Positive: The hotel was ideally situated with the city centre just a 20 minute walk away. The staff were very friendly and helpful and our room was nicely decorated. It was nice to have a decent size kettle for making refreshments with packs of biscuits being a nice addition. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of options to choose from. The service was first class.
Negative: With the bed being a good size the addition of a larger quilt would have made it more comfortable.
Summary: The Minster Hotel is a great place to stay for easy access to the city centre and the staff are excellent.

We've stay at the Minster before so will always choose to stay there. The location is perfect, parking included....and what's not to like about the hotel. The staff are so friendly and welcoming....nothing is too much for them. The rooms have all you could ask, or need. Cannot recommend the Minster highly enough.
Negative:
Nothing too mention.
Summary: York stay
