Perfect hotel for our Christmas trip with friends. Quiet location yet easy walk to town, lovely old hotel with bags of character, large car park and the staff were exceptional in all aspects of their service. Would definitely recommend this hotel and we will visit again.
Good location, short walk into town centre. Very helpful reception staff. Large very clean room and bath. Great to have full size bath. Large free carpark. Will definitely stay again.
Well positioned hotel for a weekend in Harrogate. Short walk into town, plenty of parking and friendly staff.
An older property but nicely modernised and maintained rooms

All of the above including the WiFi. I loved the hotel but didn't try the breakfast as we were to travel for an appointment.
Plenty of parking, warm welcome in enormous reception with lots of comfortable seating areas, helpful local info. Comfortable rooms in grand old hotel. Some areas need a bit of paint but generally good condition. Comfortable beds.
Good quality room with two chairs & adequate drinks making.

Period hotel, with lovely period features, staff very friendly & helpful, however rooms were clean but in need of updating, which is reflected in the price, easy walking distance into town.

The staff are freindly helpful and always available. This is an old Victorian building with plenty of free car parking spaces. Within walking distance to the centre which is about 10 mins albeit uphill near the hotel coming back, there is a bus stop just outside and you can get the 36 bus to the bus station which is next to the train station and access to thd main shopping area
Grand, beautiful building with attentive staff. Room was cosy, spotless and had a great view over Harrogate. Bar was great to spend a couple of hours chatting in the evening and breakfast was extensive. Lovely one night stay.
