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

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

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.

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.

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.

Mattress in room 15 desperately needs replacing, slight movement creates spring noises. Window had no secondary glazing(road facing) so draughty and no noise protection. Mould in bathroom, shower head needs attention. Staff lovely, breakfast good, let down by poor investment in the room.

It is an interesting 15th century property with lots of charm. Staff were very helpful. Watch out if booking a twin room. Ours was noisy, and the beds were lumpy and creaky. I could only sleep the other way around. I saw much better double rooms on lower floors.
