Toller Aufenthalt, mit erstklassiger Lage in einem Hotel wo der Gast noch Gastfreundschaft erlebt
Pros:

Ausserordentlich nettes, zuvorkommendes Personal. Vom Checkin bei Julia und ihren Kolleginnen über das Servicepersonal beim Frühstück bis zum Roomservice, alles top. Zimmer mit Meerblick waren geräumig und wunderschön.

Cons:

Speisen beim Frühstück teilweise nicht so top (Rührei, Wurstwaren).

Pros:

We had an enjoyable stay at this hotel . We had a room with a side view, and it was spacious and comfortable, and the view was amazing.

The staff were helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. A special thank you to Rikta, Anu, and Suhan for their kindness and excellent service.

We also really enjoyed the breakfast, and the rooftop restaurant was another highlight, as well as the pool, where we had a lovely time relaxing.

We have very good memories of our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable experience !

Good value hotel in a good location close to the capital
Pros:

Good sized room with good sized bathroom. Shower only. Plenty of cupboard a space. Clean and simple. We paid extra for a sea view with balcony. It was worth it. Good aircon which you need in temperatures above 30 degrees. Good options and plenty of food for breakfast. To get to the capital it was a 12 minute walk to the ferry or closer by many buses to capital. Area very built up but that applies to all of Malt. It is the most densely occupied country in Europe. Always felt safe in the are. Plenty of restaurants and eateries near by and many bars that also served very food. Free use of open air lido opposite or 15 minute walk to rocky beach. Good shopping area 12 minutes walk away. We hired a car after reading that there was parking that you did not need to book. Parking is limited at the hotel. Street parking is impossible. Cars everywhere, but that is Malta for you. It was our first trip to Malta and yes I would return and stay at the Waterfront again. Good roof top bar.

Cons:

Could have had better onsite parking but what they had was safe and fine.

Clean and comfortable but lacks a decent pool
Pros:

Very clean and comfortable. Excellent service and good choice of breakfast. Rooftop bar was good

Cons:

Pool area does not belong to the hotel and is overcrowded - not great having to queue to get into it. On several occasions through the 10 or so days we were there - the rooftop bar closed to residents for private functions.

Decent hotel but a bit noisy
Pros:

The room was generously sized, and the buffet breakfast was decent, although there weren’t that many gluten-free options. The barista coffee at breakfast was lovely though. The bed was comfortable, with good memory foam pillows. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
We appreciated the complimentary bus shuttle to Golden Bay beach, although the beach itself was unfortunately very busy and had limited eating options. The hotel is also well located, with an abundance of places to eat nearby. It’s easy to get into Valletta by ferry, which is a much nicer way to travel than by bus.

Cons:

The location on the main road does mean there is quite a lot of noise from the traffic and the bars along the road, which was pretty constant. There’s also a rooftop terrace/bar at the hotel that played loud music until after 11pm. We also happened to be there on a Thursday when there was a wedding at the hotel, and the music was ridiculously loud, with very heavy bass going on until quite late. I’d definitely recommend taking some good earplugs.
The gym was just about adequate, although it is considerably smaller than it looks in the hotel photos.
