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. ##### Cheryl Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Feb 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very nice room short walk into town center very polite and help staff definitely book again ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hodie Jun 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very handy within walking distance of york centre ##### Hodie Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Matthew Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Martin Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### 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](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/00d20086-a393-46bd-9940-b8aef00348db-1751810405336.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Very small room with toilet and sink](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/94821521-d46c-4db5-ad6d-77b175281c97-1751810402963.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Bed and furniture very dayrd](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ca71a3f1-946a-425c-afa0-75d2e1f5127f-1751810405170.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Martin Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Irma Mar 5, 2024 Liked: Staff & service The property is okay but a little bit old.

Basic as it gets, no towels provided, no staff on site, you need a degree to get through security locks, strong smell of cigarette smoke. Plus side: Close to York Minster and the hospital. Nuff said, line drawn and will not be revisiting. ##### Carl Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Antony Apr 3, 2023 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not good !! Arrived and was given wrong room.booked superior room with ensuite and two single beds as was with my daughter and waa given a room with a double bed and had to argue to get another room as that wasnt what i booked.shower cubicle had multiple holes in wall panels ,toilet door had been smashed somewhere along the line and just had a load of filler in the hole ( not flattened or rubbed down), doirway was so small we had to turn side on to go through !! tv didnt work properly picture was badly pixellated, if this was superior room i would hate to see normal room !! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E5C5C9BDB44629463F4A00B8F28690BD52DFAFA91680517637614.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D5A2CA1994ACD38F308FB62C8C1920C5B980C9D21680517637528.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B97839F4FE36CE15DCA0EE89DD242E6B0C6420761680517637638.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CFCDE7304F9AC36D84853D1C1FDAAE46F0713BE11680517636898.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Antony Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Dominic Nov 12, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Shouldn’t allowed to be listed standards are gross I recently booked to stay with you guys Upon arrival I paid an extra £15 to upgrade to a private bathroom which I couldn’t even use to shower because the water overflowed like the drain was blocked and the shower didn’t work properly it kept going scalding hot then freezing cold There were big hairs in the shower too One of the towels had a large brown stain on which I have pictures of so I just used it to dry the floor, disgusting but obvious what it was I had to shower in the sink Then onto the actual room… the bedding was stained and there was an aggressive drugged up lady that came out of a downstairs room who said she lives downstairs and has come off the streets She was slamming doors all night and while I was outside she was aggressive. We didn’t sleep because of worry we even had to ring reception to express our worry and he said don’t worry she’s drunk Why would you have someone like that when you’re trying to run a business She was shouting with loads of her crackhead friends then coming in and out slamming all the doors Complete waste of 70 quid Would like a refund ##### Dominic Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alan Sep 2, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Y ##### Alan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Suwayne Aug 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities The checkin process was annoying.It needs to be revamped.Checkout was seemless though.Didnt see a staff around in case anytg at no time of the day at all. ##### Suwayne Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Aug 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Close to transport and off road parking. ##### Mary Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ashley Jul 26, 2025 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. ##### Ashley Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter Jun 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities As a solo traveller with simple requirements, the property ticked all the boxes - own shower and immediate hot water, toilet, TV, kettle, bed was comfy. Just about close to town. Room was small but perfectly functional. Price was very fair. However - to me it is not made clear that there is no full-time reception. On arrival with no answer of the doorbell I had to ring a mobile number. What if my phone had been flat? This needs to be made very clear, especially for solo travellers. The check-in over the phone worked OK and I got into the room, but it is quite hard carrying bags and receiving instructions on phone about numbers to put on keypads. On arrival into my room I wasn't expecting stairs down and didn't see them as I was on phone receiving instructions as to where keycard was in room. If you want to go fully remote, these instructions could surely just be emailed on day of planned arrival? So very serviceable room, building/decor needs a bit of TLC and remote check-in needs to be streamlined. ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities This was right on a bus line and close to York center. Room was small but fine for just sleeping in. ##### Patricia Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dai May 9, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service Didn't get the door code before arrive. ##### Dai Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### PAUL Feb 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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 ##### PAUL Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Megan Feb 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Could be better Room was small. The shower was an add on in the room. Door didn’t shut, toilet was cold and the bed was extremely hard, instructions to get in were not great stood on the door waiting for 10 mins ##### Megan Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terance Dec 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Diamond Villas stay Clean and tidy.

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. ##### Alison Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ellie Jul 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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 ##### Ellie Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Zuzanna May 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I was staying in the property for four nights, spending most days sightseeing. For a double room it was a bit cramped, but for a single traveller on a tight budget perfectly sufficient. The room was equipped with an electric kettle and a mini-fridge, which was convenient for a few day stay. The room also contained a well-stocked toilet (which however needs a hook for a towel) and a shower cabin opening to a room - not what I expected but not really a problem (if you can figure out how to set water temperature). I found opening the front and room doors with a card very practical and easy. Property is in general quiet, but other guests can be heard. Most of York attractions are located within 20-30 minutes walk from the property and personally I found no need for public transport in this town, I happily hiked all over it. And a tip for future guests: on your way to York Minster you will pass Aly's Bakery: their San Sebastian cheesecake is heavenly, not to be missed! ##### Zuzanna Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ryan Dec 10, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Shocking Minging room to be honest Staines on walls .. wall paper hanging off All chrome rusty Shower door covered in grime on seals Whole place had a wierd smell and extractor fan rattled all night.
