Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise The Franklin's ideal location, just a short walk from Harrogate's centre and close to shops, bus and train stations, as well as nearby restaurants and a cozy pub. The rooms are frequently described as very comfortable and clean, often with the bonus of a mini-fridge stocked with fresh milk, though a few guests have found the bathrooms a bit small. The freshly cooked Yorkshire breakfast is a highlight for many, especially the granola with fresh berries, contributing to the feeling of great value for money in a quiet location.

The location allowed easy access to nearby facilities.

The room was smaller than I expected, and it felt a bit cramped. There was also a noticeable draft from the window. The noise from the street was surprisingly loud, even late at night, and it disrupted my sleep

the room was large. it was decorated to a good standard. the en suite was large and super clean. the bed felt very comfortable.

the breakfast quality could improve. i think yogurts and fruit should be available with cereals. better quality local ingredients are needed for bacon, sausages, bread, and jams.
