Burn Hall Hotel

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was fine,, The room was clean, But the room needs a mini fridge"

Cedar Court Harrogate

8/10 Good

"If you have a room at the back very noisy and hot. The floors are very squeaky so people walking along the corridors may wake you up. Bar food stops at 5pm which is very early. Rooms only tidied when requested not cleaned or new sheets. Items were not restocked during the tidy session. Tried ringing room service called three consecutive times no answer ending up having to phone the hotel again no answer so I had to go downstairs to order the room service which is not the point of room service Rooms overlooking the car park are cooler as the Sun only hits in the morning but you are unable to open the windows or close the windows more than they already are Majority of the staff I spoke to were polite, one receptionist male in the morning I felt was quite rude."

Moxy York

10/10 Excellent

"We were able to get into our room early which was a bonus. Room itself was clean and comfortable. Bathroom was nice and shower was great. We opted for the included breakfast option which was really good. Hot and cold items and lots of selection. The location of the hotel was perfect for us. We were able to walk to almost every place we wanted. It is also on the City Sightseeing red bus route (between stops 5 and 6) which we took advantage of. Also it was only a 15(ish) minute walk to the train station. Would recommend and definitely stay again."
