Diplomat Hotel
Malta and Gozo, Europe
Sliema
One of Sliema's foremost attractions is its elegant promenade, so it should come as no surprise that the Diplomat Hotel, set on the promenade, and overlooking the sea, is one of Sliema's foremost hotels.
Sliema's many shops, bars and restaurants are all close at hand and there's a real feeling of being at the heart of things when you're staying at the Diplomat Hotel. The Sliema casino is a stroll away, as is the IMAX cinema and Super Bowl. Truly, this is the place to be for a best of both worlds holiday – exciting entertainment and exhilarating views – you can have them both.
Enjoy the superb promenade location and sea views from Sliema's Diplomat Hotel:
You might be forgiven for thinking that the Diplomat Hotel trades purely on its enviable location; not a bit of it. It's just as well regarded for its amenities and for its four star standards. This isn't just a place to stay, but a welcoming and comfortable home for however long you're lucky enough to stay.
The air-conditioned twin rooms are all tastefully furnished and arranged and all come with a small side sea view balcony. Each has an en suite bathroom and, wonderfully, an orthopaedic mattress. So you can see, your comfort is very high on the list of priorities!
You can pay a supplement for a sea view room with a French style balcony – it really is worth it. But even if you don't, each and every room will feel like home. Your amenities include satellite TV, direct dial phone mini bar and drinks making facilities. And don't forget, the excellent hotel staff are on hand to ensure you're well looked after.
Even with all of the attractions and entertainments of Sliema to enjoy, the Diplomat Hotel gives you more. You'll love the rooftop pool and the hotel bathing area – a magnet for sun-seekers and swimmers, and you'll even have free access to a nearby seafront lido with watersports and scuba diving on offer.
Getting to know Sliema can become a bit of a passion. With so much to see and do, and such a wonderful hotel to see and do it all from, you'll be perfectly set up to make the most of your Maltese holiday.

Great hotel in Sliema , Malta
Great hotel in excellent location , buses opposite and ferry terminal for Valleta and all sea trips approx 10 mins walk away . Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast choice great and morning staff very friendly and chatty . Hotel is on long promenade so great for early morning run along to St Julian’s Bay or evening stroll . Lots of cafes and restaurants close by and great choice of food options . Little rooftop pool which was great for dip at the end of day . Sometimes loungers were all taken but plenty of seating area and areas close by if wanted day of sunbathing. Safe beach 10 mins away for sea swim. Rooms very clean and had side room with sea view which got afternoon sun which was lovely . Balcony not big enough to sit on but nice to be able to have breeze blowing in . Would highly recommend this and hope to return soon .

Hits the spot
This hotel is in a good location- on the prom from Sliema to St Julian -a 2km stroll and it is also a short walk to the ferries . We had bed and breakfast and really only used the hotel to sleep and a night cap in the bar . The breakfast is excellent with fruits yogurts hot food cheese and pastries. Staff are very friendly and helpful and you can store your luggage and have use of a courtesy room when departing . We had no view but we didn’t spend anytime in the room and the air con was good at night .

Good location for visiting the area.
We had a 4 night stay at The Diplomat for our first visit to Malta. Perfect location with the hotel located opposite the promenade. Staff were very friendly & helpful. Great breakfast with lots of choice. Comfy beds and rooms were clean and perfect for a short stay. Rooftop pool (quite small) but still a bonus
Review by Motherhen55 Carlisle, United Kingdom
A good 3 star hotel in a prime location
The hotel is in a prime location. Directly on promenade and facing sea. The hotel is outdated and old fashioned. We were served a welcome drink. It has slippers and bathrobe. Beds are comfortable. Breakfast is decent. It’s poorly soundproofed inside. And it actually says “balcony” on their booking site when in reality it’s only a big window. Big downgrade.
