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!
