized. Overall you had to - like usually in the mediterranean-the bread/cold cuts/cheeses make. In particular, the white bread was not our central european expectations. Also the scrambled eggs did not convince. We have coffee and cake in the lobby bar consumed. The quality here was convincing, the service friendly, the prices but quite high. About the cleaning and the hygiene was in two cases nothing to complain about.

    Of us taken into account service was nothing to complain about. Check-in and check-out was non-actionable. The buisinesscenter led the on-line check into for the return flight through. The print of boarding passes was but you have to pay. There is a laundry service, and 24-hour room service, which we but we didn't make use of it have.

    The Excelsior Grand Hotel Malta -as mentioned above-on foot of the center, the only few minutes on foot away (as well as the bus station). The way to it but clearly uphill. The airport is with the taxi in 20-30 minutes. In the old town there was then shops and restaurants, bars and cafes in abundance. Interesting is however the historic old town of lots of old buildings and churches. Depending on where your room is, traffic noise audible. Our room was very clean and had a great view of the port.

  • Gastronomy

    For breakfast mostly wide selection of cold & hot food. I believe, it is really everything there. Furthermore you could omelet, fried egg & pancakes freshly prepared. At the quality of the food there is nothing to complain about & it is also everything again and again filled up to at the end. The breakfast room is very clean & one looks on pool & bay. In August it was however this time very crowded for breakfast. As it was last year in July already pleasant. The dinner buffet we once looked at. There were theme evenings with the matching, really very large buffet in addition, but unfortunately it appears that it is only a few people to book. I think, during the next visit we will try this.

    The staff are without exception very friendly & concerned. Communication in English is easy. Room was every day reliably cleaned, on some days was missing the gesichtswaschlappen, however at early evening a second time the room service past, to ask, whether something is needed. Very nice attentions are the cold towels & the cold drinks at check in at the front desk, if one of the prior a bit sweated is, as well as every evening a small piece chocolate on the pillows.

    Location right at the waterfront with in-house stairs to the mediterranean sea. In 5 minutes walk the road up you're at the bus station Valetta, where one also nearly already in the center of Valetta is, as the shopping street begins there & also cafes& restaurants are there represented. From the bus station can be reached on direct connection the airport (30 minutes-ticket to 2,20 Euro; day ticket was I think 2,80 Euro)

    The breakfast room is very big with wonderful views of pool/ port. As we had after 0900 o'clock had breakfast, there were only a few guests since. The choice is very big and of good quality.

    the location we really liked. the hotel has a generous pool area (despite water shortages) and is directly at a fjord. 100 steps above the hotel is La Valletta, the historic old town with all conceivable options for shopping, except supermarkets. The bus station is located in front of the gate to La Valletta, around 10 minutes away on foot, depending on fitness. The bus service is very stringent, so it is easy to cheapest tariffs the whole island visit. the buses are new, the ticket in bus be resolved.

We enjoyed our vacation well. The weather was end of September still very good-there was no rain and 25 degrees always. The location of the hotel in Valletta is great. Much nicer it may not. Direct location on the ocean with a view of the harbor. Very quiet and close to the bus station. In Valletta very to get used to, the differences are. The front desk and therefore the reception area is on the sixth but you have to climb up 90 steps and go still further up the road, so that you arrive at the bus station. The ... elevation changes and some upward gradients are hefty price. But the hotel nothing for. Without English you could get around the hotel-but also in the rest of Malta not very far. The German tourists is in the absolute minority. The pool was excellent at the breakfast for example, where a British probably felt as a German. For a week the breakfast is however good-then it was enough though. Change does not appear to be announced. Also we had at the check-in for each day on credit card 50 euros deposit-but I think not a problem for us. Is not recorded. And someone, (financial) the real problems with the reservation of 350 Euro, it makes sense for hotel View. One can eat and drink on the room write-and as can easily come together. But we were very happy with the hotel and with the election of Valletta and can recommend this hotel without hesitation. read more

At check-in only a very short statement of the hotel.

5 star? Certainly not!

Unfortunately, the five stars in my opinion not justified. In addition to a mediocre breakfast at a rather uncomfortable we were allocated table (, although the window tables were 2/3), in which one of the plate was pulled away, while we were still eating, it was primarily the bathroom bone of contention. The water in the shower didn't drain, the wash basin also. The summit was the toilet: the flush used, appeared in the toilet bowl to brown particles, which is undoubtedly remains of the faeces were other guests! If we go back to Malta travel, we'll definitely stay at ... this hotel are not. read more

We felt very comfortable. The service worked for us excellent. We had booked two rooms, everything was to our satisfaction, although only economy and view to the old, but beautifully lit walls and a view of the harbor. Sure, the water pressure of the rinsing box left a lot to be desired, but one is in Malta. You can start with the evaluation of the hotel no German standards. If you are looking at will and error, will always find something. We wanted to relax and explore the country only. The food for breakfast was varied. The view from which ... the table from breathtaking view of the harbor and Sliema. The Tiki bar in the outdoor area invited to relax at the end of the night with a tasty affordable snacks and drinks with a romantic view of Sliema. 50 €deposit the per night we only had to pay for a room, but we were able to move cash in the hotel. We found this only marginal, but it was extremely convenient. At che read more

Our stay at the Excelsior in Valetta was great, except for one thing. The breakfast buffet is (you will be on the table) there was a line of 15 people ten, (the fits into a five-star hotel didn't) the reason one person after the room number and the same person has to the table dressed in, it's not, so great are then two more people must be turned off, to accompany a table. Everything else was great. read more

Ok, but from our point of view not five stars
  • Hotel not recommended

The hotel is definitely one of the malta better. You must not five stars expect from a German perspective. Then you'll be disappointed. We kindly received an upgrade to a room with a balcony. The room was ok. But I have another proportion to cleanliness. In the bathroom there were signs of the previous guests and mold and, with a little more effort the restaurant had to be made. The carpet in the room was not able to walk barefoot. There were many dark stains on it. The bed was ok. The air conditioning only limited cooling and is rather ... a Luftaustauscher. The competence of the staff in their 'alex' (German concierge) bit of his work loved it. We have nowhere a genuine smile received. The prices for room service and food are ok. An ice (magnum, flood stay etc.) costs five euros. As the ice cream not really fun. The breakfast is ok. Sausage and cheese were always different than at home. But ok. There were omelets and a large selection of yogurt, fruit, bread rolls. The beach is a joke. Two rows of beach chairs and is right outside the harbor tour boats. I do not like it Sunday. And the entrance goes over the rocks. A trip with a sailboat we have finished early. The boat was very swung and I had hard together over the rail travel to go. The food and drinks on board was also not exhilarating. The return journey we got with a speedboat (20 euro) and took the bus. The bus cost 1.16 euro. Overall, the trip of 50 euro per person is really cheap. So if you want to the blue lagoon to comino, which should rather (1 hour) bus ride and then take the ferry or the speedboat situation. It is cheaper and much better. And you get to see something from the country. Churches and stones if (historical building) may, which certainly like malta. Otherwise it will probably not be my Lieblingsland. Tip: but what then we loved it. We have found (unfortunately only on the last night) a great restaurant. In the south Streat, directly if you walk the old city gate is left. It is brightly and friendly and advertises with the best food of malta. We had garlic toast, homemade ravioli and the pasta of the day. Everything was great and the rates are very good! We have found that earlier, we would certainly be going every day. The selection of the food and the service were simply great! read more

In any case recommendable for people, the make your own fun can and cannot be played or go on holiday to complain about things, not, for example, varied food, or a lack of beach chairs (on request immediately!

So all in all: a wonderful holiday with lots of relaxation, excellent service and a very nice, luxurious hotel, the less suitable for children. read more

A very pleasant hotel with all comfort. Only waiting in line at the Place for breakfast we did not like and would not require. There is so much space available. In the old city could be reached in five minutes and the view from the balcony over the pool and harbor is great. The rooms very large and comfortable, the bathroom with rain shower and tub. We would again at any time go. read more
