Having stayed at the Diplomat a number of times over many years we have not been disappointed and as our goal was some shopping at Fyshwick for the DFO this seemed the obvious place to stay once again. We were not disappointed. If we have to look for something they are very, very monior issues - no plug for the... More

First impressions at Reception was the very friendly and helpful welcome we received (it's also a long time since we've been given a 'normal' key to the room).

Our room was right next door to the kitchen (1008) with the door facing the dining area. Soundproofing needs to be improved in this particular room. We could clearly here conversation of late night diners and to a... More
