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

Spent 10 days at this hotel, and loved every minute.Extremely good weather which helped. Very good welcoming staff - nothing too much trouble. Sorry the pool wasn't open - not in season when we were there. The only down side was the infrequent buses and lack of timetables, but that not the fault of the hotel.
