Shirley, United Kingdom

even our dog was made welcome by the staff they always ask if they can stroke her it's her 3rd time here and they even know her name now that's doggy satisfaction. .. as for us the staff are always polite and can't help enough we would always stop here when we visit Scarborough

Michael, United Kingdom

The room was very clean. Room was large. Bed was king size and very comfy. Staff were very friendly. Good location and amazing foyer area.

Michelle, United Kingdom

There is entertainment every night, and breakfast was delicious, would have been nice to try the dinner. The decor is ostentatious and grand, I imagine it was the place to be in its hey day. The view from the terrace is breathtaking.

Great location!

눉Same as above hotel is run down
눇The price was fair As the hotel is a bit run down, it's a big hotel and is old, and in need of refurbishment, would not pay any more than £39 for a standard double room

눉Maintenance must be a huge task, but right outside our window on a flat roof of a floor below, the whole place was covered in debris!

“DO NOT STAY HERE - YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED !!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Premier Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉Its very dirty, i would love to talk to the CEO of Britannia hotels, this hotel has a lot of potential but is not functioning at its best, it could be GRAND once more but is in desperate need of a womans touch, men sitting in a boardroom deciding what's best for customers is not the way forward, bitterly disappointed that it didnt live up to the hype, and i asked for a premier room and was given what used to be the scullery maids room, basic, dirty, this place needs help and i,ll never stay here again !! 4 trays of glasses next to the juice at breakfast, i havent found a clean one yet - GROSS
눇Not much to be honest

“short break to Scarborough”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Family Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉1 hour 20 mins to check in!!! at least 50 people in the queue. never known anything like it.. get to the front and receptionist act as if this is normal and we are the freaks for challenging it!! also it is so dated it is quite sad that once a resplendant building could become this crumbling wreck of a place. the location is perfect though. fortunately for us we were blessed with fabulous weather so our time in the hotel was limited to sleeping. The staff where quite stroppy too.
눇the location was excellent and the rooftop bar overlooking the bay of Scarborough makes you beg for someone to invest money in this place which is now so past its prime its actually sad.

“Nice from exterior, below expectation from interior.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Family Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉To begin with, there were one double bed, one single bed and one cheap folding metal bed for family with 2 children which was below expectations. Also, you will wait long for reception if you have question as there is no phone in the room. Finally, the roof of bathroom was leaking from light bulb as the above room occupiers used their bathroom recklessly! That what I was told. Therefore, I would not recommend it unless it's the cheapest hotel with beach view.

“Worst room I've ever stopped in”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Budget Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Everything about the hotel, was the worst place that I have ever stopped. Stupidly expensive for what we got, which I can only describe it as a cave to sleep in. We payed £185 for 2 nights and I wouldn't of payed £10 for the room we got shoved in. It was filthy as well, dust and cobwebs everywhere and the carpet was discussing. I got out of the shower and by the time I walked back to my bed my feet were black. Shower door was broken which they thought they could fix by hanging a shower curtain up to replace it which u could use because the shower filled with that much steam u couldn't breath and there was no way of ventilating it because there was no window in the room at all. I Wouldn't recommend staying there at all.
눇Location is great but that's the only good thing I can say about it.

“Room was like a Sauna!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The room was too hot as one of the sash windows had been permanently sealed shut, and the other had the opening deliberately restricted by a cable fitted to allow it to open only 10" x 15". The room was stiflingly hot, on a not unduly warm day making sleeping difficult.
눇Breakfast was good.
