We had the standard twin - the carpet and wallpaper were a little worn. But it is an old building and clearly updating is ongoing. We really did not mind as everything was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The staff were professional and friendly. Will definitely return and recommend to others.

This is a lovely, clean hotel based very close to Harrogate town centre. I always use this hotel when attending an annual conference at the Convention Centre. It is very convenient, only being a few minutes walk away. The hotel itself is quiet, and clean and the staff are always lovely. I would recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Harrogate town centre and I will be returning again next year.

Lovely hotel with lots of character

Really nice place to stay, perfect for our one night stopover to enjoy Harrogate the day before visting the Yorkshire Event Centre All of the staff we interacted with were polite and professional I couldn't give comfort full marks as the mattress was far too firm for me, resulting in back pain the following morning However after mentioning this to reception on check-out I was told this is something I could ask housekeeping to check before my next arrival so they can potentially allocate a room with a more suitable mattress for me The only fault with breakfast was cold toast

Returned to Harrogate & had a great time

We’ve been to Harrogate before & stayed at the Cairn,that’s the reason we used your hotel again. It’s proximity to the town and all the amenities make your hotel a great attraction,it’s always comfortable and the staff are always friendly & helpful.

Horrifically over-priced. Poorly-trained staff. Fire hazard: they lock the main fire escape at night and keep the key inaccessible.

Needed an overnight between rehearsal and concert and this nearby hotel worked out fine. Just one note: my single bed was far more adequate than it appeared on the website, probably just the angle of the photo but worth having a look at to improve the advertising
