Roberto

The best part of our experience were the wonderful gentlemen at the front desk, Luca, Giancarlo and Roberto. I don't know how we would have managed without their assistance. We left the hotel after 2 days to take a side trip to Florence and could not wait to get back to our hotel Diplomatic and the amazing personal service we received.

Marcky

The hotel has a perfect location to all the necessities. All the sites were in walking distance and the bus was right outside the front door. The people at the desk had excellent recommendations for great restaurants and was very conscious about even getting us a cab to go to the airport. They spoke English so communication was easy. Very good and comfortable experience.

The Hotel Diplomatic, which has been entirely refurbished, offers 45 air conditioned rooms, elegantly and stylishly furnished; great attention has been paid to detail, from the choice of materials to the finishings. On the first floor there is a large patio, an outdoor space full of light, a quiet ideal place in which to relax and unwind. The hotel features an internet point and free Wi-Fi internet connection in every room. The Hotel is right next door to the imposing and monumental Castel Sant’Angelo, originally built by the Emperor Hadrian as his mausoleum and which, over the centuries, became first a military fortress and then papal residence.

maybe to add some standard vegetables for breakfast. But! it doesn't influence the impression of breakfast in general, it was very nice )
Great location, not more than 10 minutes to get to all places of interest. Nice place to stay for beginners of Roma exploration. Quiet center of the city. Easy to reach from Termini station.

There were few little things like the bathroom was not fully equipped, there were no slippers, there were only a couple of power outlets and even those not situated comfortably.
The service was excellent! Special gratitude to Mr. Giancarlo, who fulfilled with swiftness and readiness any request we made! He was extremely welcoming, kept offering his assistance and even arranged a packed breakfast to take with us as we had to leave very early in the morning.

All was great. Personal was very friendly, especially personal in a restaurant during breakfasts. We loved this kind women, who proposed us something to eat even when we were late for the breakfast :) Administrators were also very friendly, smiling and supportive. We asked for the quiet room, and we got it, even though the hotel is located on the big street in a center of the city. Every day our room was cleaned well.

It needs a complete refurb. Everything about the decor is tired. The rooms are small, and two open suitcases take up most of the floor space. The lighting is awful. Simply replacing the worn out fluorescent lights with brighter LED lamps would make a dramatic difference, and would pay for itself within a year or two. There is no hotel bar, or decent lounge to have a drink in. Breakfast was included, and the staff were friendly, but you’d better like toast or cereal. There are no eggs. We took no photographs of the interior, as it wasn’t worth photographing. We booked it on the basis of the pictures on line, but the film was nothing like the book. We left after three nights, having paid for seven.
The location was excellent, and the bed large and supremely comfortable.
