Harrogate, North Yorkshire, HG1 2SR
Not the luxury break I thought it was going to be - disappointing.
Very disappointed with restaurant menu. Daily specials ( pie choice repeated on second night).
Upgraded to an executive double, certainly not worth it. Room very dark, needed all the lamps/ lights on during the day.
Came away feeling very underwhelmed
Disappointing
We have already emailed the hotel with our complaints. The room wasn t executive standard even though we paid extra for this. Staff at breakfast were unhelpful. Didn t ask us if we wanted tea and coffee and didn t explain that if we wanted to order from the menu we needed to do it immediately as there was a cut off time of 9.30. We were In the restaurant at 9am so could quite easily have done this!
The Old Swan Hotel says...
Thank you for your review, apologies you were not overly impressed. I have noted your points and will action asap. We are currently in the process of refurbishment. All our rooms vary in size, layout, and view therefore we would ask guests to contact Reception if they are unhappy with their allocated bedroom, we can usually find a room that is a better fit.
Kind regards,
The Old Swan
