The Crown Hotel Scarborough - Superior Twin Room

This was easily one of the most disappointing hotel stays I’ve ever experienced — a far cry from the 4* experience advertised. The hotel is outdated and clearly hasn’t been renovated in years. The online photos are incredibly misleading, showing fresh, modern rooms that look nothing like what we were given. Our “superior” twin room looked tired and worn. It had food remnants by the bed, suggesting it hadn’t been properly cleaned, and it appeared someone had been sitting on the bed when we arrived. The room had been set up as a double despite us booking a twin — we had to request housekeeping to separate the beds after check-in. The bathroom was just as poor: the shower controls were literally hanging off the wall, exposing internal piping, which felt unsafe and unkempt. We also visited the on-site spa, which was advertised as a “serenity retreat.” In reality, it felt more like a dated community leisure centre. The pool was cold, the hot tub barely warm, the steam room wasn’t steaming, and the sauna didn’t reach a proper temperature. Treatments were disappointing too. Breakfast the next morning was frankly appalling. The hot food was rubbery & the “fresh” fruit clearly tinned. We were originally going to dine in the hotel the night before — thank goodness we didn’t. Even our taxi driver warned us not to eat there and confirmed the hotel has significantly declined since COVID. Definitely wouldn’t stay here again or recommend. It might have been #1 before but not now!

Like so many hotels in British resorts, it suffers from having been there a long time. However the staff and location more than make up for that. From queries before check in and throughout our stay all the staff, whatever position they held, were exceptional.Beds were super comfortable. Always lot water. Food was fine. So easy to get down to the spa or into town

Disliked: Staff & service
We have stayed here a few years ago, so booked a return visit with no doubts. However, when checking in there was no record of us paying for breakfast, so had to prove what I booked our room with breakfast included. The spa, was ok, but seems to have lost some of its appeal. ( conversation in sauna between 2 local members discussing manufacturing drugs etc) Bar service was very slow and understaffed, we returned from an event which many other guests had been. ,but only 1 guy on the bar . The breakfast experience was a big disappointment. No fresh coffee, only a machine. The breakfast buffet arrived from kitchen on a trolley, but no food was covered. We paid over £200 for our room and feel very let down, I will not return .

A tired hotel

Rooms available but we were not allowed access till 3 which was difficult because we had travelled a long journey and had to change to meet friends for lunch. Breakfast was not 4 star. Tinned fruit and plastic pots of jam are way below standard. Room was much too hot even with windows open. Choice of beer in bar poor

Very expensive fo a room for 3 adults which had a small extra bed in, not enough towels or hot drink facilities etc. for 3 adults. Took a deposit from my account which I am still waiting to be refunded 5 days on. A dated hotel, not worth £200 (not including breakfast).

Lovely Views and Decent Parking

The hotel is in a perfect location and we managed to get parking close by. Parking was £2.50 for 2 days so considered that a good deal. The hotel is a little tired but comfortable and the pool was lovely. The ice room was amazing but a little disappointed the sauna was closed on the day we went.

I liked the Spa & Gym, the jewel in the crown, ruined by being told that we get towels provided, but not of the same size as those in the rooms (they weren't huge). 1 of 2 lifts were out of order over our 4 night stay.. With a 4 star hotel we expected air conditioning in the rooms, but none. There was air con in the restaurant, so out of the furnace into the very cold dinning room! The room was adequate, not 4 star special. We requested and certainly paid for a sea view room, which was ruined because the outside of the window was filthy ( it could easily have be cleaned safely from inside the room. Poor management. 2nd day breakfast I was appalled that we were sat at a table eating our breakfast but were surrounded by tables that hadn't been cleared. Made worse because on the other side of the room there was a waitress laying up tables where no one else was about. I was getting coffee from the machine when a women guest said to me " I wouldn't do that the coffee is bloody awful from those machines" I tried it she was right, I drank water for the rest of my stay Poor management, no management, 4 star hotel, you must be joking. We had dinner the 1st night, chicken supreme, was lumps of dry chicken pieces dumped on a vegetable risotto (I expected the risotto) but no finesse. We eat elsewhere after that. Very disappointing I paid 4 star price at over £200 per night, worth £50 at best.
