We paid for a double canal view room and requested a quiet room. We were allocated Room 515. Unfortunately Room 514 was next door and the couple in this room were noisy vocally, shouting, and the tv on loud from 5.30pm onwards. We called the night porter 4 times who visited room 514 from 11.30am to ask them to reduce the noise. They didn't. At 2.30am we had no choice but to vacate the Skipton hotel and drive home.We arrived at home at 3.30am. We could not sleep at thd Skipton hotel fue to high volume noise and noisy guests. Please refund our payment.

ok but very tired.

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. .

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 !
