The Ramada is Canberra's best kept secret for inner south stays
Pros:

The Ramada Diplomat is a gem in a central location. The staff provide exceptional service and nothing is too difficult for them. The ambiance of the hotel is peaceful and relaxing and we always enjoy our free welcome drinks and quality happy hour wines. The decor is a little dated, but that's part of its charm. The rooms are large, clean and very comfortable. Free onsite parking, close to everything and better value for money than most of the other hotels in the same vicinity. Great for business or family stays.

Very Comfortable
Pros:

The accommodation was perfect, very clean, a really comfortable bed, Appelles toiletries which are lovely (million times better than the "degreaser" that you get in some places"), quiet, easy parking, close to Kingston shops, reasonably close to the National Triangle and within walking distance to the Three Mills Bakery.

I have stayed here previously and will again.

Enjoyable stay
Pros:

We found the hotel very good and excellent value. Quiet from outside traffic together with dark rooms made two very enjoyable nights of sleep. Although the hotel is showing some signs of age, the facilities are still very good. Underground parking is a bonus.

Canberra getaway with Galleries.
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay in a KingRoom. Bed comfortable and large spacious room. I felt the decor reds to be re-worked as it is a bit dated. But otherwise an enjoyable stay.

A quiet private stay.
Pros:

We had a great stay at the Ramada. The location was very convenient, with easy access by car and only a short drive to anywhere we needed to go in Canberra. The 24‑hour check‑in was invaluable as we arrived very late, and we really appreciated being allowed a late checkout.
Our room was large, clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The overall atmosphere of the hotel felt calm, private, and peaceful, which made it easy to relax after a long day. The beds were comfortable, and all the amenities we needed were provided.
The value for money was excellent, especially for a family of four adults. Overall, a comfortable, well‑located hotel with great flexibility and a quiet, relaxing environment. We would happily stay again.

Amazing Experience and Lovely Staff
Pros:

Amazing stay and that was made possible due to the amazing team they had. We were welcomed with a smile, the staff from check-in to the kitchen and everyone in between is humble, caring, always smiling and genuinely interested in ensuring you are being looked after.

Highly recommend!

Friendly Staff, but Housekeeping Needs Improvement
Pros:

I stayed for two nights. On the morning of the second day, I placed all the used towels on the edge of the bathtub, expecting them to be replaced. I was quite surprised to return that evening and find the same used towels hung back on the shelves, with no fresh towels provided.

Having travelled to many countries, I assumed it was common practice that towels placed together after use would be replaced. I was not convinced by the explanation that only towels left on the floor would be changed.

While the staff were generally friendly and helpful, the housekeeping service was disappointing. The hotel is not new, and combined with the substandard housekeeping, it made it difficult to feel that the room was truly clean.

Delicious Dining + Relaxing Atmosphere = will stay again!
Pros:

Another great stay at Ramada Diplomat! The location is excellent, and parking is easy and free. I really enjoy the overall atmosphere of the hotel. While it’s not brand new, the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean, and the air conditioning works well. We had dinner at the restaurant, and it was the best meal of the weekend—delicious and excellent value. This is definitely one of my top places to stay in Canberra, especially if you’re travelling with family or friends. Highly recommended!

Restaurant - expensive and small serves
Pros:

Did not stay there but went to the restaurant with my family. We live locally and used to go there about 10 years ago and used to enjoy it.
Not so this time. The prices are very expensive and the servings are very small. My wife had the barramundi. I've never seen such a small serve. We complained and were given a bowl of fries on the house. Still hungry when we left. We won't be going back. The only positive is the service was good.

Love this hotel
Pros:

This hotel has super friendly staff, the room was really beautiful in the colour scheme, and spacious. It's in a good location, and was quiet, despite a busy road outside. Loved having a couple of swims in the pool, gym equipment is good. Had 2 breakfasts, and 1 room service dinner, all were delicious! Total value for money.
