The White Horse

Staff is excellent. Friendly, welcoming and just plain nice. Location is ideal…directly across from the High Petergate into the old town and right next door to the York Art Gallery. Tons of restraints of all kinds all around. If you like Indian food 2 excellent ones less than 20m away. Easy walk from the train station…maybe 10 minutes and relatively flat with literally 2 turns. The room is well appointed and very comfortable. Bed was excellent…slept great! Towels are huge and soft! Breakfast was included in my stay and was delicious. Served 9-10 am which may cramp you early risers style. There is a coffee shop across the street if you need it and a Sainsbury less than 100m as well. Keep in mind…there is no lift so you’ll have to climb stairs to your room and there is no air conditioning (not that you need it in York except a few days per year. My room (#5) had a wonderful cross breeze between two windows and at night I had to close them. Shower a bit tricky for hot water but once you get it, it’s a great shower by UK standards! Also…it didn’t bother me at all but they do have Karaoke on Friday nights in the pub ( which is a proper pub) until about 11 and sometimes live music. Some may not like the volume, but it really wasn’t that bad (some of the singers were 😂). Just a heads up

I stayed in the Deluxe Ensuite with Bath and had an absolutely wonderful experience. I chose to travel on Thursday, without any late-night event, the room is thus quiet, we had a very restful sleep. The staffs were very friendly and accommodating, providing us with the best room available. The breakfast was made to order, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Because the building has a charming, historic feel, some of the facilities are a bit old. However, there are detailed instructions provided on how to use everything. Our bathroom was very spacious and has a bathtub, which was perfect for couples. It left a lasting impression on us. The location of the hotel is perfect – right in the city center, close to the York Art Gallery and within a 10-minute walk to all major attractions. It is also conveniently situated near plenty of great dining options. This was my first time staying in a traditional-style inn, with a pub downstairs and guest rooms upstairs, and it exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting York.

perfect location, everything within walking distance. staff were very friendly. nice size room, lovely big bath, breakfast was good. not much choice of cereal, but cooked breakfast was enough for me.

Comfortable, clean room. Amazing location. Really couldn’t be better. The pub downstairs is great. Staff very welcoming and considerate. Includes REAL breakfast - full English - and not just cereal or muffins or whatever. One of my favorite places I’ve stayed on vacation.

The landlady went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasurable as possible and went out of her way to get us to our concert when we couldn't get a taxi due to a traffic incident very friendly and made us feel at home Thank you clare
