The hotel is situated in sliema overlooking the mediterranean sea. It is a little old but is considerably cheap if that is what you are looking for.. it is not far from valetta where most of the attractions are. You can get to valetta using the luzzu or traditional boat as well as the bus which would take around half... More

This hotel is stuck in a time-warp back in the 1980's. Where do I begin? On a positive note, I agree with the other reviewers regarding the helpfulness of the staff and great location. Considering this hotel was at a minimum capacity we were completely shocked at the standard of cleanliness. On arrival we had been assigned a side room... More

A friend of mine booked this spot by accident. Was awful. The room was dirty with no amenities and the service was dreadful. The real shame is that there are tons of great hotels in the area at the same price. More

Spent three week winter holiday here found the room to be well furnished with good solid bed which has been a problem in other Malta hotels. OK decor was a little tired, as this is a busy hotel year round, but housekeeping was first rate. Service throughout the hotel was excellent and very friendly. I am not a fan of... More

Quite true that this is not a 4 star hotel as we would find in the UK but probably is under Maltese specifications We had a side room, as opposed to sea view which was a bit on the dark side but it was quite clean and comfortable, the bathroom was a bit tired and could do with a refurbishment....

We had our spring holiday at the Diplomat, our first visit to Malta. The common feature of many reviews of Malta hotels was an inflated star rating, and this one probably is guilty of that, but we still had a pleasant stay. The hotel is on the seafront, with the best views from the more expensive rooms, but we still... More

Very good location; restaurants, shops, beaches may be reached by less than a 5 minutes walk along the beautiful promenade of Tas-Sliema. The hotel however needs some refurbishment! Everything in the hotel seems very old. The makeshift fixing/maintenance really doesn't help improve the image of this 4 star hotel. More
