We have just returned from a stay at the minster hotel york. Good location is all it has left to recommend We stayed there several years ago and couldn't believe the difference. we were in a courtyard room which was musty smelling, and very much in need of a revamp. The bathroom had had a sort of make over, although... more

After reviewing this hotel we were not quite sure what to expect. However the stay turned out to be a stress free visit. We were greeted pleasantly enough on check-in and told all the appriopriate information. The room was large, clean and inviting, some areas of the hotel do look tired but this did not effect our stay as the... more

This hotel is not as bad as some of the reviews on this site indicate! It is certainly not wonderful - but if you want to be able to leave your car in the small FREE & SECURE car park and wander around York it is definitely in the right location! (Parking in York is very expensive and difficult to... more

after being informed that the hotel we had boked the gateway to york had no resteraunt facilities we were to be upgraded to the minster hotel. if this ws an upgrade i would hate to see a downgrade, the room was an attic room small dingy and basic, the whole hotel had a musty smell, beware also you have to... more

We booked a 2 night stay at the MInster having looked at the photos and website description. As it was fairly pricy we assumed we were in for a treat. We realised from the moment of arrival on friday evening that we were in for a big disappointment. On entering reception we were greeted half-heartedly by a miserable looking receptionist.... more

I trusted that the situation would not be as bad as it was painted based on my previous stays at a sister hotel in the same city. Arrival was good, there is an ample private car park which... more

Well, how to begin??? Upon arriving at 2pm on Sunday 30th March, the receptionist seemed disturbed to greet us and eventually interrupted his phone conversation to tell us that we couldn't book in until 3pm and to go for a walk round or a drink!!!! We opted for the latter and and had a great beers and sandwich in a... more

We booked over internet for Bed & Breakfast at £100 per night with secure parking and central. Parking was excellent city central location. Reception was slow, but friendly. Rooms were small and smelt of cigarette smoke (although now a non smoking environment) Rooms were small but warm (and it was cold outside). We could not have a shower as we... more

This was our second honeymoon and what a disaster. We booked an expensive hotel thinking that we would have luxury accommodation. We were told to go to room 5 and we were all excited. In the afternoon we decided to go for a lie down after walking round York. All we could hear was the humming of the central heating... more
