Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Arden House is highly regarded for its comfortable and well-appointed rooms, many featuring spacious layouts and views overlooking a picturesque, tree-lined street. Guests appreciate the excellent breakfast selection, which includes both buffet options with homemade jams and cooked choices like a full English. While some guests have found certain rooms to be on the smaller side, the convenient location near Harrogate centre and the railway station-approximately a 5 to 10-minute walk-makes it easy to explore the town and its amenities, including Betty's Tea Rooms.

The breakfast was really good with plenty to choose from. a good home-cooked full english was available!!! the hotel had its own parking. This was great. there was plenty of tea and coffee in the room.

The shower and bathroom were way too small, a very cramped room for 2. i noticed cobwebs around the light. there was no bed or towel change each day. The bed wasn't made.
