Minster Hotel, York > Reviews

Advantages: The location - near the city walls
Disadvantages: The service, food, room, etc.

For my birthday last year Dave decided to arrange a weekend in York for me. I really needed a break as I am full time carer to mom who has dementia so we chose a really nice hotel (or so we thought) and booked in for the weekend. The hotel has a website at www.minsterhotel.co.uk and, if you take a look, you'll see it looks like an ideal choice of venue - looks good, has excellent facilities and is close to York.

Advantages: Very close to centre. Lovely staff and atmosphere

Disadvantages: a bit too expensive for what it offers
