10/10 Exceptional

Lovely visit to St Albans

Lovely historic hotel in centre of St Albans. Only negative is lack of plugs in hotel room. Ideally some near the bedside table would be useful. Probably not allowed to add more as building is listed. Had delicious home cooked breakfast. Plenty of choices at breakfast too.

8/10 Very good

Convenient but noisy

Convenient for our purposes but noisy room near busy thoroughfare. Comfortable bed and newly refurbished bathroom.

Central St Albans

An atmospheric quirky hotel. Very few level spaces after the ground floor. Walking in room 16 is like a fairground attraction, try as hard as you might, it is so uneven you can never be sure where you will end up, but it will never be where you aimed for, a trip to the loo becomes an adventure. But it's good fun. A really good hotel, andvery central. And very historic.

Terrible bed!

Mattress was very thin and every spring could be felt. Pillow was very thin.

Very old hotel with all the quirky things that go with that like sloping floors and low doors. Nice restaurant with friendly staff.

wouldn't bother s

This is an old quirky hotel, expect wodden beams and uneven floors, but this adds to the charms What I didn't expect was a shower and tiolet that didn't work, crapets that made me want to keep my shoes on and poor breakfast service

Central Town Hotel with Parking

Room 14 seriously disoriented my wife because of the sloping floor. But reception were able to move us to Room 7 which was very spacious. Very old building so quirkyness to be expected.
Stephen, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Hotel obviously had a lot of character - not your run of the mill hotel! However, our stay in the family room was interrupted by a leak in the ceiling that came about after about 2 hours of steady rain. While reception did deal with it after we raised it, the ceiling had a couple of water marks - which would make me nervous about staying here for more than one or two nights at the wrong time of year.

Our family enjoyed the stay at The White Hart, it's spot on for a traditional hotel. Great staff and the location is steps from the St Albans Abby and high street shopping.
Dennis F, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel oozed character with its Tudor styling and timeless interior. The bar and restaurant area with its wooden panelling was charming and authentic. The bedrooms were stylish and clean with comfortable bed and seating, and the lovely warm bathroom was finished in a modern but not out of place styling. With free parking, it was excellent value for money. Cliff, Wiltshire

A night away to watch the rugby!

Had a lovely stay at this beautiful old hotel. Only stayed one night. Staff were very nice. We managed to get a parking spot, although spots are very tight.

Lovely old character inn

Good parking, lovely authentic old pub. Full of character. Lovely atmosphere. Right in the centre of town

A real taste of St Albans

The decision to stop in St.Albans was initially because it was a convenient stopover place for London, due to the easy commute into the city. However, as soon as we arrived and saw the cathedral ACROSS the road we knew that one of our days would be better spent experiencing this beautiful and historically rich place. We even arrived on a festival day! Lots of walking meant that sleeping in a comfortable bed was a priority and the hotel scored highly on this! Breakfast was varied and set us up for the days of sightseeing we had planned. This is an old property so if you want ultra modern go to one of the generic hotels in the vicinity. If, however, you want unique, complete with doors that those tall amongst us need to duck under, then head for here. Clean, comfortable, friendly. I’m keeping this postcode stored in my sat nav for future use.

Querky little tudor hotel. Really comfortable room and super friendly and helpful staff. In a great location near to the cathedral and city centre.
Lisa, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

It was like being in a 1970s hotel. Smelled of smoke. Noisy. Appalling bathroom. Old bed that creaked. It shouldn’t be on Expedia list.
Duncan, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not value for money, small en suite bathroom, barely swing a cat. Terrible bed, noisy windows - the building has lots of character on the outside and in the bar / restaurant but in my opinion that character was not in any of the hotel rooms. I will not be staying there again

Lovely old coaching inn. Friendly staff. Very clean bedroom and bathroom. The floor sloped so was difficult to get out of bed! Our bathroom was tiny too.

Top place to stay with a lot of character

Perfect nigh away for a business trip. Great central location with parking. Have stayed at the White Hart a few times and if you are looking to stay in a place with some history and a lot of character, then this is the one for you.
