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

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
My husband and I spent two nights in this hotel. We had a small dog with us Whilst the hotel rooms were clean and tidy we did not experience any other part of hotel as we had a dog with us. We also did not eat in the hotel as no area that allowed a dog. Our main issue however was no hot water in bath / shower only hot in wash hand basin. First complaint made at front desk on first morning. Advised to read instructions on how hot water works. At 4pm after a long rainy walk with dog we were cold and wet and looked forward to hot bath so following instructions ie turn on whb and bath we tried again No difference. All that happened was the wash hand basin overflowed ( obviously blocked) so now we had to dry the floor but still no hot water. 2nd complaint to front desk assured us someone would be there in ten minutes. No one arrived. Cold showers all round. Cold shower again on 2nd morning. On checking out I again complained to the manager who sent a staff member to room to check. I eventually left her after her running the water at least 20 minutes to no avail. Not sure the outcome as have not heard anything from the hotel. Disappointed to say the least. Our two night break in Harrogate was an unpleasant experience.

Room was clean, albeit dated furniture and decor. Double bed was small and short, and im only 5'10. Shower was poor, tap control was limited so either very hot or tepid. Reception greeting wasn't very friendly, i didn't feel my business was welcomed.

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.
