The Exhibition

Second visit staying here , perfect location 10 min walk from train station lovely staff , fab breakfast will definitely stay again next year when visiting family .

We spent one night at The Exhibition Hotel as a family. Quirky, friendly and welcoming staff. The only down side is the paper thin walls. That wouldn't stop us returning. Great location and lovely breakfast.

Nice friendly welcome from the gentleman working the bar on arrival Thursday 23rd October around 2pm, booked in and explained about breakfast, evening meals, on-site parking and what was happening at the pub over coming days. Shown to our room which was nice and bright, very clean and comfortable. The building dates from the 1700s so expect uneven floors and squeaky floor boards and lots of character in a nice way and things that catch your eye. Beautifully dressed for Halloween. The breakfast menu is well presented with a very good choice of items from cereal and juice to full English breakfast with toast and the smaller portions if you are still full from the generous portions of the evening meal menu, all cooked to order, fresh and hot, unless you have a salad which are fresh and normally cold. Kitchen staff are happy to change items around. Extensive range of drinks available at the bar including cask ales, lagers, keg beers, spirits, soft drinks and hot drinks. All the staff we spoke with were happy to help in any way, cheerful and friendly and all had a minute or two to chat and advise on what to see next. Located right near the city walls and only about 10 minutes walk from the cathedral this place is a little gem. Lovely historic building with lovely warm friendly people.

Stayed here for 3 nights and I must say it's one of the most enjoyable stays we've experienced. First of all the staff were so friendly and polite making us feel right at home and most welcome. The room (Bootham) was spot on, very clean and comfortable, plenty of storage space and tea/coffee facilities. The hotel is in a perfect location, away from the city centre but only a few hundred yards walk to the bars/restaurants. The beer garden is very large with speakers dotted around with nice background music (could do with being slightly louder as it's hard to hear with all the chatter) The best bit of our stay was the food, we've stayed in many 5 star hotels and none have come close to the breakfast served at the exhibition. Would we stay here again? Without a shadow of doubt! Wouldn't stay anywhere else if visiting York.
