Minster Hotel in York

See my review under Prado Places Oz. Awesome hotel, very friendly staff and awesome rooms and breakfasts. Gemma so helpful with everything. The breakfasts are amazing and the friendly staff make it a pleasure to be there. Stayed in room 9 which was fantastic.

Rude staff is all I have to say especially the women that was on reception.

Excellent stay, very well located hotel within walking distance of the historic city center and the cathedral. On-site parking. Lunch available on site. Excellent welcome. Spacious room, we had a completely and recently renovated bathroom. Peaceful sleep.

We had a beautiful spacious room with a great walk in shower, The staff were brilliant, friendly and helpful, a short walk and you are in the heart of everything, it’s a great hotel spotlessly clean, great breakfast selection I would definitely go back

Room very expensive for what it was but in its defence, it was clean and tidy with everything you expect from 3 stars. Breakfast was rubbish. Tried it the first day, sausage overcooked, black pudding burnt to a crisp one side and soggy the other, In fact everything was over cooked except the egg. Chanced it the second morning, benefit of the doubt and all that! it was just as bad!! New chef required, obviously the current one can't cope. Great basis to explore the minster, the shambles is a 10 minute walk away. Hotel Car park available which was charged at £10 a day which wasn't mentioned when we booked but is still lots cheaper than parking in York which is mega expensive. Oh and the TV in our room was almost a collectible it was so old!!

Stayed 16th May 2025 for weekend with friends Great hotel Great location Lovely breakfast Lovely friendly staff also very helpful. Will definitely be returning

We've been going here for years now. Friendly staff, always pleasant from moment you arrive till you leave. Rooms spacious and have everything you need. The breakfast is good and sets you up for the day. Massive plus point is the car park, very rare in york! It's gated so you feel happy that car is safe too. Park up forget about it and about 200m your within the city walls and don't need the car again.....

Great location with onsite parking available, staff are friendly room was comfortable and clean, breakfast was a bit disappointing despite having to wait for it to be made supposedly fresh fried egg,sausage,black pudding all overdone, tasted ok would have given 5 stars if not for breakfast

Been coming to York for years and this is the only hotel I stay at just love it

Our recent stay at The Minster Hotel, York was very comfortable indeed. The staff were exceptional, especially our breakfast waiter Stuart, they couldn't do enough for us. The rooms were very clean and the bed was very comfortable. I liked the little touches like the fancy biscuits, tea, coffee and milk as much as you wanted. The location was perfect, just a stones throw from The Minster, Shambles and Viking Museum. There were also plenty of great places to eat during our stay. I would not hesitate in my recommendation of this hotel.

Just back from York after a 3 night stay At York Minster Hotel. Very friendly staff and so helpful. Lovely room. Great Breakfast and staff here were a delight 😊 The walk to the Minster was fab from the hotel and to all the exciting places were within walking distance 😀. Great curry at the Taar Nepalese restaurant on same side as hotel. Will revisit.. Thank you

Lovely hotel. Very welcoming and excellent service

Can’t recommend this hotel enough, highly recommended for a visit to York, best hotel breakfast, rooms are lovely design and clean, staff friendly and helpful

Great value for moneyhotel handy for city centre and railway station. Staff were all great, rooms clean and comfortable breakfast was delicious.

Such a fantastic place to say. The staff really make this place special, all of them were so friendly and polite. Good location with small car park. Clean and spacious room. Breakfast was delicious. We will definitely be back!

Had a fab few days here, really well situated for visiting the center of York. Spacious room, comfortable and clean.

Lovely, service, staff, cleanliness, room size, and food was one of the best we have been to, thouroughly enjoyed our stay and will do again

What a find!!! Great hotel...now my go to hotel! Great breakfast and excellent location..loved it!!!!

We stayed three nights in room eight, which is in need of refurbishment. The bed frame was covered in a leatherette fabric, which was worn away along the sides of the bed, and scraped on the headboard. The top of the headboard was dusty and only clean where pillows had been placed against it. I found a long dark hair on a pillow. The net curtains hung around 20cm longer than the curtains. When pulled aside, they exposed distemper on the wall. The extractor fan in the bathroom did not work, and there were signs of treated black mould around the small bathroom window. The grouting in the floor tiles varied in colour between black, white, orange, and grey. There were a couple of cracked floor tiles. Walking down the stairs to the reception & dining room there is an area with boxes displayed on it. This was very dusty. Breakfast was okay except for when I ordered scrambled eggs on toast as the bread was burnt on the bottom. However, the staff that we met were friendly.

Clean rooms. Polite staff. Bit of a wait for breakfast.

Incredible view from the hotel. A bit noisy from main road, but that is to be expected .

During our 4week adventure in Uk & Ireland we found this the most pleasant of all the accommodations we stayed in. Quiet, the window opened so we could have fresh air, the breakfast was very comprehensive and great value, and the staff were quietly friendly and helpful.

Worked well for us. So central and we got into their car park. Great breakfast.

Just had two night stay, lovely hotel,staff,food. Free secure parking if you book direct. Location great,

Had Room 25, overlooking parking lot in backyard. Not exactly best scenary outide of window but such is inherent nature of many such buildings in UK. The room got open view with no traffic noise. Room interior and service decent enough for a family run hotel inside an old building. Bathroom basin was partially blocked and they had it cleared the next day when told. I think the blockage was down stream so the work was done probably outside the room. Breakfast was nice surprise. Buffet table with cold dishes and toasts etc AND then you can order English breakfast cooked to order. By default, they do not enter your room during your stay (except perhaps long stay?) but you can leave soiled towels outside the door and they will put daily supply in a bag (paper roll, cookie, coffee, tea bags etc) and clean towels outside the door. They did say daily cleaning in room can be done on request. Am fine with the arrangment. Carpark spaces (free... I booked direct) are not sufficient during weekend when occupancy rate was high. If you cannot find a space, you can park in front of other cars and leave your key to staff. Works well enough for me. Parking lot is secured by an electric gate so you don't have to put key into a faraday bag to prevent theft. The driveway into hotel is walled on both sides. As traveller from Asia, I find it to be a bit narrow even to my hatchback rental car. But then I saw other guests parked a Volvo SUV so I guess it depends on skill and confidence. They also have 3 rooms, I think, in a separate one storey "cottage" type building in backyard. The doors open to the parking lot. May be fine to some guests but I can imagine some others may not prefer. It also means a short open distance (<15m) to reach main building for breakfast and you may need an umbrella for that when raining heavily. I hope one is provided in those rooms. Proximity to city center and the Shambles is excellent. A decent size supermarket is 1 to 2 mins walk away across the street. Overall a great choice and good value at pretty good location (with carpark!) if you are not bothered by some minor inevitable quirks of old (but in this case well preserved) buildings.

What lovely people , very helpful,attentive and happy. I had room 4 with a 4 poster bed(lovely surprise). The room was very dated but it is a Victorian building so not unexpected .the room was very clean which is very important to me. Overall a lovely stay. Thank you
