Top Scarborough Hotel Reviews

Rivelyn Hotel Bar & Restaurant

4/10 Poor

"It’s definitely a get what you pay for type of stay. I arrived quite late in the evening, wanted to just settle and sleep but when I entered my room, there was no bedding, pillow cases or anything for that matter. To be fair the staff member was extremely apologetic and made up my bed for me, but it’s a simple thing to check when you know you have bookings, toilet roll was sparse and no one seemed to be on the front desk to ask, I had a small circle of soap as no shower gel or shampoo was provided. The beds comfy enough and if you want a bed to stay in, it’s probably the place, but if you’re looking for glam and wowness, probably don’t. The staff do remind you that the lift is small and can only fit one person, which is accurate. It definitely needs a touch of love and just some attention to detail such as checking rooms are ready for when people are staying, which you think would’ve been done as the check in isn’t until 2pm. Overall, I probably wouldn’t stay again, but it was a bed and somewhere to sleep"

Britannia Grand Hotel Scarborough

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay loved the character of the building and it’s history, when we checked in our initial room was ready and we were given an alternative but upon entering we found the room to be smaller than we expected (I have 2 children with autism and ADHD) so I went back down to reception and explain trying to avoid incoming meltdown, the hotel staff couldn’t be more accommodating and provided us with a larger room right next door to the one previously given, crisis averted!! We had a fantastic stay highly recommended and will definitely be back and next time definitely longer "

East Ayton Lodge Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was lovely,the staff were brilliant and chef was so accommodating for my allergies and very keen to ensure correct measures were made. Food and pudding were amazing! Family room was big, one single bed very springy however. Breakfast was ok but not the best selection. Eggs were made to order but wasnt asked about my allergies on this order just that he would ask the chef to make fresh. Staff all very friendly. Walls were a little think so could hear a dog barking all night and next door snoring. But 100% stay here again. Lovely setting. Fab menu. Lovely cosey bar. "

Palm Court Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Room was clean and tidy, however the floorboards were extremely squeaky, unable to walk anywhere in the room without it squeaking, it was obviously the same for the room above! The restaurant service was very slow for the evening, and the meal itself quite a disappointment, the pie crust hard to cut and the 'steak' filling bland, the mash and peas just luke warm. Breakfast was a slight improvement but not the best. Parking was good in the private car park, provided the cars were actually parked inside the marked bays, although the white lines do need repainting. "

The Clarence Gardens Hotel, BW Signature Collection

6/10 Okay

"The room was as expected small but to see the sea view the window was high. Not what I expected from the picture. Bed was a double but the mattress was comfortable in the middle but if you want to sleep nearer the edge you have to be careful not to fall out it is so soft. Food was good in the evening. Did not have breakfast. "
