Booked on the Classic Winter deal and upgraded to an larger room. Room very spacious and clean. Yes, the hotel is old but, and floors do creak but this gives it charm. We visited when the outdoor temperature was -5.5 but inside our room was warm, almost too warm in the night. The staff were all extremely friendly and efficient... More

My wife and I stayed for two nights 9/10 January, on a Superbreak Half Board deal at a cost of £184. Considering Dinner cost £24 each i.e. £96 for the two nights, then the room and breakfast cost just £88 i.e £22 each per day - fantastic value and less than the cost of a 2* B & B!! The... More

I am very glad we had a chance to stay at this hotel as I am a great fan of Agatha Christie. The hotel had unique and memorable features such as the Edwardian Breakfast/Dining Room and clunky lift. The location was excellent and there is a huge car park behind the hotel so there was never any issue with parking.... More

The hotel indicated that it was an AA 5* hotel, in my opinion at best 3*. Arrived at 2pm Sunday afternoon only to be told our room would not be ready until 4. Advised to take a walk into the town in the rain. Room was in the 'loft' small with a bathroom which was of very poor design. Possibly... More

My husband and I booked the winter warmer deal with Classic Lodges. We had a lovely room on the first floor at the front of the hotel. The room was clean and very warm. Bed, breakfast and a 3 course evening meal and a bottle of Prosecco was included for £99 per night for 2 people. We thought it was... More

ideally situated within easy walking distance of the town. The staff were excellent, particularly on reception. The room was comfortable and clean and the bathroom facilities were excellent. The hotel was really quiet and peaceful with a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. We had a delightful afternoon tea there. My only criticism is the cooked breakfast which, considering it was cooked...

The Old Swan is a lovely hotel with beautiful rooms set in in a quiet but central location in Harrogate. The food and service were very good and the staff particularly attentive and friendly. More

The hotel, though generally cleand and tidy, in our opinion is starting to look a little sad in places - and is in need of a facelift. Staff are friendly and courtious. However, one of the two breakfast mornings we had needed a lot to be desired. We were allowed to sit were we wished, and out "tea/coffee" order was... More

Hotel rooms 149-151 avoid! Noise from the kitchens below didn't stop during our stay,day or night! Room was cold and basic. Hotel lacked atmosphere without any 4 star facilities - for a better room, atmosphere and price go to the nearest Premier Inn. Premier Inn is not my preferred choice of hotel on a leisure break but would have been... More
