The Diplomat Hotel, on the seafront at Sliema, is a good base for exploring the islands; buses to Valletta and the Gozo ferry pass the door. The hotel has well appointed rooms, some overlooking the sea, the remainder with a view from a balcony. All rooms are spacious and en-suite. There is a lobby bar, serving light refreshments and a...

I chose this hotel because of the reviews, and I chose well. Reception staff is very nice and helpful, maids clean well, rooms are quite big (although the balconys are terribly small), internet works well. Just one negative thing: in may, where it can be quite hot, the aircon still was put on "heater" and did not cool at all.... More

I stayed in The Diplomat for 11 nights. The only good thing about this hotel is the free and widely available wifi. The other good thing is that the 21 rooms,3 on each floor,that are at the front of the building have amazing views of the sea. Other than that this hotel is crap! The beds are tiny and very... More

we booked our holiday through Mercury direct and stayed at the Diplomat hotel in Sliema Malta. the diplomat is rated as a 4 star hotel and although the staff were really great, the hotel should be a 2 / 3 star. Its looking rather aged and in need of a good refurbishment and the a/c in the hotel room was... More

We have just returned from a weeks holiday in Malta staying at the Diplomat. The level of service, cleanliness, food and friendliness are first class. We can fully recommend this excellent hotel. The only negative is the traffic noise on Tower Road. However, this is mostly the case at the majority of sea frontage hotels and is certainly not limited... More

My wife and I have just spent two weeks in the Hotel Diplomat. The room was always clean and the views were great. Also would like to thank Ian and Peter (chefs) for the great selection of good cooked food. See you next year. Thanks to all the staff.

This was our 2nd winter break both times in Sliema, and this by far the best hotel we have stayed in in all of our ten visits to Malta. All staff are cheerful, helpful and will go that extra mile to make your stay pleasant and comfortable. We had Bed and Breakfast, a good variety of food, fresh and plentiful,... More

This is our second winter break at the Diplomat, our 7th visit to Malta. We went 5-19 Feb 2012. The weather was mixed with high winds and cold temperatures so disappointing, but not the Diplomats fault obviously. The room was good with a sea view. Our heating worked well but other guests had to be given heaters which helped them.I... More
