Every thing was great EXCEPT the concierge. We booked hop on off @ 56 euros plus gave 5 euro tip. She pointed out the bus stop & told us to wait there. She did not tell us any thing about the buses. She did not say there would be buses to many areas. We booked the SOUTH & ended up on NORTH bus We missed all we wanted to see & ended getting off & ending wrong tour. Waste of 61 euros & time. SHE OFFERED NO REFUND AT ALL ALL. Poor info for travelers that know nothing about bus operations. This was only bad thing. All hotel was GREAT.

Excellent location for boat trips and beautiful views across the harbour. Service was a little slow in the Ceilo lounge but otherwise service excellent. Particular highlight was the bbq evening at 1Olive, supervised by the head chef who made everyone feel welcome and took time to speak to guests. He was happy to cook an extra steak exactly as requested, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Very well-appointed hotel in convenient location for visiting Valletta and sightseeing in broader Malta. Hotel dining (including breakfast) options were great and many other restaurants nearby. View from rooftop bar was sensational. Room was spacious and nicely furnished and decorated. Frustrating that Hotel did not have a usable map of Valletta and Malta.

Wonderful stay and lovely staff
My partner and I stayed at The Waterfront for 5 nights in August and everything was great from start to finish. Check in was easy and we were offered a complimentary drink on arrival. The room was great for us, spacious and clean. The two rooftop bars were amazing and had great views. We absolutely loved the pool. Although it is not directly in the hotel, it is opposite the hotel and you obtain a ticket at reception every day. The pool was great and right next to the harbour! On one day the indoor pool was closed due to maintenance so everyone was offered a free drink on the rooftop bar due to this, which was a lovely gesture. The hotel does “themed” nights every evening. My partner and I went to the “brass band and bbq night”. We thoroughly enjoyed this and it is very much worth the money and we fully recommend attending one of these nights. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and we would definitely recommend and stay again in the future.

The hotel itself was very nice with lovely rooms and very helpful staff. However the outdoor pool is across a busy road and open to general public. The pool is also extremely busy which meant we hardly used it. The rooftop bar (Cielo Lounge) is amazing with great views. We also ate at their barbecue one evening where they had a live saxophone player. There are ample places to eat near the hotel within walking distance or you can Uber to town and eat there. Very close to €2 ferry to Valletta.

Lovely hotel. More variety on alternate days for the breakfast rather than just changing the same items with different flavours. The theme nights, the food was very average, better to eat outside the hotel. The indoor pool isn’t heated, although great to have complimentary passes to the Aqua Luna across the road to the Hotel

The one to beat in Malta
The Waterfront is one of those rare hotels where everyone who works there does everything in their powers to ensure you have the best stay It’s located on the seafront enjoys beautiful sweeping views of the bay and Valletta opposite. The food is fantastic. One of the restaurants is on the 11th floor giving you the bonus of amazing views. If you want to get a tan, guests have free access to a private Lido/club with beds, pool, bar, food etc. Getting to beautiful Valletta is easy as are boat trips to Comino, Gozo and other nearby islands.The hotel even has a spa I travel a lot and would really recommend this little gem.

Beautiful hotel right on the seafront in Sliema. Convenient location, huge rooms and breakfast was sumptuous, with a great choice available and very tasty. Staff were kind, helpful and efficient and the property was immaculate. I liked the idea of the lights on the showers to tell you how much water is being used, they are taking steps towards being eco friendly. Go to the bistro opposite next to the pool- delicious ♥️
