Pros:

I loved the pool on the rooftop with delicious drinks, the room was spacious and clean. The localisation was great, right next to nice restaurants and beaches.

Cons:

The balcony was a little crazy, super small and weirdly built but it wasn’t much of a problem.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Malta, The Diplomat hotel was quiet and in a good location to visit all areas.
Pros:

Bedrooms were nice, clean and beds comfy.

Cons:

The bar area was like a cafe rather than a comfy bar area to relax in.

Super Frühstücksbuffet, sonst Ausbaufähig
Pros:

Das Hotel kann sich wirklich mit dem Frühstücksbuffet und dem Personal beim Frühstück schmücken! Auch wenn das Frühstück im Keller stattfindet und ich anfangs eher negativ eingestellt war hat mich der Raum überrascht- die Fenster mit den alten Steinmauern sind einzigartig.
Auch die Lage ist top! Bushaltestelle gleich vor der Tür. Paar Meter zum Strand und zu den Strandbars.

Cons:

Wir hatten eines von den zwei größeren Zimmer mit Dachterrasse. Wir wussten, dass diese nur Teilrenoviert sind aber ich habe mir trotzdem etwas besseres vorgestellt und auch sauberer.
Das Personal war nie auf der Terrasse um dort sauber (Aschenbecher, Liegen) zu machen, leider hatten wir schon seit Tag 1 einen Fleck im Spannleintuch und dieses wurde nie gewechselt, auch die Bademantel sahen schon sehr verbraucht aus.
Einmal wurden auch die Hand&Badetücher vergessen.
