"excellent value"
i have just returned from a weeks holiday in malta. before i left i checked the trip advisor comments on the howard johnston diplomat in tower road sliema and was dreading the thought of spending any time there. as it turned out the hotel was excellent, the food well prepared and the staff couldnt be friendlier- so much so that we upgraded to half-board from b&b.
goodness knows what some of the reviewers expected from a tourist hotel- if you want 5 star quality expect to pay 5 star prices!
i intend to return to malta and i will be checking on the availability of this hotel when i do.

"Great Value"
We stayed here for 8 nights for an Easter break and I was very apprehensive after reading the reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. The location is excellent and for the money it is very good value.
It is a bit 'tired', but it is very clean and the service is excellent. There is a fridge, kettle and hair dryer. The shower is not bad. I would stay there again.
All the rooms have side seaview, but ours was a bit dark and so we upgraded to a full seaview for only M£6 per night, well worth the extra.
The worst thing about the hotel is the lack of TV channels.

"Delightful Diplomat!"
I stayed at this Hotel between 19th November 2003 and 10th December 2003 on a HB basis. I emailed Ian Laferla(Duty Manager) before I arrived to ask could I have a packed lunch each day instead of an Evening Meal. He replied straight away and said this was not a problem and also that he would do everything possible to make my stay a memorable one. FROM DAY ONE HE WAS AS GOOD AS HIS WORD and he and his staff were so friendly and helpful. My packed luches were terrific and healthy and the kitchen staff and restaurant staff were so friendly and professional, especially the head chef and one of the waiters named Joey. Special mention also to one of the Housekeeping staff, Rita and the Lobby Bar/Cafe staff named Anne who originated from Ireland.
The rooms were very clean, comfortable and bright, with mini bar and cable TV. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff at the Diplomat and the General Manager, Conrad should be very proud of such a commited and dedicated team. Mr Ian Laferla is a top class duty manager and a first class human being.
The Restaurant and food were first rate as were the Lobby Bar/Cafe and the on site Pub just next to Reception.
IF YOU ARE THINKING OF VISITING MALTA, DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND MAKE SURE YOU STAY AT THE HOWARD JOHNSON DIPLOMAT HOTEL IN SLIEMA.
I will be going back again and again for the friendliness, comfort, lovely atmosphere, great decor and rooms, and most of all a super group of staff, who really made me feel at home and made my holiday so special, even though I travelled alone for the first time away from my two teenage children.
WELL DONE DIPLOMAT, TOP OF THE CLASS!
