Diamonds Inn

Positives first…. Friendly helpful staff. Comfy beds and great location. Centre just a short walk away. Now for the negatives…. Room not very clean. En-suite had shavings in front previous occupant,bin in bedroom had not been emptied,bed bases dirty and grubby looking,can hear noise from other rooms,and the worst of all was the smell of drains coming from the bathroom. Unfortunately this severely affected our stay and we would not return and do not recommend this place to stay. Also the guest handbook is just a list of things you will be charged extra for ie if you eat a takeaway in the room you will be charged £25! And so on so we didn’t feel comfortable or able to relax in case we spilt something and were charged for it! Just didn’t feel comfortable here..

Good value!

Location was a little far from the main area but was still walkable. About 10 to 15 mins walk, which I deem good cos its quieter. Due to building being very old, we literally can hear people climbing up and down the stairs at night and it's very bad. First night was worst, as we had neighbours who are super noisy, make a fuss and created fire alarm at 2am in the morning. Water pressure was very bad. And the water heating for shower is the worst I ever encountered. It's either too hot, or too cold. I have to turn on and off while bathing so not to either freeze or burn myself. Not forgetting the shower area is small, and opening and closing the shower cubicle door is tad too difficult, I almost slipped while opening it. It's too stiff! Basin was also small and that I can't fill the kettle properly. Kettle was small too! 😅 Had to boil 2 times to fill my hot water tumbler. Have to give a little compliment to the receptionist though. We manage to check in late though as train was delayed but the receptionist messaged us to give us the code and placed the room card in the room before we reached and also allow us to place our luggage after checked out while we continue roaming the city before the next train. Ooh yes, the Diamonds Inn is OYO Diamonds Inn on Google. A little confused as I thought its different hotel.
