Expensive 2 night stay so expected a little more luxury. Room wasn’t cleaned and towels weren’t changed. Would have been a nice touch to have had bottled water supplied. Upkeep on breakfast buffet was poor, again not value for money. All in all a little disappointing

We stayed over for the concert at the open air.
The hotel was clean and well maintained- all the staff were polite and friendly. Our room was clean. The bar was lovely and the restaurant and breakfast was perfect.
The en-suite was very small but clean.
The only thing that would have meant full star rating would have been a better parking arrangement, - a quality mattress and blackout curtains. That being said we would definitely stay here again.

Lovely hotel and very friendly helpful staff.
We had the family room and it was very spacious and clean. The beds and pillows were very comfy.
There was a great choice for breakfast and the staff were always topping up the food, they could maybe benefit from better toasters but that's a minor problem.
The hotel is in a lovely location and very handy if going to a concert at the open airport theatre

We had a wonderful overnight stay when attending a concert at the open air theatre. Parking was a bit problematic, as the street parking around the hotel was extremely busy (it was also Armed Forces day) but we hit very lucky in a small car park next to the Scarborough Arms, which was a 5min walk away. Upon check in we were greeted by a lovely, welcoming, friendly lady, who was playing music for the concert we were attending which was a welcoming touch. The hotel was clean, modernised, lovely decor and our sea front room was spacious, with wonderful sea views. En suite was small, but newly renovated, practical and clean. Bed was comfortable and there were portable fans as it was the hottest weekend of the year. Hotel is a 15-20min walk to the theatre and we had drinks in the bar upon our return. Breakfast was plentiful, a good selection of hot and cold options, served in a lovely airy dining room below ground floor level. Staff were attentive, helpful and very friendly, ensuring our stay was a pleasurable one. They couldn't do enough for you. Overall we would definately stay again and recommend!

The hotel was perfect location for open air theatre 15 min stroll down the hill.
Lovely decor in the hotel very clean and fresh looks like it’s had a recent refurbishment.
Breakfast nearly perfect just a small recommendation to chef - just cook the sausages a little longer for that golden brown all over.
Our only issue was the room was way too small felt a little cramped everywhere and I’m a big chap , felt a bit like a broom cupboard at the top of the hotel.
Maybe next time we can be offered a larger room or better options in the booking process.
So stay away from Room 34 if your of big build.
Overall though very nice place

We stayed last Saturday for a long overdue break away. The staff (all of them) go above and beyond for everything.. whether a couple of extra tea bags or general queries at reception. Our room was immaculate and looking out over the sea and so very peaceful. We left feeling rested and although we had never stayed over night in Scarborough, both my husband and I said we would book another break very soon simply based on bring a wonderful experience.

Bed was a double but the mattress was comfortable in the middle but if you want to sleep nearer the edge you have to be careful not to fall out it is so soft. Food was good in the evening.

We upgraded from our initial shoebox room, which were surprised to have been allocated, as we had our dog with us and there was no room even for his basket! Our upgraded, sea view room was excellent. Good to have a hotel that supplies hair conditioner aswell as shampoo as most only supply a shampoo that strips the hair of all moisture. Good sized mugs, but flimsy plastic cups for the bathroom were disappointing. All staff were very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Very limited, seemingly unmarshalled car park in the street behind the hotel. Could be a problem parking from spring to autumn.

They describe the room as cozy but it's a box where you can hardly turn around. The photos are very misleading. They didn't answer my email about where to park as they advertise self parking. Never found out where it is as parked on the road where I was lucky to find a space. They advertise free wifi but on this occasion there was a problem - it didn't work. Can happen but they could have warned us about it when checking in. Could have offered us a free drink or breakfast as compensation as we paid for it. The insulation is non existent, you can clearly hear people walking about and every time someone turns the water on somewhere it gets very noisy. The only good think was the sea view but again, we paid extra for it.

First impressions when entering was being greeted by a friendly receptionist, who made booking in simple and gave accurate details to find our room. Everything was clean and very tidy. The room was on the top floor and was reached by stairs, we booked a small double room with a shower and toilet and it was very cosy and well presented. Again spotlessly clean. A sea view greeted us though the winter weather reduced it some what, I’m sure in summer it would have been spectacular. We had dinner in the hotel and the food was very good, possibly a little too much salt in the seasoning for my liking but excellent all the same. We finished with drinks in the bar served by another exceptionally friendly staff member. After a good nights sleep we had breakfast which was again very good quality, and some of the best bacon I have had for years, plenty to choose from the eat and again helped by friendly staff members. Overall a great place to stay and would visit again.

Lovely location, however attention to detail not so good, lovely sea view, but dirty windows, dirty window sills, and dirty bathroom cabinet. No iron or ironing board available without having to go back to reception to ask for one, I didn't do this so not sure if they would provide one. But for a 4 star hotel I would expect that in the room. Very small bathroom and shower and if you are on the larger size the shower is an issue.

Very hotel but has space and stair issues!

Hotel is beautiful, and clearly been refurbished recently. Our room looked very hi spec and the beds are comfortable - it was great to have a separate bedroom for the kids.

However - our family room was on the third floor, with no lift. If we had known this we would not have booked. Trying to get a three year old and a ten month old up three steep flights of stairs, with all associated luggage l, buggy etc was not fun.

Parking was also not clear - we drove around for a while looking for the hotel car park, or the on street parking as advertised but everywhere was restricted. We called several times whilst driving around to ask for instructions but no answer. It was only when we parked in a restricted zone out of desperation and ran into the hotel reception to ask for help did we discover that they had ‘disc’ parking cards for us to use.

The room, while very nice and well decorated obviously had been designed with style over common sense - the entryway and the second bedroom with the bunk beds were cavernous with a lot of empty space - but the bathroom was absolutely tiny, with no surface space to put anything. For four people this was difficult! The sink was so small it was difficult to get the kettle under the tap to fill up! Why on earth they would leave metres of space in the bedroom and entry hall empty instead of building a bigger bathroom is beyond me.

We would stay again - but only if guaranteed a ground floor room!
