We were booked into a ‘Superior double room’ which was quoted as recently refurbished. The room was very small, furnished with oversized furniture for the space it was occupying, bed was comfortable and shower was very hot and a bath which was very welcome after tackling Harrogate hills. I do think that it was overpriced for the room although this was offset with free onsite parking Harrogate is a lovely place to visit.

A surprise!
I booked here as I needed somewhere and was one of teh few available. I had read reviews a few years ago of here and they hadn't been the best, so my expectations were low. I was wrong. Staff were lovely, pleasant and plentiful. My room was comfortable, away from their function suite, and I slept well. Breakfast was plentiful, a lot of choice.

Older hotel near city centre. The room was spacious and well equipped. Breakfast was fine and the service was very good. The hotel had plenty of parking and was free of charge. The location was a 10-15 minute walk into town where there are many shops, bars and restaurants. On the downside the floors were very creaky and I was woken up early every morning by the people above moving about for ages for about an hour. Also the walls were thin and I could everything the couple next door were saying with one of them constantly coughing. So I turned up my telly to drown it off and they complained and I was asked to turn it down! There is no air con and only 1 window in my room opened and so wouldn’t want to stay there when it was very hot. Overall though a pleasant stay and ideal for those travelling by car.

Pleasant stay.
We arrived early and were able to park our car for free whilst we visited the town centre, returning to the hotel to a hassle free check-in. The hotel is an old property but is well maintained and very clean. All staff were friendly and courteous. Our room was clean and well appointed and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very good with plenty of hot and cold choices. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Breakfast was disappointing and was served by the chef! Mushrooms had a vinegar taste, black pudding too dry so I ended up having a bacon and fried egg sandwich.

The one thing that stood out with Cairn Hotel was how wonderful the staff were. We stayed in a standard double and it was clean and well presented. It does need some remedial works to take it up a notch but that didn't stop us enjoying our stay. The breakfast choices were very good but not sure everyone would pay what they ask if they didn't have the cooked offering or hot food choices. Mattress had seen better days as it was a little lumpy in places. Given the August weather a fan in the room would have been a thoughtful extra.

Hotel in a good location, free parking and 10 minute walk into Harrogate town centre. Nice outdoor seating areas, flowers and overall appealing exterior. Porter who helped with luggage to room and other items was great and bar staff and night receptionist friendly. Hotel is quite dated, with our room very basic and old fashioned, and nothing like the photos or description online. Yet bathroom seemed to be recently refurbished as modern. No air con so was very hot, windows jammed shut only open at a push about 3 inches. No large fans available when we asked to cool room down, given two tiny fans which did nothing, useless. I had messaged the hotel upon booking regarding a special occasion, this was not responded to at all and no acknowledgement of the birthday, which was very disappointing. Asked for an ice bucket for the room as we had brought a bottle of wine to celebrate, was told we would be charged £7 for this! Have never known anything like it, so declined, but our porter did bring wine glasses. No iron or ironing board in room so had to ask and wait for this. No fridge in room, no full length mirror, no chain for door just one basic lock so didn't feel totally safe. Overall the accomodation quality did not warrant the cost of the stay unfortunately.

We stayed mid week on a Wednesday to attend a wedding at another Harrogate Hotel the Day after. our stay. Hotel appeared quite apart from two separate coach parties. This might be why we got a very reasonable room only rate. The Hotel is dated and certainly the room we were allocated was very tired and worn and could have done with a deep clean and decoration. That said it did the job comfy twin beds and bath shower tv kettle all ok. I last stayed here around Ten Years ago and mentioned this on check in at Three in the afternoon to the reception guy, who commented that the Hotel would not have changed much.He was spot on it had not.lol. There was an entertainer on in the lounge probably to try and keep the coach parties in the bar spending. We caught the last half hour of the set and it had not worked as there were only three other guests watching. Having watched the country / Ballard / Elvis crooner, I am not surprised anyone was still watching him bless. His forte his in Comedy value but he has just not grasped this yet. He certainly cant hold a note or play any of his Four Guitars or Electric Piano. Still he told us he does not leave his house for less than £200.00 so hes definitely having the last laugh, and hes on at the Cairn two sometimes three times a week, so not a bad gig. Back to the Hotel,I would stay again especially if I could get a good room rate,not sure I would pay the extra £15.00 per head for breakfast though seems a bit steep.
