Hi there, I am not sure what the problem is with the language we will investigate. Kind regards,
Nice stay clean and comfortable but some of the fixtures a little on the old side.
Breakfast was good as was the staff and free parking was great as well.

Hi Janette, Thank you for your wonderful feedback, we look forward to seeing you back here again soon! All the best, Juana Munoz
Had to move to another room due to exhaust fan on and unable to be turned off. Water also went off mid-morning. No shower. Had breakfast but little or no food left. Awful. Will not stay here again.

Lovely staff
The Diplomat is always nice, being mid winter we did find our room a little chilly but that is Canberra in August! The staff at The Diplomat more than make up for any of the aging buildings shortcoming from front desk friendliness and helpfulness to the rather exceptional young waitress you can not help but be happy during your stay

Hi there, Thank you very much for your time giving us your feedback. We are looking forward to have you back soon. All the best,
Close to NAG and other Canberra landmarks
Pros:
Close to many major attractions
Cons:
Front desk staff need training. Seemed there were junior staff at the desk on Saturday afternoon. No staff to assist taking bags to 3rd floor.
Location:
Close to The Cartier Exhibition
Nice decor. Good place for families. Large central area for pre dinner drinks We have stayed there a number of times; this time for the Cartier Exhibition which is 5-8 minutes away. Evening meal was convenient as it was quite frosty outside.
