I went to the toilet and got kicked out as there was 3 of us. She walked in whilst we were using her facilities twice. I am 18 i was going to buy a drink after however the language the women used was disrespectful and spoke to us horribly. I will never go back it is disgraceful the way she spoke to us.

We hadn’t visited the Harborough Hotel for years and hadn’t considered it for Sunday Lunch … it was a recent recommendation from friends that persuaded us to book for the Sunday Carvery. We weren’t disappointed and a great choice of meat was available. The selection of vegetables available was perhaps one of the best I’ve seen for a long time and it was great to see food plates that were so hot, they were given to you on a separate tray. This really kept our food hot whilst we ate. And the service from the staff was excellent and this was enough to convince that we will definitively return again for the Sunday Carvery.

Stayed in room 122 which was the last room along the corridor. Spacious room, double bed and single bed and reasonably sized bathroom. Room was very clean. On arrival we were offered a room on a higher floor but as my friend has some mobility issues due to a knee operation and the steps were steep, we stayed where we were. Mattress on the bed wasn’t very firm. As the fire door in the corridor was close to our room, it made it very cool (bathroom warmer than the room) and it seems windows are only single glazed. There is a generator of some sorts which you can hear when it powers up (every 15 mins). Didn’t eat at the hotel, breakfast was offered at £12.95 but got nice, cheaper breakfasts from independent cafes. Staff we had interaction with were friendly and helpful (remote to our TV didn’t work but was replaced quickly and without issues by a member of staff). Bar area and restaurant was very busy, clearly a popular place for both drinks and food.

Many aspects of the Harboro are very good, and I, and my father before, have been loyal customers for over 50 years. But, I am increasingly angry and fed up with how long it can take to get served at the bar in the afternoon. Regularly, there is no one behind the bar for several long minutes because the management leave just 1 member of staff to manage the bar, check guests in, show people to their rooms and God knows what else! I've seen numerous would be customers leave because they can't get served and, frankly, I'm losing the will to live as I've just been waiting for nearly 10 minutes to get served.

Bar is very good and if you like Indian food ordered at the bar, delivered direct to your table then the place for you as absolutely delicious. Very friendly place. That said if you are thinking of staying in the Hotel then think carefully. My room smelt damp, had only a high level window onto the corridor and although it had a blind when you turn over in bed the PIR picks you up and turns on the corridor light so it flashed constantly throughout the night. Bed linen was marked and to be honest looked dirty. Will not stay again but will use it as a pub if I return to Melton.
