"This place became a life saver! We initially were booked in at Lils on the waterfront for a 2 night stay for my birthday last monday, they cancelled our booking because of flooding, but didn't bother to inform us before we travelled, so was not happy when we turned up to find it closed!...anyway we managed to get the attic room here at minster hub (room 8), it was lovely & homely, close to the minster and town center only a short walk away, and about 10 mins to train station."

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Minster Hub is often praised for its amazing location, as the hotel is only a 2-minute walk from York Minster and very close to main attractions. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds and the presence of essentials like a hairdryer and kettle, even a makeup dresser in some rooms. Some guests have mentioned that the plumbing in certain rooms can be a bit noisy. However, the spacious rooms, particularly on the top floor, and the great walk-in shower tend to leave a positive impression, along with details like a Love Cheese shop right opposite the building.

An idyll in the City center

city center location warm bed tea facility helpful hairdryer

The accommodation was indeed close to the city center. The bed provided warmth. I appreciated the inclusion of tea and coffee making facilities in the room. The provided hairdryer was very helpful.

The noise was a distraction at TIMES. Thin walls meant hearing sounds from other rooms, including running water.

the location is ideal, only a short walk from the main attractions. i found the staff to be communicative via text messages. my room was clean and included all necessary amenities for a comfortable visit. the bed felt especially cozy , and the nights were quiet.

the option of a slightly later checkout time , perhaps around 11am , would be an added bonus.
