It was a dark and stormy night (heard that somewhere before) when we arrived at our hotel, The Kirketon in Darlinghurst Road only to find that it was closed for renovations. Bugger! I thought, what to do? Searching through our confirmation sheet we found a telephone number and dialled with all fingers crossed. Out of the pouring rain came a Knight in shining armour. He did not carry a lance, but 2 huge umbrellas. "Follow me" he said with a great big smile. And this was our first introduction to Adrian from the Diamant Hotel. "Sorry about the mix-up" he said appologetically. Imagine our surprise when we walked into the Diamant Hotel. The cleanliness, the professionalism of the staff, the first class amenities soon had us grinning like a lotto winner. Over the next three days we found the standard never waivered. In fact I am happy to endorse the Diamant Boutique Hotel in Sydney as one of the finest we have stayed in. Of course we have stayed in many great hotels around the world but not all of them had the inbuilt charm of the Diamant. Well done Adrian and the staff.
See you again, soon!

We were staying happily at the Diamont's litttle brother, The Altamont Hotel (a 3 minute walk away) when the Altamont's manager told us to stay at the Diamont upon our late return to Sydney because the Diamont has a 24 hour front desk while the Altamont does not. The manager booked our Diamont room for us and gave us the Altamont rate.

The DIamont is a very nice place to stay. The other reviews sum it up nicely: superb superb superb staff and management, great location, phenomenal bed, very quiet room, interesting hallways, etc. etc. We have only good things to say about the hotel. The staff were exceedingly helpful when we needed some guidance on how to spend a free rainy day in Sydney.

We highly recommend the hotel!

I don't usually make the effort to write reviews, but the Diamant offered such a wonderful experience throughout my 3 night stay in Sydney that I feel compelled to write one. Everything went smoothly, service was excellent, and staff were extremely helpful. Yes, they did block off 300 AUD upon check-in, but that's quite a normal practice for most luxury hotels anyway.

Coming in at 6am on an overnight flight, we were granted an early check in when we got to the hotel at about 7.30am. From check-in to the room, the entire process took less than 5 minutes. Great impression already. The bed was extremely comfortable, and in my opinion better than Westin's much touted heavenly bed. Staff gave great tips on how to get to destinations, even looking up the internet on places they are not familiar with. Again, nothing was too much fuss throughout our four days in Sydney. Rooms were cleaned satisfactorily, amenities refilled, everything went great.

After three nights of great service, what more could we expect? Well, my girlfriend left her wallet behind in the room, and we only realised that when we got to the airport to catch our flight to melbourne. This potentially distressing episode was resolved quickly with help from the hotel staff as well. They promptly found the missing wallet, together with her luggage lock which she also left behind, and delivered it to the airport in a taxi. We didnt even feel a need to check that the cash in the wallet was in tact, such was our trust in the hotel. If the hotel management is reading this, please let me say again, thank you Sarah and Adrian, and all other members of staff that made our stay so comfortable.

In sum, my recommendation is, just go and stay there, you won't regret it; the room's more than comfortable, the amenities great, the location convenient (less than 5 min walk to the subway). We'll definitely stay there again if we're back in sydney. Perhaps my only gripe would be why there wasn't foxtel on TV? But that's really nit-picking already.

Finally, it is also worth highlighting that despite being located in the King's Cross/Potts Point area, at no point did my girlfriend and I feel threatened or in danger. Sure the area is crowded at night, but I felt perfectly safe walking through.

Gorgeous king-sized bed, soft down pillows, lovely friendly service and great interior design. We were very impressed by the iPod docking station too. Why is it most hotels think all you want to do is watch movies? We're all about having music on, and could even play CDs in the DVD player.

The carpark situation was a little weird, but we were told it's still kind of under construction.

All in all, amazing value for what we got. We'll be back for sure!
