This is our favourite hotel in Harrogate, partly because of its location and appearance, but partly because it provides such a faithful reminder of a time when things were more solid and less comfortable. Especially mattresses.

This is a lovely hotel with lots of history. Upgraded room as wanted the larger room. Didn’t realise this included a large sitting room. It was nice but not needed as we were out and about most of the time. The only downside was our waitress in the food hall for breakfast. She was the most unhelpful and miserable one in there. When I asked for something she basically grunted back. I heard others there also ask for different eggs. Again, she grunted back to them and was really unhelpful. Found her very rude. Also, not much choice for vegetarians for cooked breakfast. Perhaps they could add a choice of vegetarian sausages as they had meat ones. Other than this it was a nice hotel.

A Nice Hotel

A very nice hotel. Room clean and good facilities. Decent breakfast with a good choice. Was a bit shocked though at £12 per day car parking charge.

I would avoid. We won't be returning!

A real shame! The write up was good, photos made it look cosy, quaint and rather indulgent. It was far from it! First room was dusty and badly maintained. The room was big but filled with dark un kept furniture which had its day 15 years ago. Small tv (about 10 years old at least), and the decor was depressing. We asked to be moved. A porter turned up with a tee towel, complaining it was the end of his shift...asking us what we wanted cleaning. We were far from impressed. Eventually a very scruffy front of house found us an alternative room, after a threat of us walking out. Breakfast just awful. Cold food, terrible coffee and worse service. We didnt return during our stay. If you do go..watch out for the £12 per night parking, the 12.5% service fee added to every bill...oh and card only transactions. Harrogate is fabulous and with such a huge amount of competition this hotel just has to do better! Needless to say, we will not be returning.
