10/10 Exceptional

We stayed for 8 days as a wind-down from a vigourous Asian holiday and it was perfect. We had a great view of the Sea and fell asleep to the sound of the surf. The bed was very comfortable - with 2 pillows each - and the room was very spacious. We asked for a fix for a cupboard door that was falling off and again when the TV wouldn't turn on, and maintenance was very prompt in fixing both. The breakfast was smazing. We were even offered a "take-away-breakfast" when we had to check out at 4 am on our last day. They have an events desk that lined up aa one day excursion to Gozo Island that was very friendly, informative and helpful. The Terrace on the roof as great, with plenty of seating snd a great view. The pool looked great but, in mid- October, was a bit too cool for our liking. We made use of the lounge chairs, though. Overall, it was a great stay.

The Diplomat Hotel has rooms which overlook the mediterranean sea. They are clean, comfortable with excellent facilities. Breakfast is of the highest quality and excellent choice of dishes. Staff are friendly and helpful. I had an enjoyable stay and can highly recommend it.

Lovely hotel and staff. Highly recommend

Lovely hotel in a great location. The staff were all super friendly and helpful and the facilities couldn't be faulted. The bed was a little on the hard side for our liking but that is just personal taste. We would definitely stay here again.

Good hotel in a quieter sea-front location

Location involves a certain amount of walking - or bus - to St. Julian's Bay or Sliema Ferry, but it is much quieter and pleasanter than its equivalent-quality hotels. Nearby restaurants offer good food at fair prices I shall use it again in the future.
Christopher, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfectly located on Sliema seafront the Diplomat provided the ideal base for a nostalgic week in Malta. Straightforward check in (you pay for your stay up front on arrival) comfortable spacious room that is well serviced and a hearty self serve buffet breakfast. No frills but economical and enjoyable.

10/10 Exceptional

the room is so nice and clean but pool is small than i think.
JEONG MOON, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice location. Passing the street and going down the stairs, you could go swimming in the sea. The beach is rocky, which I liked. The main I didn't like was finding parking. It was a hassle each time to find a parking spot.

A very happy stay at the Diplomat

The hotel was really good. Very well located and the staff were so friendly and helpful. I could not say enough about the staff. The room was lovely. The bed was comfortable. Fridge, tea making facilities, air-conditioning and TV. We had a small balcony view of the street and sea. A very minor issue was the lack of Toilet Paper. Overall I would recommend the hotel and would definitely return.

2/10 Poor

overrated - simple

Just bad… breakfast in a basement without windows and extremely bad quality of food and choices. Need an update of the whole hotel. Gym a bit of a joke… guess everybody is an owner of a gym.

This hotel is not a 4 star hotel and did not offer an upgrade to me as a gold member . There were cockroaches in the breakfast area , our ceiling in our room collapsed and the next room we were given had no air conditioning . Also the rooms are not sound proof at all . Overall a bad experience and I would never suggest it to anyone visiting Malta
Adrian, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Not living up to the images

The pictures of the room is not at all what I expected. It was a horrible view, or no view at all.. cause there was a building very close to the window. There was no room service and no mini-bar. The worst I'd say was that you could hear the other rooms and when people walked etc. It woke me up every morning, all the time, till I gave up and decided to wake up. Not a very pleasant way to wake up.

Disappointing Diplomat.

Booked a room with partial sea view, given room at the back of the hotel and Diplomat did not change as they were fully booked and said this was room boked (it stated partial sea view) I was also due a Bottle of wine as I am a Silver Member and this was a perk, I received a miniture bottle of red that was half full. Told by the hotel that thisnis what they offer. Cleaners where fantastic and cleaned room everyday, toilet had a leak, shower was poor and the bathroom was tiny, struggle to get between door and sink. Overall not happy with the room and the poor Silver Membership reward. I dont think I will stay at the Diplomat again, its a nice hotel in a good location, but this experience has not left a goodnimpression on me.
