BOOK RIGHT NOW!!

I highly recommend this hotel and always stay here when in Scarborough. I always pay extra for the sea view and it is well worth it. Breakfast is great and it is an easy walk down the High Street from the station. Buses are excellent all around the area, eg. Bridlington, Filey, Whitby, Robin Hoods ay, etc. I love the seafront walks. Thank you to all staff.

Yvonne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was generally clean and pleasant, staff were friendly and helpful. One of the reasons I chose this hotel was it has a pool, however after booking I received a message from on hotels.com from the hotel saying the pool has been shut since August, slightly disappointed by that so didn’t pack my trunks. However on arrival it became apparent this wasn’t the case and the pool and other leisure facilities were actually open! So denied a morning swim.

Sink were blocked. Changed my room to worse one with full heating on in a warm weather. The bathroom was extremely inconvenient and so narrow. Although the receptionists were friendly.

The hotel and staff are amazing

Everything is beautiful for the price only let down was the breakfast the day of our stay there was lots of kids who was rude and unruly we had breakfast before here when we stayed and it was beautiful and relaxing but due to the amount of kids filling plates piled high items was empty and there was a lot of queuing and waiting around

Some way short of 3 stars

Lovely staff but hotel could do with a huge facelift. Lobby is nostalgic but sockets hanging off the walls bring you back to earth with a thump. Tinned fruit for breakfast was a nice twist.
jeremy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Love the a Victorian style hotel. Glad it's been kept up . Good location to shopping and resturants , good views. The part of the hotel we stayed in was very tired looking as though we were in the staffing

Fab dog friendly hotel

Brilliant location - 5 mins from South Bay beach. Room was basic as dog friendly but was clean, comfortable and had storage. Dogs allowed in bar area. Multi-storey car 5 mins away. Indoor pool at £6 a session. Will definitely come back.
