Reviews of this place seem to be polarised. We're firmly in the top marks camp, but we went with the right expectations. We rented an apartment (2 bedroom, kitchen, living room). The place is clean, tidy and I would have said the room been recently redecorated. As others note, the style of decor is dated (woodchip wallpaper! If you want... More

Although the hotel is not everybodies cup of tea (friend of mine stayed earlier this year but wasn't particulary impressed!) we really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is adequate and is full of character, although a little 'tired' in places, but considereing the price I think it was more than acceptable. It also made it more comfortable and relaxing due... More

Well it's a big old hotel with the feel of an old hospital perhaps. The building is old and full of character with it's public rooms downstairs with hugely high ceilings etc. Like most of Scarborough (and in fact most UK seaside resorts) it is unquestionably dated...but we loved it. First impressions were good - tidy, clean and well organised.... More

Two night stay with wife and two kids (5 & 9). Took a self catering flat in hotel; kitchen, sitting room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Yes, it looks like 1978 decor, but its clean, functional, traditional and more importantly spacious!! Who cares that patterned carpets are "old fashioned" - they were clean and in great condition.The Indoor pool was... More

we booked this last minute as a family trip for 2 nights with 3 children aged 5,9 & 12. The kids thought it was fantastic, enjoyed the games room and the pool. The Hotel is very clean, rooms are large, don't let any comments about needing updating put you off as this all adds to the feel of the place.... More

I suppose a school trip counts as busines. We had a wonderful time in Scarborough and the surrounding district. The hotel was perfect for our purpose and the staff could not have been more friendly. The food was perfectly adequate and the system for children to pick their packed lunches was excellent.The rooms were clean with good en suite facilities.... More

Having read some of the reviews below, you'd think that the hotel were committing some sort of heinous fraud to get unsuspecting customers in the door, then failing to provide them with Savoy levels of comfort, but charging them for it anyway. A group of us stayed there and found it met our expectations and needs perfectly. Yes it's a... More

As a group of 9 friends we stayed in two family rooms. It's probably the best value hotel any of us have stayed in. It is clean and the breakfast was above average. Yes, the decor and furniture is dated and one of our bathrooms didn't have a shower over the bath, but if you want real luxury you will,... More

Just want to start by saying that I'm suspicious of some of the negative reviews here, maybe done by an ex employee or a neighbour who doesn't like the traffic or something silly. We really loved it here. The location was ideal, next to a park and a minute or so from the falsfeave area where there are lots if... More
