The Helaina is a very high standard of bed and breakfast property. We stayed in a Premium Double room on the top floor. The room was very spacious with an excellent bathroom/shower. This room is reached by 6 flights of stairs of varying lengths (it is on the 3rd floor), so not for the infirm or those with heavy luggage. The breakfast needs to be booked, but is of a very good standard. There is no parking on the premises, but the B&B can supply a 2 day parking pass for £5. You can purchase as many as you need. The Helaina is very well placed for a short walk to the Castle and down the path to the North beach and the promenade which will take you to the main town and South beach in 15 to 20 minutes walking (or you can go via the church next to the castle).

The whole place is spotless and beautifully decorated. its on a great location with sea views from the communal lounge.

Very nice stay

This is a nice place for sure. Well appointed and great views. You can have breakfast added on which was just okay. Our big dislike is the size of the room...very small. We were in #3. The sea view was great. When booking I thought king bed meant a bigger room, given the cost. The bed barely fit in the room. The room was frustratingly small. There are a couple of bigger rooms, but at a higher price point. Staff were great. I would not book there again.

View out to sea and the curve of the bay and the castle all fabulous. The hotel was scrupulously clean. Only niggle the room No 7 was small it was big enough but only just.

Upon arrival we were greeted with a smile by the receptionist who supported us with sorting a parking permit, helped us with our luggage and ensured we were happy. The room was spotless, spacious and had everything we needed and that was specified on our booking. It also comes with the most beautiful view of the scarborough coastline and the castle at the top of the hill. Its only a two minute walk to the actual beach which is just down a path in front of the hotel. The beach is beautiful and very tidy (barely any littler). We didn't get up on time for breakfast, however the menu looked great and from what i could see caters for all (check online). We will definitely be going again as it was also great value for money.

The hotel was immaculate, breakfast lovely, staff so friendly and accomodating. Especially Luki who works so hard. Cant fault our stay.

Booked one night in a small room (room 10). Very comfortable bed and spotlessly clean. Everything you could want in the room. Space was a bit tight but adequate for one night for a couple. Breakfast was excellent. Would recommend.

Clean room and excelent breakfast.

Great location for cricket, Open Air Theatre and Cliff top walks. Friendly welcome. Small but well decorated room. Comfortable bed. Delicious breakfast choice. Great artwork on walls. Handy for shops and restaurants (within 10 minute walk). Spotlessly clean.

Lovely Hotel with excellent staff :-)

stayed there a few times now. we try not to stay anywhere else if we can help it. the breakfast is amazing staff are great and it's extremely clean. little touches as well such as biscuits in the tea and coffee tray. had a sea view at no extra cost. can't beat it.

We had a wonderful stay. The accommodation is excellent, the staff are friendly and professional and the breakfast was delicious. The only negative (and this was our fault for not checking) we were on the top floor and with a heart condition it was a bit of a task getting to the room. It’s not a criticism of the hotel, I would just say to make sure if you have any health conditions you book a lower room. We will definitely return, just to a lower floor. This really is an excellent hotel and would recommend it to anyone.

Very friendly clean comfortable stay, good food and service

Overall enjoyed our stay, beds very comfortable and room clean. Nice quality of coffee and biscuits. Staff helpful and friendly. Will definitely stay here again.

We had a perfect one night stay at The Helaina, it went so fast though and we were sorry to leave the following morning. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean with nice modern decoration. Very nice comfortable bed. The sea view was amazing. Breakfast was delicious, everything cooked to perfection. We would love to stay here again one day soon. Thank you Lucky for making us feel so welcome, and for the great service 👍😊

Excellent one of the best B&Bs i have stayed at easy 10/10.

The best B&B that I have stayed in Scarborough Breakfast was amazing room spotless

Beautiful hotel, excellent service, well appointed, clean rooms and delicious breakfast. Also perfectly positioned for exploring Scarborough.

Excellent hotel. Our room was compact but everything was just perfect. Luxury bedding and towels, shampoo provided. Plenty of Tea and coffee and especially milk pots. Good Breakfast choice. We had the full English. It was excellent. Parking on the street but easily found a space then on checkin the member of staff gave us a 24hr permit with no charge. Honesty fridge in the lounge, choice of refreshments. Would highly recommend.

We had a lovely time at the Helaina. The hotel is spotlessly clean, the furniture and fittings are very high quality ; the decor is stylish. The breakfasts were plentiful and excellent. Staff are very friendly. However, some of the rooms have a double bed in what is effectively a single sized room: (it is only just possible to squeeze past the bed !); if you have much luggage, the whole floor area is soon covered (under bed storage would have partly overcome this problem ). This lack of space is a serious drawback in a hotel that charges top prices: not good value for money.

Located in between North and South Beach looking out across the sea. Need a car or ability to walk distances to get to places. Very clean and comfortable and staff very helpful

The hotel was lovely and the staff could not have been more helpful. I will definitely be staying again.

Excellent hotel, very nice and courteous hosts. Many little “extras” which made the experience better. Excellent breakfast.

Fabulous stay! Had a room with a sea view which was lovely. Room beautifully decorated, very comfortable bed. Delicious breakfast, good choice of continental and cooked. Very friendly & helpful staff.

Lovely place to stay. You can purchase parking for £2 and we managed to get a space outside the b&b. Very warm and welcoming host. Room was clean and beautifully presented. Breakfast was delicious

Amazing stay at this fantastic hotel/guest house. The standard is second to none, and has a fantastic location overlooking the North bay. Make sure you book a sea view, as the views go all the way from Sea Life to the Castle. Room 4 has a superb bay window to sit in a take in the views The meticulous detail and cleanliness is down to a great team who clearly take pride in ensuring your stay is all it can be. Superb cooked breakfast in the morning to set you up for the day. Would definitely stay again when next in town

Very nice and friendly place to stay. Delicious breakfast and lovely staff

Parking was on street, but there was lots available right next to the hotel. Room was small but well laid out. WIFI was great and I was able to stream video with no interruptions. Bed was comfortable and lots of pillow choices.

Very clean and friendly, rooms are a little on the small size but adequate. Very good breakfast, we enjoyed our stay.

From when we checked in and to the checkout our stay was excellent, all the staff that we met and dealt with us were friendly and courteous ,Both the managers who served us breakfast each morning were attentive and asked us if our meal was okay and if we wanted anything else also asked how our previous day had been and what were we going to do today and gave us suggestions on different things we could do which helped us on our decisions for the day, The breakfast was excellent all the ingredients sourced from the local butcher and farmer , a great choice for breakfast including a vegetarian option, the room we stayed in 5 was a little cramped but the service and cleanliness made up for that, We will definitely book again in the future ,Thank you for a excellent stay!
