Rooms were fine. Shower wasn't working. With a little refurbishing, this place could really be special. Especially the ground floor restaurant with an amazing view of the sea.

We stayed at the Norbreck Hotel for 7 nights and we had avery enjoyable stay. We had a wonderful view of the sea from our hotel window. The staff were extremely friendly and nothing that you asked of them was too much. Scott and Andrew the receptionists were both helpful and friendly. Not forgetting Pete. We would definitely stay at the Norbreck again. Thank you all for making our stay a pleasent one.

Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Lounge area was lovely and if it had soft music playing would have been even better. This hotel is not for people who have difficulty with slopes or steps as it’s on the top of a hill and a fair walk from anything. The hotel rooms (we had a sea view room) are tired and need painting and mould and mildew spraying in the bathroom. The bed was comfy and the bedding and towels clean and soft. The clientele are from the Starwars bar and therefore were very noisy at 2am when they came in. We won’t be staying here again it was not for us, we prefer the South Bay and I recommend anyone booking Scarborough stays in the South Bay especially on The Espanade above The Spa. We’ve been coming to Scarborough for 35 years so know it well.

Nice hotel

Enjoyed the stay at the hotel. Rooms were good although maybe a little tired, but comfortable. Good cooked breakfast to send us on our way. For the price, well worth the visit. I've stayed at much worse that cost a lot more!

We stayed for one night to attend a concert nearby. I'd booked a while ago and was a little dubious reading some of the recent reviews. The hotel has a great location and is as you'd expect a Victorian seaside hotel to be, a little dated but that's part of the charm. The hotel boasts commanding views over the bay and close to the castle. We had 2 rooms booked, both were spacious, clean and seemed to have new furniture. The staff were lovely. There's minimal parking, but we managed to park nearby. Overall the hotel was ideal.

Nice location, very good views but not worth the money they are charging. The hotel needs some serious remodelling inside and out. Can't comment on the food as we didn't eat there. Car park is awful and only really enough space for 5 cars as we were blocked in by 3 extra cars when we were trying to leave, not great if you're in a rush at all. Wouldn't stay here again. Staff were great however can't complain about them.

The hotel is dated, room was comfortable but nothing special, continental breakfast very basic not much selection, location great. £61 1 night for 2. 12/01/25 can’t grumble at that price, so if its a budget hotel you’re after then you can’t go wrong

Room was disgusting. There was dirt everywhere... behind the side table, in the sink in the bathroom. There was public hairs on top of the bed. Get rid of the cleaning staff and get proper caring staff. For almost 100 pounds a night the room should have been better
