Excellent breakfast with great choice in both buffet style and cooked meal. Bedroom and washroom were both spacious with super shower. Disliked key to get into room as sometimes it didn't work. I often needed help with this. I was on the 3rd floor and had to walk down and back up 28 steps with help for this.

Great weekend away.

The hotel is in a perfect location for exploring York. There is quite a large car park, although it can get a bit tight when busy. The hotel has benefitted from an extensive refurbishnent, which has been very tastefully done. Breakfast was delicious, with a large variety of options, both continental and traditional. Service was first class and friendly. Our room, in the basement, was large with an equally large ensuite. In the sweltering heat, it remained nice and cool. I personally found the huge bed somewhat hard, however my partner loved it. My only criticism would be that being in the basement, the windows could have benfitted from an external clean. If our travels take us back to York we will definitely use The Minster again, we had a great stay.

Top marks for The Minster Hotel.

I arrived around three hours early, but the lovely check-in staff told me my room was ready and allowed me to check in anyway, after I parked my car in the secure on-site carpark. The room was on the top floor, nice and quiet. Well-appointed, very clean and comfortable. Breakfast the next morning was very good, in the lovely restaurant area. I cannot fault The Minster Hotel, and if I'm ever back in York, will try to get accommodation there again.

Great Staff and Hotel in a Great Location

The staff I came across during my stay couldn't have been friendlier, the room was nice and spacious with a lovely modern bathroom. The hotel had a real family vibe to it, I stay away for business a lot and it made a nice change to staying in the chain hotels

The location is excellent and the staff are fabulous. Michelle at reception was very personable. Stewart and Laura provided outstanding service at breakfast. We were disappointed that there were four issues with our room that should not have been that way on our arrival. The most troubling issue was the toilet did not work. We had to clean the toilet on arrival and then discovered it did not flush. They could not fix it until the next day so we had to use the toilet by reception. This was very difficult for someone who deals with IBS. We moved to another room the next day in case the toilet and other issues were not fixed but we did not have access to the new room until after 1:00. We were surprised management did not appreciate the challenges we had and offer some sort of retribution. Even a refund on our parking would have made us feel better since we moved our belongings to our car while waiting for the new room. The only response the manager said was they don’t know if customers don’t mention it. Well the cleaning person should have known the toilet didn’t work if they had cleaned it and someone could have fixed it before our arrival. There was a letter in the room commenting they are a small independent family owned hotel and requested problems be reported to them rather than posting reviews. I gave every opportunity for the manager to deal with our concerns and make it right before doing this review. We did not hear anything.
