Stayed two nights as a couple visiting York. Staff were very helpful throughout. We arrived too early to check in, but they kept our bags and had delivered these to our room by the time we returned. Our room was spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Breakfast offered a wide choice and everything we tried was very good. The only... More

Stayed here for 2 nights. Great service, good breakfast and excellent location as its right opposite York Minster. Downside for me was that the room was very noisy as our room overlooked the road and very warm. Wouldn't like to stay here in the height of summer although you can hire an air conditioning unit at a cost. Would stay... More

My wife and I spent 2 nights here and were very impressed with our room and breakfast was truly great. We did not eat here, apart from breakfast, but have done in the past and found the food very good. I can recommend the Italian" Little Italy" which is not far from the hotel. The room was spotless and checkin... More

Went here for our wedding anniversary for three nights. First room was fine if a little small but due to a minor problem with the TV we were moved and upgraded to a larger room overlooking the MInster. Staff were very good - professional but friendly and helpful. Food was also very good - especially our anniversary dinner. Rooms were... More

My husband and I have just spent our 1st Wedding Anniversary at this hotel, having stayed there a year ago for our Honeymoon. We could not believe the reception received upon arrival. We had valet parking, and were greeted by the General Manager as a welcome back to the hotel. The Hotel staff were personable, professional, friendly and extremely welcoming.... More

We were driving and this offers an ideal locale,especially for those unaccustomed to narrow roads and right-hand drive. Valet parking and a wonderfully attentive staff confirmed this was the best decision. York is a beautiful city for walking and this hotel fronting York Minster made it! The full hot breakfast was included which we also loved rather than shortening our... More

Although the room decor in the Dean Court are a little faded, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff more than make up for it. Both the in-hotel brasserie and the excellent restaurant were well prepared to deal with a gluten free diet, offering gluten free sandwiches etc. There were even gluten free biscuits in the room when we arrived,...

We stayed for three nights, in early April. The room was tiny, but very clean. The hotel is all about location. We visited the Shambles, and could not move for people. We went back after breakfast, no people, and were able to take wonderful photos. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The breakfast we ordered, came hot and... More
