Poor attitude by money grabbing receptionist

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.

Indifference of staff. Small room Cooked breakfast unappealing and just warm. Poor choice of evening meal

Our hotel of choice for stays in Harrogate

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.

Lovely location and grounds but needs some investment to tempt us back.

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.

Adequate but not memorable.

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 hotel, great location, superb breakfast

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.

Fir the price Bedrooms were disappointing

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.

A bit of a let-down.

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?

nice stop for a short stay

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

Wonderfully old values of comfort & service.

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.

Charming English hotel

Loved how they have valued the old architecture and decor in and around the hotel.loved the fact that Agatha Christie disappeared here, and the Agatha chair. How clean it was and how well maintained the old furniture and decor was inside the rooms. Staff very pleasant, food was lovely. Would definitely go back again.

Food a bit pricey
