Lovely, helpful people! The beds were so comfortable with amazing soft sheets. Breakfast was very hearty that one didnt ned lunch. It is above a pub but you couldnt hear the noise below. Karaoke night was so much fun. Very close to everything without being in the center. 10min walk to the train station. 2 min to york minister, the wall and hop on hop off buses. Highly recommend!

Lovely LGBTQ friendly hotel

Really well located on the doorstep of the city. Had a very friendly welcome and staff were accommodating & helpful throughout. The site said it was LGBTQ friendly and it really was as a LGBT couple celebrating a wedding anniversary we felt very comfortable here. Breakfast was really nice & a decent size. The room was a good size, clean and had a nice view of the art gallery. Evening entertainment was lively & enjoyable. Will be staying here again when we next visit York.

The staff were amazing! Even though the building was old, I didn't mind as it felt authentic and provided a nice town experience. Everything was great, and the staff were very polite. The breakfast was excellent, and there was a fantastic live music experience!

This hotel is in a perfect spot just out of York as to be quiet but close enough to walk into York. It has a relaxed friendly feel with it and nothing is to much trouble for the staff, I would not hesitate to recommend it and will definitely stay there again when we next ho to York.

Good stay overall

Overall, a good stay, the property being within easy walking distance from the train station and the city centre. However, the mattress on the bed was probably quite old as it sank in the middle. We slept ok but it may not be too comfortable for heavy set people.

White Horse Bootham

A nice break away for a few days in York. The hotel is very central right next to Bootham Bar. Room large, cleans and staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and large portions. The only problem was no parking on site and having to park at a nearby carpark cost £34 per day !!
