The Bootham Tavern - York

The location is good and it is not far from York Minster. Our room is on 2nd floor and only stairs to get up. It takes 2 bus stop and little walk from the York station. The room space is ok but being aware that the room is just right above the bar, so it will be noisy if you come back to your room before the pub's closed time.

Great Location. Bed was comfy. Had a warm welcome when we arrived. (Pub looked nice, though we never drank in there during our stay). Powerful Shower. Downsides, can be noisy, but you are staying above a pub, so it is what it is. The bathroom is a bit tired. The shower door doesn't close so impossible not to get water on the floor. Toilet seat was loose. If these minor repair issues were addressed it would be a pretty good room. For a couple of nights, we had a perfectly fine stay.

We enjoyed our stay. It's not the best place I've ever stayed but not the worst either. Only a 10 minute walk from the train station. Very central, not far from York Minster and The Shambles, definitely a great location. Nice pubs, shops and cafes near by as well. Our room was River Ouse it was small but had everything we needed. Decent bed (bit firm for me fine for hubby) it had tea/coffee, hair dryer and iron. Toiletries in the bathroom and the shower was good though wee black bit fell off it when in use. The silicone could be doing with being replaced, it made the otherwise lovely bathroom look a bit grubby. It is a bit noisy so my sleep was a bit disrupted but given the location it was fine. Breakfast was good! Not a lot on the continental but the cooked breakfast was great. My husband raved about the sausages. Staff from checking in, serving drinks and at breakfast were all fabulous. Very friendly and attentive. Also the pub is lovely.
