We had a brilliant stay here. We stayed in Fishergate which we found really comfortable and clean. Our room was serviced during breakfast every day. Breakfast was huge and there were lots of choices including a full English and smoked salmon and eggs. Breakfast is 9-10am every day which suites us well. Even when the hotel was busy, our room was nice and quiet. We asked for a breakfast in our room/to go on our check out day because we left early and we had a beautiful breakfast delivered to our room the night before. The staff could not have been more helpful and they seemed genuinely eager to please. The hotel is ideally situated for the city centre with lots of takeaways and nice pubs and restaurants close by. We would definitely stay again. It was good value as well.

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.

Fabulous

We've been staying here for 24 years Amazing welcome always from Rose, Shuni,Danny and staff. The rooms are beautiful, spotless and comfortable. It's a lovely cosy pub too with a fantastic beer garden. All the benefit of staying at a pub without any noise, whatsoever, in any of the rooms...we've stayed in them all over the years! Minutes from the city centre, free parking and the best breakfast in York!

We stayed at this hotel for one night. It's close to the York Minster and easily accessible from the train station. The breakfast was fantastic with many choices, but it started late start from 9am. The hotel is above the Exhibition Bar with a nice atmosphere. You can go down for a drink at night. The only reason for 4 stars is that the bed is too soft, as I felt it would collapse while sitting on it.

Great stay at the Exhibition hotel

We very much enjoyed our stay in this charming hotel, which boasts clean and comfortable rooms and a convenient carpark for guests in a popular area of York. The staff were friendly and hospitable and accommodating in all measures. The breakfast menu was surprisingly broad and the food delicious. We spent a pleasant few hours sipping good ales and tasty cold spritzers in their extensive beer garden listening to talented local musicians at their excellent open mic.

Cant wait to go back.

York is always amazing. The weather was hit and miss. However the Exhibition was a wonderful place to stay, relax and enjoy a tipple or two. Luke was always there to help if we needed anything and the rest of the staff treated us like they had known us forever. Breakfast was included in our stay and they never let us down. Nothing was to much for them. Cant wait till we can book again xx
