Hotels Near Nidderdale Green Way in Harrogate

We had been looking forward to staying in an up-market four-star hotel in up-market Harrogate; we were sorely disappointed. Things started to go wrong before we checked-in; we enquired about secure parking; we were told that the secure parking was directly in front of the hotel, not our idea of secure. We were, somewhat curtly, informed that it was full and that we would have to park on the street. No mention was made of use of the off-street parking availability at the sister hotel a few hundred meters down the hill, which we later understood could be used at the residents’ rate (£15 per night). We checked in to our “Deluxe Double Room”, our idea of “deluxe” is at complete variance to what we found; there was absolutely nothing deluxe about the room. The heating was off and the room cold. It was sp****ly furnished with, furniture that at best was Ikea, but more likely MFI. The windows were ill-fitting and had large gaps at the sides and bottom, allowing cold air in. The bathroom was sp****ly equipped with taps that are more style than functionality, it was impossible to turn the shower tap off with wet hands. The toilet seat was loose. The towel rail barely took the chill off the room. The room was not serviced on day two, for no apparent reason. We were later informed that the room was deluxe as it has a view to the front. The breakfast facilities are grossly inadequate, such that guests are required to request an allocated time. The self-service area is cramped and congested. There was only one toasting machine that required the bread to be put in twice to achieve acceptable results, increasing the congestion. We were allocated a slot towards the end of the breakfast period, some of the cooked food was not available and we were told that because it was the end of breakfast, no more would be cooked. Very far divorced from four-star service. To my mind, an English breakfast requires marmalade, the little pots of orange coloured jelly are what I might expect in a cheap boarding-house, not a four-star hotel. This hotel is one to avoid, it lets Harrogate and Yorkshire down in a big way. p.s I sent a copy of this to the duty managers for their comment before I posted it; they did not bother to reply.

The hotel looks fantastic on the outside. The rooms on the inside are very average, as was the breakfast. This was a hotel which ought to have the wow factor but doesn’t. Nothing to complain about, but I probably wouldn’t want to spend more than the odd night there. The on site parking is very limited but it turned out it was cheaper to park in the public car park just around the corner once we realised there were no spaces left on arrival.

We stayed at the Studley Hotel for two nights and found the hotel to be clean and comfortable. The cleaners we have to say provided a first class service and our room was immaculate when it was made up during our stay. The Orchid restaurant food was delicious and the service very good. We would have given more stars but for the check out experience whereby the receptionist told us she had been advised by the barman that “our friends had left the hotel and said we were to pay a £58.00 bar bill” ; we were absolutely astonished as we hadn’t had any friends staying with us at the hotel. After some discussion she agreed and we didn’t pay “our friends” £58.00 bar bill. However, the receptionist then produced two further bar bills for £19.50 and £10.50 which again was confusing as I always paid the bar bill immediately when I ordered drinks. However; I showed her the deductions on my bank statement account on my phone for the £19.50 but couldn’t find the £10.50 which I then paid her because we had intended to leave £10.00 tip for the room service cleaners who did a fantastic job. Hence the £10.50 we paid for the bar bill we didn’t recognise was this money we had for the cleaners tip. We tipped the Orchid restaurant staff £20 for very good service and we tipped the barman £5.00 which considering the barman’s comments to the reception staff giving us “our friend’s” bar bill we wondered whether we should have tipped the barman. Apart from the financial confusion above we found the hotel very good but a tip on future trips to keep all bar drink receipts. Special mention to the room cleaning staff and the Orchid restaurant staff.

Arrived to be greeted by a smiling receptionist called Fran, our room wasn't ready so left our bags in a room close to reception, trotted around Harrogate, The room was ready by 3.30pm,we asked for room 116,first floor,right next to the stairs(never hear the door opening or closing)as we have stayed in this room before . Great sized room, super king sized bed,great size TV,plenty Yorkshire tea bags and coffee,lovely powerful shower.Showers could use a small shelf inside so not bending up and down for shower gel/shampoo. Small comfy nap before dinner,dinner enjoyed in the on site Fat Badger restaurant. Delicious meal,good choice, not a huge menu but enough to satisfy everyone.great huge choice of wines,we settled on a lovely pino grigio,and even a cocktail in the hotel bar. Comfy nights sleep and an ample breakfast but journeying home.We will be returning for sure,its our favorite in Harrogate.Huge thanks to Fran on reception (and part time waitress) and also Dan on reception.Thanks for an excellent stay.

After an awful experience in our first Travelodge in Bristol last year where the room was dirty and the hotel in general very scruffy, we were pleasantly surprised with this Travelodge in Harrogate. We assume the location is also influential in a better and cleaner hotel. Our room was very clean and the buffet breakfast was very good 👍. We also had our evening meal there and my pizza was enormous and good. My husband is quite fussy and his pasta was very nice so he was a happy chap 😊 Reception was very helpful so our stay was very pleasant. This is the best Travelodge we have stayed in so far. We did stay at a different Travelodge outside Bristol for our rock and roll trip early this year and although the room was very clean the breakfast area was not that good. Our thanks to Travelodge Harrogate 👍🙂

A really lovely, rustic, warm venue, a little out of Harrogate away from the busyness. It's easy to find as it's just off the A61. We had a super-king room, it was in a little out-house next to the Inn, you walk past a pretty garden surrounded by fairy lights. The room had a very log cabin feel, clean and quiet with a lovely view of the garden. We had dinner in the Inn (the mushroom and spinach pie was incredible) prices were reasonable; £18 for a Pie meal and a drink on a Monday. Breakfast from 8 - 10am, it was the best breakfast I've ever had at a hotel! We ordered Smoked salmon with scrambled eggs, presented beautifully and tasted amazing; Cereals, pastries, overnight oats, yogurt and fruit available to help yourself to. The best part of the whole experience was the staff; every encounter we had with a member of staff was a positive one, they did what they could to make your stay an enjoyable one and dealt with any request with hast and were all extremely friendly. Tymo who greeted us and showed us to our room, the tall man and young blonde girl that served us at dinner, the older gentleman who served us at breakfast (super friendly and professional with a great sense of humor) I feel bad that we didn't get all of their names, but we literally couldn't fault any of them! A fantastic venue and truly deserving of a 5*, we would highly recommend it.

We booked here to celebrate being together five years & loved it. Staff are brilliant, such a friendly kind bunch. The food is so tasty, though the burger was slightly disappointing but everything else including breakfast was so fresh & tasty. Our junior suite was beautiful, so tranquil, so spacious & perfect for our stay. Carparking isn't ideal but other than that was excellent value for money. Thank you to all your team & we will be back, even if just for the Scotch Egg!!!! Lovely stay.
