An excellent stay, great location overlooking the North Bay, but a short walk via the church to the South Bay. A lovely clean, bright and recently decorated hotel. Friendly and efficient staff and an excellent, well cooked breakfast. We would definitely return.
staff were extremely helful and very friendly.. the lady who checked us in was so nice and couldn't do enough for us. The room was very clean and comfortable we had a room with a sea view which was lovely. A really enjoyable stay .. a big thanks to all the staff that made it so good.
Friendly staff and helpful with local information. I will stay at this hotel again. There is limited free parking, but permit street parking is available in front of the hotel for a small fee for 24hr. I managed to get a spot right in front, so I didn’t mind paying for the permit.
Been here before and it ticks all our boxes.
Fantastic sea views. Really clean and well kept.
Attentive staff.
Tasty breakfast.
Probably our "go to" hotel when visiting Scarborough
The hotel appears to have had a recent revamp, and all aspects are modern and spotlessly clean. The bedrooms are adequate without being spacious, with ensuite shower rooms, many with sea views overlooking the quieter but more scenic north bay, ranging from the castle ruins to the sea life centre. The hotel's private parking is being resurfaced at present, so parking is on nearby streets with permits available from reception at £5.00. Breakfast in the modern dining room was excellent, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Scarborough break.
If someone took you in blind folded you would think it was a brand new build!.
The smell of fresh paint, new carpets and general cleanliness.
The location is a lovely quite one with fantastic views of North bay (room 32).
Had a great stay, easy parking, only £5 for 2 night stay directly outside hotel steps!!.
Just one down point with room, would have been nice for a full length mirror.
Would definitely stay again.
Probably the only hotel we have felt like taking our shoes off in as we entered, seemed very clean. Only issue was a buzzing/humming coming from one of the plug sockets, this was raised the following morning.
Hotel itself is well positioned and you can see it’s been recently modernised and is very clean.
However, the advertised parking included was not the case. It’s under renovation and no word of this is given on the booking or the following emails that came to my inbox after confirmation. We had to pay for street parking which had the hotel’s parking garage been full, I would have paid. We were expected to pay even without the advertised garage, which was one of the reasons we chose this hotel.
The other issue was the smell. The entire building smelt of drains, and when we entered our room it was evidently coming from plugholes. I suspect a greater problem is at hand here and it needs addressing.
I stayed in the single compact room which was ideal for me as I was at a function so just needed a clean and comfortable overnight stay.
I found the room to be very clean. Plenty of drawer and wardrobe space.
A vegan option for breakfast was available for me.
Overall I found my stay to be excellent value for money
