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.

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Arrived early morning before check in time and was kindly offered complimentary tea and coffee. Suitcases were stored for us until check in time. 2 small complimentary bottles of wine delivered to room with bathrobes. Room was spacious and clean, bathroom had bsth as well as shower. Excellent breakfast choice.
