"Grand Hotel Excelsior is beautiful, elegant hotel not far (5 min walk) from Valletta's City Gate entrance by the Triton Fountain. The location by the water of the bay offers amazing views by day or night. The extra attention by all of the staff was very appreciated as it wasn't overpowering but discreet and gracious. Breakfast is just perfect. Everything is there but I would recommend trying some of the island specialities like Pastizzi and their typical cheese. All in all we had a very...

Standard Double or Twin Room, Harbour View

"We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and it was good for our 3 nights. The room was small but comfortable. For older, less able, folks it was a steep walk up to the main streets of Valletta. The best features of the hotel were a good breakfast (included) and the amazing view from the roof-top balcony."

"Excellent place to stay. Outstanding location. The staff were amazing and so professional. Foyer is lovely and breakfast was also nice. The bathroom needs some renovations though and is my only criticism. "

"Everything was perfect for our stay. From check-in to breakfast to housekeeping, the staff were friendly and efficient. The spaciousness of our room, the amenities, and the good beds were very welcome. The buffet breakfast was vast, delicious, and unexpected. The rooftop pool was chilly, but it was delightful to sit in the sun up there. A small, but well-appointed gym was useful. Great location with many dining and shopping options nearby. If we return to Malta, this hotel will be our first...

Junior Suite, Balcony (Double or Twin) | Balcony

"Smart hotel in a great location right in the middle of Valletta. Large room and nice breakfast. Unfortunately, our room (101), was right next to the cleaners closet so we were wakened every morning. Room could have done with a comfortable chair. Also, television is restricted to a few Austrian and German channels, not even anything local. The hotel has no outside space, it would have been nice to have somewhere to sit and enjoy the sunshine. Having said all that, we really enjoyed our stay."

"The hotel is close to Valletta centre, ferries and bus station. It’s a decent hotel but our room had an internal view so it was dark and the hotel flooring transmits sound very efficiently. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was bountiful but varied in quality. "

5/5 Excellent

"Hotel is clean, tidy, and conveniently located, with relatively easy transport links to a lot of the island, or the Valetta transport hub which can reach the areas not covered by the buses going from or through Silema. If I had any niggle it would be the shower design, practically guaranteed to get water all over the bathroom floor, but that was a minor issue."

5/5 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at the Westin Dragonara. The property is beautiful, very clean and well-kept. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I ordered room service twice - the food arrived in good time, was tasty and a good portion size. The staff collected the dishes after I was done. Check-in and check-out were smooth and the staff were keen to help however they could. I can’t think of anything to suggest to make it better. Thank you for a lovely time. "
