Initially we were pleased. The lobby area and adjoining bar looked new, fashionable and cozy, and the fireplace was a welcome relief from the cold. However, The 5 star rating is definitely confined to the lobby. It appears the hotel is various old buildings that have been 'done up' and joined together to create 'The Diamant.' The problem with this... more

Enjoyed 2 nights stay at The Diamant in July. Great foyer & bar areas. Good food from the bistro/restaurant. Rooms are well equipped and warm !! Nice bathrooms with a great shower. Overall, a great new hotel in a handy location. Will definately stay again. more

Who would have thought it was possible to be reminded of Milan in Canberra? Last year I stayed at the nHow hotel in Milan. The Diamant hotel reminded me of my stay there - an entrance with designer furniture, installation art pieces around the hotel, and dark moody interiors in the corridors and bedrooms. This is a great place to... more

Got an excellent rate off Wotif (it was their 5* mystery hotel) and decided to give it a try. Excellent, modern boutique hotel. Wonderful bathroom, and a desk actually suitable for doing work from (I'm a business traveller). Also liked their eatery (not quite a restaurant, but the food was as good as one). Excellent service throughout. more

I could not believe that a boutique hotel of such a high standard was now located in Canberra. The foyer blew me away. Staff were attentive and friendly. Rooms were of a very high standard with a modern twist (Bang and Olfsen TV and sound system). Very comfy beds and pillows--had a great nights sleep. When staying you must pre... more

Stayed at this hotel for four nights last week. Got a special intro rate of $140 per night which is pretty reasonable by Canberra prices. Accomodation in Canberra is pretty scarce during the week and normally over priced for what you get. This hotel is brand new and in fact some rooms are still being worked on. There are a... more

If you want a wonderful stay in Canberra might I suggest the Diamant Hotel. It is a small boutique hotel with wonderful facilities. We enjoyed great meals in the cafe and particularly enjoyed sitting by the log fire reading the newspapers. The room was A1 with a most comfortable bed and all mod cons. The staff coul not have been... more

This new hotel is much better than the average. It's quite a relief to find a hotel in Canberra that I actually like staying in and I don't really have to compromise on anything. I got a really nice room for $160 a night. Very high quality fittings, bathroom and TV. Bedding was particularly comfortable. Cafe for breakfast was excellent... more

I stayed in this unique hotel last week and I am unable to fault it. When arriving in the foyer I was greeted by smiles from the receptionists and very modern decor. A large winged sculpture sat to my left and kind of reminded me of Icarus the Greek god. Check in went very smoothly and I was very surprised... more
