“Good option for a night out in Darlinghurst”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2013 via mobile

We stayed here on a Saturday night in early January. We were having dinner on Victoria St in Darlo so this was a convenient location. The outside of the hotel isn't great, but the rooms were fabulous - spacious, modern, comfiest beds and a great shower. We faced the road and couldn't hear any noise outside. Would definitely recommend this ahead of other hotels in the area if you like a modern sleek hotel room. Not quite the atmosphere of the Canberra hotel, but very good.

“Very comfortable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013

This was my second visit to the Diamont Hotel and I really enjoyed it. The beds are wonderful, the rooms are big, clean and warm. The bathrooms have a huge open plan shower... the water flows down like a rainstorm. The location is wonderful, an easy 15min walk from the CBD and moments from great places to eat, drink and relax in Potts Point / Kings Cross / Elizabeth Bay.

Parking is not available in the hotel, it's in another building and rather complicated to get in and out, you need to walk around the back of the hotel and it's not so safe in the evenings especially if you are alone lugging your luggage. Parking is expensive in Sydney so try to avoid parking at all if you can.

The hotel offers very good value for money.

Dear Mancini_BXL,

It is wonderful to read that you enjoyed staying at our hotel for a second time now.
We always love to hear positive feedback, and this time is no exception.

I apologise about the parking situation. We do have limited parking available onsite which is only $35 per night. It does need to be booked in advance however, and for those that miss out the parking station nearby is only a short walk away.

We hope to welcome you back again soon, and will ensure that we have a parking space available.

All the best,
The Diamant Team

“Great time”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

We stayed here over the New Years period. I would say our stay was good, but not great. The front desk was nice and polite, and housekeeping was excellent and timely. The wifi didn't work well in my room although it would connect in the hallway.

The location was good for us and although there are alot of clubs and bars nearby, I don't recall any street noise being heard in my room and had no problem sleeping on a very comfortable bed.

I knew there wasn't a restuarant, which is OK because there are plenty of places to eat closeby. But one microwave in someone's office seems a little strange. So you shouldn't want to warm food up in a hotel?

Dear DanH22,
It is very good to hear that you had an enjoyable stay with us over new years.
I apologise for the WiFi signal not working appropriately, though we have been monitoring this of late and have resolved our network issues. I am confident that your return will note a great improvement in the quality of this service.

We are hoping to reopen the restaurant very soon, though as you mentioned there are many great restaurants nearby that are fantastic temporary substitutes.

We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

All the best,
The Diamant Team.

“Great Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We were early yet it was no problem for them to take our luggage leaving us to walk around freely.
The room was clean, gorgeous bathroom and the bed, wow, so comfortable.
From the vicinity the hotel we were able to walk or catch public transport to where we were going.
The only prob, I wish hotels would have fresk milk in the fridge for a cuppa.
Thanks

“Not too bad”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

This is my second week at Diamant. Decor showing its age & needs a refresh, but comfy beds & aircon, that worked superlatively on the hottest day for decades, meant restful sleep. There is adequate room & cupboard space for the business traveller. The big plus at this place is Joseph on reception, who is friendly, polite &, best of all, helpful. I'm a happy bunny, but then again I'm not paying for this stay, which was arranged by the company.

Room Tip: Free wifi is good but signal is stronger at the front of the building. Ethernet connection works fin...
