It was a great location and right on the beach. I really liked the swimming pool and terrace area. It was a nice touch being able to book some time in the spa bath + sauna which I didn’t know they had on site. Staff were very friendly.
There was a funny smell in our room which unfortunately didn’t go throughout the time we were there

Breakfast was ok. Good size room and the location is nice.
The furniture is dated and the walls were covered in black mold spots. The room also smelt rather "funky" and I had to wash all my clothes when I got home to get rid of the smell. In 2 weeks the bedding was not changed despite that I requested it twice. The balcony was tiny.

Room size good. Hotel bar and coffee shop good. Location was good as in Sliema where the sea front promenade was a bit quieter.
Breakfast - Sweetened milk in the coffee from the machine, not real orange juice. Had to ask for English breakfast tea bags.
Room noisy as sea very close and it was windy and rough. Needed window open to give cool and air to room. The air conditioning was also very noisy and didn't work very well.

The location was great - it was on the seafront (although the room didn't have a sea view). Good public transport links to central Sliema, St Julians and Valetta - even caught a bus to Mdina from the nearby bus stop. The breakfast was good, although the maitre de service was a bit chaotic, and some of the food choices bizarre!
The bathroom was a little cramped - the WC seems to have been fitted as an afterthought crammed into a space between the bath and the wall. I had to ring down to room service to get the kettle to work, and I gave up trying to get the TV to work - some instructions might be a good idea.

Would definitely stay here again...Helpful and friendly staff, delicious breakfast every day, good location, nice room cleaning service, lovely rooftop pool with bar

The Diplomat hotel is in a great location for swimming and snorkelling in the sea, bus stops and the various bars and restaurants. Sliema is a 15 minute flat easy walk.The breakfast was superb with so much choice. Our bed comfortable and towels changed everyday. The roof top swimming pool offers a great views.
the lateral Seaview is only a small view on a tiny balcony

The location of the property was great, directly at the ocean. The staff was friendly and made an effort to help, which we appreciated.
The room was run down and did not match the pictures. Especially the bathroom was outdated, with a mini bathtub shower combo and a hairdryer from the 60s. The mattresses were uncomfortable.
The AC was not working in our first room, however, we were able to switch rooms and then it was fine.
The breakfast buffet did not convince either. - we found a hair in the fried egg.
Entering the lobby there was a smell of old furniture and generally musty.
We left after staying one night because we did not feel like we are getting out money‘s worth. The staff was open to help. We paid one additional night as a penalty.

the staff were lovely, very welcoming and happy to help. The Diplomat is located in a great spot, across the road from the promenade and with good bus links to Valletta and other areas. The entertainment on Thursdays and Mondays was lovely, breakfast was always slightly varied.
Really struggle to identify any issues - maybe a little confusing if you end up getting down to breakfast as it’s starting, since they are often still setting up. however, after day 1 we worked out that we could seat ourselves and confirm our room number when they came around.

It is extremely old. We were very unhappy with the
overall hygiene! The hairdryer in the room did not work.
Everything was very bad quality and old. Low standards.
5.0
Staff was really nice. Very polite, quick and lovely people. I’ve enjoyed glass of Prosecco as a welcome drink. The room was clean with plenty of towels. The lobby interior is gorgeous.
Generally the it’s not worth the prize. The room felt old and the small ceilings were a little bit claustrophobic. The gym isn’t well equipped and being there felt like I’m in some sort of a horror film. The main breakfast was nice variety of options, but the room didn’t felt nice as well. I’ve enjoyed more the breakfast upstairs at the lobby restaurant, where nice coffee is served, and even though the food options are limited, it was a nicer experience.
