This hotel is a little tired and date, the rooms could do with being refurbished and having new furniture but I do love the location, views and ease of parking.

Love the location of the hotel and the view. Was disappointed to find no hairdryer in the room and furniture definitely needs updating, but despite that, very clean and comfortable.

The staff were friendly and helpful but the bathroom was in a very bad condition. The towels and bedding was all clean but the hotel has definitely seen better days.

Check-in was fine. We were booked on a B&B basis via Expedia . This was confirmed on check-in but was later challenged by the second receptionist . Expedia had not confirmed the breakfast option. All was ok in the end. The hotel was well located and such an easy walk to the seafront or into the main town. A basic room with all that we needed for our two night stay. I would stay again for the location.

All good. Very happy with my stay. Cgeck in quick and easy. Late checkout discussed and happy with the 12 oclock offer. Comfortable hotel. Bathroom could do with an update but it was fine for a quick one night stop over. Brilliant sea view. Friendly staff.

Me and my daughter stayed for 1 night, it’s overall a really nice hotel to stay at if your in Scarborough. The only thing we didn’t like was the walk from Scarborough seafront to the hotel, its a little to much for a 3yr olds little legs and didn’t realise you could walk over the bridge to get esplanade’s so unfortunately took the long way around. But other than that the overall stay was great staff was really friendly and you get what you pay for.

Room was small but adequate, but the amazing views from both windows certainly made up for it. Room was not dirty but lots of old cobwebs hanging from ceiling and fluffy dust on lights. Beds were a bit uncomfortable due to thin mattresses (maybe time to replace with better quality). Bathroom was clean but a little cramped. But ........ Despite the somewhat negative comments, we will definitely return to this hotel as we really enjoyed our stay. The stay was made all the better for the attentiveness of the staff who were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend.

Disgusting substandard room, ceiling water damaged and coming down, bath panel hanging off, wardrobe falling apart, table leg held together with masking tape, room smelling, nothing like photos, refused room, assistant manager victoria after contacting manager jo promised us a refund if we were not satisfied with room if we did not stay, which we did, 3 days later money has been taken from account, it shows you what sort of people are in charge of this run down building

Employés vraiment souriants et accueillants. Hôtel désuet, en rénovations mais vraiment en décrépitude. Chambre supérieure non conforme aux photos. Impossible de voir la vue sur la mer comme annoncé car la fenêtre est en décrépitude et la vitre opaque. Télévision non fonctionnel. Plafonds ouverts. Ne vaut pas le prix du tout. Literies neuve et propre. Hôtel avec potentiel mais non actuel et vraiment tombé en ruines.

The hotel seems very dated, quite shabby in parts. Really good location and would be fabulous if the hotel was up to standard. Beds very comfortable but the wooden window frames were rickety and shabby. Old bathroom too with very dated decor. The bedroom furniture had seen better days too. The reception staff were very friendly though which made our introduction to the hotel very nice. With an update this hotel could be one of the best in Scarborough. Fabulous views!

Property in a great location, just our room needs a lot of TLC. Mattress’s in twin room we’re of very poor quality lumps and squeaky on both beds,Bathroom shabby bath panel cracked and spli.bath itself badly stained. Window had no paint on sill ( and hadn’t seen any for a long period. . Shame really as it could be made into a superb room.

We have stayed here before but we were in the sea facing room, it was lovely. The room we stayed in this time was on street but still had everything you needed.

The room was appalling for a price of £105 per night it was not worth even half that. The bath was filthy with lime stains from the continual dripping tap . The toilet would not flush had to keep using the kettle to fill up the cistern .
