Guest reviews for Diplomat Hotel Canberra
Comfortable bed and an amazing shower with fantastic water pressure. Property was clean and easy to access. Secure parking was a bonus.
I noticed there was rarely anyone at the bar/cafe during the day. It would have been nice to get a coffee or a drink in the afternoon when I returned to the hotel.

Value for money stay in Canberra. Close to Manuka, the National Gallery of Australia and other attractions. The room was clean, comfortable and well presented.

Hello there, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. I am disappointed to hear that you found our check in a bit bland, we are going to provide a follow up for training so we can improve it for you. I am really glad to see you enjoyed the restaurant's food. There is an air-con system for the restaurant, however, due to the shape of our building its only one one of the sides of the restaurant space. It is understandable that during this hot week, the restaurant and actually our entire hotel was warmer than usual. This will definitely improve over the next few days, when the temperature drops. Hopefully we will have you staying again back with us. Warm regards
Easy location in Canberra. Easy parking. Quiet, neat, clean and lovely staff.
