    Shower temperature kept going cold whilst showering. Not really a problem because it was only for a a second or two at a time and woke me up quicker! Floorboards really creek, which is expected for such an old building, but not great if you’re a light sleeper or your partner gets up 2-3 times in the night! You can’t reserve/pay for parking in advance which is frustrating when you book that particular hotel because it has parking. Thankfully, Harrogate have parking permits allowing you to park in designated streets near the hotel for 3 hours at a time from 9am-6pm Monday-Saturday.

    Great location in the heart of Harrogate. A lot closer to the convention centre than I expected. I’ve stayed in many hotels in Harrogate and the walk to the convention centre was much easier and quicker than hotels that were advertised as being closer to it on the booking.com website. Breakfast was really good, with lots of choices. Bed was really comfortable. Our room had a lovely bath and shower.

    Our dog is well trained and not a big dog. We had to sit in a separate room to eat. Maybe a part of the breakfast room should be cordoned off for owners with good dogs. Also, we decided to eat in for the evening but because we were in a separate area, l think we were forgotten about as we waited quite a long time for dinner.

    Central Hotel, great with the dog. Some 'old' people moaned about the dog being in the hotel, but then again gives them something to whine about.

    Website says parking on site however I counted approx 20 spaces, all taken and quite cramped.

    The room was spacious. The hotel is ideally located for a trip to Harrogate.

    £12 per/night parking, NO Electric Car Charging Points in 2024 ? Hotel main areas architecturally beautiful but all feel a bit unloved, definitely in need of a refurbishment and some new carpets etc.

    Location is excellent, Breakfast was excellent and the staff were all friendly.

    Paintwork in some corridors in need of some attention. Our room had no sockets by the bed. A long mirror would have been useful too. A little bit dated overall.

    We could only get a cozy double so way smaller than we are used to but the bed was pushed up against the wall. Once of us had to climb up and down the bed to go to the toilet. No bedside table, the window was broken so we had a draft all night. We told reception nothing was done to help for our second night. There was water damage on ceiling so it needed redecoration and made it feel grubby and a picture was hanging off the wall. This was fixed after first night. Something had been spilled down wall and you could see all mark all over where it had been wiped. The room needs redecorating.

    We love the crown, it’s old elegance and it’s why we keep coming back.

    Lack of parking at the hotel and the cost of alternative parking.

    Unfortunately the bed was too hard for my liking and didn't sleep well the first night but I spoke to the lovely girl on reception and she arranged for a mattress topper to be fitted. 2nd night sleep was lovely. Hotel decor is a little dated and could do with an upgrade but it didn't spoil our stay.

    We arrived for the weekend with another 2 couples for a friend's birthday, it was a smooth check-in. We had a table booked for evening meal the food was lovely. The staff were super helpful they brought out a birthday cake which had taken with and they gave a bottle of wine on the house. Nothing was a trouble. Breakfast was beautiful with lots of choice.

    Car parking: We would have preffered to park our car on The Crown Car Park for the 2 days we were there, but did manage to find a space not far away which cost £13 per day. We did not realise parking would be an issue,. Once parked, we did not use the car as we may have not been able to find a space on our return which we had paid for.. Bedroom: We just found the bed to be very firm which was not very comfortable for us and found the room quite dated. Breakfast: We were a bit dissappointed when we asked a staff member for the Brown sauce and there wasn't any. Tomato ketchup and mustard were available. We felt The Churchill suite were breakfast was served was quite dimly lit, we tried to sit by one of the lamps in order to see what we were eating.

    Location was very good, we were able to drop our lugguage at reception whilst my husband went to find a car parking space. I upgraded our room prior to arrival which was very big and spacious. We enjoyed our breakfast each morning which there was a good selection to choose from.
