stayed one night for a short break. Hotel corridors look tired but rooms quite contemporary. They forgot to upgrade the bathrooms. Our toilet system was a sani flow type, very noisy. Discovered all toilets in the hotel the same. Bath water did not flow away until the noisy pump got to work. Bathroom also needed more lighting. Can't believe this... more

Stayed here for one night on business. Hotel room was pretty small (even though it was a double). Room was dark, and the finish was pretty poor. Wonkey cupboard doors, wires showing instead of coved in etc. Generally a poor finish. Bathroom was big but very dark. Bath was generally grubby round the edges. Worst was alot of the rooms... more

Don't be fooled by the slick PR about a makeover - it is less than skin deep. Our room was not large enough to swing a cat in, there was no heating in the bathroom, the anaglypta on the walls looked like it had been there for thirty years, there were wires trailing below the wall mounted TV, and the... more

Folio have refurbished the hotel - I guess the designers drawings and promises were fantastic - certainly the overall... more

after reading the reviews I was a liittle nervous on taking this break, I need not have worried I do not know how people can make some of those remarks unless they are use to staying in the Ritz. Yes the hotel is old and some cosmetic redecoration is needed but the cleanliness, the rooms , staff and food make... more

we have stayed at this hotel quite a few times and have always been pleased about our stay but this time the breakfast has let the hotel down the metal trays with lids are a pain as you have to keep moving them on and off and when there is a queue of people there getting past from one to... more

Excellent receptionist. All the staff were pleasant and efficient. Food was extremely good but the breakfast was a little cool because of being under buffet lamps. Extremely clean throughout the hotel.Parking was wonderful as the bays are right in front of the hotel. We will certainly be going to the Yorkshire again as we were very impressed with the hotel... more
