My husband and I spent two weeks at the Waterfront hotel and had a great time. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the food, a good selection, was plentiful and very nice. Very good selection at the salad bar too. It's buffet service but the waiters are very nice and good at their jobs. The prices for drinks at night... More

We visited the Waterfront Hotel in April, 2012, which we found very central to all modes of transport, the entertainment was a man on keyboard singing every wednesday evening. Good choice of food in main restaurant (buffet style) and snacks in the cafe, the Basilico restaurant served pizzas, grills etc which you had to pay extra for. Buses go past... More

The hotel is itself is definitely a little bit '80s' in style but everything seemed clean and well catered for. The staff are overall lovely - their receptionist sent out for their IT guy to help my colleague and I connect to the chargeable hotel WiFi, which I thought was 'over and above' in terms of customer service. The only... More

This hotel was just "nice". Location and balcony view was great. Breakfast nice. Staff nice enough. Big downside is the beds.... so uncomfortable, lucky massages were cheap in Malta! And no free wifi, always a disappointment when you are away on long trips. The terrace/pool bar was closed as it was too early in the season, disappointing as the view... More

I was looking forward to attending a conference here in Malta, and figured the Hotel was good. It started at the check in, I found it strange that you have to pay the whole sum for your stay upfront, but ok. I ordered Internet for 4 days for 25 euro. I got to my room, started it, and it was...

Dear Guest, We thank you for your comments and constructive feedback and we apologise for failing to meet, let alone exceed your expectations. With regards to the issue of the WiFi voucher, the pass is a 1000 minute one which can be used within a 4 day timeframe. We do sometimes encounter problems with this technology and unfortunately we, ourselves... More

Just returned from a great two week holiday at the Waterfront. We had a great Seaview room (209) which was fairly spacious and clean with a basic bathroom without, as one reviewer commented upon the usual freeby toiletries ,we always take our own anyway so don't have cause to moan. Breakfast and Dinner were adequate with ample choice to have... More

I’ve just returned from a really lovely holiday at the Waterfront Hotel. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were so friendly and helpful. It is always my policy to talk to the staff as I want to be spoken to and I always receive a friendly welcome. You do get some members of the public who think the... More

The Waterfront has many virtues but one disqualifying feature: noisy music from parties in the hotel. One night we returned to our room at 6 PM tired from a day of touring to find it filled with music from an event on the 5th floor front terrace beamed right at our balcony. Fortunately when we returned at 7:30 PM from... More

Stayed for a week in late April 2012 on first visit to Malta. Sign out front has 4 stars; remove at least a fraction of one. Section of the Strand is quite lively so very convenient to walk within 10 minutes to many attractions. Downside of location is excessive weekend PM noise from nearby clubs and revelers and loss of... More

My husband, I and another couple stayed here for 5 nights in mid-April 2012. The hotel is in a brilliant position overlooking the water facing Valetta. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff were all helpful and pleasant and the food at breakfast was fine. Drinks, coffees etc from the bar and cafe were all very reasonably priced. The...
