Dean’s Court was lovely. The staff were friendly, professional and helpful. The rooms were spacious and the beds very comfortable. The sites of York were within easy reach of city sites. Would highly recommend a stay here!
This is the perfect location in York. The hotel is beside Yorkminster and an easy walk to the Shambles and pubs. The hotel is clean and lovely and the staff were great. Highly recommended.
We had a lovely stay at Dean Court. The staff were very friendly and our single rooms were clean and nicely furnished. Breakfast was included in our rate and it was really good, with the hot food cooked to order. We would definitely stay here again.
The place was great. It's really close and convenient to the center of town. The staff was lovely. The room was large and great street views. I would highly recommend this place again

Exactly as excellent and convenient as expected. Unbeatable location for the old town / town centre. Spacious and well appointed room and bathroom. And the valet parking was the clincher.
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.
Amazing location, great room, great breakfast, and incredibly convenient parking. One of my favourite hotels I’ve stayed in, it made my visit to York so much better.
Old building well renovated. Food terrific and staff helpful and efficient.

They say to never judge a book by its cover and this also holds true for some hotels. Dean Court looked nothing if not stately in the pics and our expectations were high as we arrived in York. The good news, the location is great - close to the most wonderful shopping. Valet parking was also a treat. That said, the hotel itself feels like a lower-end motel masking inside a wonderful exterior. The first room we were shown had no windows and there are, apparantly, four of those rooms. We were moved to a room with great windows, although the only rooms with AC are the interior no-window rooms. Most of the staff were pleasant except for the lady at the front desk who never lifted her head on a few occassions we passed by. The breakfast is so, so, but with attentive servers. Great location. Great exterior. Not a great choice for us.
