Fabulous location and once you get past the dated decor, this hotel has a lot going for it. Yes it’s not perfect but it has a certain charm and I’ll always book to stay here. Gorgeous beach views in certain rooms and the staff we came across were very friendly. You get what you pay for but we love it. Can’t be beaten on ease of access to the beach and sea front.

Was a little apprehensive when reading reviews but it was ok for an old building needs some TLC a Little out dated staff friendly. Room was ok booked an executive family room but not that executive would have been nice if breakfast was included with the price.The building is lovely inside good views over Scarborough. Beds were clean, only thing missing in room was a phone to contact reception it will keep you fit walking up and down the stairs if you don’t like lifts .

Little thing like bed side table lampshade was broken curtains wouldn’t close properly shower head would not stay put but saying that the staff were very friendly
Grand location, right on the cliffs overlooking the beach and beachfront attractions. The Grand Hotel is Victorian era grandeur with charm but has seen better days. We found a bargain with some trade offs that were worth it for us.
Room/ bathroom beyond my expectations and staff efficient , friendly and welcoming. Good breakfast and altogether a great stay in this iconic hotel.

Such an amazing place totally beautiful and the staff are amazing :) can’t wait to go back x
Great stay as a solo traveller. The room was lovely and just the right size, well-equipped and with a beautiful sea view. The food was good with plenty of choice and the evening entertainment was a highlight. I checked in online beforehand but still had to queue for quite a while on arrival, which could have been better organised. Overall though, a brilliant first stay and I’d return.

Stopped at the grand hotel few times in the past. Was great as always room clean and tidy
Great location,clean rooms the staff even upgraded our room to a sea facing room which was very beautiful.The hotel interiors are very royal and aesthetic.Will visit again ❤️
Enjoyed our stay, was very dog friendly. Parking is really the only problem we had as it was full outside hotel, the discount code didn't work for the ncp parking also. So was expensive to park there
