23-25 Holywell Hill, St. Albans, AL1 1EZ, United Kingdom –

Lock in a great price for White Hart Hotel – rated 8.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

The rickety staircases and narrow corridors, the tudor architecture, the excellent restaurant and superb service. Live performer at the piano. It really is like stepping back in time, yet all so clean and beautifully presented. Superb!

Jimbohumbo, Australia

Bed was very comfortable. Room was very clean. The hotel is quaint, quirky, and historic.

Lisa, United States of America

Busy, cheerful pub, but the bedrooms in a separate building were undisturbed.

Jon, United Kingdom

The room was very nice. Enjoyed a great dinner in their lovely dining room.

Donna, United States of America

Lovely kipper for breakfast, excellent Sunday buffet.

Christine, United Kingdom

I like the fact they gave me an upgrade and the room included a kitchenette

Paul, United Kingdom

Cool older building with fun little quirks. We really enjoyed it. Staff was super helpful and friendly even making dinner for us even though we got in late when kitchen was closing. There is a nice little pub with lots of character and breakfast and parking were included.

M, United States of America

The building dates from 1400 and is utterly unique. There are no horizontal lines, but Russ and his team have made the best of every nook and cranny. The rooms are far from conventional with dramatically sloping floors, but very comfortable and stylish. The service is exceptional, the bar is excellent, and there is free parking. I highly recommend this wonderful, characterful hotel.

Philippa, United Kingdom

Breakfast was fine and well cooked. Staff did respond by changing our room after our first night. The first room was very cramped, very noisy from outside traffic and music from bar below. ( when asked to do so, the volume was turned down)

Graham, United Kingdom

This was my 2nd stay at the White Hart Hotel. I love the historic building and its proximity to St Albans Cathedral, the purpose of my visit. I'm grateful, at my age, to still be able to walk up the hotel's narrow steps and accommodate to the sloping floors!

One bulb in our room was out, and one in my mother's. The lighting in general was dim and long life (which is why I haven't said good for a romantic weekend, as lighting is important for that!). Breakfast was okay - coffee could have been better.
In our superior double (room 6) the bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. And the shower was fantastic. Great to sleep well before a big day.

Noisy bathroom facilities and not much soundproofing between walls. Car park very crowded. only 2 power points in the whole room which made charging phones/laptop and making a coffee very challenging at the same time!
Staff were amazing, dinner was extremely nice, exceeding expectations of normal pub fair. Breakfast was well cooked and fresh.

The location of the hotel is excellent. We were visiting the area for the Harry Potter Studio Tours, a 10 minute drive away. The hotel is lovely looking in Tudr style from the road and we loved the ambience of wooden panelling and decor in keeping with the period, but with all mod cons. The rooms are all individually decorated and both the rooms we had for our group were great, with comfortable beds and nice bathrooms, tea/coffee making facilities, wifi and tv. We ate in the restaurant one night, the food was excellent and a 10% f resident's discount was appreciated! Breakfast the following morning again was very nice, we all had the fresh cooked English, but there were plenty of other cooked choices, cereals and fruit juice. After breakfast we had a stroll around the excellent shopping facilities the city has to offer. As we were leaving at midday, the roast lunch was being presented in the restaurant - it looked amazing and if anything like the food the night before, would have been delicious. If we need a base in St Albans in the future, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here. Thank you to Petra and staff for making our stay so great.

“Nice hotel but avoid room 3”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
Our room was right next to the maid's closet, and the walls are very thin so we had a LOT of noise in the morning with the cleaning staff talking loudly and clattering right outside our door. The reception also had loud music until 3 in the morning...it was New Year's Eve, however we did not expect the hotel itself to host such loud music that wasn't fitting to the mood of the property. The room was number 3, we do not recommend staying in this one as you will inevitably get the noise in the morning. We have stayed other times and did not experience these issues.
The bed is very comfortable and the breakfast is excellent.

The breakfast was disappointing. My husband is vegetarian and there was no vegetarian option other than the full English breakfast without the sausage and bacon. I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs which was quite nice. The coffee was too strong for us to drink. Overall the experience was very good but the breakfast did not meet our expectations.
Fabulous bathroom and an amazing historic property
