"Op de minpuntjes na, toch nog meegevallen"

6.0

Locatie goed, dicht bij centrum. Ontbijtruimte met prachtig plafond. Mooi victoriaans gebouw, soms wat uitgeleefd.

Geen gerieflijke badkamer, nergens plaats om toiletgerief te plaatsen, alles moest op de grond. De valiezen trouwens ook. Was superwarm, maar geen airco, wel een ventilator

"A very enjoyable stay overall, better than expected, with a great location and plenty of character."

8.0

The hotel was actually a little better than I expected, with plenty of charm and a lovely atmosphere throughout. The location was ideal for exploring Harrogate, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The room had everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

The room did get quite hot, though it was the hottest day of the year, so that likely played a big part. There was also a wedding taking place during my stay — it was a bit noisy at times, but to be fair it was also quite charming to see and added a nice bit of atmosphere. Breakfast was a little hit‑and‑miss, with some items better than others.

"Highly recommended."

9.0

Location is excellent, room extremely comfortable, and the staff were first class. Public areas were well maintained, comfortable, and good availability.

Lack of electrical sockets / USB sockets, but having said that, it is an old building and it did not impact much on us.

"Lovely stay with a great background."

9.0

Love the ambience and space. Libraries, lounges, front lawns to adjourn to. Our room was a good size with spare pillows. Plenty of parking (paid permit).

Lack of barista coffee until 10am. Until then it’s filter coffee only.
