A celebration weekend with my three grown-up daughters. We shared a quadruple suite on the 11th floor with stunning views across to Valetta. We enjoyed the indoor pool, jacuzzi and sauna on a wet day and used the ferry for a trip to the beautiful city when it was fine. Waterfront breakfast is the best ever, varied and leisurely with exra helful staff.

Lovely friendly hotel

Great hotel, friendly and welcoming staff. Room was a family room, spacious and clean with plenty of lovely touches. Breakfast was tasty with lots of choices, we used the indoor pool once kids enjoyed it apart from another guest telling them to shut up whilst they were in the pool (they were not shouting or splashing but laughing and enjoying themselves ) I did have a few words to say back but it put my youngest granddaughter off going again. I would definitely recommend and would consider staying again.

The location was central and convenient for tours. The staff were great; very responsive! Unclear what was happening with the new restaurant. Breakfast appears to be the only meal served there at the time. Tried dinner and it was closed; no signage as to opening hours or why it was closed. However, we were able to order food from the bar. Will stay there again.

Best hotel in Sliema

This was our fourth visit to the Waterfront in as many years, the hotel or exactly the right location for a base to see all that Malta offers. The hotel has everything you need for a great holiday. I have stayed in various hotels in Sliema and find the Waterfront by far the best value for money with the best service provided by all the staff with great facilities. Sliema also has options as a base for all trips you may be planning during your holiday, I would highly recommend this hotel.

Excellent stay in a lovely location

Had an excellent time at this hotel. Staff are all extremely friendly and attentive. The location in ideally placed fir bars, coffee shops, bus & boat trips and shopping. Easy to get to Valletta on ferry. Our room was first class with a side view which looked over the bay which was a great view. Room was clean and modern. Beds were comfortable. Used the indoor pool, sauna and gym and also had an afternoon at the lido across from the hotel. Breakfast was lovely with lots of choices, including a barista serving your choice of coffee (nice touch) and a small menu with prepared breakfast such as omelettes and filled muffins.
