Lovely building and fabulous location. Our room was a good sized double but no air con meaning a noisy fan all night. I wouldn't want to stay in very hot weather. The staff were extremely friendly and professional and breakfast was in line with 4 star. We had dinner here on our first night which was very good value for... More

When travelling for business you get used to hotels saying they are 4 star but in reality they are an optimistic 3 star. Also with business booking you get shoved in the old rooms. So I was really surprised when I got a lovely room, great size, tea tray with about every drink you could think of on it. The... More

Great hotel , we had a room overlooking the main road at the front of the hotel, which can be noisy early morning. But we still managed to sleep in, so I wouldn't let it turn you off visiting them. We love the location of the hotel and although we only had breakfasts I can recommend them , very good... More

We stayed for two nights to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and what a great hotel in terms of location and accommodation. The staff provide an excellent service from the time you book in until you check out. The breakfast was very good with excellent friendly service. We had a great view of York Minister across the road. The only... More

Visiting York and went to the Dean Court Hotel bistro/bar for dinner. Greeted by an unhappy looking member of staff who told us the restaurant did not open until later (we had a prior engagement so could not wait) so decided the bistro/bar would be good enough, the front of house gave us menus and told us to sit where...

This hotel is located right by the Minster, we had been to York before and stayed at the Hilton, this is by far superior, more friendly service, great room and nicer location. Car Parking is not a problem, as they valet it for you. Went to the Hilton, park it on here but you will have to move it. Breakfast... More

I stayed at the Deans Court Hotel for two nights during a short visit to York and was pleased with everything. I got to York by train and it was a short walk to the hotel. I walked in at about 11am and they registered me and took my bags. Off I went for lunch and a walking tour with... More

I chose this hotel primarily on location. Excellent situation opposite York Minster. One has to pay for secure parking but the view is worth the small extra charge. It is also handy for popping back to unload shopping or take a quick break between sightseeing. The staff are excellent, really pleasant which is unusual for a chain hotel; a most... More
