“Very welcoming and perfectly positioned hotel for a visit to York. Great staff.”
Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast very good. The hotel is in a superb location for a trip to York. One of our family has limited mobility so the central location was an important factor in the choice.

Fantastic location! Bed was comfy with good pillows. Fan was a nice touch but it would be really hot during a heat wave. Room was clean and staff were fantastic. The breakfast was nice.

“The perfect hotel for a trip to York.”
The location is exceptional. Waking up to the bells of York Minster or stepping out of the front door to that sight starts one’s day off perfectly.

“Great place to stay”
Close to the city center and the minster. The room was very clean and though on the small side had all the amenities and an amazing view. The valet parking is great for city center.

“Friends get away.”
The hotel was beautiful and in a great location for just about everything you go to york for. We have passed the hotel lots of times and always said we would like to stay there. The reception staff we're lovely and couldn't do enough for us. The room was clean and well maintained. It was a very hot weekend, and the hotel had supplied a dyson fan and an air-conditioning unit in our room, so it was lovely and cool.

“Exceptional”
I chose this hotel for it's amazing location near the Minster but it is so much more than that. The exceptional team at Dean Court made mine and my mum's stay fantastic. Due to an issue with my mum's mobility, she required a different room from the one I booked. The lady on reception (I think her name was Bea but I could have misheard so apologies if I got this wrong) was amazing and solved the issue with my mum's comfort in mind. Due to this intervention, my mum had a fantastic and comfortable stay also. The rooms were well-equipped and had everything we needed. The bed was so comfy too. We visited Dean Court during a heat wave (34C) and I was so appreciative of not only the Dyson fan, but the air conditioning unit too. It made a huge difference managing the temperature of the room. I stayed in the Langley Suite and it was beautiful. Tastefully decorated, fitting of the hotel, cosy lighting and exceptionally clean. You can tell the housekeepers work remarkably hard with a superb eye for detail. I also wanted to mention the vallet service which I was very grateful for. It was run very efficiently and I felt my car was safe. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options, served by a friendly and professional team. It was lovely to dine looking out the window at the Minster also. Thank you to all at Dean Court. We shall definitely stay here again.
