We loved staying at the Exhibition Hotel! It was amazing! From Luke checking us in to Grace serving us at breakfast, it was easy, relaxed and so convenient to the everything we wanted to see. The breakfast (which was included) went above and beyond)-it was fresh, delicious and better than several of the meals we had at other places. Highly recommend and hope to visit again in the future!

Our family of 3 loved this place! It sits above a pub, room was clean and inviting, and the complimentary breakfast was top notch. Not your run of the mill continental breakfast, but a sit down, order from an extensive menu kind of meal. Everyone here was so friendly and helpful and the location was convenient to the town’s landmarks. Would definitely stay here again!

This hotel is right on the edge of the city making it ideal to get to all the attractions and pubs. The staff were amazing, really friendly and helpful. Thebrooms are sizeable and the bathroom was huge and clean. Thenpub itself is warm and friendly and breakfast was huge. Really reasonably priced particularly as ut has parking for free.

We happened to be here during a heatwave, and missed air conditioning. But the property is nice and in a great location. The staff were very accommodating. We loved the quaint atmosphere.

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.

This place was outstanding and a little gem found. The staff were so welcoming and ready to help with any questions, directions etc. The breakfast was one of the best I've ever had and plenty of it. A wide choice and as we preferred streaky bacon to what was served the chief ordered fresh in. Our only grip if it is due the age of the building was the flushing of the toilet and one on occasion no hot water. Would highly recommend it.
