What guests think

Across recent reviews, Hotel Diplomate is praised for its central location and reasonable prices, while feedback is mixed on its dated rooms and facilities, with recurring comments about weak or unreliable Wi‑Fi, ineffective air conditioning, and tram noise.

Many guests compliment friendly, helpful staff, but several report rude or unresponsive reception and inconsistent check‑in information. Cleanliness is generally acceptable, though multiple reviews mention maintenance issues and occasional lapses, including bathroom odors and hair in tubs. Breakfast feedback varies widely—some find it adequate, others poor or overpriced, and items may run low if you arrive late. Expect a simple stay with clear trade‑offs.

L hébergement est plutôt vieillot avec un équipement non fonctionnel comme le mini bar. Pas d’eau chaude le soir du 31/12. L’ascenseur fonctionne avec du dysfonctionnement (panne de lumière). Pour finir la carte de notre chambre qui se désactive à notre retour, le personnel de la réception qui monte en chambre pour nous ouvrir la porte à l’aube du nouvel an. Vraiment pas une bonne expérience. A éviter hormis pour l’aspect géographique qui est avantageux.

Ne correspond pas à un 4 étoiles. L’option petit déjeuné est une arnaque, j’aurai vraiment dut regarder les commentaires. Au lendemain du nouvel an, vers 20h-21h, le réceptionniste dormait sur la table du petit déjeuné !!! Mais on est où là ?! L’hôtel est vieux et pas mal de travaux doivent être réalisés. Uniquement bien par rapport à l’emplacement sinon aucun intérêt.

There was a unique lift, and I could enjoy a traditional hotel life. Initially, meanwhile, there was no hair dryer in the room. I called the front and asked about it, but there was no response. Next morning I caught the clearning staff worker and could get it.

10 minutes walk to city centre, nice hotel with very friendly staffs. Breakfast is continental selections with bacon and eggs, good enough to start our day. The room we stay with nice balcony overview the street. The bathroom is very tidy and clean but a bit old fashion. We saw the room next door with fresh look bathroom, maybe next time should request the renovated bathroom room. Overall very nice hotel.

The stay was excellent. The staff were very polite and well accommodating. Easy lift access. The hotel is well connected with public transportation. A mall just opposite has a coop, pharmacy and a few other things for easy grab. The only issue I faced was the toilet, little less lighting, the loose shower fixture, and the curtains were a little weird. However, I feel the stay was good value for the money.

It was a good stay, staff friendly and generally helpful. We did ask for extra pillows and towels, only 1 bath and 1 hand towel in the room, for two people, but did not receive the asked for items. Hotel in a good location for the train station and central city area. The hotel interior was a little tired but perfectly clean.

No air conditioner as advertised. For the record there is an air conditioner, it does turn on, it just blows warm air at an incredibly low speed, so it does not actually conditions the air. The front desk people were not particularly polite but at least they upgraded me to a larger room, sadly the air conditioner there was just as useless so I had to leave the hotel, only spent one very miserable night there, I left the next morning
