I booked this hotel via Wotif.com as it was great value and 5 star for a weekend away. The rooms are very quietm, modern, the bed very comfortable and the service very good. It is a great place to stay and is very well located to everything. The cake shop around the corner is open late if you want a quick snack!!

The shower did leak but the advised they were looking to fix this issue soon. Apart from that small issue it is a greta place to stay

We stayed at the Diamant over NYE and really liked the hotel.
Check-in was efficient and friendly. Staff at reception was always very kind and helpful when we asked about places to go, restaurants, etc.
The rooms are great, very modern and stylish with large flat TV, DVD player and I-Pod docking station (loved that!) and a large very comfortable bed. It did not at all feel like staying at an office building.
When we arrived the safe was not working, but that was fixed immediately.
On NYE we had a bottle of spakling wine, flowers and a CD in the room which I found very nice. Also prices for things from the mini bar and internet were very moderate.
Breakfast in the restaurant Penny Lane's was very good.
First we were a little sceptical as there were not too many people in the restaurant, but we gave it a try and it was really good. They do not have too many things to choose from and you should not be in a rush as they prepare things freshly but everything we tried tasted really great and was prepared with best, fresh ingredients.
If you look for a fast and cheap alternative for breakfast there is a Holiday Inn just around the corner where you can have the full brakfast buffet for less than AUD20.
I did not like the location of the hotel too much, as I did not find the surrounding Kings Cross area too attractive....but a lot of interesting sites that you might want to visit are within walking distance and bus and train stops are also quite close.
The hotel was really great and I would definatly go back there.

After reading the reviews, I feel sorry for the International travelers who will think this hotel is what Sydney has to offer. Were thay staying in the same hotel ?

In a converted office building in KINGS CROSS(not potts point), after navigating your way from the carpark you eventually reach the tiny foyer.

Keeping an open mind, we asked for our room and then the real problems started. The rate we were quoted and the rate they tried to charge were diffrent. The receptionist said there was nothing he could do and sugested if we didn't like it we should stay elsewhere. (It was a hot day but still no excuse for rudeness)

The key cards didn't work and we both returned to the lobby to get the 'now what look'. My husband was talking to other guests having problems with the water pressure and they wern't happy.

Finally in the room, the Plasma TV didnt work, there was no air flow and the furniture was from a flat pack box.

Not 5*, Not even 4*, possibly 3 * .It is unfortunate that Hotels can make claims like 5* !

We asked for a guest feedback form and were told they ran out. You get the feeling no one cared.

Diamant - Don't do it !

Recently stayed for a couple of nights and very pleased with this hotel. The rooms are very trendy and modern and the TV is huge. Check-in was efficient and friendly. Bed was really comfortable – an absolute must when we travel on business.

I think that this is really Kings Cross and not Potts Point as advertised by the hotel, however, in saying that the location is excellent. It is a 2 minute walk to Kings Cross station and our stop (Town Hall) was only 2 stops away. There is a myriad of places to eat within close proximity and there is a Coles (for overseas visitors, this is a large grocery store) open until midnight every night. OK, the notorious area of Kings Cross is also just a short walk away, however, the area has really cleaned up and this just adds to the colourful scenery of the place!

Couple of minor bad points:
- Very expensive food on the room service menu (even in hotel terms) and quite limited as to variety. For a non-meat gnocchi dish, I think the price was around $30.
- The servicing of the room was not done until after 3pm one day which was a bit of a pain as we had left in the morning for meetings and had to endure housekeeping servicing the room while we were there.

We usually stay in the financial district of Sydney while on business, however, the value for money was hard to pass up and this will be on our preferred hotel list from now on.
