Diamonds Villa

Two stays, and both times I had to phone for the entry codes - and another guest had the same issue. I think something in the link with the new, amalgamated Hotels/Expedia/etc site is going missing. Other than that, it's a pleasant place to stay. Can be noisy at times - bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. And if you need parking, best book it - there aren't many spaces.

Great stay at Diamond Villa in York—clean, comfortable, and an easy walk to the city centre and York Minster. Friendly hosts, smooth check-in, and convenient on-site parking available for £7.

Yes

I wasn't sent my access codes, and there is no on-site desk; but when I called the phone number on the door, I got prompt and efficient help. My room was on the cool sie, but the heater they provided remedied that. The mattress was lumpy but manageable. Top up supplies of tea/coffee are easily available. And there is a corner shop almost on the doorstep, and a co-op store 6 minutes walk away. There are 4 parking spaces; it may be possible to request use of a permit for street parking I was mystified by the emphatic ban on alcohol in rooms.
