First, the positives - rooms had been renovated to an acceptable level. Location is good. Hotel looked understaffed, or staffed by non-motivated staff (with notable exceptions, especially the delightful man at the front desk who took our bags to our room), Based on previous reviews we did not try the restaurant other than for breakfast, which was adequate, However, on...

The Majestic is large, very stately but very friendly. In German the word ' Gemuetlich' is most apt. Our room was superb. The staff, food and general atmosphere made poor weather not so bad after all. I really recomend this hotel. More

Myself and my partner were here in early May to visit some friends who live in Harrogate. The Majestic certainly lives up to its name in places. The public areas are all filled with grand chandeliers and almost transport you back a hundred years just by walking through them. The facade of the building itself is also grand and imposing,...

If you like an impressive Victorian Hotel with lots of chandeliers this hotel is for you. Bedrooms are good and well equipped. The reception rooms, bars and restaurant hark back to the days of Empire. The Majestic is an impressive building with an interesting history, there is a book of over 50 pages in your room detailing its history. Breakfast... More

The Majestic is situated very close to all the attractions Harrogate has to offer. The facade and public rooms are very 'majestic' but our room was in need of a facelift, especially the bathroom. Breakfast had a very good selection but the cooked food wasn't hot. More

A very pleasant experience. The hotel building is grand and tastefully decorated throughout and our room was spacious, comfortable and clean with a lovely view overlooking the grounds and Harrogate. The staff were friendly and professional. We would definately recommend this hotel and look forward to staying again. More

We went for afternoon tea on Sunday 6th May 2012 with an old friend for her birthday. I used to go every Sunday in my late teens for afternoon tea, it became a ritual with my friends. I thought it would be really nice to go again with my friend who is like a second grandmother to my kids. The... More

Staying at the Barcelo Majestic was like going back in time to a more elegant era. Our room included a history book which tells of all the previous visitors - including Winston Churchill and the Queen (when she was Princess Elizabeth!). I'm not usually one to hobnob with royalty and tory prime ministers, but in this case I'll make an... More

I booked this for a hen weekend break for 9 girlies. I was travelling for out the area so checked prior to date that we could use facilities before checking in (this was confirmed as "not a problem". Check in was ok as 2 rooms were ready early so we all used them to change etc. We went for the... More
