Reviews of Diplomat Club Hotel 5 stars

The hotel is in a leafy residential location about a 20 minutes' walk to downtown. The grounds are lovely, and the pool enjoyable on a hot summer day. My room was very large, a change from most European city hotels.

The rooms (at least mine) desperately need updating, or at the very least maintaining. The mattress was uncomfortable (lumpy, saggy), several lights didn't work, the blinds in the bathroom were not functional, etc. I did finally get maintenance to fix the overhead bathroom light. Staff, while generally pleasant, are not very well trained; nor are they service-oriented, perhaps not surprising in a former Soviet country. The restaurant seemed under-staffed and breakfast (starting only at 8 AM!) was excruciatingly slow. A solid 3 star hotel.

The room was spacious, the swimming pools were excellent, and the restaurant served great food. Breakfast was also very good

we faced challenges with the language delivery to the room no service to assist. The price also seemed on the higher side.

The location is in one of the best areas of Chisinau, in a neighborhood with ambassador houses and other fancy villas. It is 10 mins on foot away from the "Valea Morilor" park. The building itself is a group of 2-3 historical houses, renovated in good taste and modernised. The complex has two swimming pools, a restaurant that serves fabulous food, very relaxing and quiet area. What I loved: - the neighborhood - the room is huge, with sofas and confortable chairs - breakfast is en carte and you can choose some delicious recipies. I loved the recipie of Eggs Benedict, but the american style pancakes were great as well - the resting area by the pool is confortable, you can order some drinks if you're at it - the staff went out of their way for us to feel comfortable. Very nice people! - the value for money is very good

- the pressure of hot water for the top floor is quite low - they are also organizing private events in the summer afternoons, so when I arrived the parking lot was full. There's plenty of room if you arrive early, or when there are no events booked. - the area is around 30 mins on foot and 10 mins by taxi from the city center. It's a trade off, for me it was fine because I loved the location.

Calmness and style,Very nice breakfast even if it was not a buffet

Beautiful location and excellent service. Food and presentation were just yummy!

A bit far from the centre of the city

Room was comfortable Reception and restaurant staff were polite

Looks outdated and old carpets Restaurant to have breakfast was not in the main building and a walk all the way to another building in the back area Location was not that close to city centre

The staff is very nice and the breakfast was WONDERFUL. The grounds are beautiful. The pool was lovely.

The air conditioner in Room 8 is quite LOUD AND DID NOT COOL THD ROOM ADEQUATELY. THIS WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE PAID A HIGH PRICE. I asked if we could switch rooms, but the front desk said all the rooms were full.

Great place with pools

no elevator

there were 2 pools - one for kids and one for adults. plenty of shade, and the room we stayed in was comfy and large enough for us all (2 with a kid).

Breakfast was great, but we arrived when there were lots of guests from conference that was hosted there, and therefore it took a lot of time to serve us. one guy even yelled at the waiter for taking more than half an hour to get him his breakfast. other meals are very costly, and there is no dishes that are aimed for kids in the menu. the sofa that turned to bed was not comfortable at all, and in fact even a bit dangerous for our 5 year old, who got scratched by it often.

The hotel was large and

The Diplomat Club was an experience. Big and very clean rooms. I liked the location, around 15 or 20 min walk to lots of bars and restaurants. The pools area meant you could relax. Staff were largely friendly, and smiled more when you got to know them and talked. Breakfasts were superb and extensive choice.

Na

outside 2 swimming pools plus garden where you can stay outside and relax in a nice part of the city

breakfast = very good but start at 08h00 to work ; this morning i have to leave at 08h30 and i did not get any think to eat, even a simple croissant, even if i ask them to give fast at 08h00. bed is medium. decoration starts to be obsolete. but volume, space and well being is very ok

The restaurants are amazing, great food and servers. Hands down!

Amenities are great. Pools are very cold though. The rooms are super outdated. Very old carpets and furniture, everything is falling apart. Worn out towels/bed sheets, super uncomfortable beds. TV was acting up as well. For this price, you can get a much newer hotel in downtown. The receptionists are not at all friendly or welcoming either. We would never return. Overall, we were very disappointed.

Good location - 20 minute walk to the beautiful lake and park. City center is walkable. Room was clean, AC worked well, breakfast was fine. Rooms are soundproofed enough. Good value for money. Minibar could use more local options.

This is not a 5-star hotel. Maybe 20 years ago. Terrible mattress - very uncomfortable. No elevator. Everything looks outdated and poorly decorated. Restaurant menu is awful - had dinner once, big mistake. Staff aren't particularly friendly. Decent location with good value, but the hotel is living in the past. Fine if you just need a clean place to sleep and won't spend much time in the hotel. Don't expect luxury.

Junior suite's are huge and very well equipped with efficient air-con. It was like staying in a small palace. Towels, bedding, rugs, paintings, decor and furniture of a very high quality. Wonderful shaded grounds, 2 pools, extended gardens, great dining areas inside and outside. These include individual and separate, covered dining spots in the gardens, all well served by staff. Lovely breakfast with a good selection of hot and cold foods. Parasols, swimming and shaded areas a huge bonus when the city is hot. Friendly and attentive staff, very laid back and calm atmosphere. Quirky items throughout gardens, metal lizard, scorpion and bicycle to name a few. Will definitely return when next in Chisinau. Loved it !!

Having to leave !!!!

Outstanding breakfast. Thank you.

Helpful. Super comfy beds!

Nothing

Big nice room with big bathroom

There was no hot water…we were there with our baby, 1year and 8 months old…best we had at 6 in the morning or late night was just barely heated just so we, as adults, could take a cold shower…we were told the hotel was full and to wait and take shower later but that was not true, hot water never came.

Nice quiet location in upmarket residential area outside centre of town.
