I spent a wonderful two nights at Balmoral in Harrogate. The hotel is situated in nice grounds and very close to the town center, making it super convenient. The rooms were clean, spacious, and extremely comfortable, with a massive king-size bed and lovely furnishings, including a sofa and an LCD TV on the wall. The staff members were incredibly friendly, attentive, and efficient, going above and beyond to enhance our stay. The quality of the Wi-Fi in some rooms could use improvement, but overall, the service was top-notch. The only downside was the dining experience, as there were limited options for pasta. However, the hotel offers great value for money, especially considering its fantastic location.
