Cold, was given some BS about the heating being controlled by an external thermostat that couldnt be turned on. Too many dogs barking at 5am. Dreadful noise passed off as entertainment in the evening.

The main issue is that the food lacked seasoning and was therefore bland. I expect this is down to the current trend of not seasoning food but when you add to that the salt cellars were empty and no salt (or even cutlery) was included in room service, it’s kind of put me off.

Quite frankly, I would not stay here again even if you paid me to. Rude reception staff who moved me out of my first allocated room to a much smaller room with the words “this is the SINGLE room you actually booked”. The first room was a basic twin which I had booked. The room was down a series of shabby corridors, poorly signed and next to the service stairs. The corridor outside smelt damp and the lock did not work properly. No atmosphere in the hotel but a hilarious Status Quo tribute band in reception who kept stopping mid song when they got it wrong. Will never stay here again.

Beautiful building and grounds in easy walking distance from the town. The room was in need of refurbishing and the mattress was hard. There were no pillow protectors and the room needed a proper deep clean. Overpriced for a poor room.

Lovely staff, but tired looking building inside
Lovely grand old building feom the outside with beautiful period stained glass windows and stone embellishments, but very 'tired' looking in many places, including bedrooms, corridors and dining areas. Bedroom windows replaced with double glazed sash windows and new carpets, but the cleaning of the bedrooms needs attention. Clean bedding and towels but dust and fluff in corners, mouldy bath sealant and shower curtain, bathroom door didn’t close without banging it shut and disturbing neighbours. Breakfast was plentiful with lovely attentive staff, but cobwebs hanging from the crumbling ceiling above where the food was being served. The best thing about this hotel was the staff. Such a shame the building looked like it was not being cared for inside.

Excellent service by lovely staff wearing white shirts, white ties and waistcoats every morning for breakfast. Silent nights sleep, 250yds from Betty's Tea Rooms, Bus stops going to Leeds, York, Ripon and Knaresborough right outside, plus FREE PARKING. Excellent stay to View Harrogate and surrounding areas. Best place anywhere. X Thank you all.

We paid for an upgrade without seeing the original room but honestly if that was upgraded im glad we didn't see the original room. It was dusty and dirty and one of the mattresses needed the bin. It was badly stained and very uneven. This beautiful old hotel needs a new interior designer and an injection of old school glamour. That said breakfast was lovely and the staff amazing.
