A very convenient location not far from the city centre. Host contacted us to check check-in time and give property/room codes, so very easy to access. The accommodation and room were a bit shabby: fraying carpets; couldn't reach the Velux to open it without standing on a chair (average height); Velux blind that did not stay down at night so we had to open the window and wedge it in the crack to keep it down; very squeaky rolling bathroom door which woke us up whenever someone wanted to use the bathroom at night; shower was a bit grimy and the sealant needs replacing; light above the mirror did not work; bathroom mirror had not been cleaned - there were toothpaste flecks on it; fridge noisy so had to switch it off at night; very limited space to store clothes. Useful having the kitchen available, though we didn't need to use it. Good amenities apart from only having 3 teabags for 2 people and not enough milk for more than 2 cups. Bed was comfy. USB charging ports by bedside which were useful. Generally felt like things needed updating and cleaning a little better, but otherwise a comfortable stay.

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.

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!

Family trip in York

Nice accommodation in York in residential area, far from train station but nice walking along the old city walls. Hotel check in via phone but everything in easy mode. Room is nice and tidy, comfortable beds and room conditions except the shower facilities, some minor issues on the shower head holder but not affecting our stay. It is recommended if you don’t mind walking about 20mins from station.

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!

Budget getaways.

Great two nights stay at Diamond Guesthouse on Bishopthorpe road. Located in a nice part of York, and very close to the centre of the city. Would definitely recommend it, especially for a family looking for a budget weekend break.

Location OK However the property has rules that are unacceptible such as no food to be consumed in the room no breakfast or food is served by the hotel Last night the owners held a family gathering which became progressively more boisterois and the singing louder especially after 2AM I objected and the noise gradually abated thru to 2.30 AM as I had an early start!!
