Dean Court York

I recently stayed at the Dean Court Hotel and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The location couldn’t be better - right in the heart of the city, with everything you need just a short walk away. I was delighted to receive an upgraded room, and the highlight was undoubtedly the stunning view of the cathedral. Waking up to that sight each morning made the stay feel genuinely special. The room itself was spotless, comfortable, and well maintained, offering a relaxing space to unwind after a day out. Service throughout my stay was consistently friendly, attentive, and professional. Every member of staff I encountered made a real effort to ensure guests felt welcome and well looked after. Overall, Dean Court Hotel delivers on comfort, cleanliness, and exceptional service, all in a fantastic location. I’d happily stay again.

From the moment we arrived, our experience at Dean Court was outstanding. We were warmly welcomed and pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a beautiful room. Before taking us upstairs, the manager personally showed us around the hotel, which immediately set the tone for the level of care and attention they give their guests. He then walked us to our room and took the time to explain how everything worked — a thoughtful touch that made us feel instantly at home. The room itself was spacious, comfortable, and offered a stunning view of the Minster, which made our stay feel even more special. Every member of staff we encountered — from reception to the bar and restaurant — was friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. Their warmth and attentiveness made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable. Dean Court is a perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and location. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

This is a fantastic hotel in arguably one of the best possible locations in York! It is right outside the front of the Cathedral, situated right in the city centre - however it wasn’t busy at all outside the hotel, meaning all og the best bits about being in the centre of a city without the noisy part! Woohoo! The hotel itself is very cosy, and the staff are very friendly. They kept our bags while we waited for the room, and they drive your car around the back to park it while you stay. They are dog friendly! My pooch loved the room, apologies to anybody below us since he had many zoomies when we got there. When we arrived in the room, they had even got me some gluten free shortbread biscuits as well as regular biccies since I’d let them know beforehand I needed to eat gluten free. This was a very thoughtful little touch so thank you! We had breakfast there and my family enjoyed the full English breakfast and the pastries they had, it would be good if they had more options for gluten free as there was cornflakes and you could request gf toast. They could also do eggs however personally I’m not an egg fan - entirely personal preference however it meant I was only limited to two things for breakfast, but I appreciate that there were options for gluten free as not every hotel does that. Overall we had a lovely stay and I will definetely be choosing this hotel again when we return to York. Thank you for a nice stay! :)

Just spent three nights here and honestly, it was fantastic! The staff were super friendly and made check-in a breeze. My room was stylish, warm, and cosy—couldn't have asked for more comfort. Even though I didn't dine in, the food and drink options looked great. Overall, a perfect spot for leisure—would definitely recommend it!

This was our 2nd visit to this hotel. Its location is right next door to York Minster in all its glory. I went inside for a few minutes today short prays & light candles ( this is free )as is attending mass. Strictly no photo,s allowed but if you pay for the " tour package "photo are allowed. Ghostly walks every night go from here every night and are extremely popular. York is a stunning vibrant city full of history & the Xmas markets are so very popular. It was so busy it made it impossible to get inside a pub or cafe. Ques where unavoidable and outside street cafeand footstall had no seating so we had to constantly stand. The Shambles Market again was rammed everywhere with so many people it did quite spoil the whole experience of the Xmas Market Stalls were 6_7_8 deep and you couldn't make your way to the front. Was walked round in circles most times so definitely worth getting a street map guidance map. Free ( from visitors first aid stall ) . We went on our 2nd day early 10am & got in the shops , chocolate factory great experience. The Viking Centre is a MUST PRE BOOKING ESSENTIAL!!!....Visited there several times. I would return again to York but try the Xmas Markets else where. Friends went to Poland for the Xmas Market & paid on par as us for York so maybe next year il try Gdanzk instead..
