2/10 - Insatisfatório

Disappointing
I was unimpressed by The Yorkshire.
Our double room cost over £350 (though I managed to get £60 off with OneKey). It was a box. The basics - the towels , the bed - were fine. But for that sort of money I’d expect a lot more. A nicer decor? Bottled water? A coffee machine rather than Nescafé sachets? Decent products in the bathroom? A bigger bathroom!? Nah. Nothing.
Perhaps a decent breakfast would justify the cost and maybe lighten my mood? Sadly not. It was an old fashioned buffet with old fashioned standards: rubbery fried eggs, dry (over-cooked) black pudding, very salty bacon. Stewed filter coffee. Weak orange juice. The sausages were okay and at least I managed to get the last packet of crunchy nut cornflakes.
Also, breakfast is served on the 5th floor, presumably so we can enjoy the views over the town. So why put everything and everybody in the back room where there is no view?
We were in Harrogate for a funeral that didn’t start till after 1pm. Could we, therefore, arrange a late check-out please? Yes, but for an extra £20, on top of the £350 already paid. And only until 12.30, not 1pm.
I’ve been fortunate enough to stay in some lovely hotels. And I’ve stayed on a lot of budget hotels too. The Yorkshire is sub-entry level hotel-keeping at premium prices. We were disappointed.
