"Top for location and history. Lounge bar and garden delightful for summer afternoon/evening drinks."

7.0

Location and Agatha Christie connection. Old world vibe.

We visited in a heatwave and our room was incredibly hot. We slept with wet towels covering us and a small table top fan circulating hot air. The weather was unseasonably hot but I would caution against staying in 3rd floor, internal facing rooms in hot weather.

quiet location near city center. Traditional hotel with first class service and elegant dining room and lounge. Friendly and attentive staff in dining room and bar lounge.

nothing really. If heatwaves continue air conditioning or air cooling could be useful.

"a lovely building and staff but the bedroom was far too hot. we would stay again but not in room 353"

6.0

the location and staff were excellent and the secure parking, also food was excellent

the ensuite was very cramped and you had to open then close the door to access the toilet and washbasin also the window wouldn't open (about 1/4 inch). unable to open the windows more than a couple of inches, so with the weather this week it was unbearable in the bedroom/lounge, room 353

Great location at a well known Harrogate hotel. Good buffet breakfast. Easy to reach from the train station.

Price could have been lower but as expected for Harrogate.
