Diplomat Hotel

Diplomat Hotel

8/10 Good
"Had a lovely stay at The Diplomat. Rooms were clean, beds made every day, towels changed daily, Tea, coffee etc replenished. Breakfast was very enjoyable, with plenty of choice. Our favourite person was receptionist Meledy! Absolute beautiful girl who made us laugh and laughed with us. All staff were very pleasant and accommodating. I would genuinely recommend this hotel. Although I have discovered Malta is not a place I want to visit again. Just not MY cup of tea."
