The rooms were spacious and great views of the harbor. Also, the staff was amazing from the front desk, restaurant to housekeeping. Will definitely stay here again when back in Malta.

We spent 5 nights at the Hotel and had a great time. The staff were all very attentive and friendly. Breakfast was really busy everyday, with a vast, self service selection of pretty much everything you'd want at breakfast. We did not use the restaurant whilst staying since there, not for any other reason that we went out for diner everynight. The rooftop bar was a great place to relax and chill out, with wonderful views across the bay to Valetta, especially wonderful after dark with the glinting lights of Valetta.
We were on the 7th floor, which meant we did not hear much from the busy, bustling downtown street below. Finding restaurants of our preference was a challenge, since most of them along the main waterfront road were Burger chips and Pizzas, 2 for 1 cocktails and loud music. Not really our scene. You need to book the good restaurants in advance.

We had an enjoyable stay at this hotel . We had a room with a side view, and it was spacious and comfortable, and the view was amazing. The staff were helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. A special thank you to Rikta, Anu, and Suhan for their kindness and excellent service. We also really enjoyed the breakfast, and the rooftop restaurant was another highlight, as well as the pool, where we had a lovely time relaxing. We have very good memories of our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable experience !

We had such a wonderful experience at the Waterfront Hotel in Malta that I wanted to take the time to write a proper review from the heart. The hotel really has everything you could want. There is a beautiful outdoor pool area where you can relax in the sun and swim, as well as an indoor pool, a Jacuzzi and a sauna. The gym is also very nice, practical and well equipped for a hotel workout. They even provide a complimentary beach service, including transportation to and from the beach in a comfortable, air-conditioned shuttle with high ceilings and a very polite driver. Towels and beach mats are also supplied free of charge. These extra touches show how much the hotel goes out of its way to make sure its guests are completely satisfied. The breakfast deserves a special mention. The restaurant has plenty of choices for everyone, and everything we tried was excellent. The coffee is freshly prepared by their barista and is truly very good. It is also rare to find freshly pressed 100% juice at a hotel, along with such a good selection of fresh fruit to start your morning. All the breakfast staff were amazing—there are simply too many of them to mention individually. Most importantly, I want to thank the entire staff for their fantastic service and for always being so polite, welcoming and genuinely happy. The staff plays just as important a role as the hotel itself, and they are what make this feel like a six-star experience rather than only five stars. A special thank-you to Julia at the front desk and all her colleagues, who were always helpful and welcoming. Thank you also to Roula, our morning maid, for her amazing smile and the warm welcome she gave us every day. Finally, a very special shout-out to Alexandra from Tours and Activities. She was absolutely amazing—a beautiful person inside and out—and someone we connected with deeply. She made our experience even more memorable. The Waterfront Hotel is definitely a must-stay when visiting this area of Malta. I

Excellent staff and location. Nice touches like 2 for 1 vouchers in the stunning rooftop cocktail bar, complimentary access to the beach club across the road and a free but to the Golden beach. Spa and indoor pool is very nice too for a break from hot temperatures in peak season

Excellent location, very friendly and service-minded staff (Suhail the barista made excellent espresso and cappuccino in the morning, and Zohaib in the reception was always attentive and helpful), great breakfast with a lot of choice beyond English breakfast fare, very fresh, clean facility overall. We stayed in a suite with a waterfront view - fantastic panorama of Valetta, spacious, comfortable sitting area, two balconies, big bathroom, comfortable bed and pillows (the other two regular rooms for our family members were very good too) . Wonderful problem-free experience. One can book sightseeing tours in the reception with a tourist guide service. Hotel is 3 minute walk from the public boat service to Valetta (3 euro per person return trip) and many other boat tours around Valetta bay and to other islands of Gozo and Comino. The hotel has both a fantastic roof-top bar (Cielo) with a breathtaking view on the Valetta marina and excellent selection of cocktails and an outdoor restaurant 1Olive - with a good menu. We can also recommend a restaurant just in front of the hotel - Punti Bar and Dine - really good food, and reasonable prices.
Bathroom might benefit from a bit more surface space to put guests' toiletries- it was a bit difficult with all the toiletry bags for a couple :)

Such a great place in Sliema. The pool club across the street was amazing. The bar and restaurants were fantastic. The staff were helpful and friendly. Easy access to the ferry to Gozo. Our room was spacious and had an amazing view to the Valetta.

We loved the view over the harbor, it doesn't get any better than that. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. It is well located, close to everything else while still a little outside the city crazyness.
The only thing we didn't like was that the AC wasn't working the second night but the hotel reset the cooling system in the morning so they fixes it quickly.

Rooms were clean. Staff were very friendly and really helpful. My sister was sick and they were very concerned and try to help as much as they could. Especially the receptionist Mr. Ozan helped us a lot during our stay.

This hotel exceeded our expectations on every front. Notably the chef for the breakfast buffet was so kind and accommodating for my vegan daughter . He went out of his way to ensure she had anything she wanted and even made her special vegan pancakes for the next morning ?
Nothing… everything was awesome!

The rooms are spacious, the staff friendly, location of the hotel just across the strand is amazing. The food, especially the hamburger is to die for!
The outdoor pool is located across the street from the hotel and tends to be very crowded because it's a public space.
