Everything was great. Staff were lovely and a very good breakfast. It wasn’t easy to park my van, but it does warn you parking is first come first served.

Very clean, all the staff were friendly even though it was very busy in the build up to new year. We ate at the restaurant and the food was great. Chose it mainly cos it was dog friendly but would certainty go back without the dogs, is a short walk into Ripon centre and there looked to be lots of nice bars and restaurants.

Good dog friendly hotel. Was our wedding anniversary hotel informed on booking. Nothing was done. My husband tried to make it a special evening but wasn't the sort of place for that! The food was ok but we would class it as pub grub. Nice to have fresh veg though. Room was very warm, but very clean. Nice grounds to walk round. We would stay again .

The hotel was lovely and on such a sunny day we really enjoyed the terrace and gardens. The food we had in the afternoon was delicious! However, the breakfast was not so good. Food items were stale even though we didn't go down particularly late. Was very disappointed with this part of the stay but the rest was great.

Comfortable hotel in a good location, with friendly and helpful staff and attractive outdoor spaces (terrace and grounds). Generous breakfast buffet. A nice touch: guests who opted not to have their rooms serviced were given a voucher for a free drink at the bar. Good for the environment, albeir money-saving for the hotel. Not so good: a large hotel like this with two upper floors should have more than one lift, and the fact that it had broken down during most of our stay underlined the problem. Many of the guests (included my friend and myself) were elderly so this was not convenient. The recent refurbishment possibly focussed on the decor (which was nice and quirky, in a kind of Victorian pub style) at the expense of practicality. Overall, I would recommend this hotel.

Rooms were fitted out with comfortable bed and a good shower. Interior was finished to a high standard. Breakfast was very tasty too. I'll be back! Ripon is a lovely place to visit in the Yorkshire Dales with lots to see and do clsoe by.

Room was clean and comfortable. Shower was effective and bathroom was spotless. Food was delicious and not to much to make you feel stuffed! There was a gap in the black out curtains at the top that let the light in. The hotel exterior lights were on all night, which is environmentally insensitive, as well as kept me up! Also the doors werent that soundproof, so when the revellers came thundering along at 2.40am, what little sleep i had managed to get was short lived! The restaurant felt more like being in a pub than in a hotel. We had to order at the till and the atmosphere felt like being in a pub... next door table were effing and jeffing, which made it uncomfortable, seeing as we had gone to an effort to get dressed up. Food was good, though!

I have stayed at this hotel in its previous guise at Ripon Spa Hotel. It was run down and needed a major refurbishment, but staff were wonderful. Now, after being bought by The Inn Group, it has been refurbished, very nice decor, but the young staff are not 'interested' or bothered enough to assist clients. I watched them playing on their phones, whilst other guests were looking for help! Such a shame!

The room was well-equipped, very clean and comfortable. The staff were generally very friendly, and breakfast was tasty. Our main disappointment was a blanket ‘no’ when we asked to check in half an hour early, with no apparent effort made to justify such a hasty refusal.This made our stay feel less personal overall, which was a shame when everything else was of the high standard you would expect from a hotel in this price range.

The property was beautiful. Checking in was disgraceful having to check in with a computer and having no one to do it for us when we got there we thought was terrible service. The staff came across like they couldn’t be bothered and everything was too much trouble. I asked for a dilute for my daughter, he offered me a fruit shoot so I said she’s doesn’t like them can I just have a dilute? He said well I can… it was uncomfortable and I felt this wasn’t a big ask. And he should not have given me a frosty reception! Lovely place terrible staff. There was one man there that helped us in the lift apart from that no one could be bothered!

The good: hotel and location. Bar was nice and food was good. Room was great. Bad; made everyone wait till 3 for check in which made a long wait and seemed disorganised. Hotel and bar was too hot, staff serving food was sweating. Breakfast was a shambles, no coffee, no cups , very little on hot plate and no one seemed to be in a hurry to restock, we did eat at 0930 and it finished at 10 but still very poor service

I did not like the restaurant being part of the public bar area. We booked a table and when we arrived people were using our table as part of the drinking area and had to be moved. We could not enjoy our meal because of the noise and disruption you can expect from a public bar although the food and service were good. Dogs were also allowed in the restaurant/bar and we found that to be rather unhygienic and not what we have come to expect from properties recommended by Hotels.com
