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!

Our stay at The Waterfront Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived to the day we left, everything exceeded our expectations. We spent five nights there, and the staff truly made the experience unforgettable warm, attentive, and consistently going above and beyond. The location is incredibly convenient, making it easy to explore the best of Malta. One standout moment was being offered early breakfast before our morning flight a thoughtful gesture that speaks volumes about their hospitality. I’ve already shared my glowing recommendation on the Malta Facebook page, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. If only more hotels held themselves to these impeccable standards!

Excellent stay. We enjoyed our time at the hotel immensely. All the staff were all very polite, professional and helpful and they all deserve high praises. We enjoyed especially eating and drinking at the Cielo rooftop bar, our conversations with the cheerful Mushab at breakfast and relaxing with super views on the bedroom balcony. Thank you to everyone at The Waterfront Hotel!

The Waterfront is situated about halfway along the Sliema bay overlooking Valletta and the Manoel Island. Generally, the hotel is clean and well kept. It’s very convenient for the ferry to Valletta, excursions and local bars. Don’t be fooled by the photos of the pools. The hotel doesn’t have its own pool. Instead they have free entry to a shared ‘pool club’ over the road. This is shared with at least two other hotels and they sell entrance to third parties too. What this leads to is an incredibly cramped and busy pool area with loud dance music blaring all day - not great at all if you fancy a quiet relax looking over the harbour. The indoor pool is very small. The view from the rooftop bar is great, but expect not to be able to use it on several days - they let it out for functions regularly (we had that twice in a four night stay). They’re trying with their ‘green’ credentials - refillable water bottles, messaging etc, but then give you toiletries in lots of little plastic bottles. A bit of an oversight.
