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

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.

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.

I called in around 10.30am on the day of my stay to see if I could leave my bags but the room was ready and I was allowed an early check-in. This was great as it left the whole day to head out. Nice, warm welcome from friendly staff. My room was at the top and back of the pub, so it was quiet. The room had everything you'd need and was a good size and decorated in a lovely wall covering showing St Mary's Abbey (also the name of the room) My second visit here in two months and it's safe to say that I'll be back again.

This property is very reasonably priced and is an excellent location. The staff is helpful and friendly.On the downside there are steep stairs up to the rooms and no lift. Window wouldnt stay open , it was very stuffy so we had to fashion our own prop stick to get air. No ceiling fan as advertised.Bathroom was clean but walls in the bedroom area were filthy. Friday night was a floor shaking 70"s tribute band until 11:30-12:00 which was fine but Saturday night was a poor ,loud band until midnight (like terrible karioke. ) Not sure I'd recommend this place without mentioning those things. Was surprised to see others giving a 10.

Fabulous spot. Lovely staff. Just be aware it is loud with traffic until later, didn’t affect us but just a heads up. Super convenient and close to all York is about. Bonus if you have a car, there is a parking lot directly behind the tavern.

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

The pub had nosey live music both Friday and Saturday night so I booked out Saturday morning but Expedia would only refund me one nights accomodation instead of 2. The main road also had noisey traffic all night without double glazed windows over the front.

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.

Average
The room was clean. The reason I rated it average is because of the service. It was basically non-existent. We had to find someone at the bar to check us in. This person offered no welcome or friendly advice with parking or assistance in getting our luggage up the flights of stairs. No lifts. Check out was the same experience. No hospitality, not asked how our stay was or thank you for choosing them.

Reasonably priced pub accommodation.
Good location close to the Minster. Room was on the main road side of the building, but we'll sound proofed. Some noise from the bar, but this is expected in a pub. Problem with loss of hot water pressure on the final morning was irritating, but these things happen. Clean and comfortable. We did not have breakfast so cannot comment on the food.

Overall, a fantastic City centre location and lovely staff. I stayed in the York Theatre room which meant I could hear all of the traffic outside (busy road) - it didn’t affect my stay as I live in a city and am used to noise but perhaps not for those who want a quiet location The reason for my overall score of 4 is that the WiFi didn’t work for the entirety of my two-night stay. This had a direct knock-on impact on the work I was meaning to do during my visit. The hotel team did everything they could to try and resolve the situation, and there was the option of BT WiFi (around £7-8 per day) if the hotel WiFi is down, but it was a niggle.
