Top Scarborough City Centre Hotel Reviews

Royal Whitby

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, as expected."

The Norbreck Hotel by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"Really good accommodation if you’re looking for a couple of nights in Scarborough. Some parking at the hotel for £6 per night but on street parking in the immediate vicinity for £5 for 48 hours (pay at hotel - absolute bargain). Very good breakfast in a nice restaurant directly overlooking North Bay. If you book a sea view room, that really is what you’ll get. Very happy to recommend. For the price out of season, it’s excellent"

The Plough Scalby

10/10 Excellent

"Yes, these rooms are above a pub but you can’t hear any noise. The appointments were like that of a luxury hotel. The staff worked behind the bar at the pub for the most part and they were extremely responsive to any request. Not sure many tourists find their way to this particular town, but if you’re anywhere near Scarborough, this is the place to stay."
