The Bootham Tavern - York

On a main road with poorly fitted secondary glazing so no use in keeping the noise out opposite a pizza shop with people shouting and messing about at 1:30 in the morning. We were told on arrival by nice barmaids that breakfast was between 9-10 but that was just a loose guide and could have it later , we didn’t bother on the first morning but on the Sunday we were refused breakfast at 10 and were told it was between 9-930 ?? But they didn’t have the staff anyway! Teas and milks weren’t replaced on the Saturday and the bed and room hadn’t been serviced either, shower leaked badly and the floor mat towel got soaked through and wasn’t replaced.

The rooms was nice and clean! Staff was nice too!:)

The breakfast is served super late! 9-9:30! At 9:00 I'm normally done with everything, ready to conquest the world!;D I've been to many places but 8:00 or sometimes even 7:30 is the hour when breakfast normally starts... really disappointed with that, didn't even bother to wait that long... On Friday night the live music session in the pub was just horrendously loud! I know - Friday, live music - I do like it too - but not that loud! Don't know how the people inside the pub could have stand it! My brain was exploding - and I was in the room! 😵‍💫🤯

Great location and comfy bed

Baffled by the positive reviews. The price of this place is daylight robbery. I booked expecting a boutique b&b above a tavern when in reality, it is just a local boozer with some rooms upstairs. The room was very small and had black mould visible on most of the walls and smelled like damp. The pub had live rock music on directly below our room until 11:30pm on one night which was so loud it was vibrating the room. Impossible to sleep through even with noise cancelling earphones. We might as well have been at a concert. Once this was finished, there was karaoke until 1:30am. The following night, there was karaoke again until 1:30am. None of this is advertised at the point of booking and when we went downstairs to speak to staff about this, we were told there was nothing they could do. The flush on our toilet got progressively weaker across our 3-day stay to the point it couldn’t even flush two squares of toilet paper and the toilet door didn’t completely close which was extremely unfortunate when one of us got food poisoning. The breakfast is fine. Bog standard full English (or several derivatives of a full English). Would have been nice to have some fresh fruit or yogurt or something to change things up. Breakfast is also only between 9-9:30am which is oddly restrictive and probably quite late for most people on a city break. Our room was directly across from an office building and they could see straight in so had to keep the curtains closed most of the time. Would not recommend this place and certainly would not go back. I’m sure there are much nicer places for the same price and will allow for you to go to bed and be able to sleep at a reasonable time.

La habitación

Que no abre hasta las 3pm.

Very bright room, large shower room, nice desk and chair. Friday night, music downstairs but hardly audible and I was able to listen to radio two (on thr tv) with no trouble. Breakfas cooked to order after cornflakes etc, really well cooked

A perfect location for the event I attended in York with great access to the Minister, Contemporary Art Gallery, De Grey Rooms, Bars and Restuarants. Didn't spend much time in the hotel, unfortunately (not even for breakfast). There was too much to do in the city!

This is a property with a few rooms above a busy tavern. Our room was equipped with a tub but no shower. The facilities were definitely not luxury by any means, but the location was a excellent and the staff warm and friendly.

Situated in good spot near Minster, Shambles and not to far from train station (12 mins walk). Room was clean and comfortable. Staff very helpful and polite, good full english.
