The Cairn Hotel is a large Victorian hotel which may have seen better days but is still clean and tidy. It is in a convenient spot on Ripon Road within easy walking distance of the main attractions. The staff are very polite and efficient.
Our room was very spacious and while lacking some amenities like a minibar and air conditioning was perfectly adequate for a few days break.
An enjoyable cooked breakfast is available but the continental breakfast is a little on the poor side.
We did not have dinner in the hotel as there are many fine restaurants in Harrogate.

I stopped over here on my way down South. I found the hotel old and beautiful. Staff were friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautiful and it was only a short walk into twin. Lovely restaurants nearby.
Price was excellent. A lot of older people and perhaps entertainment in bar wasn’t to my taste but all in all a very pleasant stay.

Although we had an ok stay, it was a convenient location , but deco extremely tired , desperate need addressing. We paid £260 for 2 nights excluding breakfast I don’t expect peeling wallpaper in pretty much the whole room for this price. We paid £14.95 each for breakfast only had the 1 morning as this was also disappointing. Seriously needs improvement

Returned to Harrogate & had a great time
We’ve been to Harrogate before & stayed at the Cairn,that’s the reason we used your hotel again. It’s proximity to the town and all the amenities make your hotel a great attraction,it’s always comfortable and the staff are always friendly & helpful.

Breakfast in dining room very busy with coach party. My waiter shone with personal attention to me on my own, despite the crowd, ,couldn't do enough to keep me topped up with toast and coffee too. I was very impressef and happy to reward him for his brilliant service.
