We've never been to Malta before. This hotel was recommended by a relative. The rooms were very clean, staff friendly and breakfast pretty good. We loved the location as it had lovely views across to Valetta and was near ferries and bus stops. A 7 day bus ticket is only 12 euros or a day one 2.6 euros. Drivers are... More

My friend and I have just returned from Malta and were a little disappointed with this hotel. The rooms were of a good size and very clean. Enjoyed the shower & plenty of hot water. However, as we had read on the previous reviews, if you open the window the noise outside can go on until 2.30 a.m. You can... More

The best hotel in Malta. Wife won't stay anywhere else. Great friendly staff, good food, superb location (get a sea view room) good sized rooms. Ideal for couples 5 min walking distance to Sliema main shops and harbour area.

I booked a double room on the seafront. This turned out to be a twin room round the back with a squinted view of the harbour. Lifts are not adequate to serve the number of people at breakfast and there is no stairway alternative. Towels are rationed as if they are going out of fashion. Fire escape lands you in... More

Very nice hotel with nice clean spacious rooms. The staff are very helpfully. Situated in Gzira waterfront which puts you just a walking distance from Sliema & St Gulian two of the nicest places for tourists. Valletta is just 10 min by bus from the hotel. Lots of nice restaurants around the hotel and supermarkets and gift shops too. I... More

We have just returned from our second stay at the Waterfront. Although the outside of the hotel was in the process of being decorated it didn't impinge too much on our visit although the sight of the crane lifting workmen up the front of the hotel past the bedroom window was a little disconcerting at times!

We have stopped at the Waterfront three times now and generally found it satisfactory. It occupies an ideal position on the waterfront, close to the ferry to Valetta, with excellent views across to the Valetta skyline. It is close to the bus stop to Valetta but because the bus routes have been changed since Arriva has got the franchise the... More
