The hotel breakfast is excellent, with a wide variety of food to choose from. The staff are very friendly and helpful. In the evenings, there’s live music in the lobby. There are also many restaurants nearby, and it’s just a short, easy walk to the Sliema Ferry.

The Waterfront Hotel is well located to explore Malta, with good bus and ferry routes nearby. The hotel was clean and tidy and amenities were as described. The ability to use the AquaLuna outdoor pool just across the road was very good. Road noise was sadly evident from our water front facing room. Staff were very professional and helpful. Breakfast buffet was very good with a vast choice available daily. Overall a lovely place to stay.

Completely Faultless

Absolutely incredible, start to finish. Got to hotel 2 hours early. Our room was ready and staff kindly let us check in, after a welcome drink! Everything spotless. Breakfast was tasty with nice selection. Access to pool which was equally clean and a nice place to spend a day or two relaxing. Allowed to use hotel facilities (including pool) after check out whilst waiting to return home. The friendliest and most helpful staff of any hotel I’ve stayed at before. We will be returning next year!

Fabulous hotel, great pool area, breakfast exceptional and staff wonderful. Area around hotel is a little grubby, lots of building work happening although not directly next to hotel. We could see 8 cranes from our balcony! Nevertheless we loved the hotel and would come back Easy walk to everywhere and great transport options. It’s in a really good position to get you everywhere you want to go. The whole is Sliema is under lots of new construction, it will be great when it’s finished !

Lovely hotel

Very lovely stay, good hotel in a convenient location for exploring Malta. Very kind and helpful staff, good housekeeping. Lovely robes and eco friendliness of the hotel. Great view from the partial sea view rooms on the 9th floor. Only thing that let the hotel down was the hairdryer in the room was filthy and the indoor pool was very busy all day! Would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Malta

We loved this hotel: staff were helpful and friendly, breakfast was great, and we loved the outdoor pool. We ate across the hotel at Punto restaurant where we could sit outside with blankets next to the water, and another night did a short walk over the hill behind the hotel to Balluta Bay. For me, the best thing about this hotel was the view: sitting outside on the balcony looking over the water to Valletta. Highly recommended.
