4.0 star property

"Perfect location for walking into the city or to the railway station (no more than 10-15mins). Stayed in the delux double bedroom in the annex. Confused as room didn’t match the images on their website. Duty manager informed and he agreed and apologised. For a delux room would have expected more luxuries, the only benefit seemed to be size of room and en-suite. Breakfast options ok, but as for advertising continental options, only saw yoghurt "

Superior Double Room

The Fat Badger

4.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (497)
"The location is excellent and the inn full of character. The staff were all lovely and breakfast well presented and very good quality . The room was clean and pleasant, but as it was overlooked by both the City Walls and the beer garden I had to keep the curtains closed. Also the industrial extractor fan for the kitchen was right outside my window so there was a continuous noise from 7.00 until late into the evening. In a way, it was a plus because it was white noise that mitigated the noise...

Double Room

The Minster Hotel York

3.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (1004)
"Nice spacious room, close to city centre with very, very friendly staff and excellent service... Food was excellent with lots of choice at breakfast, which was included in the price. Only minor point was that there were a couple of little decorative tired bits around the edges like the net curtain had a tear for example... But it was nothing so big as to take the shine off our stay. Would return absolutely and would highly recommend."

"Great public areas, pool is a great addition and towels provided too. Room was a little tired and could’ve done with a extra clean. The USB sockets didn’t work which was annoying but not the end of the world. Fridge was a nice addition too. Overall, fair stay but at £125 for the night, a little steep for things not to be cleaned or working. Great location though. "
