We enjoyed our stay here, it was clean and had everything you needed. The only problem was the shower was either boiling hot or cold. Not sure if this was due to the amount of people staying.

Loved the central location, easy walking distance for everything, properly is currently undergoing some renovations, our room was basic, but clean and comfortable. Check in procedure was difficult for an overseas visitor as the only method was via calling a uk mobile number which we were unable to do with our Australian phones, a simple addition of a doorbell would be great. Another simple addition which would make a big difference would be a mirror in the room close to a power point, so that you can see to dry and style your hair, I ended up sitting in the doorway so I could use the hallway mirror. Otherwise I was very happy with our stay.

Stayed for one night, room had everything we needed. Tea coffee even toiletries. We arrived early morning and the receptionist who greeted us was friendly and very helpful we were able to leave our luggage and then go off for the day. She showed us where to park and only cost £7 for 24 hours. Location was perfect 5 minute walk to inside the walls and the hop on off bus outside the hotel. Nice, quant hotel.

2 adults and 3 young kids so finding a hotel that accommodates all in one room is difficult but I found this little gem. We had a room with one double bed and 3 single beds. Beds really comfortable, room very clean. Tea and coffee making facilities and a mini fridge with bottles of water provided. Plenty of clean towels and small bottles of showergel etc. Only a few minutes walk from the city walls. Great place to stay for the price. Staff were really friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here if you have a family of 5! The kids loved it and wanted to stay in their 'holiday house'. Great base for exploring York. We will definitely return. Thankyou again.

Toilet and heat issues

None of the shared toilets or private toilet in our room flushed. It was incredibly hot on 8th floor with no air flow or air conditioning. Ceiling was slanted so you couldnt stand straight without banging head. I would not go back.

For a budget place to stay, it was adequate. Really good location for a place to stay that's easily walkable to the heart of York. I could feel the springs in the bed, but I slept fine. I recommend anyone who's a light sleeper to request a room at the back - my room was at the front and was very noisy due to traffic. Walls are thin too and I could hear the guests next door's conversations. If the owners read this, I hope you consider adding double glazed windows and nocer mattresses. Also, the shower door (in shared bathroom) didn’t close properly and the bathroom floor got soaked - it didn't affect my stay, but I never saw any staff to be able to report it.

I didn't book direct as their website and reviews worried me, but it was one of few available and affordable rooms when I needed them I was concerned that I was asked to contact them about checking in, but 3 emails and a text elicited no reply. I did find someone in, but reception was a tip, as was outside. The guy on the 'desk' was OK but didn't offer to help with bags. I noted that the venue claimed 'ensuite rooms' outside, but several aren't, the bathrooms are shared up stairs. One had a tiny door and sh,,,, marks and a dirty used towel for a day. No-one took in the used towels in 72 hours I was initially relieved that the hotel seemed quite nice, but then, I read the terms in a booklet. These are as bullying as they are unlawful -they'd said no alcohol, oddly, but now they threaten eviction, no refund, and extra charges -similarly, a ban on takewaays with charges... ...lost keys, bearing in mind the yale locks and how easily one might forget your key card using the bathroom They claimed they'd take from our bank account Hotels. be aware this is unlawful as it's a one-sided nonnegotiated contract, and the terms appear after a contract is made, and it avoids due process and having to provide proof. Hotels then could invent or mischarge or even take revenge on negative reviews. I take being evicted very seriously, and it's unnecessary Diamond 'Inn' is not an inn, it provides no food, drink or anywhere to sit other than the bedrooms I felt stressed; stay spoiled

A true budget option. Located a mile from the rail station and a short distance away from the city centre, so whilst not that convenient it was quiet. The room was cramped with a sloping ceiling and no daily room service, no lift to upper floors. Check-in was unnecessarily complicated. You have to phone a UK number to get the code! Never have I had to do that and I had to make an expensive call from a US phone. They should have advised to call on WhatsApp, or better yet, sent the code in an email as most modern hotels do. Shower pressure was poor, mould on the ceiling and the sink drain smelt. On the positive side, it was clean and they provided an ample tea tray but that's not enough to spur me to stay here again.
