Our stay at Diamonds Guest House in York was absolutely amazing! It was our family’s first time visiting York, and the whole experience was truly memorable. The guest house was spotless, tidy, and very comfortable. The location was perfect and easy to find, plus it’s just a short drive to the town centre, which made exploring York super convenient. The price was very affordable too, so it’s great value for money. The staff were so friendly and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We loved every bit of our stay and can’t wait to come back again. Definitely recommend Diamonds Guest House to anyone visiting York!

Fantastic Guesthouse

Had a fantastic nights stay at this guesthouse and already looking at booking again. Room was great, tea and coffee making facilities along with shower gel, shampoo and plenty of towels. Check in was easy…just one phone call and code was given to gain entry to property. Can’t wait to visit again.

Would have been much better if some sort of breakfast was on offer. No reason was given for not allowing alcohol. Room basic but tidy, reasonably well situated.

There's hardly any reference to parking space!!!!...I drove 6 hours through heavy congestion and found a place in the Guest Houses' designated space and then discovered that guests have to pay for that..and as nobody was around on site to ask how to pay was unsure if i would get a fine..so I found myself creeping out at 3.45 a.m. to put my car in a free overnight car park not 5 minutes walk from the place!!! Very bad!!! Also, checking in at 7.45pm there was nobody there to let me in and I panicked as I had to wait 5 minutes for a reply...but the woman was very kind and explained how to get in etc. The room was lovely and clean and there was plenty of tea and coffee to drink. There should be a plug next to the bed to charge the phone too. Shower was excellent! Bed was excellent too!

I couldn't fault the guest house on it's service, location and the room, although I was disappointed with two things. Firstly, the check in. As I was checking in late, the hosts had been really kind and contacted me, who then provided me the self-check in codes. Upon checking in, I can then use an electronic card to replace the codes when entering the guest house and my room. The code provided didn't work. Luckily two guests came back at the same time when I was locked out outside and on the phone with the host, who kindly helped me and ensured I got to my room. I then went back out to get food. On return, the electronic card did not work. Called the host again, who then provided the electronic code for the entrance again. That's when we found that the code provided earlier was incorrect. There was a later message to my phone to say the code was incorrect though. So overall, I had a card which did not function properly. When I finally got to bed, there was a constant noise coming from somewhere within the building. It was like a boiler or generator kind of motor engine sound. Even with my ear plugs on (which a guest shouldn't be wearing these to sleep), I was still able to hear it. It was still on when I left next morning. Needless to say, I didn't sleep well. The lack of parking was mentioned on booking. The hosts allow guests to park on their designated parking space at a cost. Considering the parking fees elsewhere in city centre, it's only reasonable.
