Historic Hotels in Malta

"Nice hotel, great location, very welcoming staff. Worth noting that some rooms only have a bath tub, no shower - and our tub had a large stain which was a bit off putting. Our towels weren’t changed at all for the first few days of our stay, and there wasn’t much room to hang them to dry - but then they were changed daily on the last couple of days of the stay so perhaps they were just overlooked on the previous days. The built in hairdryer in our room was broken, so they gave us a spare -...

"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...

"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."

"Visited at New Year, was busier than usual outside the hotel due to the Christmas market and fair, but inside was still lovely and peaceful. Staff were efficient and friendly, the facilities were excellent and the food was fantastic. This was our second visit and we will go again. "

"A beautiful hotel in a convenient location just inside Mdina walls, the Xara Palace has the highest quality you would expect at a Relais et Châteaux property. The staff is superb and everyone went out of their way to make sure all of our needs were fulfilled. Not to be missed is dinner at the hotel’s de Mondian restaurant! "

"Staff were nice and eager to help. Location excellent. Room clean and it seems newly refurbished "

"Breakfast was great. Nice view of the bay."

"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...
