“Folio Yorkshire Hotel”

The Yorkshire Hotel

Save Review
4 of 5 stars
Isle of Man
13 Jan 2008

After reading the reviews I was a little worried about this hotel - but on the whole I was pleasantly surprised.

Please note this is now a Folio and not Swallow hotel - and don't confuse with the Swallow St George.

Folio have refurbished the hotel - I guess the designers drawings and promises were fantastic - certainly the overall "look" of the rooms and public areas are good - but the builders must have been on the cheap as execution of the plans looks to be a bit hit and miss.

Parking was dead easy - no problem in getting a space outside. Reception excellent and we had a excellently positioned corner room with double aspect - looking towards Betty's Tea Rooms.

Lifts are small and slow - but there are stairs! Corridors are a little plain and institutional, but our room was quite good and had everything we needed. Bath was a little tatty - and there was little heating in the bathroom. Overall quite comfortable and not as noisy as I had worried about.

Breakfast was OK - small help yourself tinned fruit and cereals. Hot breakfast cooked to order, quality was fair - let down was the coffee - which was cheap instant coffee made in a pot - with the coffee powder showing - poor.

Overall hotel was OK - we got a good price of £75 B&B - not sure I would want to have paid much more - but at that price good value.

Harrogate was brilliant and I loved it - lots of great bars and restaurants - and Betty's - I have fallen in love with their Yorkshire Curd Tart and Cinnamon toast, and best tea for years. Had a great meal at the Harrogate Brasserie Hotel - live jazz and great food and service. This must be a star place for a weekend away, and the Yorkshire hotel is right in the middle of everything.

“needs a refurb”

The Yorkshire Hotel

11 Oct 2007
0/1 found this review helpful

hotel is well positioned for Harrogate witha fair sized car park the room we had 128 was of a good size and fairly clean but very tired
Bathroom very poor pealing wall paper and wood work pealingand scratched
corridors very shabby
bed room chairs unbelievably un comfortable but bed not bad sheets and bedding good-Tv seen through a sea of mist even though a digital reception
tea and coffe making hidden on a tray in a bottom drawer took us 2 days to find it.and you cant lift the tray out with the items on the tray, cant see the reason for hidding it away
Recepion good restaurant and food very good private party of 50 on second night was excellent.
Heating v hot but easily turned off in room noisy at night with 3 disco on opposite side of street 100m away so dont open your windows.
the whole place needs a massive refurbishment but i dont expect it will get one
my expectations where not shattered but it could be improved in most areas
Staff where good and very plentiful and attentive.
Hotel very central for the shops and the conference centre

“loved the hotel”

The Yorkshire Hotel

19 Sep 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

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 up for all this. Would not hesitate in returning.

“badbreaky”

The Yorkshire Hotel

1 Sep 2007

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 another the food was luke warm bacon and sausage were tasteless and staff were slow to replace food and at the price of b and b this should have been better everything else in hotel was great.

“Elegant victorian hotel”

The Yorkshire Hotel

30 Aug 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

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 and with Harrogate.
For old world charm you couldn't find a better hotel
