Property was very clean and tidy, hotel has recently gone through some redecorating our room was spacious and clean.

Our room faced the rear of the property. Deliveries and skips under Our window could get quite noisy if you needed the window open. These rooms should have a discounted price set against similar rooms facing the front or gardens.

All staff helpful and friendly, good selection of breakfast, good selection in the bar to, lovely old building, the grounds of the hotel beautiful to, the hotel was close to the town, I'm an Agatha Christie fan so it was nice to think I had stayed in the same hotel as her,

Very pleasant atmosphere overall

On the fourth morning, I was rudely awakened by the TV in the room next door being switched on at full volume, which was very disturbing. I tried to get through to reception on the landline, which did not function. I endured this for 2+ hours, and then was forced to get up and go for an early breakfast. Having reported it, this experience was repeated that evening. The night porter came up and after knocking on the door four times, an elderly man eventually opened his door, and was requested to turn down the TV. He did in fact turn it off completely. Hours later, early the next morning, the noise started all over again. Fortunately, I had booked to depart, and was glad to go

Elegant surroundings - fits with the location of Harrogate perfectly. Bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. Breakfast was very nice. Good to see a hotel with so much history still active. Loved the link to Agatha Christie, as a fan.

As this is an older building, there were a couple of quirks, just to be aware of. The floors creaked a lot, which meant there was noise during the night from people walking the corridors and in the other rooms. I'd recommend some ear plugs, if you are easily disturbed by such things. The room was a little too warm at first, regulated only by opening a window, but this did help. On the other hand, the large breakfast dining room was a little too cold in the morning, so I'd recommend a jumper or sitting next to a radiator. The parking on-site is regulated by the local council and costs £12 per day, just so you know.

Setting in Harrogate. Rooms, views, staff were keen. It's an oasis of calm. Sitting out on the terrace at the front with a beer or a coffee is highly enjoyable. Plenty of great bars and restaurants within easy walking distance.

The lift needs an upgrade. Some haphazard decisions and very slow to start moving. The breakfast is fine but bacon and sausages cooked a bit more would help. Restaurant was OK, but expensive. Some in our party were not happy. We eat out all the other nights. Not keen on paying £12 for car parking either. One of our group used a side Street. I'd go back though for the setting.

The hotel is full of history, from the everyday one, connected with the tradition of the city's spa, to the slightly mysterious one, connected with the mysterious disappearance of the famous detective novelist Agatha Christie, who was hiding in this very building. The room that was provided to me had older but solid equipment. Everything was clean, including the bathroom and toilet. The orientation of the room to the courtyard was at first glance somewhat disturbing, but it must be said that this did not cause any problems related to annoying noise at night or similar problems. The building has a single, not very spacious elevator, but considering that many guests choose to walk up or down the stairs anyway, the wait for a free elevator is not long or annoying at all. The breakfasts were very good, as far as the traditional English breakfast is concerned, on the other hand the continental breakfast consisted only of cereals, yogurts and fruit. Some salami or cheese was missing. But if you ask the waiter for them, he will bring very good and fresch cheeses from the kitchen, even three kinds of them! Dinners served in the beautiful, stylish restaurant (art deco) are made to order, but a seat is not that hard to get. The a la carte menu is somewhat limited in the meals selection, nevertheless the dishes served are wery deliciousness. The waiters are very helpful and pleasant. The same cannot be said about the restaurant bar staff, who tend to ignore guests. The people at the reception were generally very pleasant, with professional behavior, sometimes going beyond their normal duties (especially the receptionist who speaks Polish was absolutely fantastic, he even gave us printed materials about the history of the hotel on his own initiative!) The parking lot at the hotel provided ample opportunities to park our vehicle. The city center is less than a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

The staff at the restaurant bar tend to ignore guests.

The room was quiet and adequate for our needs. The shower en suite was small but adequate. There was no toilet brush! Overall the hotel had a feel of faded glory - with an old solid established feel and an excellent location in the centre of Harrogate. On site parking seemed a little expensive at £12 a night. However due to the location the variety and quality of adjacent restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner were manifold and we took advantage of this. We didn't eat in the hotel - though the restaurant looked very good and the food options reasonable.

As we were out for much of the day - during the Great Yorkshire Show - playing golf at Harrogate, Sand Moor and Pannal - we didn't really use the hotel facilities much. We did have a beer and sit outside in the deck chairs provided as the weather was excellent. The drinks were a little expensive in the hotel compared to the options outside.

Beautiful property in a perfect location The food was amazing and the staff great

It would have been nice to know in advance that there was a wedding reception taking place. We wanted to sit in the library after dinner but a tv had been put in there and it was being used by children from the wedding rather than them being in the wedding area. We sat in the reception area instead but it was noisy and disruptive from the wedding. It felt there were no areas for other residents as the wedding party spilled into the rest of the hotel rather than in the area sectioned for them.

I loved everything about this property. The outside was like walking onto a set of Downton Abbey and it had lots of the same features inside. I loved all the information on the walls about Agatha Christie and how she stayed in the hotel when she went missing from home for ten days. The bedroom was really spacious and was really clean as was the en-suite bathroom. Tea and coffee were provided and the bottled spring water was a nice touch rather than water from the tap for your hot drinks. There was even a trouser press in the room.

I loved the glass cabinets on the walls filled with jewellery, bags and purses. The only downside was that you could only purchase items at certain times of the day and I had to leave before they were available. I will have to use this as an excuse to call back.

Room was excellent, came with a living room, which we did not use.. Bedroom was a airy and bright area and a Super King bed, which was very comfortable. The breakfast was a buffet but it was an excellent buffet it had everything and more that you could want for breakfast and the waiting were professional and polite. The location was right in the heart of Harrogate.

So.... the above room was the room we were moved to after I complained that our original room was right above a live band ! there was a wedding taking place, all that day and evening (so it was hard to get a rest at any point) I was not the only guest to complain ! As I explained to the manager you should have warned all guests there was a wedding taking place and there could be some noise ! The Wedding did look beautiful and ironically I would recommend it as a wedding venue. Our original room was old, small double bed, which was not comfortable and the bathroom had not had a proper clean, and some areas of the bedroom was very dusty.
