Small quaint little hotel in St Albans with everythig you need - it's just a little dated, that's all.
5.0 / 10.0
Good parking, lovely authentic old pub. Full of character. Lovely atmosphere. Right in the centre of town
1.0 / 10.0
Upon arrival and looking from outside it appeared to be an awesome place to stay. The advertised room pictures suggested the same. However, having booked and paid for a "Superior" room prior to arriving I left feeling cheated. The room was tiny and the bathroom was so small you could sit on the loo and rest your feet in the shower tray opposite at the same time! I've seen bigger bathrooms in caravans.
The WiFi in room 1 was unusable. Took 10 minutes for all four of my devices to even find the hotel WiFi and once they were able to connect, there was 1 bar of signal which kept dropping out. No mobile signal there either (obviously that's not the fault of the hotel but they should up their game and provide the Wi-Fi they advertise).
Advert also said that the room had blackout curtains which is untrue. My room was by the main road with a streetlamp directly opposite so was illuminated like daylight all night 😩 Curtains are like tissue paper. The windows have some effort of poor secondary glazing but this doesn't reduce the traffic noise so I was woken at 4am by a combination of traffic and light.
Tonight I am in the Utilita Bowl Hilton (as I'm writing this) and have a Deluxe King room with balcony and pitch view, internet and the ability to move around. Price was 10 pence cheaper than the White Hart too so I can't help but feel ripped off by this place.
I usually stay in 2 or 3 different hotels every week and this place will definitely be on my "Avoid" list for the future.

My stay was ruined by the refusal to return my deposit for any incidental expenses. I was told that the £25 would be returned on checkout. On request for the refund I was informed that it was being retained because I stayed in a dog-friendly room when I had not been informed at any time previously. In my opinion this is dishonest and I will not stay here again

Lovely location. Bathroom very very tiny.
Staff friendly polite.
6.0 / 10.0
A great central location with an excellent breakfast. But if you hope for a reliable internet, don’t stay at the back of the building. I was told by staff the bad service was due to the rain, but it was still hopeless on the next sunny day. I had to go into the tea room for it to work.

Querky little tudor hotel. Really comfortable room and super friendly and helpful staff. In a great location near to the cathedral and city centre.

Medieval building. Room was small, bathroom also. Parking was very limited. Good at the restaurant was quite good. Located in the middle of townnear the abbey church now cathedral.

This is a lovely listed building so you have to appreciate that some areas of the property are in need of attention. The windows & seals were rotten but it’s a very old property so have to accept this. The room we had was quite small but a nice comfy bed & shower room which is all we needed for a two day stay. The staff were extra friendly & helpful. We had a lovely stay in an old quirky hotel !

The service at breakfast (and previous days lunch extremely slow) rooms okay as was a 600 year old property and quite comfortable.
Parking was fine.

Nice historic building, very good and friendly service
4.0 / 10.0
It's a fascinating old hotel with different parts dating from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. It's not been much modernised so floors are uneven and ceilings in the bedrooms low- part of its charm, but some people would prefer modernisation and more uptodate facilities.
The staff are very friendly and helpful.
Breakfast is freshly prepared and there's a wide choice of cooked food. It's in a good position, close to the cathedral and shops, and there's a car park.
4.0 / 10.0
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.
6.0 / 10.0
Our room was on the top floor. The room was very tired, carpet stained, grout in bathroom was needing a good clean. Parking is free for residents but the car park is very tight. The staff were friendly. Pianist in the bar was very good.
4.0 / 10.0
It’s a privilege to stay in this ancient venue, the public areas are splendid. Room 9 on the first floor was quiet, fairly accessible, and has a well designed en-suite shower. Unfortunately the bed was very bouncy, and the duvet too small, so we didn’t sleep particularly well.
2.0 / 10.0
£216.00 for two nights in a small room with tired furniture, grubby net curtains, sink in the bedroom not the bathroom, tired mattress, pointless WiFi signal and a mouldy shower cubicle. The extractor in the shower was so bad that the steam in there was suffocating too. Breakfast was shocking. Greasy food (lots of oil on the plate) and undercooked egg. I'd told them I'm gluten free on the booking, but when they gave me toast I asked if it was gluten free and it wasn't (not good!) I asked if they have brown sauce, the waitress said yes but never returned with any 😂 didn't even get a cup of tea or coffee and there was only myself to be seen to! Hardly rushed off their feet. The next morning I went to the dining room, but nobody came out to serve me, so I did without. It's a lot of money for such a tired and uncared for hotel 😞 staff were rather cold and rather disinterested. Not exactly a friendly bunch.

Great stay, everyone really friendly

Interesting old building, staff friendly and helpful. Facilities needed a bit of an upgrade, particularly the bathroom and the traffic noise was intrusive, so sleep not an option after 6am.

Fourteenth century Inn, but very well converted. Shame they aren't allowed to put in a lift! Excellent base for exploring the town, about 100yds from cathedral and High Street. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Will definitely be going back!

I have no idea what this hotel is like because they canceled my reservation the day before I was due to arrive.

Had a one night stay at the White Hart. The room was large and comfortable.
The food was great. We had burgers that were excellent, freshly made with crunchy pit prop chips. We ate in the bar, but could have eaten in the restaurant.
Parking at the rear or the property was ideal.
Only a 5 minute walk into the town centre.
Well worth considering if staying in St Albans.

The hotel is 600 years old with all the querkiness that comes with an ancient property, uneven floors etc. The 4 poster bed was comfortable the towels fluffy the bathroom excelent. However the room was tired and could do with new carpet blinds and lampshades. However this would not stop us using it again
10.0 / 10.0
I think it's our 6th or 7th time in this hotel and every time is wonderful. The staff is really friendly and the room are clean and lovely.
The hotel is amazing due to his Tudor heritage and everything around is reachable with only 5 mins walking.
Definitely the hotel to stay if you visit St.Albans.
3.0 / 10.0
Nice staff, dated place but comfy.
Room was ice cold when I walked in and never really warmed up. The water took several minutes of running to get warm too.
Mould around the shower and floor. Probably due to saving on the heating bill.

The White Heart in St Albans is a step back in time.
The Tudor building has low ceilings and wonky floors,but that is part of the fun. We had a great time

Very old very tired hotel broken bed dirty dusty room can’t even give this a 1 star review. Should of stayed in the travel lodge up the road cheaper with air con and less road noise
4.0 / 10.0
Lovely old hotel, very quirky by todays standards. Place has real character and charm. Not ideal if you have mobility issues as most of the floors upstairs are not level due to age of building. Facilities in the room were good, tea and coffee, kettle, iron and ironing board present and working. Enjoyed our stay.

Lovely old hotel. Quaint is probably a good description. If you are into 5 star luxury not for you. Beautiful old building with wonderful staff
10.0 / 10.0
It's our 5th time at the hotel and we really love it. It's in amazing location, the staff is super friendly and the hotel itself beautiful. The bar is a little Jewell and we are definitely coming back.
