Ξενοδοχεία με bar σε North Yorkshire, United Kingdom

"Firstly, the location is excellent. It's about a 15-minute walk from the train station. (Image 1: Hotel exterior) The hotel is very close to the city walls, and other attractions are also within walking distance. Secondly, there's a small lift in the lobby to help bring down luggage. (Image 2) I was really pleased to discover this little lift. Thirdly, I recommend the Yorkshire Museum, which is within walking distance. It takes about three to four hours to explore, and they have Chinese audio guides. Image 3 shows the many brochures and tourist information available in the lobby. Image 4 is of the lobby itself. Image 5 shows the bathroom. Image 6 shows a room with one double bed and one single bed. Image 7 shows the riverside view from behind the hotel. Image 8 shows the interesting toilet flush handle. Image 9 shows the room equipped with a kettle. Image 10 shows many areas of the hotel decorated with Monet's paintings, which is very cozy! Overall, it was a pleasant experience!"

"Stayed here with my wife and our 2 grandchildren on 13th August for 1 night ,it was our first ever time staying at this hotel and although the location is excellent and from the first look of the hotel it looks amazing, the size,the architectural structure is stunning, the entrance is grand and once inside the lobby is huge with a big staircase in the middle. However after checking in at reception we took the lift to our room on the third floor, and for such a big hotel the lifts are way too small (supposed to fit up to 8 people, maybe 8 children but definitely not 8 adults). We had a family executive seaview room,fairly large sleeping area,1 double and 2 single beds and although the bathroom was modern, tiled from top to bottom, it had a bath with shower/tap combo instead of a walk-in shower area or cubicle, the room itself was very old fashioned and in need of an update, cracked and water marked ceiling and when I presumed the people in the room above ours were taking a shower the ceiling started leaking,dripping into the middle of the room wetting the carpet, we reported this one of the reception staff who just said they would visit the people in the room and see what was causing the leak ”probably using the shower with the curtain outside the bath” they said , we never heard anything back so it seemed like they didn't care. There is a nice large outside balcony seating area which would be nice to sit and have a drink over looking the beach and sea in the hot weather or on a warm night but on a night none of the outside lights worked so was very dark which was a shame. Breakfast options are very limited, sausage, bacon,eggs,beans ,fried tomatoes, toast and cereal . We didn't notice until the morning we left and I'm sort of glad we didn't but we found mice or rat droppings on the carpet,along the edges and in the corner of the room! Overall it's a shame as this hotel was probably amazing 30 - 40 years ago, needs a lot of updating to the rooms and just more general maintenance and TLC to to hotel could make it Grand again albeit very disappointed and will not be staying again unless it gets a complete renovation in the near future."

"Warm welcome given on arrival. Able to book in early as room was ready. Comfortable, warm room. Great food when dining at night and superb selection at breakfast. Was able to leave luggage whilst exploring more of York. Have stayed here before and will stay again. Bus stop close by enabling access to city centre, train station and out of town designer village."

"This hotel has great style! From the interior design to the cocktails, everything was excellent. Although breakfast isn't a buffet, there are plenty of options, very local and English. The hotel even has a basement that served as a shelter during WWII and has now been converted into a spa – very cool, definitely worth checking out. The hotel pantry also offers complimentary snacks, fruits, and drinks. It's truly good, and the location is fantastic. The record player and vinyl records in the room are a wonderful touch."

"Very central to Harrogate. The decor of the room does require some upgrade (peeling wallpaper, stained carpets). The bedding was very thin, duvet and pillows. Shower was very weak pressure. Overall, an average stay. Not bad but not good either."

"Lovely hotel with a lot of history in an excellent location - has the added bonus of a bus stop right outside with buses travelling directly into the city centre. The staff are very warm and welcoming and go out of their way to make your stay a great one. Will definitely return!"

"This hotel truly exceeded my expectations! Not only is its location superb, with a back door directly leading to the train station, which is incredibly convenient. But more importantly, the hotel itself is really unique. The rooms are spacious, and the facilities are complete, even providing an ironing board – it's absolutely fantastic! This is, by far, the best value for money hotel I've booked in the UK so far!"

"The location is great, and a morning stroll through the town was lovely. The only downside was that the hotel's air conditioning wasn't working. I contacted the front desk three times, but to no avail. The first time, the lady at the front desk suggested turning it on and off multiple times to activate it. The second time, she came to the room to demonstrate, but when that didn't work, she said she'd go to the server room to adjust the AC settings, which also yielded no results. The third time, when I contacted a different staff member at the front desk, I was asked, 'Has someone already tried to fix it?' Then they brought a fan, repeatedly saying 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.' They explained that the AC cooling system couldn't be activated because the weather in York was cool. It was just 'I'm sorry' after that. It was the first time I'd heard such a reason for an AC not working. Nevertheless, the town of York is still very beautiful."

"We booked two lovely ”King” rooms - very clean and comfortable, in superb settings. The hotel is very conveniently located to allow a short walk into the town. We stayed for two nights, and there were busy weddings on both days - but there was minimal noise, and the wedding guests added to the lovely atmosphere. The hotel appeared to be almost fully booked for both days, so finding that only ONE lift was working was less than helpful (we were told that the other lift had been out of action ”for some time”, due to the hotel ”awaiting spare parts”?) Annoyingly, the one working lift only went up to the 4th floor, so to reach our room on the 5th floor we had to hump our suitcases up the stairs - minor inconvenience, but unexpected from such a prestigious hotel. Our biggest gripe was (a.) the lack of available parking spaces (one car park had a huge marquee erected on it for a function) and (b.) being told when checking in that there was a parking charge of £18 per night - even though there was no mention on the website or on the booking details. It felt rather ”cheap and petty” for a hotel to have to stoop to fleecing their guests for parking fees to park at their hotel! We estimated that there were around 150 cars - so guests with cars are subsiding the hotel by over £2500 per night. All-in-all, a thoroughly enjoyable stay in a lovely hotel set in lovely surroundings - we would definitely stay there again."

"Pleasantly surprised after reading reviews but was so much better than I thought, as soon as I got there guy on reception friendly very helpful, sorted car parking for us straight away £6.00 for 3 days reserved so can come and go as pleased excellent value for money , other staff friendly approachable nothing is too much trouble , we were located on second floor room was clean bright bonus of having a bath, only thing I would say bed bases need upgrading as wood had collapsed on one side of ours, tea tray wasn’t topped up but asked guy at reception and the gave us a bag full so not an issue, breakfast was fresh and hot and great views to eat breakfast to, waitress was lovely and friendly, the bar area was clean and bright beer was nice and fresh and reasonably priced. Overall a pleasant stay and would return again mainly for the breakfast view, the staff and the location"
