10/10 Excellent

The property is beautiful, historic, and close to attractions/shopping. The staff are wonderful and willing to help in any way possible
Joshua, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

An amazing place. My favorite is the garden where you can have a lovely lunch with bubbles, which is what we did. The room was incredible and the staff is just wonderful. Every time I go to York, that’s where I will stay.
Noha, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I cannot recommend the hotel high enough, everything was fabulous. I was most impressed with the attentiveness and care all the staff provided, thank you.
Helena, 2-night trip

Brilliant hotel made better by staff

Fabulous hotel

The best hotel in York. Always a delight to come and stay at this historic and beautifully restored place. The staff are always kind and welcoming.
1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Gray’s Court is absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed, warm, attentive, and incredibly hospitable. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows in every detail. The atmosphere is something special, elegant without being stuffy, and steeped in history while still feeling comfortable and inviting. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger just a little longer. Location-wise, it’s perfect. Tucked right next to York Minster, you’re within walking distance of everything. Whether it’s a stroll along the city walls, a bite at a local pub, or exploring the Shambles, it’s all just steps away. Highly recommend Gray’s Court, it’s the kind of stay that makes a trip memorable.

What really made this hotel excel was the delightful and helpful staff. We even met the owner who was a really hands on person when it came to helping guests. The location is amazing- right by the Minster. Beautiful gardens.

Overall a very lovely stay, historical building and very friendly service. One problem was about 30 mins wait during breakfast, but staff apologised, so that's ok. Very comfortable bed, good coffee and nice toiletries.
