This Accommodation is in Scarborough town centre. My Room was very clean. There is a lift inside this hotel. On the Ground floor there is a Reception desk, if a member of staff aren't there ring the bell. Staff customer service skills were very good. Breakfast is at 08.00 am. Parking is nearby. This hotel is only a 5 minute walk to the Promenade. This hotel is only a 10 walk to the train station

The staff are all very pleasant and nothing is a problem. The best thing is the breakfast wow lots to chose from award rated cooked breakfast is a delight and a continental selection to many to list, so no problem finding something to eat. It could do with a bit of modernisation to keep up with other hotels around the area. Clean comfortable beds with all provisions iron ironing board fan etc If your looking for somewhere central near the shops beach its ideal but comes with noisey seagulls especially in nesting season. Ear plugs are provided and were much appreciated. All in all a god short break with lots to do.
Would I stay again yes!!

Nice one night stay in a well located hotel. Really helpful and friendly staff. Thought it was towards the top end of price point as breakfast and parking not included . We paid extra for breakfast and were pleased with the quality, quantity and choices of food. Minor issue with light in bathroom but reported it on check out and confident it will get resolved.

Very central

Lovely little hotel, very central to town. We chose the hotel as we were there for a festival at the Spa, it is just a few minutes away from Scarborough Spa. The staff are friendly and very kind. Plenty of restaurants and cafes around, and it's just a short stroll to the beach. The hotel also provides earplugs as the seagulls can get rather loud.

Not Scarborough Fair but Scarborough Outstanding

Despite the more than 200 year age of this building, this is an extremely comfortable establishment, with just the occasional creak to betray it's heritage. Situated near to the beaches, the shopping areas and the theatre, the hotel has a refined atmosphere with very efficient, friendly service all round. The breakfast is served in elegant surroundings with a very enjoyable variety of options, making for an overall extremely pleasant stay. We will return.

Scarborough Riviera

This is an elegant B&B establishment, situated right in the centre of Scarborough, giving access to beaches and buses, station and shops, as well as restaurants and the renowned SJT Theatre. Despite being an elderly building, the rooms are very comfortable and the breakfasts of a very high standard, with friendly, attentive service. Parking (as everywhere in the town) can be difficult, but loading and unloading is permitted outside the hotel and car parks are within easy reach. A most enjoyable visit which we hope to repeat.

The location was excellent being close to the shops, bars and restaurants but the noise and mess from the seagulls was disappointing to say the least and other properties in the row lowered the tone somewhat. However, we had a pleasant stay although the room was stuffy despite the fan and the window not opening did not help this fact

Oh dear, oh dear

Oh dear! What a very disappointing stay. From check in to check out we felt we were an inconvenience and we were very glad to depart. If Basil Fawlty was around this would be his ideal home. Check in was unfriendly, unwelcoming and rather rude. The lift, an antiquated affair, with two noisy sliding doors did at least work but must have disturbed the occupants of nearby rooms. Our room was quite the smallest hotel room we have ever encountered, more akin to a small single than a double. It was also insufferably hot. A fan had been provided but this was not up to the task. Breakfast was adequate and greatly helped by having friendly staff. If there is one thing we can thank this wretched Covid pandemic for it is the demise of the dreaded breakfast buffet. Table service it was and this proved fairly efficient. Our breakfast was cooked to order and was of a fair standard. Pastries were old and rather stale. I feel desperately sorry for much of the hospitality industry but if the pandemic could clear away places like this then it would be doing us all a favour.

Nice place to stop whilst in Scarborough.

We had a nice little break staying at the Riviera. It’s situated perfect in Scarborough. Just a few minutes walk to the main shops, bars, restaurants and beach.
Apart from the squeaky floorboards and ridiculously sprung internal doors banging shut, it was pretty quiet.
Our room was the top floor at the back, pretty small and basic but clean and pleasant.
Breakfast was nice and the staff were fantastic.
Overall, a nice place.

Disappointed

Small room and informed by manager it was not one of the smallest. Over priced £80 per night more like £45 b&b Very tired looking decor with wall paper lifting off at the seams. £5 for a parking voucher but states less in hotel book.Breakfast of smoked haddock nice but small portion, kept having to ask the two waitresses for a coffee refill when only 3 including myself in the dinning room. Old fashioned cage lift with 2 heavy doors to close, very noisy right opposite my bedroom and twice had to go up or down 4 flight of stairs as lift doors had not been closed properly. General lounge areas very nice giving false hopes of similar standard in my bedroom. One night was enough when a Travelodge literally next door for same or less rate.
