Liked the building/ room. Staff pleasant (but overworked). Didn’t like poor breakfast (lots of food/drink missing, arriving in dribs and drabs), stained pillowcases. Poor value/standards for money considering £260/night.

Perfectly pleasant but not luxurious.

Nothing actually wrong with the room, it was clean and pleasant enough but just not worth the money we paid. No bottled water in the room or nice touches - it was just average. I left my phone charger in the room but it disappeared when I went back to retrieve it.

The room was comfortable and clean. Unfortunately voices were audible through the walls on one side of the room as were music and footsteps from the dinng area below but otherwise I was satisfield with the accommodation. Having an on-site restaurant was a handy option for the first night although I did venture out on my second evening for tea at a local restaurant. There are scenic views of the town from near the hotel and the main road wasn't a disturbance. The staff were helpful and efficient. I would stay here again as I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to Knaresborough.

Lovely building and outside area for a drink. Unfortunately our room was near an air conditioning unit which was noisy so we couldn’t have the window open, it did turn off but really late. The room was good. The lads on reception were lovely and welcoming. Breakfast was terrible, tables not cleaned. Nothing left, juice empty and not refilled, no brown bread, no pastries. Undercooked sausages and full serving dish of them left untouched for this reason and bacon undercooked when it was finally replenished. Lots of unhappy customers grumbling about this. Would expect more from a hotel like this.
