It was very clean and the facilities were as described. We had a twin room. It was downstairs next to the front door but it was very quiet in the property. We weren’t disturbed. Good tea and coffee making facilities. Fridge and bottled water provided. Host was on hand when we checked in and explained everything we needed to know. Just stayed on night. Met our needs comfortably. Uber from Betty’s York area around £5 each way. It is walkable too.

Nice stay

The hotel is well located. I stayed in the annexe room at the rear of the building accessed through a small yard at the back. Recently decorated the room was clean, warm and surprisingly quiet. Bed was very comfortable, and a very spacious bathroom with nice thick towels. My only criticism would be that there is a strong smell of new carpet in the bedroom

Great place

After reading some of the negative reviews we were very pleasantly surprised. Staff were helpful and attentive and actually went above and beyond. Overall the property is a little dated and and in one of our rooms the tv wasn't working properly and in another the the lightbulbs needed replacing but it's clean, the beds are comfy and it's close to town. Would definitely stay here again.

York 2024 visit

We enjoyed our stay at the Diamond Villa hotel, for our weekend in York The room we stayed in was clean, although for the 3 of us we found it was a little difficult to move around, however we managed. Thank-you for having us

Property was perfect for the price. Clean and welcoming. Shower was nice and the bed was comfortable. I was able to get in touch with the management on arrival. Tap in the ensuite was cold and despite running for a while, did not produce hot water. The building was subject to some noise pollution and you could clearly hear other guests in other rooms. Other than that, I would book again.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities

Quite poor

We stayed here on 25/07/2025 for one night. We arrived at around 15:30, and after quite a rude interaction with the person on the phone we finally got to our room, to be met by the cleaner who was still cleaning the room despite the fact it should have been ready by 14:00 (check-in time). Once he had finished, the room was still not in great condition. Marks all over the walls, and toilet not very clean. The whole place is just very tired and could do with a refurbishment and almost felt like it was the company's "forgotten property". Also messaged them about how to pay for parking in one of the spaces but never got a reply. Location however was good, about a 20 minute walk to the city centre which was ideal. There is also a couple of convenience shops on the doorstep which is handy. All in all, it is fine for 1 night but wouldn't stay any longer.

Don’t go!!!!

Thinking Diamond Villas sounded good and always wanting to support small business, we booked. Arrived and had to wait for a man to come from next door to let us in. The room was SO small with a shower in the bedroom right next to the bed. The toilet and sink were next to shower behind a door. The room was Clean and a clean bed, but VERY dated and Not worth the £150+ we paid…. Thanks be we only booked for one night. The limited parking was being used, so extra cost to park the car. We opened the window wide and there was a powerful fan, otherwise we would not have stayed as very claustrophobic. Oh and we were told ‘no alcohol in the room or you will be removed and charged £25 for a deep clean’….. Never had this is the MANY holidays we have taken. By far the worst hotel we have ever stayed in - AVOID
Shower right next to the bed
Very small room with toilet and sink
Bed and furniture very dayrd

The property is okay but a little bit old. The cleaning is in the UK standard. The place is 20 min from the city centre in a quiet and safe area.

Perfectly acceptable

The stay was perfectly acceptable for the money paid. The room and bathroom were large enough. The check in was very efficient. Could do with some hooks in the bathroom, but this is by no means the only place I have stayed where these are missing.
