Only a few minutes walk from York Minster and the town centre but on a busy road with significant traffic noise. I was given a room in the basement with windows painted over and next to no natural light.However room was large and reasonably well appointed. Staff friendly and welcoming, good choice for breakfast.

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!
