"The host was always very quick to respond to questions/concerns. The home is exactly as described, and it was very clean and comfortable. Our taxi driver from the airport was not able to find the address so he eventually dropped us off at a family member's apartment. The host went out of his way to come pick us up so we would not need to pay for another taxi. Most people would not do that."

"Amazing location with good public transport nearby to explore Malta. The area itself is lovely and historic. The accommodation was well equipped and comfortable but could do with a few kitchen utensils!"

"This place is fantastic! If you're over 5'5 watch your head in the basement lol
The only thing I thought was funny was we were told to be respectful of neighbours and not make noise... (we're super quiet ppl). Every single morning we were woken up by the neighbours! It sounded like they were standing in our room having a full blown conversation. That was beyond irritating. Loudest women I've ever heard at 7am But we survived and would still go back. "

"Turn right as you step out the door and the ocean is a few hundred meters away. Situated in the middle of Sliema, right along the beautiful promenade, this apartment afforded easy access to everything we needed. Restaurants, bus stops, promenade, park, small markets and, most importantly, real Italian Gelato just steps away. The owners were available to answer questions as needed. We asked for a coffeepot and they were happy to provide the pot and coffee. Airport transportation was booked for us...

"An excellent house in a beautiful place and location. Very clean and the views from the roof terrace are amazing, we saw the fireworks from the roof terrace, amazing hosts and such a great base to explore Malta. "

"Lovely one bedroom property with access to the roof – lovely hosts and quiet street.
Heavy rain, while we were staying impacted the bedroom, seeping through the ceiling, so we were obliged to find alternate accommodation for a couple of nights- Notified owner, but no assistance and no alternative provided"

"It’s in a lovely part of Rabat. You can walk right out the door and visit many restaurants, shops, the M’dena, and the more! I loved that my room had a lovely little balcony. The owners/managers of the property were exceptional when it came to communication. I would highly recommend it. Thank you for a wonderful stay! "

"William is available to answer questions quickly. Property is close to tour pickup locations and Sliema Ferries bus route. Easy access to public transport to get around the island. Many local markets and restaurants a short walk away."

"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."
