Charming hotel with very good hotel facilities but only OK rooms. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were surprisingly good. Very nice lobby area with tables and bar and cheerful and big living room. In the basement quite a big and decent discotheque. Also in the basement a spa and ski storage room. The rooms were average, with typical no frills scandinavian modern furniture and decoration. A very simple, though spacious bath room. Most annoying was that the rom temperature is way too hot and that it is not possible to adjust the room temperature other than by opening or closing your window. I saw a pulldown wall-mounted bed but that will turn your room in to a wall-to-wall 4 person bed, very cramped. WiFi is free, but when you are on the first floor, near the elevator at the far end the signal was limited. For single or couples that do not plan to spend any time in their room other than for sleeping and showering I can recommend this hotel.

Best location in ¿¿re! Nice bar/lounge to hang around for post skiing drinks.The room (double with extra fold down bed) had a large and comfortable bed. Room is quite cramped, especially with the fold down bed in use. Some wear and tear. No individual temperature control in the room - we found it way to hot and had to sleep with the window open which made it a tad to cold early in the morning.Service is adequate and friendly but with a certain lack of enthusiasm.

Good rooms and nicely clean. The rooms are, at least 401, a bit dated and somewhat not suffcielty insulated against noice from the noice outside.The room is however perfect if you travel with kids. Breakfast is good, not fantastic. Location is the best in ¿¿re, steps from the old lift and in the hart of the restaurants.

We stayed at the Diplomat Hotel in Are during the summer, and it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The hotel looked completely charming and welcoming as we were walking up to it, fulfilling every fantasy of a cute and cozy cottage in the mountains. We found the same warm and welcoming ambiance in every aspect of the hotel, from the extremely friendly and helpful desk staff during check-in, to the well-appointed but charmingly rustic room, to the cozy lobby and front sun room that invited us to relax and watch the activity along the street in front of the hotel.The best part of our stay at the Diplomat was the fact that it almost felt like we were honored guests at the stately home of very good friends. During the four days of our stay, we were on a first-name basis with several of the staff members, who not only provided impeccable professional service, but also offered tips on what to see and do in Are and even told us about what life was like in Are during the high and low seasons. Granted, we stayed there right at the beginning of the summer season, when both the hotel and the city were not very busy--but the fact that the staff went out of their way to make us feel at home really made our stay special.The location of the Diplomat could not be better, right on the main street of the town (although you don't need to worry--the "main street" of Are is far from a major thoroughfare). You can walk from the hotel to all of the good restaurants and shops in town, as well as the ski lifts. (I should mention that you can use the ski lifts in the summer to ride to the top of the hills for the views and for some great hiking.)As I said, the room had an appealing rustic mountain decor, but with very high-end linens and toiletries which made it more of a luxury experience. The room was large and airy, with a spectacular view of both the mountains and valley. I should also note that although Are is known as one of the premier ski destinations in Sweden, it is a lovely place for a summer retreat. The temperature is cool and pleasant and the hiking is spectacular. One thing we weren't prepared for is the number of mountain bikers. In case you weren't aware, Are seems to be the mountain biking capital of Sweden. No need to worry, however--they don't seem to stay at the Diplomat!

We stayed for 1 week skiing (booked with Nielson) in this Hotel. Rooms vere good size, clean and quiet, large drying cabinett, tea and coffee facilities were in the room.Very nice breakfast room, good selection for breakfast. Everyone speaks excellent English, and most staff is very helpfull. The spa facilities were small but very clean as everything and adaequate, with Dry Sauna (male and female seperated, so no family sauna) and a swimming pool.My husband has arranged for massae which was very good and I used the spa as well and was very happy with the treatment. The only downside was the dinner arrangements. We have booked half board, and were told dinner was served only between 7 and 8 pm. There was no choice, it was a 2 course set dinner, good quality and very tasty, but no salad bar or bread which seemed to be quite strange for the class of hotel. We managed to get dinner later on some days by prior arrangement, as we wanted to go for some other afternoon - early evening events, which made it impossible to attend dinner at the prescibed time. Although the staff was helpfull and tried to accommodate it felt very uncomfortable as it was asking them doing us a favour we were not entiteled to. But knowing this now, we would probably go back but choose B&B only.
