This is meant to be a 5* hotel. I would say there were elements of 5*, 4* and 3*. The staff were the best thing about the hotel - they really tried hard to make up for the dated nature of the property . The room was nice - had all that you would expect and lovely views of the bay. However, it was a bit rough around the edges but I expected that after reading the reviews. I was happy overall as I paid what I considered to be a fair price. Would I stay again - yes but it wouldn’t be my first choice . I stayed in March when a lot of the other boutique hotels are closed.

We found the Excelsior to be ideally located near the entrance to Valletta, with a welcoming and most accommodating staff. From the moment we walked through the front door, we could tell we were going to have a wonderful stay, from the grand stairway, lobby bar, buffet restaurant and dining room, to our room. We arrived early on a flight from Sicily and asked if we could check our bags. Instead, they found a room for us and we were in our room before 10 AM. We need taxi service to various places we wanted to visit on the island and all was taken care of with a request at the conciere desk. We plan to return next year. Malta is wonderful and the Excelsior enhanced our stay appreciably.

The positive first:Extremely nice staff and ideal location. How this hotel can be rated a 5 star hotel is beyond me! Even though we tried two different rooms, the experience was the same: Very outdated rooms! Moldy smell from the anything but clean carpet. Bathroom tiles cracked everywhere and mold in the shower. The rooms were - best case - a 3 star rating worthy. I have to stress that the room maids were the sweetest and best ever, and that the staff in general did a good job. But having paid for a 5 star hotel, our disappointment cannot be hidden. Our first and last visit to this hotel.

Lovely location and nice room with great view. Shower was not good - v difficult to get temperature correct and badly positioned so hard to get under the shower head! Air con was feeble. Pool is lovely but beach is v scruffy not nice (and I changed since our last visit two years ago. Unfortunately a member of staff spilt a whole tray of drinks, including red wine (not even ours!) on my wife which was shocking and resulted in two days of trying get our clothes cleaned. They didn't even offer us a free drink let alone a discount on the final bill. Not sure we'll be back.

Indoor pool was nicely heated, so can be used in winter too, when outside pool is too cold. Smallish, but well-equipped gym. Nice breakfast buffet. WiFi throughout, but ideally it needs upgrading, as it's too slow for uploading large files. But OK for basic use. Decor is quite dated now, but has charm I think! Great water pressure, so shower was glorious! Staff are really nice & make me feel welcome. Rooms are good value out of season. I would definitely come back here!
