Across many reviews, travellers praise The Dean Court for its unbeatable location by York Minster and consistently friendly, helpful staff, while noting comfortable, often spacious rooms—some with standout views—and appreciating the convenience of valet parking in the city centre.
Common drawbacks include no central air conditioning (portable units or fans are supplied), street noise at front-facing rooms, some smaller or dated rooms, and occasional maintenance issues like worn carpets or bathroom mold. Breakfast and on-site dining are often enjoyed, though a few guests found the food or service inconsistent. Expect a characterful, city-centre stay with standout convenience and warm service.

Perfect position and literally only steps away from the Minster. Easy access to the typical York city centre ancient shopping streets. The hotel itself is comfortable and well appointed, and the staff were helpful and charming. The only negative point is the minuscule lift which barely holds two people and a suitcase. Valet parking is an additional bonus

I booked a single room for myself and found that I was stuck into a ground floor handicapped/disabled room without a single window which i did not request. I also discovered that I had been charged 200 GBP for that room, whilst single rooms on other floors were 134 GBP. This was an overcharge and I will never stay at this property again and will be telling everyone I know to avoid the Dean Court Hotel.

Stayed one night during the week. The staff were very friendly and met all our needs. The hotel facilities were very good given the age and history of the building. I was aware of a kitchen extractor in a void at the back of my room but it didnt disturb my sleep. The location is excellent for sight seeing york but there are no parking spaces on site. Vehicles are valet parked once you arrive and returned in about 10 minutes when requested. Hotel food was good but there are plenty of interesting restaurants within easy walking distance. Overall i was happy with my choice and would stay again!

Great location for walking the centre of York. Rooms lovely. Noise from the road as there is a taxi rank outside the front facing rooms. The location and view of the Minster outweighs the noise. Great breakfast and bar. Parking very easy with valet. Will definitely stay again, and I will book directly with the hotel next visit, so I know what I am paying for.

Excellent property in a great location, with a warm and fabulous welcome (thank you Frank). The room we stayed in was large, comfortable and had everything expected. The only criticism would be the excessive parking charges. Thankfully we were aware of the and took the decision to accept, but still excessive. A great stay in a recommended property.

Great location across the street from York Minster. Lots of dining options nearby. Unless you book a suite, this is a typical European- style hotel with very small rooms. Bed was not comfortable and the carpeting was dirty. Someone used a key card to open our room door while we were inside and left when we acknowledged our presence. Reported incident to front desk. Upon check out, front desk said no one from housekeeping said it was them. That is concerning. Hotel could definitely use a facelift. But then again, it’s all about location, location, location.

Great location. Great staff. Could be fantastic but very old and in poor condition inside . Could use a complete renovation as very old. Dirty faded hallway and stair carpeting, chipping paint, old wallpaper and dated room decor and bathrooms . Has such potential as great location and staff and charming outside but needs an update. Needs new updated AC and heating system and modern technology

Woken up by dustbin collection at 5am so never got back to sleep. Towels did not look as clean and fresh as normal and breakfast was nowhere as good as previously. Bacon well undercooked black pudding perfume tasting (too much penny royal maybe) and very greasy hash brown. i left half my breakfast which was also smaller 1 egg 1 rasher of bacon 1 sausage black pudding 1 hash brown mushrooms and baked beans. Normally 2 of everything. Not that i mind this as if edible i would have been full. Staff are always excellent here so such a shame about things letting our stay down

The hotel is lovely. The breakfast was nice. Only issue is room 32 was very small. It’s ok for 1 night but any longer than that and it would have been stressful! We were supplied with a Dyson fan and a mobile air con unit. They a were both very loud but needed in the hot hotel. Would I stay again? Absolutely but only if I was guaranteed a bigger room which obviously you cannot be.

They all made a fuss of him which was much appreciated. We had very good service too! And enjoyed our breakfasts and dinner. We just had one night with you. I chose you for your brilliant site opposite the Minster and was not disappointed!

Overall the staff was great. The receptionist, manager, and various other very helpful staff. The only negative I had was during breakfast. I had to go on the hunt to find a person to order from after waiting and watching others eat for 10 minutes. The young lady that did finally take our order seemed bothered and she never once came back to our table, even though she continued to wait on all the the other tables in the restaurant. The breakfast was good though, as was the dinner the night before. We would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful stay at a hotel right next to York Minster. Loved the spacious room, comfy bed and hot breakfast in the morning. This is our 2nd stay here and when we return to York we will stay again.

The location can't be beat--right by the cathedral but not unduly noisy--and our room was on the street side. The staff was pleasant but a bit inattentive, which perhaps cost them a few drinks we didn't order. The food was mediocre. I like older hotels, so it doesn't bother me when the upgrades are a bit wonky. Our room had a slightly odd air-conditioning solution with a tube through the open window leaving a bit of a gap , but it worked just fine with no bugs coming in. Unfortunately it was right about the place where the staff would go to smoke, so several times a day we'd have 10 minutes of nicotine smell. I'd previously stayed at Grays Court around the corner which is luxurious in service and fabulously quirky in rooms. Deans Court is not in their league, but it's a good lower cost alternative if location and some charm matter to you.

Room very clean / bed comfortable / Food excellent though the breakfast menu was a little reduced from what I had read online e.g. lack of fish items (smoked haddock,etc.). The staff were very friendly and helpful. A most enjoyable stay.

I was with a young friend and her 3-year-old boy. The waiters were really sweet with him bringing him a folder with colouring games to play and a fox mask. One waiter brought him extra strawberries. They all made a fuss of him which was much appreciated. We had very good service too! And enjoyed our breakfasts and dinner. We just had one night with you. I chose you for your brilliant site opposite the Minster and was not disappointed!

Great location for walking the centre of York. Rooms lovely. Noise from the road as there is a taxi rank outside the front facing rooms. The location and view of the Minster outweighs the noise. Great breakfast and bar. Parking very easy with valet. Will definitely stay again, and I will book directly with the hotel next visit, so I know what I am paying for.

Amazing stay from start to finish. My mother has mobility issues and uses a mobility scooter. The staff were brilliant with this - carrying it in and out, and charging it up for her. The room was spotless, large and well appointed and the breakfast was amazing. Big thank you to Beata on reception and the others who were so friendly and helpful during our stay. Would not hesitate to recommend Dean Court to anyone visiting York.

50 steps from the Minster and near Bootham Bar and 22 Yards restaurant. Great location.
