We have to say a big thank you, as we found the Minster Hotel spot on! It is a great, well appointed, family run hotel, with lovely, attentive staff. The room was super, clean and spacious and it offered us a great sleep. It being very quiet, and the bed nice and comfy. Breakfast is excellent too, with lots of choice, perfectly cooked, hot and wonderfully tasty.. all served by a great staff team, who are literally a well oiled machine. The Minster seems to have ample, private parking and is ideally placed for York city centre. Bootham is a very short walk to the Minster, Shambles, museums etc.. Go on, treat yourself!

Lovely place

All of the staff were super friendly and the hotel was clean and welcoming. Breakfast was well presented and laid out. The hotel is very close to the main town without it being right on tour doorstep. If i had to be picky then the wifi wasn't up to scratch and the toilet paper could have been a better quality. The cobbles to the outside rooms were a little wobbly and could be a trip hazard.

The good the bad and the uncomfortable

The hotel was okay, and very close to the shops.the service in the hotel was good and the food was adequate. We were in room 11 which is right at the top of the hotel only accessible by walking up three sets of very steep stairs so would not be suitable for anyone with walking difficulties. The room was clean and adequate. The bed was very uncomfortable, really hard mattress and the pillows were hard too. When we went to bed on the first night I felt like I was going to fall out as the bed sloped down on one side. The next morning I was making the bed and realised it was a king-size mattress on a double bed base! No wonder it was sloped on one side. The breakfast options are okay with a good few choices. All in all the hotel was not too bad except for the bed. However we wouldn't return there. We will stick with our usual hotel which is further from the centre but much more comfortable.

The beds were not comfortable, and there was no airflow in the rooms, so we were hot. We had an outside entrance to our room, so that was not a good idea. The shower was nice.

Great convenient central location to all sights. Misleading photos and descriptions of the rooms. I was given a tiny room on the top floor with no place or space for my small carryon luggage, no chair to sit, and stifling heat with no air circulation. One small fan was provided. Our three rooms were booked in advance, one booking, each of us paid the same price, yet each room varied from being either deluxe, standard or budget! A hotel information letter requested that guests let them know if there’s an issue so that they can seek to resolve it, but when we did voice our concerns, no effort was made to appease our discomfort. Since it was a third party booking - Expedia- nothing could be done we were told. An extra fan, cold bottled water, a complimentary breakfast would have been much appreciated gestures.
