We lived in the sea-view room for 10 days in May. Room is nice, but it is so noisy! Noise from cars. sea and wind! especially wind, almost windows are shaking. You can't even sleep or watch TV. Breakfast is average, but it's good that they have fruits. Pool is not heated, so it's meaningless, not very many sunbeds, some... More

This hotel claims to be 4 star and I am at a loss as to why and who gave this old and tired place anything other than 2. The rooms are tired,worn and well used, it would appear the whole place is simply being held together by sticking plaster all rather sad as it could be so much more. It's... More

Excellent location with a white rocky beach that has sparkling crystal clear waters. Everyone friendly especially dining room staff and bars. Food great and we really enjoyed the Maltese and American buffet. Had rabbit for the first time, it's good, really good. Beautiful promenade which is popular with joggers. If the price remain competitive we might come and spend winter... More

The Diplomat was our first intro to Malta and was very disappointing. When we walked through the door there was an odor of cooking oil/general kitchen smells. The front desk people were less than helpful on a number of occasions. The rooms were clean and sufficient. Breakfast was sufficient. When we asked about booking another night we were told we...

Me and my husband had spent a good time in Sliema and the Maltese islands. Sliema is relaxing, ideal for walking, sunbathing. The hotel has excellent location. The rooms are simple, clean, good.The service is good. We were happy with the food. Dinner was fine. The chef Ian always served us with a great attitude.

We had a lovely time in Malta over the Easter break, staying at The Diplomat Hotel which is perfectly located on the sea front in Sliema, accessible to the many well known popular shops . The tree lined promenade looking out over the sea with cafes and restaurants is ideal for walking, jogging or simply people watching. St Julien is... More

We stayed there for 3 days. the rooms was not anything fancy but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. It was a good stay for the price we paid for. The partial sea view doesn't mean any thing but does have a balcony (facing another hotel). The traffic in sliema and st. julian could get crazily congested. Give extra time... More
