Hotel Z was one of the few hotels which falls into that category which isn't a £20 a night dormitory or a £150+ expensive hotel. For a very reasonable price, you get a clean, comfy, air conditioned room in a great location. I arrived 3 hours early and was able to leave my bag at the hotel. When I came back in the evening, someone had taken my bag to my room for me! The room was compact but perfect for me. I think if you were travelling with a lot of luggage and with two people, you might struggle. The shower/bathroom was new and really well put together. Bed was clean and really comfy. The staff were do friendly and super helpful. There was a kettle in the room and taylors of harrogate coffee bags (really appreciated having a nice coffee to start the day!). Breakfast was a tenner, it was fairly simple but what was available was tasty and fresh.

Not for me …

Not for me. I’m 6’1’’ and the bed was to small for me to fit in. Tiny little room. No space. Asked 2 times for towels to be changed and they forget each time. Bought a double gin/tonic a the bar and the barman faked pouring the second once on my drink…

The room was stiflingly hot and the air con just couldn’t cope (I had it set on the lowest setting, helped by one of the staff.) And, with windows which couldn’t open, there was no way of cooling the room, especially as I came back late in the evening. Resulting in a very uncomfortable night.

Quite terrible - staff just didn't seem to care to fix issues. When I arrived, the person didn't tell me how to access the Wifi - I had to ask When I got to my room, there was a blinking light on my phone indicating I had messages - called the desk, the person said to ignore it. I wanted to clear the blinking - he promised to send someone (7pm). I left for dinner. Nothing happened. Called again (930pm) - he promised to send someone. Nothing. Called again - 10pm - he said there's no one left and it would be done in the morning. I asked why he didn't call to tell me this, but no real reason. Next day - nothing. TV wasn't working. It wasn't plugged in. I finally got it plugged in, but got a Roku error message in French. Took it downstairs - two of the staff looked at it and didn't bother to think it through - just told me they couldn't fix it. Used google translate to figure out what the message said and - after some work - got Roku on. But, turned out there was a separate TV input. I am really really surprised that a big hotel like that has only one elevator.

I thought the property was in a perfect location, we were able to walk 20-30min to everything we wanted to see. The staff was amazing, the restaurant/bar was really good. I didn’t like the room at all, I had never stayed in a room that small or that had bathroom in the middle of it. As someone that is handicapped it was very hard to move around in there. I wish this would’ve been told to me before getting the hotel. The AC also didn’t work in my room, they tried to fix it but it still didn’t work.

Having stayed once before in a room without a window I thiought I would upgrade to a room with window. Shouldn't have bothered. View of rooves and aircon units. I was also aware the rooms are small. However there is small and very small and overly cramped. Won't use Z again becasue of this. Staff great. Riooms too small

No Air Conditioning or Coffee!!!

The air conditioning in the room was not working and the room temperature was extremely hot. I was given an alternative room which due to its location in the building was not quite so warm, but again the air conditioning was not working. I again reported the malfunction and went out. On my return the solution had been to open the only window. I pre booked breakfast which is cheaper than on the day and in the morning it was not showing as having been booked. The member of staff indicated it would be full price. In addition, there was no coffee at breakfast as the machine wasn’t working and no alternative.

This review is absolutely no reflection on the staff as they genuinely did all they could to go above and beyond. However! Upon arriving there was no record of the booking and it took an hour to get sorted (again, staff brilliant as it was beyond their control). Had to get Expedia involved to eventually get booker in, only to end up with a room that we hadn’t booked. We had booked a room with a window but ended up in a room without one and one that apparently was warmer than the sun which lead to a distinct lack of sleep. You expect to get a room that you pay for. The one star is purely for the staff as they deserve some credit for trying to rectify such a shocking experience. I would have given the hotel a zero for everything else. I hope the staff on the desk are valued as they tried but unfortunately it won’t be somewhere we book again.

The room was acceptable, it felt damp which makes sense since there is no extractor in the room. The mattress wasn't great, I could feel the bed slats. Since there doesn't seem to be an extractor the room steamed up after showers making it impossible for my wife to get ready. Overall it was Ok.
