It is the ideal venue for a 'traditional' seaside holiday stay, particularly for the 'older' guest (like us). Although it is not the most up to date, that is part of the attraction, and the service is impeccable.

Sci-fi Scarborough

I stayed at the Palm hotel for a business weekend. The hotel was very clean. Good choice of options for evening meals. Breakfast options were excellent. The staff were attentive but not intrusive. Really good location only five minutes drive from the railway station and minutes to the venue I was attending.

The bedroom we had was a little tired but plenty of towels tea/coffee etc. The beds are really comfortable but the pillows were flat and almost useless. The communal area's are clean and very comfortable. Great breakfast with great choice and quality produce. We ate in the restaurant and the food was of great quality with great presentation. Well stocked bar with reasonable prices no higher than the local bars. We had a pleasent first time stay and hopefully will be back. Thank you to all the staff

A lovely hotel with average food.

This hotel looks good and feels good when you stay here. It’s so close to the shopping centre and with free parking, this was a bonus. Staff are so nice and friendly and go that extra mile for you. Stayed for two nights over the weekend. The food, however was delightfully average. We had a meal in the lounge on arrival. Fish and chips and fish cakes. The batter on both oozed fat and was quite unpleasant. Breakfast was also average. Cooked breakfast- sausage was anaemic, mushrooms slightly leathery and bacon fat not sufficiently rendered. Poached eggs were a delight as was the toast. All in all a very pleasant stay in an hotel with a lovely atmosphere. Food the only let down. Would still return though.

The one thing what let them down was the 10 percent vouchers they give out in check in for the Resturant & Longe food. The duty manager when checking out and I was paying said you cannot have the 10 percent off food because it’s up to us to hand in to staff when ordering! Like I quoted the staff never got you to sign for food or give you the chance to accept these vouchers. No good blaming the customers and saying it’s too late to take off when I’m paying my bill! They need to train the staff to do there job better and maybe the 10 percent would get taking from their food bill. Did not like the duty managers attitude and cleverness with me when it’s not my fault! I did not budge and told her this, train your staff better to take orders & take the vouchers off!

We chose this hotel as it offered free overnight parking. However, hubby needed a buggy to get about which are banned at the hotel. The lift isn’t what I’d call completely H&S safe. No door to the front and as it moves floors quite unsafe. The rooms unbearably hot. Even with windows open and a fan on all night. The beds uncomfortable and I felt like I was falling out due to one side collapsing on the mattress. The rooms are very small. The two of us couldn’t sit at the little table as not enough room and had to walk around the bed side ways. The shower didn’t work properly. Breakfast ok. The plastic around the black pudding was left on when cooked. Scrambled egg was watery and grape stems found in the fresh fruit. Certainly not worth the price. All the meals were over priced. Then there’s the so called over sensitive fire alarm that goes off at the drop of a hat. No one came to tell us all was well. So could have burnt to death. They wouldn’t care. When we complained, the general manager tried to make out we were being over sensitive. The staff do the best they can. But not really bothered as they roll there eyes thinking, here we go this is another one moaning. Save your money and go to a b&b.

Liked: Staff & service
The positive was the Staff, excellent characters , pleasant and friendly. The hotel room in my opinion was not worth £200 a night by any stretch of the imagination. The loose floor board, to the old stained carpet, to the old net curtains to the cobwebs , the light bulb out in the bathroom, inconsistent hot water to the bath. We will not and would not stay in a hotel in Scarborough in the future. Scarborough as a town is in serious need of a regeneration fund. The large town centre shopping centre is dead “empty”! The other aspects of Scarborough the gardens, fenicular rail, the beaches and the stunning views are excellent!
