"Great price and a nicely sized room with a resort or student village style layout, featuring separate rooms spread across a large property. It wasn’t as bad as some of the negative reviews suggested, although cleanliness could definitely be improved. While it’s not centrally located in Canberra, the city is relatively small, and it’s a convenient option if you’re driving. Overall, I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, relaxing, and decent place to stay without spending too much."

Great staff really helpful

We really loved the Ramada Diplomat. Not much not to like, in my opinion. It has a beautiful lobby and dining area. It looked like a luxury hotel and felt like one too. We had a ground floor recently refurbished room, and while we were not given a room with a view, our room had a lovely leafy outlook that gave us a visual escape after our days in the busy city.

Was wowed by the size of the apartment, convenient location and value for money. All facilities easy to access and worked fine eg wifi. Bathroom was enormous.

As advertised, a simple room with a hand basin (bathroom not far down the hall) and a communal kitchenette. Scrupulously clean, a massive fluffy bath sheet provided, it was all I needed.
