Minster Hotel on UK tour

Sooo, all the other hotels on the RS UK tour state that they have hair dryers. The Minster Hotel only references having toiletries..any idea if they have hair dryers? I guess I can contact them if no one knows, just thought I would throw this question out there in case anyone else was wondering..

If you are referring to the Minster Hotel in York, their website says they have hairdryers.

Thank you for the info! I was looking on booking.com. Next time will go to the actual hotel website!

I stayed at the Minster hotel in early June on my own. I have to say its a fine hotel, terrific location. I only did the continental which was enough for me. There was a bar with good food on the other side of the street as you headed towards the Minster. When I was there the lift was out but someone would help with the luggage. My room was on the 3rd floor overlooking the car park. You will enjoy this hotel.

Hello golddog! I am taking the best of England tour next year, and just spoke to a Rick Steves rep yesterday about just that issue. She said if there is a hotel without a hair dryer, there would certainly be one at the next stop. She suggested if it was really important to have one, it may be best to pack it. I countered that a better idea would be to buy one of the tour mates a drink in exchange for using the hair dryer they packed. Great way to get to know your fellow travelers! We had a great laugh over that one. I'll be watching for tour tips from you.

I have easily stayed in 2-3 dozen different hotels in the UK and can't remember any of them not having a hairdryer. Remember, the hairdryer won't be in the bathroom as there are no electric plugs allowed in UK hotel bathrooms.
