City Centre
Rather dark corridors and dated appearance. Luxurious space and good location to walk (uphill) to Valetta but that was it. Other 5 star hotels offer nicer surroundings and better breakfasts. Reasonable rates make it a cheaper alternative to Phoenicia a short distance away.

A wonderful stay at the Grand Hotel Excelsior
We have been several times to this hotel and, as always, we were not disappointed. The staff is as courteous as always, the room is large, airy, and super clean, and the breakfast really good....in short, it was a perfect stay which made our Christmas even better.

Excellent value for money.
Excellent location, friendly staff and good value for money. In its heyday this must have been a great hotel, but it is now a little tired and in need of a facelift. I would stay here again.
