"I had a fantastic stay at the Waterfront Hotel. The highlight was definitely the balcony view of the Valletta skyline—it’s even better in person. The hotel is perfectly situated right on the promenade, making it easy to catch the ferry or explore Sliema’s shops and cafes. The room was clean, modern, and very comfortable. I’ll definitely be back!"

Excellent hotel with attentive staff. My room was by far the biggest I have stayed in. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Cleanliness was very good and I never heard any outside noise, so we'll insulated. I cannot fault this wonderful place.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay at The Waterfront. The hotel itself is clean, modern and has good facilities. There is an inside pool, jacuzzi and gym on the 10th floor as well as rooftop bar and an outside terrace which opens in the summer months. I have to say what makes it special is the staff that work here, they go out of their way to make you feel valued and welcome. Breakfast was great, with a huge choice of hot and cold options available. Special mention to Olena at breakfast who always made a point of saying hello and asking how we were getting on during our stay. It was my 50th birthday celebrations and they allocated us a nicer room and had decorated it before our arrival. The other added bonus is access to the Aqua Luna outside pool over the road. This is also a nice place to relax and chill which charges non Waterfront guests 30 euros per day to use, so it’s a useful perk to staying here. I highly recommend staying here it really is a superb place to stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Overall it’s a lovely hotel, clean, pool area is great, bedding is good quality, breakfast is excellent. My only problem on check in was I was given a room on floor 3 which is the restaurant in the evening and breakfast in the morning. The whole floor stank of food. The room was also opposite the lifts which added noise to the experience. I was moved, but just make sure you don’t accept a room on floor 3. My review would be very different if I’d not been moved

A lovely stay in a brilliant hotel - staff couldn’t have been friendlier and as a location it was perfect for a holiday. Plenty of eating options in Sliema but hotel food was equally nice and breakfast was excellent too. Would highly recommend and if we come back to Malta we’ll be coming here!
