I have stayed at the minster Hotel several times, each occasion has been the same experience – excellent.
The hotel has its own parking on site, staff are friendly helpful and well informed… And just a short stroll from the centre of York and the Minster. Excellent breakfast finish off the deal, definitely recommended!
The staff was really friendly and the room was lovely, the bed could have fit 4 grown adults in it and im on the chunky side, so plenty of space, lovely wolk in shower, and no need to worry if you've forgotten your, showe gel/shampoo/condition as they have bottle despensers full in the bath room waiting for you, the parking is gated with a code for safe secure parking up to 1pm even aftr check out so was able to leave the car while we went site seeing and then come back and drive back hom.
Enjoyed the stay very much
Room was great as were the staff
Liked that it was central and close to everything and that there was car parking
We will stay again
Very friendly homely hotel. Excellent breakfast and the staff were fantastic. Very handy to walk into York. Car parking bonus !
Bit dated but adds to the charm
In need of a makeover . Staff are lovely . Rooms tired , worn out and in some areas dirty . Need a deep clean .
Charged for parking even though i searched hotels with free parking .
Would not say £170 for a run down room particularly good value .
TV remote so worn you could not see what buttons are what .
Not sure we would stay again
We stayed one night and wish we could have stayed longer. All staff were very polite and very helpful. The hotel was clean. Breakfast was just amazing. Lots of choices. We will definitely be back.
The room was ok, the bed a bit hard for my disabled wife. We had room 5, on the first floor and we had a fridge but then my wife pointed out it was the bathroom. No heating whatsoever. Breakfast excellent. Car parking free unless you book via, for eg Hotels.com, £10.00 a night.
Room was comfortable and decent size. Bathroom was clean and spacious.
Breakfast was excellent and freshly cooked with plenty of choices.
Location for town was a 5 min walk to the city wall and approx 10 minutes walk to The Shambles.
Staff were friendly.
The only minor drawback we thought was the hotel seemed a little tired but didn’t affect our lovely stay at The Minster Hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Friendly hotel, perfectly situated.
We reported a broken toilet seat several times and nothing was done about it despite assurances it would be dealt with. Despite this everyone we spoke to was extremely friendly so I think it was probably just a mix up in house.
The Minster Hotel is perfectly situated for spending time in York, I use a mobility scooter and was able to get in to the city in a matter of minutes.
