Comfortable, elegant, super friendly staff and great food.
Bathroom cramped and attention to detail was questionable.

Location is perfect for access to the centre of Harrogate for shopping, restaurants and bars. We prefer to eat out and there are lots of varied options even for breakfast. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean, housekeeping came in every day and towels changed when needed. Partner loved the shower. Staff at reception and bar area very attentive. As always we enjoyed our stay.

More vegetarian options and doggy poo bins

The location was great a stone's throw from the centre of Harrogate
The receptionist, on arrival expected, us to pay a £10.00 service charge, which we refused. He then again, quite robustly, requested the £10.00 service charge when we left. We again refused and he was not happy. His attitude spoilt our stay at this hotel. We were also annoyed that you have to pay £10.00 a night to park in the hotel's car park. After paying £134.00 a night you would expect the car park would be included.

We booked via booking.com and we’re surprised and disappointed to discover we couldn’t eat in the hotel because we weren’t on a complete package namely dinner bed and breakfast
Having to pay extra for car park

First impressions good, public rooms attractive and comfortable and clean.
Hotel gardens looked attractive with numerous hanging baskets.
Indifference of staff.
Small room
Cooked breakfast unappealing and just warm.
Poor choice of evening meal

We look forward to breakfast at the Swan which was lovely as always.
The hotel Location is excellent
The Swan is peaceful and comfortable and is out hotel of choice for our annual stay in Harrogate
We’ve previously had bigger twin rooms. This time our room was a little chlostrophobic, beds much too close, and more so as it was warm, but otherwise pleasant, clean and quiet.

Good breakfast and convenient location. Most of staff friendly and helpful.
There were no evening dinners because of 2 weddings. Also parking difficult on these days.
En-suite facilities needed a bit of updating.

Large & spacious hotel in the heart of Harrogate.
The staff in the restaurant all look shabby with dirty shoes. The moment I noticed it then became really apparent that all staff were the same, but only in the restaurant.

Fantastic central location. All staff were excellent. Comfortable bed and decent evening meal.
No hot water for the shower but staff did all they could to resolve. Although not fixed, an alternative room was offered.

Hotel is lovely. A fantastic location for the centre of Harrogate. The breakfast is a winner, no continental but the hot breakfast was 10/10.
I stayed in a single room and the bed was on wheels. This made for an uncomfortable nights sleep as everytime I moved, the bed moved. Although it was nice to go to sleep under the window and wake up next to the bathroom. Would not recommend for those wishing to partake in a spot of hanky panky.

Good location, nice lounge area / reception downstairs.
Lounge area off our bedroom saved the accommodation as was pleasant and comfortable.
Breakfast q good.
For the price the whole hotel needs some attention and the rooms need updating. Curtains in bedroom were torn, decoration v bland, furniture q shabby , old fashioned ( not in a good way) and v scratched . Overall v outdated bedrooms.
Dining room was cold.
Shame the ready laid fire in reception area wasn’t lit on a v cold ,frosty January day . Would have made everything more welcoming .
The staff attitude varied. Some v helpful., friendly and gave good service. Others pompous and unhelpful.

The location is reasonably close to most of Harrogate's facilities, and it looks attractive from the outside.
The room (No. 140) was spacious enough but had no outlook and no colour to it, and was a long way from the lifts or stairs. We found it difficult to sleep as the room was too warm, and we could not find any way to turn the heating down. We didn't have much interaction with the staff who appeared overstretched, possibly more staff needed. We did not expect to have to pay £10 to park overnight! At an hotel?
3.8
great location and period building, you can’t expect 5 star for the age but friendly staff and well worth a visit
fresh lick of paint in bathroom would make a difference in this room
3.8
Lovely, old world architecture, polite staff, comfortable suite.
And all good value. I've paid more elsewhere in the past, for much worse accommodation.
Not really. Might have been nice to have a better view, but we weren't there for the views and it certainly wasn't a problem.
3.8
The restaurant was very tired, the lighting was terrible so even though our meal was included we chose to eat out
