Great Stay
Pros:

We had an amazing stay at Cedar Court Harrogate this weekend. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly pleasant, friendly, and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble, and they really made our stay special.

The hotel was very clean throughout, and the food was absolutely lovely. Everything was well presented and enjoyable.

What really stood out, however, was the staff. They were all amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic experience. Their kindness and professionalism made our weekend even more memorable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Cedar Court Harrogate to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable break. We can't wait to return.

Housekeeping (Fawlty Tower's)
Pros:

Stayed here several times in past must say the food is really good quality hotel great location. So this time felt like their service had slipped obviously new team members in restaurant and I fully understand everyone has to learn on the job but felt the guy who was mentoring the new member wasn't really advising them very well on service & should of stepped in and helped . Bar staff were really friendly and welcoming . So 2nd day bearing in mind we had upgraded to a suite for birthday treat came back to our room tea /coffee tray hadn't been replenished so went to reception and I felt like I was putting the lady in question with ginger auburn hair out of her way and she offered no apology. So finally on day of checking out we went for breakfast which was very good only to find when I returned to our room to freshen up before leaving for our onward journey to find housekeeping were in stripping the bed and cleaning the room so I explained to her I hadn't checked out yet and I need to use the bathroom and she smiled and just carried on cleaning and we had to wait at least 10 minutes before she left this really spoiled our experience of this hotel so when I mentioned to the receptionist the same lady I asked for replenishment the day before, she offered no apology and did say it shouldn't of happened and she would have a word and that they were short on housekeeping staff which to be honest it was clear to see but I'm on my holiday and I really don't need to be told of the hotels staffing problem.Also when I got asked for feedback it felt like I was dealing with a robot ,all told think most of Frontline staff were lovely but think the management could benefit with more training

Excellent place to stay in Harrogate
Pros:

Ideally located just off the Stray ,this is a smart newly-refurbished hotel with great facilities. Don’t be put off by the Cedar Court brand! This is much smarter than the Wakefield one ) .

Great Hitel
Pros:

Had a couple of days this week at Cedar Court, we stay here two or three times a year when visiting Harrogate. Love the location and walk into town, or if you don’t fancy a walk the bus at the back of the Hotel is every 10mins into town. We had a Delux room on the 3 rd floor and the walk in shower is great. Room 313 the view opposite the tippee has restricted view to the park as there is a huge tree in the way.Love the lounge area very relaxing .
Only disappointment is the car park fee has gone up to 10 pounds for 24 hours.surely if you are a resident this should be free.
Have stayed in a couple of hotels in Harrogate but do always come back to Cedar court.
It always seem cheaper to book with Booking.com rather than directly with the Hotel.
Restaurant is excellent.

Stylish hotel
Pros:

I stayed here for a business trip and it served a purpose. Toiletries in the bathroom were “The White Company”. The room was clean, modern and stylish as was the bar and reception area. The corridors and lift were dated. I wasn’t told you need to hang a sign on your door to get room serviced so was a little annoyed to get back to my room at 18:30 after a long day of work meetings to find no clean mugs and hand soap still empty etc but reception came relatively promptly to try and sort.

Fabulous venue, staff, service & food
Pros:

We had our wedding breakfast in the beautiful Imaginarium. We were able to go in the day before to decorate. All our guests commented on how it was the perfect venue. Right from the start the staff Stacey (Hotel Mgr), Pagi (event coordinator) and Steve (exec chef) helped us to plan the perfect celebration and meal. The meal was spectacular and more than worthy of a 5* hotel. Our guests were unanimously impressed. The staff on the day were superb the care, attention to detail, professionalism and warmth were second to none - thank you so much to Matteo, Pablo, Anne and Harry behind the bar. I can’t recommend this venue enough. Thank you once again.

Great Value, Great Location Hotel in Harrogate
Pros:

We recently stayed at the Cedar Court in Harrogate. Booking in advance a little we got a relatively good deal on Booking.com. About £80 per night.
The hotel is very upper class and great value for the money. The interiors are very well decorated and maintained. The bar area is spacious and comfortable with reasonably priced drinks and snacks.

We were greeted by Ilaria, on reception who couldn't help enough. She was very polite and courteous and gave us all the information we needed to check in smoothly. She obviously knew we were new to the place and reassured us answering all our questions without fuss.

We were lucky to get a recently decorated superior room at the front over looking the park, car park and the main road. The room was very clean, especially the bathroom, which was served with ample towels and soaps etc. The bed was also very comfortable indeed.

The location, if looked up on google may give you the impression that it is a long way from the town center, it is not. It is only a pleasant 10 minute walk along some leafy wide streets into the center. Because of this we didn't use the car at all during our stay.

On car parking, there is ample, but it is not free! You must remember to register your car on arrival at reception and pay the £10 for each 24 hours. Paying for parking at any hotel you are stating at always feel like a rip off and kind of takes away the smile a bit. We usually book hotels with free parking, but these are getting harder to find these days.

The only negative was the breakfast which we booked separately a £14 each. Most of it was quite acceptable with a good selection but was let down badly by the fruit juices being watered down to an unacceptable level. Why would you do this? It won't save the money hoped for while wrecking the breakfast experience. Come on Cedar.... what was going on here? Other than that, the food on offer was good and you could have as much as you wanted from the buffet type setup.

We would definitely stay here again but probably skip the breakfast next time and instead, take a walk into town to Wetherspoon's which is well worth a visit in the old Winter Gardens building. If you have time, go and visit Spofforth Castle, a ten mins drive away and the boating lake in Knarebourgh, near the castle. You won't regret this on a sunny day.

Once again thanks to Ilaria on reception for making us feel special and most welcomed at the Cedar Hotel.

Fabio and Grave were great
Pros:

A beautiful ornate building lovely room but on arrival I was met with an unhelpful staff member who barely looked up at me - disappointing and spoilt the while experience for me. The I was served by the cheeriest and most helpful of fellows Fabio who bent over backwards as did Grace the next day on reception, Thank you both.

Overall, the best hotel I have used.
Pros:

"Overall", probably the best hotel that I have stayed in, having spent approx 4 years, on and off, in hotels over the past 35 years.
Situated on the edge of town, yet only 10 minutes easy walk to the town centre and the station, hence do not need the car.
The staff were extremely obliging and polite, the hotel was very clean, the room was clean and the bed comfortable, the breakfast was all that could be wanted, but if something was not there that you required, then just ask. The Ambers restaurant was a little pricey, but the food and service was good. Everythng concidered, I could not really fault this hotel.
If asked could I recomend improvements? Yes. Just two.
Car parking should be free for staying guests. (Sadly all hotels in Harrogate charge for guest parking).
Air conditioning would have been an improvement in the bedrooms. Although our 5 nights stay was the hottest nights on record for May. An open window and closed curtain did improve the temperature, and because of the hotel's location traffic noise was absolute minimal.

Lovely place to stay in Harrogate
Pros:

Cedar Court is one of those historic buildings that give an old-world feel to visiting Harrogate, but with some rather nice updates. The room we had was clean and comfortable and delivered the essentials. The breakfast was delicious. And just hanging out in one of the many lobby rooms was a nice way to while away our time. Best, it's located just a few blocks from the town's center of action, most especially, Betty's Tea Rooms and Imagined Things, a small, well-curated independent bookshop.

This is not worth the money
Pros:

Attending and wedding evening party, checked in the room to find the double glazed units have failed as there was condensation in the panes,room has dusty, instructions on how to use the coffee machine but no machine just packet instant standard Nescafé and for £165 for the room plus additional £12 to park the car in the grounds I find to be very insulting then when leaving both lifts where out of order I would suggest to steer clear. I would not call this a four hotel.

Great family break
Pros:

Stayed for my 60th birthday celebrations with my family, 7 adults, 1 x 5 year old and 2 dogs.
The hotel is very good with really friendly staff.
A very easy check in seeing that there were 4 rooms.
The restaurant and bar are tastefully decorated with a good atmosphere, mainly because of the professionalism and friendliness of all the staff, nothing was too much trouble.
The food at breakfast was good quality and lots of it.
Was the hottest days of the year but was great to sit outside in the shade in comfortable seating at the front of the hotel with drinks.
Everyone had a really great time and would recommend and will definitely be back.

Wonderful break away
Pros:

Made to feel welcome as soon as we arrived. Lounge area and restaurant have a feel of luxury, instantly felt relaxed and looked after. Staff couldn't be more helpful, even preparing us a snack after food serving times. Only downside was WiFi wasn't the best in the bedroom., making it impossible to watch anything on the TV. Despite this, we are already looking at dates for a return visit.
