Guest Ratings & Reviews

Real Guest Experiences & Ratings

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Many guests appreciate the Dean Court's unbeatable location, finding themselves right opposite the magnificent York Minster, within a short walk of the train station and close to the historic town. The rooms are often described as spacious and clean, offering every facility needed. The breakfast, especially when enjoyed in the dining room with views of the Minster, is a highlight for many, even though some have found it only passable. The convenience of being just around the corner from the city walls adds to the hotel's appeal.
