Diamonds Guest House

Good value for the price, affordable and friendly service

A bit overpriced for what it was and it's location. The pub across the road was great though

Great check in, room was immaculate. grandchildren loved the room. lots of shops and cafe shops. A lovely pub opposite which serve’s lovely food. the only downfall is no breakfast

Overall this was a good place to stay with some negatives. Nice spacious room. Good location about half hour walk to York centre or else 15 min bus trip. note buses 11 and 26 go about every 40/50 mins. look on bus stop opp guest house for bus timetable more up to date than that in guest book. I liked location as more like where regular people live in leafy suburb. Pubs nearby also nearby park Rowntree v nice plus shops nearby. Towels are in wardrobe when you arrive. A negative was that the reception was not manned when I arrived. You need to ensure you bring a mobile phone with you when you arrive as if no one answers door bell, you need to ring a number listed outside and then receive two codes to let you into the main door and your room. Only then will you get a key pass card. In my four day visit I never saw a person on reception. It is run like an airnb. However I still liked my overall stay and the room which had a fridge. I did ask for housekeeping first day but room not cleaned which was not a big problem really. I would be happy to return. Several pubs nearby Winning Post and Swan. Overall York has quite pricy restaurants but you can get £10 breakfast at Baileys in Museum Street in centre, Also there are two Weatherspoon pubs in York. There are places to eat a short walk to shops near guesthouse. In summary, good value for money.
