What guests think

At Skipton Hotel - formerly known as Hotel Rendezvous-Skipton, travellers report a scenic canal-side setting and generally friendly staff, but repeatedly mention dated rooms and facilities, hot or noisy rooms at times, and inconsistent value for the price.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with several guests praising tidy rooms while others found mould, unpleasant odours, or maintenance issues. Leisure amenities such as the pool, sauna and jacuzzi are appreciated but frequently described as tired, with occasional closures or faults. Breakfast is widely praised for choice and quality, while evening meals and bar prices receive mixed feedback, from tasty dishes to lukewarm plates and costly drinks. Expect a scenic, functional stay with friendly service, but dated rooms and variable facilities.

The room was very basic but clean, the bed was super comfortable, had an excellent nights sleep. The hotel is in a great location where you can access the canal side and have an easy 30 minute walk to Skipton. The spa facilities were shabby, jacuzzi not in use, steam room with little steam and pool area very tired looking.

Positives: nice lobby. Can store bikes locked up inside. Pleasant check-in. Negatives: very dated room. Fairly far out from main areas of Skipton. Pool was closed (we are doing coast to coast cycle and this was the main reason for booking this hotel).

We stayed at the then Rendezvous Hotel a couple of years ago and it looked tired. The restaurant, food and service were generally all good. A couple of years later and under new management, we expected some positive changes but unfortunately didn't experience anything that could be considered better than before. The rooms and especially the leisure club look like they need renovation and even though they are advertising one night stays during January offering dinner in the canalside restaurant, it was closed due to low resident numbers. In summary; overall it's tired and needs some renovation, service and staff were generally good and the meals not bad but relatively expensive.

Hotel very tired. Room stank of sewage and toilet kept filling up with very dirty water when some one took a shower in a room above us. Rooms were clean but on my stay the cleaners didn’t clean very well or leave us with replacement cups, tea coffee, milks and biscuits. Had to obtain it all from reception. Swimming pool was lovely and warm sadly the roof was in a real mess and needs replacing. Breakfast was lovely and the choice of evening meals were good, I did learn the hotel has just been sold and is going to have a well needed renovation. I don’t fancy returning unless things are put right.

A nice hotel it’s sort of slightly faded modernish built. Room was ok. Gym and leisure was good. The service in the restaurant could be a little more polite and polished. I heard customers told at breakfast ‘they were 5 mins late’ ‘they had to sit where they were yesterday’. I asked for coffee and was told ‘you have some don’t you’ yeah that was finished and to be fair then replaced politely

We like staying in an average hotel if it's clean and well maintained.... we had silver fish in the bathroom, shower was dirty, carpet's definitely seen better days-stained. The leisure club side... ceiling looked dirty and unkept and it looked liked they'd tried to hide this fact with some strange blue material hanging off the ceiling, although the pool area and jacuzzi seemed clean it wasn't well maintained with broken slats with big holes. Showers weren't running warm in the afternoon or the next morning in the pool area. I asked the man on the reception if I could leave our wet towels with him and he said no as he had nowhere to put them due to the container they would use was being used for a ceiling leak. He asked me if I'd take them to reception which I did and then the lady said i shouldn't be walking round with wet towels. Breakfast was ok, no delivery of sausages that morning, but everything else available to have an English breakfast. A good selection of pastries, cereals and juice. Tea, coffee and toast was brought to you but only 1 slice of toast each so we had to ask for another. Not sure if this was to stop waste, but the girl didn't listen properly if it was as I'd asked for an extra slice for me and my son but she brought one for my daughter too. The restaurant was pleasant, new blinds could be something they replace as they were bent in places. I wouldn't stay here again unless they updated decor, carpets etc and it had a good clean. Isn't worth the £143!!

Location was ok. Nice vote to the rear and regular bus service into Skipton right outside. However, initial room was filthy and generally worn out. All walls were dirty. The bed was in very poor state with fraying fabric on the base. The head board and wall above was disgustingly dirty. The staff however were helpful and moved us to another room. That room was an improvement but far from perfect.

Stayed here for one night for the Christmas markets and the room was disgusting. We had to move from the first room as it smelt like drains and given another room. The second room wasn’t any better.. There was mould all over the bathroom. Mould in the room kettle. Marks on the wall. Overall would not recommend. Staff have been most unhelpful.

The hotel is tired and in need of some attention. Our room was a superior room, but very disappointing, in need of a deep clean, although bedding and towels were clean. furniture tatty, plastic chairs, carpet and coach could do with a good clean! The bar area was welcoming, staff friendly. Breakfast was fine, did get very busy, but staff did their best. Great location, would consider staying again but would ask for a different room !

We didn’t actually stay, we checked in after a long wait at the desk, but when we saw the room we checked straight back out again. The room was disgusting, carpet all stained and dirty, terrible smell of stale fat from the restaurant, only a hand held shower, no wall bracket, and a view of a skip out of the window. We did take pictures before leaving to find an alternative hotel.

Room was large and clean. The restaurant and bar area are very pleasant. There was a good choice of food at breakfast, it was freshly cooked and of good quality. The staff were helpful and friendly. The rooms themselves are in need of an update. The bathrooms are tired looking. The furniture needed to be replaced as the sofa sagged, the base of the pull out bed was shabby and a couple of drawer fronts were damaged. There was a draft coming from the window.

Overall the stay was reasonable. However the headboard on the bed was in need of a repair as it was all ripped. When I walked into the room the radiator had been turned up to full so it was about 30 degrees in the room. The accompanying details sheet in the room stated that check out was at 10am. I was woken up at 8am by someone trying to break into the room. This made me uneasy. I was the further alerted by someone knocking on the door at 9am saying they were housekeeping. I felt very harassed like I was being kicked out well before the stated check out time. I did feedback to the colleague on the desk when I checked out but no offer of compensation or discount for the distress it caused me. He said he would pass it onto housekeeping however.

ok hotel, location good , however our room was on the groundfloor with views of the car park - people walking past could see into our room and we were unable to leave the patio doors open . I wonder wehther this was because we used our tesco vouchers to pay for the room. The room was old fashioned and basic, the bathroom was mismatched , the floor worn and grubby , the room had a damp smell . The whole place was "tired " Breakfast was good , some of the staff were slightly brusk. .

It started off with check in at 4. Our room wasn’t ready until 5:40. So we had to wait with a toddler for nearly 2 hours. (We did get a free drink voucher each for the inconvenience) When we got into the room, there were footprints on the couch and some kind of dried spillage on the floor. On top of that, there was only 1 bed in the room despite booking for 2 adults and 1 child. The sleep through the night was horrific, I can only compare it to trying to sleep in the Australian outback at the height of summer. I had to open the sliding doors into the car park at 1AM and cool the room down so my son could sleep. One of these things wasn’t too bad, it was the fact they all happened. I could nitpick at other things too, but there’s no point. The staff were as helpful as they could be in their situation.

We had a really nice weekend at the Hotel Rendezvous. The service we received was generally very good and efficient though we were delayed slightly checking in because two members of staff were having a slightly heated discussion with each other, that's the only reason I haven't given a five for service. Things got much better after that and we had a great time. The food was excellent including the buffet breakfast, a good variety of food and the hot food was hot! We also enjoyed the very good value steak night on Friday night. We brought a birthday cake with us as it was an 80th birthday celebration and the staff were really helpful and accommodating with that and brought it in at just the right time. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and ours had a sofa in it. The only thing I'd say is that the outlook on the canal side of the hotel is much nicer than the road side, so if that kind of thing matters to you, request a room on the canal side! The lounge and bar areas of the hotel are really comfortable and welcoming and the conservatory dining room is lovely too. I used the pool, steam room and sauna which were pleasant and not too crowded, the only disappointment was that the changing room was not totally clean and someone had left litter by the pool (including an empty yoghurt pot with spoon, bizarrely) which no one had cleared away. Otherwise, cleanliness was excellent in the hotel.
