Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Shining Diamond is frequently praised for its location, being less than a 5-minute walk from the seafront, right by the Tower and Central Pier, making it central to everything. Guests often find the rooms clean and tidy, equipped with amenities like a kettle, tea, and coffee, although some have noted that certain rooms can be on the smaller side or above the kitchen. A highlight for many is the lovely cooked breakfast, described as a first-class start to the day.

small room strong smell

The room I had was quite small. I found the placement above the kitchen unfortunate. Strong smells of breakfast permeated the air early each morning! It made for an unwelcome wake-up call, indeed.
