A pleasant place to stay in an historic city.

A lovely 15th century coaching inn near the cathedral. The bar serves cask ale and within a short stroll there are plenty of good other pubs and restaurants.

The bathroom needs better ventilation as the damp had damaged the floor and was causing some mould to appear in the shower cubicle.

Very good and enjoyed the stay once our room was sorted.

Very good well cooked and plenty to eat. Staff good and receptive to needs

Had to wait a little too long, no other real issues with breakfast. We requested a room with the least steps, but initiallly we were given a small room at the top of the building. The hotel staff were responsive and offered us a much better room afterwards so the issue was resolved. Suggest staff check the requests made by clients on the booking form.

Very quaint and great location

Great location, very quaint and characteristic and right opposite the cathedral where I enjoyed beautiful walks. Lovely having the light coming into the room and the historical beams and decor throughout the hotel.

Not a lot of parking space so couldn't really park anywhere sensible. The spaces should be prioritised for hotel guests not rented out to anyone. There were moths in the room, you could put cedar balls or take anti moth measures. Behind the headboard hasn't been cleaned in a very long time, its very dusty! Not great for asthma! Would be great to have alternative milk options for tea etc in the room.

I strongly recommend to anyone who is not looking for a brand new modern hotel but likes old buildings.

We had a wonderful time at this, perhaps the oldest building in St Albans. The staff were helpful and attentive, the room was comfortable, the hotel is decorated to emphasize its interesting history. The water was piping hot and breakfast was tasty. The parking was convenient.

Atmospheric hotel in good location

Excellent location, opposite the cathedral and two minutes to the high street. Good restaurants nearby. Even if it seems like no staff are around, they suddenly appear from nowhere. Service prompt and courteous. Good selection of cooked breakfasts (lovely to see haddock or kippers on offer) and a very generous Full English. This is an ancient building (500 years plus) and has all the quirks and atmosphere that that entails, so be prepared for uneven floors and low ceilings, but that's all part of it. If staying, do check out the residents lounge on the first floor with the amazing Tudor gallery.

Some of the decor is a little tired - but everything was definitely clean. My mattress wasnt great but I told them at the time and they assured me it is being changed and offered me a different room. Even with these small issues (which can be, or are being, fixed) I would be happy to stay again.

A comfortable stay in a beautiful old coaching inn

The White Hart is central for all amenities and has a lot of character. Our room was clean and cosy with everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious! Very good value for money.

A slight draft from the window but as a listed building we understand that double glazing is not permitted. And besides the room was plenty warm enough for us

Dreadful experience never to be repeated and could not in good conscious recommend this hotel!

The customer service at the hotel was good.

I am originally from this area and was expecting a better experience from this hotel. The room we were assigned (no. 3) was extremely dated and showing old age with worn and dirty carpet, dirty curtains which did not fit the window! There was a black out blind which did help but cracked window panes which was unsightly! The ensuite facility was very poor with a shower & toilet ony, the sink was outside the ensuite and in the room with a mirror with very poor lighting. In addition as a Resident we were not offered out of hours access to the bar which closed promptly at 11pm!

Very good

I love the location right in the centre of the city. All great pubs and restaurants within walking distance.

The room was okay but the shower room was no bigger than what you would expect to find in a caravan.

It was an excelent place to meet up with friends and I would stay there again.

The hotel was full of character and it still had the atmosphere of an inn and not a bijou hotel. The staff were both helpful and friendly, the bedroom was comfortable and the food well cooked and tasty. The position of the hotel was ideal, central and opposite the cathedral.

There was nothing I disliked but the bedroom we slept in could have done with a lick of paint. The parking was limited and we ended up in London Road car park which is difficult to find.

Convenient location for our plans, but did not live up to expectations.

The original Tudor features, the quirky layout of the bathroom, the wonky floors and the location. Housekeeping staff were especially friendly and helpful.

The tatty, torn, ancient net curtains and the shabby broken, miss-matched furniture. We also didn't have cold water despite two attempts by maintenance to fix the issue. This meant we had no drinking water throughout our stay. Breakfast service was very slow.

Passable

I'm struggling to find something.

The room was very basic, the bed had seen better days and sleep was poor as it was so uncomfortable, I was woken at 5am by somebody dragging bins across the yard.

Convenient location for town

Location is good although sound proofing from road is poor.

Bathroom smelt terribly and was ridiculously small compared to a room we've had in the past.

Appalling value for £, poor breakfast, poor sleep, too hot but no AC, too noisy, staff not bothered.

The staff responded to my request to change rooms after the first night. They apologised (mumbled, not exactly heartfelt) for the problems with that room and the replacement room.

Wow. The rooms were small, with no temperature control. The first room no 3 overlooked the busy road with lorries going past 24hrs and had no soundproofing - so I was basically unable to sleep much. I asked to change rooms and was put in a smaller room, no 5 (could not approach the bed from both sides) overlooking noisy plant to the side of the building, but quiet so long as the double glazed windows were closed. But it was very hot and no A/C - so that was not really practical. I then discovered that there was no _cold_ water - one hot tap and one tepid tap. By now I really wanted a cool shower - no luck. On checkout I mentioned this and was told "oh yes we know, we've been trying to fix that". The breakfast was not great - no continental options like croissants or cold items, and the full English contained slimy mushrooms and a large whole uncooked tomato, not even warm in the middle. The eggs, bacon, and sausage were quite okay. The toast was white plastic sliced bread (so easy to do better, at so little cost). None of this was remotely consistent with what I was paying. A friend staying in the same hotel had a large room with a four-poster and a large bathroom (not just shower) - which didn't help my sense of injustice!
