“Two night visit”
Comfortable and spacious with separate lounge and bedroom
“auca32”
For the price and for a 4.5 stars i was expecting much more: - not very clean room: looked behind the bed and saw it has not been cleaned for a while; - we went for a dinner and I ordered a spaghetti al pomodoro (tomato sauce) from the kids menu for my daugther and they used a hot spicy pre made tomato sauce. I returned the dish and the were unable to replace as they only had hot spicy tomato sauces. They gave her a chicken risoto which was ok. For my wife we ordered an eggplant based dish which were far from fresh. My 450g rib with gorgonzola was as solid as a thick piece of rubber. Absolutely disaster. - the full buffet breakfast however was great! We spent 3 days.
“Diplomat Schliplomat”
I asked for toothbrushes for my family which I assumed would be complimentary in a 4* hotel and not being told otherwise by the reception staff. I paid $20 on check out for 4 lousy throw away toothbrushes. The buffet breakfast was pretty ordinary too.
“Stay away from the Diplomat unless your desperate”
Overall this hotel is dated, old and badly appointed. It really has no positive points to discuss, the rooms inwardly overlook the most awful of restaurants that plays music from 6:30am to 11pm - music that can easily be heard in the rooms, the restaurant is basic to say the least and most people avoided it, the bar is situated in the centre of the restaurant and charges over the top prices for average drinks. The rooms are so old and dated, and mine had a musty smell that made me want to leave, the sound insulation in the hotel is very poor - in the room and bathroom you could both hear others banging around and talking in adjoining rooms. The bathroom was old and the shower head was small, clogged and dirty. The area around the hotel is ok - in the sense that it is a good area - but there is nothing... Overall I felt like I was in a hostel rather than a hotel and I have paid less money in Canberra for a lot more, if you are stuck in Canberra for a room when the Pollies are in town and this is your only option. Cancel your trip. Go another time. Be sick. Anything but stay here.
