We had a wonderful stay at Waterfront, Sliema! The staff were extremely polite and helpful, the rooms were clean and spacious and facilities were excellent. Julian, who works around the pool, was particularly helpful and attentive. We also really enjoyed the 1Olive rooftop restaurant. I would highly recommend this hotel!

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly, professional and always eager to help. The room was spotlessly clean and the view of the harbour from our balcony was absolutely stunning. A big plus was the complimentary access to the pool area and sun loungers just across the street, which made our stay even more relaxing. The rooftop bar offers breathtaking views and is the perfect place to enjoy a drink while the sun goes down. We highly recommend both this hotel and Malta as a travel destination. We would happily stay here again!

The Waterfront went above and beyond our expectations! I stayed with my friend in one of the side sea view rooms. We were really pleased with the size of the room and balcony view out to Valletta. Breakfast was excellent, really liked the omelette order option, plenty of fruit and the fresh orange juice. It was my friends birthday during our stay and staff brought up a chocolate tart to our room which was a lovely touch. Great to have the wristbands for the pool across road, it gets jammed during weekends but we always found sunbeds. There was an indoor spa and gym which we saw but didnt use. A shower is available post check out to go to the airport refreshed. Loved the rooftop bar for drinks with an amazing view, we didnt eat at the upstairs restaurant but heard good things from guests who did, saying it was excellent value. Overall, wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel, exceptional service, well located and everything you would need for a great restful stay!

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.

"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!"
