The Crown Hotel is a "regal" (The Daily Telegraph) property in the spa town of Harrogate that boasts "traditional old-world charm" and an "excellent location".
It's less than 10 minutes' walk from the fashionable shops, bars and restaurants in the town centre, where you'll also find the renowned Bettys tea room, "famed for its elegant afternoon teas, delectable cakes and biscuits, tasty lunches and excellent service" (TheYorkshire Post).
The Grade II-listed Valley Gardens -- a 17-acre park with seasonal flower displays, a café, a children's playground, a small boating lake, tennis courts and a crazy golf course -- is a 5-minute stroll from the hotel. Opposite the main entrance you'll also find the impressive Victorian Royal Pump Room, now a museum where you can learn about the history of Harrogate water.
York and Leeds are both around 45 minutes' drive from the hotel, while the historic market towns of Wetherby and Knaresborough are less than 25 minutes' drive away. Harrogate is also a gateway to the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with popular sites such as Bolton Abbey, Swinsty Reservoir and Skipton Castle all around 30 minutes' drive away. The National Trust site of Brimham Rocks -- a large collection of natural rock formations in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty -- is also around 30 minutes' drive from the hotel.
Breakfast is served in the grand ballroom -- the oldest in Harrogate – where you can admire the original stained-glass windows and oak-panelled walls. There is also a bar for snacks and drinks throughout the day, and a restaurant that serves "hearty, well-presented European food" (The Daily Telegraph) and afternoon tea.

My only complaint is Parking. It would have helped if we had been told there is very limited parking and this must be reserved as soon as possible at booking.
We finally had to park on a road side but had to move the car before 9 o clock
The following morning. Not ideal as I have a hip complaint and my partner doesn't drive. Please make sure you mention this information to your clients.

Most of the staff who dealt with us needed winding up. 30 mins wait for soup starter. Chicken breast on menu when meal arrived it was 3 bits of fairly hard chicken. Room attendant just walked in didn't even knock although very apologetic. Took £24 off us for parking. The 3rd person we dealt with eventually gave us a refund as we had proof it said free (they do charge now). Checking out they tried to charge me £17.95 for steak although we had the £25 per person meal voucher. Arrived after 2 hour journey needed the loo near reception no loo paper. Alot of jam on spoon at breakfast even though table had been wiped and reset. No words spoken when key cards were handed to us I had to ask were the lifts were. Most hotels you get a welcome and usually are told your room number is whatever which is on whatever floor and you take the lifts or stairs to your room. But just nothing.

300 year old building so some creaky floorboards (commented on by some other reviews) to be expected but only a couple in corridors, not in the room itself. Spacious bathroom, lovely fluffy, big towels, comfy bed, good sized, quiet room. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice to suit all tastes.
Luckily got a parking space. Spaces are limited, but you book knowing there is a good chance you might not get one. Very much first come first served, but if you manage to get a space and pay for more than one nights parking, that space is reserved for you for the nights you have paid for.

The only problem was the car parking, there were only a few spaces at the hotel and although there was other parking nearby this was around £12 per night. We used an offer where it stated that car parking was free although we were initially charged for this, as even the hotel car park is charged at £12per night. This was eventually repaid although I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone to stay at a hotel that charges £12 per night for its customers as there are other places in the area who don't have parking charges.

Our experience would have been better if: We had 2 pillows each. If there was a pack of biscuits per person instead of sharing a pack of 2 biscuits. There was a soap dispenser at bath height- It is very hard to use the soap dispenser at shower height whilst having a bath. If there was a pen available in order to complete the feedback form in the room. If they did not charge £12 for parking- there is very limited parking anyway so why charge? We would only return again on a bargain deal.

As previously mentioned many times the parking was difficult. The check in staff wern't very helpful with regards the parking either. Providing a leaflet to patrons explaining the parking restrictions in the area would help. Also we were turned away from the restaurant on a wet Monday night with a tired and Hungry 11 year old because we hadn't booked. Nowhere on your hotel guide or menu for the restaurant said you needed to book a table, if you are putting menus in the room, at least put a sticker on to say "booking is advisable"

Our bedroom was quite dark. A standard lamp either side of the sofa would have been a welcome addition to allow us to sit there to read (however, lighting is a common failing in even modern hotels and I do have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about the difference between ambiance and gloom)! The food was good generally and breakfast was excellent with properly grilled tomatoes, lovely field mushrooms and well cooked black pudding. Overall a good stay and wouldn't hesitate to go back.

The car parking is not good at all. There is only room for parking for about 25 vehicles at the actual hotel.When we arrived we had to swap the car from place to place to on street parking in Harrogate. It wasn't until the first evening that reception gave us a parking permit to park on a nearby road, Parade Drive. This should have been communicated when we arrived
