Hot buffet Breakfast would be cold warm due to not being kept hot on the Bain marie servery. Noise was due to building works being carried out directly outside. All staff were polite and courteous but the front of house manager i forget their names (sorry) one was Male and female who were very warm, friendly but also helpful with practical issues about timeframes, access to facilities and concern of taxi arriving which in the end did without a problem but they offered up alternative solution just in case. So thankyou to all the staff who made the stay enjoyable, they have such a lovely beautiful and blessed country.

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.
