The hotel is well situated on Selima harbour, with the outside pool and sunbathing area opposite, free of charge. It also has an indoor gym with swimming pool and sauna. It is close to several quality restaurants including it own. We took advantage of all the offers, buy one get one free drinks every night in the roof top bar, 25% off food and drink on steak promotion night. The breakfast catered for every diet with full cooked, continental, vegan and vegetarian. The staff were very helpful and polite.

We stayed at the Hotel Waterfront last week for a family vacation, and it exceeded our expectations. Our room was super clean, spacious, and featured a beautiful sea view with all the amenities we could need. The facilities were top-notch—we thoroughly enjoyed the gym, sauna, spa, and the indoor swimming pool with a Jacuzzi. Breakfast offered plenty of delicious options to choose from every morning, and the entire staff was incredibly friendly and respectful throughout our stay. Location-wise, you couldn't ask for better. There are tons of restaurants and retail shops within easy walking distance. Plus, the Sliema Ferries terminal is just a 5-minute walk away, making it incredibly easy to catch a ferry to Valletta or Gozo. We actually booked our Gozo day trip directly through the hotel, and it was an absolute blast. I highly recommend staying here to make your Malta vacation truly memorable!

"I had a fantastic stay at the Waterfront Hotel. The highlight was definitely the balcony view of the Valletta skyline—it’s even better in person. The hotel is perfectly situated right on the promenade, making it easy to catch the ferry or explore Sliema’s shops and cafes. The room was clean, modern, and very comfortable. I’ll definitely be back!"

We changed hotels at the last minute and we are so glad we did. The hotel was spotless and the building was highly maintained, the staff were amazing, friendly, and very welcoming. We have stayed in many countries this was the best breakfast by far, fresh coffee, iced coffee or other hot beverages of your choice made fresh just for you no old fashioned coffee pots, the breakfast choice had a choice to suit everybody, "The Waterfront" is "on point"when it comes to expectations of hotels in 2026, if I had to pick a fault like most hotel gyms it is ok but if I was that desperate to run I had miles of coast to run around. We will be back and we know where we will be staying thanks to all the smiling staff that made our stay fabulous Dave and Lisa England x
