8/10 Very Good! (1,012 reviews)

Great location and good price but very much get what you pay for: hotel very tired, poorly-maintained, and noisy. Alright for an overnight pit stop but wouldn’t want to stay for any length of time.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,000 reviews)

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!
