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 !!
Lovely friendly B&B stayed a few times and always made welcome. All staff Lovely and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Great location short walk to Minster. Lots of bars and resturants near by. Would definitely recommend staying here in future
Just returned home from a 2 nights stay at the white horse . Scott and his staff are very friendly and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again when visiting York . Thanks for a lovely stay .
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.
Loved our stay very friendly welcome and rooms were nice and big with all mod cons needed for stay .breakfast included was very nice too couldn’t fault anything with a few steps out of door you were in the York walls ..

No lift.. 3 flights of stairs… restaurant /pub was closed due to change in tenant. Local parking was 38 pound per day! and extremely noisy outside until well after midnight and started again at 6 am due to traffic.
Friendly, attentive Staff. Room & en-suite were nice and clean. Breakfast is lovely. Fantastic location. There's parking just across from the Hotel, and at the Train Station (about a 10 min walk).
staff and landlord were very helpfull nothing was a problem to them

City Centre Pub
Basic room. No information in the room. Wi-Fi works but is only 15 Mbps. Staff very nice. Breakfast between 9 and 10am. Not bad for the city centre. We didn’t notice any adverse noise quite peaceful really.
Great place for a night in York, just a few minutes walk in to the centre. Only complaint was the uncomfortable mattress!

Fab find!
Great atmosphere staff are so helpful. The cleaning is top notch our room was spotless!!Good quantity products made the breakfast it was so tasty and piping hot!! Definitely recommend this lovely little pub with its coal fire so cosy and friendly!
Should have on the website that they have music in the pub that you can hear in the rooms.
Other than the noise we had a good experience. People were very friendly.
Nice size room. Nice to have a proper bath as well as a shower in the bathroom. Staff very helpful. Excellent location in the centre of York. Not suitable for disabled access to the bedrooms as there is no lift. Bed springs were a bit wonky.
