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
