This is not an easy review to write as in a couple of areas the hotel varied from 5* to 1* - hence the overall 3* rating.On the plus side, the rooms are excellent, clean, quiet and an ambience of luxury - definitely 5* rooms. However, we were surprised about car parking. Several of the websites like Expedia say that the hotel has 'parking included'. In practice, we were given a parking disc to allow us to have local on-road parking - which in this busy residential neighbourhood meant that we had to park in another road not near The Grafton. Even worse, the parking disc only allowed 3 hours of daily parking between 9am-6pm on Monday to Friday. This is not what I would consider to be 'parking included'. The huge stumbling block for us was breakfast. The Grafton's website has a section on Food & Drink, which proudly announces that they were awarded the AA Food & Breakfast Award in 2018. In addition, there are enticing pictures of the breakfast room and a list of tasty foods cooked to order. However...when we enquired about breakfast times, we were informed that they had stopped doing breakfast during Covid - we were, instead, presented with a list of local cafes where we could go and get breakfast if we wanted. We were naturally extremely disappointed with the lack of breakfast, despite the wording on the Grafton's website. So in summary, the rooms were excellent, parking is dreadful and the in-house breakfast is non-existent. We will not stay there again.

Lovely setting with large bright room and parking right outside. Very easy check in/out, friendly hosts

What an amazing find in Harrogate. This hotel was lovely and the rooms were great. Nice bed and massive bathroom. Mark (the owner) greeted us on arrival and he was lovely to speak to. Would definitely stay here again if staying in Harrogate as its near town

Great property within walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants. Highly recommended.

Staff o check were welcoming and helpful. The room was very clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. Would definitely stay at The Grafton again.

Room was comfortable, quiet and nicely appointed. Good location close to transport links and town centre.

Lovely clean room. Parking on road outside with a permit covering stay. Property is a short walk to Harrogate centre.

Really pleasant property with charm. Booked last minute, the owner greeted us, all prepared for our arrival. The room was beautifully presented, fresh and clean. Everything worked as it should, nothing negative to say about it at all. Within 5-10 mins walk of central Harrogate, through lovely tree lines residential streets. There is on-street parking, we arrived on Sat afternoon and parked right outside. At times when there are parking restrictions the hotel will provide permits to guests. A real find and no doubt we'll stay again.

It was a last minute thing, it worked out great.

Lovely hotel but could do with breakfast available

I really enjoyed my stay here. Although there is no breakfast there is a nice lounge to eat your own food in and there are a number of eateries & shops nearby. The owners are lovely and helpful, the place is nice and it is a good location in the centre of Harrogate.

Excellent hotel and location, I would recommend this hotel and if staying in Harrogate I would stay here again.

Very high standard of room and facilities. Very quiet and comfortable. Staff member welcoming and whole approach relaxed

Room was very modern and clean - radiator heat and no AC made it a little challenging to control temp in springtime but with patience and open windows it was possible. Great bathroom & lovely tea/cookie setup.

The hotel was nice but wasn’t a 5 star property clean and tidy slept well location was good

Lovely hotel, couldn’t fault anything about it would definitely recommend it and will definitely return

Easy check in and check out. Nice to go to a café for breakfast for a change. Clean comfortable and convenient. I will use the hotel again.

A very nice, small hotel in a quiet location, close to the town centre and with free on-street parking (permit supplied). Our room was on the top floor which was a bit of a climb up a fairly steep, narrow staircase. The bed was very comfortable and the room decorated well with tea, coffee and biscuits nicely displayed. The bathroom was a slightly on the small size but adequate and nicely dressed.

Excellent Room and Service will definitely be staying again- very close to City Centre and beautiful surroundings

The Grafton is a pleasant and well appointed Guest House, convenient for the centre of Harrogate. We found it inconvenient because there was no "in house" breakfast, and our room, though spotlessly clean, was up four sets of stairs in a garret with not even room for one armchair. My wife and I are semi-disabled and struggled with the place. To be fair, I booked in a hurry through Expedia because of a family crisis, and had I booked direct I would probably have checked these things before going for it, but I didn't notice either on Expedia or on the Grafton's own website specific information about disabled access. If I missed it, I apologise to the management but we have been under some stress. We saw no-one apart from a lady checking us in, and a cleaner who spoke no English. No sign of the owners at all over two days. But for many people this would be a decent place to stay, and is certainly good value for money.

Very clean check in no bother even though we were early short walk to centre Turkish baths worth the visit all good 👍 😊

Really enjoyed our stay at The Grafton. The property was very modern looking, clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the room was lovely and clean, with bottles of water, tea/coffee making facilities. The bathroom had plenty of towels and a nice selection of toiletries. The location was only a short walk from the centre of town and parking was also really easy, the staff provided us with a disc to put in my car where I parked just outside the hotel. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a nice, quiet stay in Harrogate to stay at The Grafton.

Great find in Harrogate close to everything and very comfortable rooms with free parking

Property is lovely and clean and very well presented especially for the money paid. We felt the mattress on the bed was very hard but again this is only a personal opinion. Would certainly visit again.

Lovely guest house! Had a very warm welcome from Mark the owner! He was most helpful and accommodating, helping with luggage and booking a taxi! The room was very cosy and warm and had a lot of lovely extras - which was a nice touch! Parking was good outside! Lounge also cosy! Would recommend a stay here!

Lovely property, lovely hosts, room amenities were fabulous as someone who doesn't really do hot water, it was lovely to have water and orange juice. Fantastic stay.

Will be returning to The Grafton as we couldn't fault the room.

Hotel very clean and area very quiet! Very close to town and helpful advice from gentleman who met us when we arrived at the hotel, how to get to town and lots of places to eat. Enjoyed our stay.

Excellent two nights in one of the large rooms. Bed was really comfortable and room was spotless.

Nice quiet spot on the edge of town but convenient for everything!! Can't work out the logic around the daily cleaning of the room....the cleaners didn't come three times and the daily chess game around the bed cushions was a bit annoying!! Why put them on the bed for the first day then remove them to a plastic bag on top of the wardrobe for the rest of the time?? Also, there needs to be non-slip mat in the bottom of the bath - its lethal when its wet...

Nice stay clean and easy walking distance from town

Very friendly welcome at reception. Room is a reasonable size, comfortable bed. Exceptionally clean. We hadn't realized that there are no eating facilities and breakfast had to be found elsewhere; there is an agreement with a nearby hotel to provide breakfast for an extra charge. Parking permits are provided, but space can be limited in the evening. Easy walk to the city centre.
