"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!"
