Property was really nice and comfortable. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was tasty. Wine and nibbles evenings were an added bonus. Walking along the promenade opposite was great. Travel representative at the hotel was especially helpful. Great stay overall.

Room's bathroom was definitely lower standard, staff does not speak English well. Yet great communication with town, buses just minutes away from the Hotel.

Not a 4* Hotel
On the whole, the stay was good. However, when you are booking a 4* hotel you'd expect a little more than what the Diplomat has to offer.

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.
