The staff were superb,polite friendly and available at all times,we loved the old historic building,the hotel and room was clean and very nice, tired but for a hotel of that age it is to be expected, we had clean beds and clean towels every day and heating if we needed it, I would stay there again as I was very happy with the whole stay, breakfast well what can I say there was every thing you wanted each day we came away very happy, please dont put bad reviews on here if the seagulls wake you up its a seaside town, not the hotels fault,also parking not the hotels fault scarborough councils problem What I write here is what you get, the grand is what it is, it is a historic building,it is far too large to be anything else,yes it is tired but hey ho, you either love your stay there or hate it, you will always get people who want 5 star but are not willing to pay it, we loved it,end of and yet again many thanks to the hotel staff at the grand,

The hotel is in a prime location for the town shopping areas and the view was "To die for". The rooms were clean and hot water was plentyfull. Unfortunately our room was subterrainian and we were not informed of this. The grand Hotel failed to inform us the the room was a 3 levels below ground and as my wife sufferes from a fear of enclosed spaces had we known this we would not have stayed at the hotel. This really ruined her stay. The food served was very poor and in the end we had to arrange for meals elsewhere. The "restauraunt" was about the same level of comfort as a truck stop cafe without even table cloths over the melemine tables and we had to queue and wait for some foods to be replenished at the service point. All in all we will never return and were very disappointed with our stay there.

'Ideal location. It is a pity they do not improve on the lifts (elevators), and even display signs stating what exactly are the facilities and what are available for free and what you have to pay for. The service at the lounge definitely needs some looking into, but by and large the time passed well enough. It's a holiday, so take most things with a pinch of salt, and unless something reallys erious crops up, laugh it off.

Not much, needs major overhaul. This hotel has to much lost potential. Also listening to drunks all night outside the local pub is ridiculous. Also it's a fire trap! I will say the staff was friendly.

Comfortable. Clean and good location. At the price we paid you could not complain. The car parking needs sorting out. We did not need to use ours as we are used to walking. Anyone needing to use their car on a daily basis would have a problem.

we heard a lot of people complaining about their rooms. However, for a premier room half board at £90 we thought our accommodation was excellent - it was quiet, clean and had a great sea view. It is central for everything and the staff tried very hard to stay positive in the face of constant whinging from other guests The hotel is badly in need of some TLC. The dining room was a bun fight but we only had breakfast so it was fine for us. The bar is very expensive

The hotel is beautiful, a lovely reception area and grand staircase. There are several lovely relaxing lounges, and even quiet rooms for privacy . Entertainment every evening. Our bedroom was on the 6th floor which wasn't a problem, but was disappointingly small.

Good value, nice welcoming atmosphere, attentive, friendly staff. very clean and comfortable rooms. good entertainment. the hotel was extremely cold, not just the bedrooms but also the public areas. 3 of our party are over 75 and this really made them uncomfortable during their stay.

We had a lovely larger than average twin room with sea views. The breakfasts were lovely, well organised and friendly staff. The hotel itself is in the best of locations for the town and access to lifts for the beach or you can take a short walk. Plenty lifts around the hotel and entertainment every night. Great for holidays in scarborough. Some great resturants in the beach area if you do not wish to eat in-house. One evening we stayed in for an evening meal and the meal was cool by the time we took it to our table. Plates could have been warmer. Though I understand it could be for health and safety.

We have always wanted to stay at the hotel, mainly for the history of the hotel and was impressed by how well it was looked after and the breakfast you cannot fault when you can eat what you want. The only downfall was our room was really cold even though the window was closed the draught coming through made the room cold the radiator had a wardrobe covering half of it so the heat was not fully heating the room and with the quilt only been thin I am so glad my partner took his fleece as I slept in it all nite over my night clothes. But apart from that loved the hotel
