We've always stay in this lovely family owned hotel. 3 star hotel with 5 star + staff.
Car park is very good and the hotel is about 5 minutes walk from The Minster and The Shambles. Breakfast is delicious.
Will definitely be staying again.

The hotel and room was far superior than what we expected. Everwhere was spotlessly clean. Our room was very large with careful thought that there was everything at hand that you need in there. Breakfast was really good too. The staff were so friendly, polite and welcoming, thank you for that. Overall The Minster Hotel was a little gem find of a hotel that we will have no hesitation in returning.

Fantastic location, kind and helpful staff,comfortable anf clean room. Allowed me to check in early as my room was ready, which was really great. Unique property. Did not have breakfast as i was enjoying my sleep! Special note of thanks to the member of the housekeeping team that helped me figure out how the lights worked. Would stay again.

Very near the city centre,
could have done with glasses in the room,
Breakfast nice.
Finally, it may be more prudent to place the older clientele (over 65) in the ground-floor rooms.
