Water's Edge Hotel

It was a really pleasant stay - with a loveley view

Room overall was ok, view was lovely with a glorious sunrise every morning. There were issues with some areas though. The black out lining on the curtains had large areas that were warn, so sunlight always streamed through. There was damage to the laminated surface below the room fridge, which was quite extensive. The handle for the shower control came off in your hand. Breakfast was tricky, I have a chocolate allergy and don’t eat cooked breakfasts/ processed meats. There were only 2 cereal options and all the pastries were mixed in together so chocolate was the main option whether croissants, muffins etc and as they were all touching each other, I struggled to find something to eat, even the yoghurts were mainly chocolate flavoured. The fruit was boring and unappealing, banana, apple or orange. The pancakes had been pre-made on the first morning but the dining room lady kindly went and warmed them up. She also put a couple of pistachio croissants on one side for the second morning, but no such luck for our 3rd day. Great beach location, including early morning swims with the fish in the bay. The restaurants nearby were uninspiring unless you want pizza, pasta or burgers every night, we had to travel for decent evening meals. Final word of warning if you’re staying there on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday night, they have bingo on directly outside the hotel front, via a very loud microphone and speakers and it goes on until 11pm, not good for early flights home.

Located in the southern part of Malta. Bus stop to anyplace (airport and Valletta most importantly) steps from hotel’s door. Nestled on Pretty Bay Beach with plenty of pastizzerias, and restaurants. There is a nice promenade, plaza, skate park, trampoline park, football arena all incorporated into the beach promenade. This isn’t bustling with nightlife like Paceville, Bugibba, Sliema, or Vallleta, but quaint and a nice place to enjoy.

Beach in the front, very convenient! But noise from the hallway in the morning.

The rooms were cleaned everyday with fresh towels. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a good view overlooking the bay. Only slight negative was the breakfast was a little limited (same everyday). But there was never any shortage of it. Coffee and tea (numerous types) good.
