4.0 / 10.0
Room was small but adequate, but the amazing views from both windows certainly made up for it.
Room was not dirty but lots of old cobwebs hanging from ceiling and fluffy dust on lights.
Beds were a bit uncomfortable due to thin mattresses (maybe time to replace with better quality). Bathroom was clean but a little cramped.
But ........ Despite the somewhat negative comments, we will definitely return to this hotel as we really enjoyed our stay.
The stay was made all the better for the attentiveness of the staff who were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
Highly recommend.

The staff were friendly and helpful but the bathroom was in a very bad condition. The towels and bedding was all clean but the hotel has definitely seen better days.

Check-in was fine. We were booked on a B&B basis via Expedia . This was confirmed on check-in but was later challenged by the second receptionist . Expedia had not confirmed the breakfast option. All was ok in the end.
The hotel was well located and such an easy walk to the seafront or into the main town. A basic room with all that we needed for our two night stay. I would stay again for the location.

This hotel is a little tired and date, the rooms could do with being refurbished and having new furniture but I do love the location, views and ease of parking.

Disgusting substandard room, ceiling water damaged and coming down, bath panel hanging off, wardrobe falling apart, table leg held together with masking tape, room smelling, nothing like photos, refused room, assistant manager victoria after contacting manager jo promised us a refund if we were not satisfied with room if we did not stay, which we did, 3 days later money has been taken from account, it shows you what sort of people are in charge of this run down building

Me and my daughter stayed for 1 night, it’s overall a really nice hotel to stay at if your in Scarborough. The only thing we didn’t like was the walk from Scarborough seafront to the hotel, its a little to much for a 3yr olds little legs and didn’t realise you could walk over the bridge to get esplanade’s so unfortunately took the long way around. But other than that the overall stay was great staff was really friendly and you get what you pay for.

Love the location of the hotel and the view. Was disappointed to find no hairdryer in the room and furniture definitely needs updating, but despite that, very clean and comfortable.

The hotel seems very dated, quite shabby in parts. Really good location and would be fabulous if the hotel was up to standard. Beds very comfortable but the wooden window frames were rickety and shabby. Old bathroom too with very dated decor. The bedroom furniture had seen better days too. The reception staff were very friendly though which made our introduction to the hotel very nice. With an update this hotel could be one of the best in Scarborough. Fabulous views!

We have stayed here before but we were in the sea facing room, it was lovely. The room we stayed in this time was on street but still had everything you needed.

The room was appalling for a price of £105 per night it was not worth even half that. The bath was filthy with lime stains from the continual dripping tap . The toilet would not flush had to keep using the kettle to fill up the cistern .

The only flaw in our stay was the scaffolding around the hotel made our sea view a rather unsightly one..But room Although dated was very clean and comfortable...Breakfast was plenty of choices and our stay was pleasant and relaxing 😌

Nice place to stay,great location,good views.we managed to get a parking spot but beware you could end up about 1/2 mile away as others found out.I felt breakfast was bit late,8.45 to 9.50 when you had to check out by 10.00.bar and entertainment was good but the staff need to cheer up a bit and be a big more happier like the lady serving breakfast!!

Very basic greeting. Information regards hotel limited. Breakfast served for only 45 mins. Only one person taking order, preparing coffee and toast and orange juice along with a warmish breakfast each day (we skipped our last day, just not worth the hassle) one other staff member came after half hour but the wait was so long. No organisation at all. Dinner was 6 till 7pm rather early so we went out instead. Quite a nice hotel but needs better customer service.
4.0 / 10.0
Very tired and dated hotel that caters for budget coach trips. Decor was tired and like something out of an old folkes home. The rooms had old, mismatched and cheap furniture straight out of the 70s. No fridge, not even an ironingboard (we asked!) Bathroom was poor and the water pressure for the shower was non-existent. It was a trickle rather than a shower. Food was average and uninspiring and the staff, whilst pleasant enough were clearly overworked and underpaid.
Its all so tragic as the place just needs some money spending on it to bring it kicking and screaming into the 21st century, at which point it could be really nice but until then we wontbe going back!

The hotel has a nice location but could do with some updating to make it really pleasant for visitors. Staff were helpful. Onsite parking is limited for the size of the hotel, there is a large council car park about a five minute walk away. Breakfast was good and comprehensive. Good location in terms of exploring Scarborough on foot and in a quieter part of the town.
