The staff were very helpful and accommodating. Our luggage was safely stored when we checked out.

The room was tidy and had a nice bathroom. Included in the room was a kettle and a nice selection of coffee and tea.

The breakfast had a good variety of tasty food including a full cooked breakfast, omelettes, toasties and smoked salmon bagels.

The hotel is close to North Bay beach, Peasholm Park, Scarborough Castle, South Bay Beach, the North Bay Miniature Railway and Sealife Scarborough Aquarium.

It was a very pleasant and comfortable stay and I will definitely recommend staying here.

This is really lovely guesthouse located above the North Beach in Scarborough. We were warmly welcomed by Jill on our arrival.
The rooms are comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had a sea-view room which is well worth paying the extra for with views down to the beach in one direction and up to the castle in the other. Breakfast was great with plenty of choice and the staff were very nice and helpful.
You can easily walk to a wide choice of restaurants within 10 minutes as well as down to the main town and both beaches.

Beautiful but compact room.We stayed in the small double as it was the only one left available when we booked, but perfect for a nights stay. The room had everything you would need and more including dressing gowns and a fan for warmer nights
The breakfast was one of the best that we've had in a long time. The scrambled egg and smoked salmon was exceptional. We will definitely be back but would look at a Seaview room and a few more nights.

Of course, great views from the front. Watching sunrise and Sunset colours across the sky were amazing. The decor of the hotel is lovely and our bedroom was quite pleasant. Shower is adequate a large double bed in the front bedroom made the room rather small. Not everybody wants a full breakfast and there needs to be some provision of just toast and coffee with a subsequent change in price.

We had a lovely room on the top floor. This is up 6 small flights of stairs so not for those with mobility issues or heavy cases!

The Helainia is convenient for the cricket ground and serves a nice breakfast. Our only quibble was having one small bar of soap for both hand washing and use in the shower during our stay (we were told toiletries were not replenished). It was a bit of a struggle to make it last three days. It would have been nice to have separate bars or soap and shower gel in the room.

An excellent B&B near all the attractions.

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).

Great view..our room was too small.

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.

The Perfect Penthouse

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.

Excellent hotel and friendly professional staff

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.

Beautiful but...

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.

Lovely place to stay in Scarborough

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

Superb accomodation

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

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.

Excellent 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!

Really lovely place and staff. Breakfast was fab! Great location - room was small but thats cos the bed was so big & comfy! Ensuite was a bit tired. The shower wasn't great and the toilet roll holder was broken so kept sliding off - easier to keep it on the floor! will definitely be back though.

A lovely stay with the highest possible standards

One of the best B and B's we have ever stayed in. From the minute we arrived, we felt welcome and at home. We had a lovely room at the front of the property with a terrific sea view. The bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever slept in and the room was clean and comfortable. There is a lovely front room to enjoy a drink in and the 'honesty bar' work really well. The decor of the property is modern and very tastefully done with some lovely pictures in the hallway and breakfast room. The breakfast was cooked to perfection and really set us up for the day. The couple who run this place obviously work really hard and deserve credit for their endeavours.

Best B&B in Scarborough

If i could rate it higher i would. 3rd time of staying here now and it wont be the last. If you can stay in the penthouse you should, it is an amazing room with spectacular views, well worth the lofty stair climb. Breakfast is always amazing and the staff are so friendly and attentive. I've stayed in higher priced hotels that don't hold a candle to this wonderful b&b in a beautiful area of Yorkshire.

Home for a rest .

Our stay at the Helaina hotel was ok. I wouldn't say good .We payed extra for the penthouse room ,the view was lovely, the bed was comfortable and it was very clean.
But we are both in our mid 60s and the room was on the 4th floor with no lift . I've never stayed anywhere where the floorboards creaked so much , every time my husband went to the bathroom in the night i was woken up and it probably disturbed the people in the room below us.
There was no reading lamp in the living area so i couldn't read while my husband was having a sleep. The breakfast was plentiful but they got my order wrong twice.
There's NO bar just a couple of fridges with a selection of drinks and a pad to write down what you had taken , they didn't have anything we liked so it was a waste of time.
Had i known all these things i wouldn't have paid so much and booked for four nights .
