The property was excellently situated just around the corner from the Minster. The rooms are well presented with everything you need and staff are very helpful. The pub down stairs is well stocked and a nice environment to be in. Jane was amazing and very generous on our arrival to take our bags in early so we could make the most of our time in York. The breakfast offer is great and the food was lovely, well cooked and great products. The cost of the breakfast offer was well priced and so worth the money spent. I would highly recommend this place for your visit and would happily pay to stay here again.

Great Stay - Central Location
Great location, not too far from the train station and central to the city centre. Excellent live band on the Friday night and to top it all, a superb breakfast!

Perfect pub, perfect location.
Lovely welcoming pub with excellent rooms. Even though you are above a pub and on the high street, it was silent at night. Pay and display carpark to the rear, shops and other pubs and restaurants next door. 1 min walk into the centre of York. I would stay again.

Lovely and lively tavern
A lovely tavern with good music and a cheerful atmosphere. The room was a good size and nicely decorated.
The staff were friendly and the breakfast delicious.
We've been to York a few times to stay over and this is now our favorite. Will definitely be back!

Comfortable room above local pub
Neat, clean, and comfortable room above a local pub. Thought it would be noisy, but surprisingly not. Very centrally located and short walk from the station and to the Minster/old city etc.

You can certainly hear the bar below if on the first floor. The Kararoke was fine the first night but the band was better the second.
Watch the cab drivers first one took me on a 20£ taxi ride from the train station. Other cabs to and from were less then 10£

Nice room and breakfast. Very close to the centre. Water pressure was a bit variable in the shower, but overall a very pleasant stay. Thank you.

Comfortable and convenient location
Nice comfortable, located in the heart of York.
Easy access to a nearby convenience store and city attractions.
The room was very clean. I loved the oat biscuits, tea and water provided for hotel guests.

Pleasant find
The single room was comfortable, clean and pleasant. It had tea making facilities, a hair drier and iron. The en suite was of a good size and private. The only draw back was the shower - it had little water pressure and the shower hose was a poor fit.
I had a key to a separate entrance which gave me freedom to avoid the bar and flexibility to come and go.

Really close to Bootham Bar and everything that is inside the walls. Very warm welcome from friendly and helpful staff and even though my room was over the main road, noise didn't bother me. The room "York Theatre" was very well appointed with everything you'd need. Good size with a large en-suite and a lovely comfy bed. I'd definitely recommend staying here.

Great and friendly service. I was able to check in early. Room was small but clean and well appointed. It is an old building so access is narrow and a bit tricky but was fine for me. Overall was fine for me for one night.

Very friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble. The English breakfasts were well-cooked, served with a smile and piping hot. It felt like stepping back in time and very traditionally 'British'. I'm so glad I stayed in an everyday and friendly pub rather than an upmarket and modern hotel.

The Bootham Tavern was a very good location for the city. The Staff were lovely and polite. The Breakfast was a bargain. Only downside was the radiator in the bathroom was constantly on with no thermostat to turn it off and the summer temp was 20 plus degrees outside so difficult to sleep as it was boiling in the room. Other than that we enjoyed our stay

Bootham tavern. York. 10 out of 10
Great B&B. Cosy room, excellent breakfast and welcoming pub downstairs. Would stay again but I’d book independently as YOU, HOTELS.COM did not pass on my payment to the Bootham and YOU told the Bootham I was 2 persons and needed to be charged double for breakfasts! I had to prove I’d paid for my stay when I arrived which made me feel very uncomfortable and I hold YOU, HOTELS.COM entirely responsible and in no way am I annoyed with the Bootham B&B. They were brilliant at resolving the mix up which was 100% caused by YOU, HOTELS.COM. It’s put me off booking with YOU ever again.

The housekeeping was none existent, spider webs in the room very narrow stairs to rooms with a maze of doors. Very noisey hearing people leaving as well as noise form the pub and band.

We originally had a deluxe double however on check in realised it didn't have a shower, was a bit misleading on the hotel pages as it says 'bath or shower' so could have been a bit clearer. However we spoke to the staff and they swapped our room so it turned out fine :)
The hotel is in a lovely location, very short walk to the centre so nice and peaceful
