Top Scarborough Hotel Reviews

The Clarence Gardens Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Room was quite small but very clean and comfortable"

Grand Villa Heights

8/10 Good

"You can tell that the hotel is under renovation and i'm sure when it's finished it will be amazing. At the moment elements are amazing but a few things missing. We stayed for a wedding - which was amazing! The food was brilliant too (for mass catering) and the staff were fabulous. The room was a bit of a let down. It was noisy, the furniture looked like flat pack, and the space needed a bit of a lick of paint. There was no full length mirror not ideal for wedding prep! The bath was great however, and loads of hot water. The whole place was incredibly clean and the location was just breathtaking. Breakfast was a bit chaotic on one morning (I think two weddings coming together) but the staff made sure there was regular top ups. Not sure at this point it's great value for money but when it's finished it will be fabulous."

Grand Hotel Scarborough

8/10 Good

"Good hotel if you like fade charm. The Group were on 2nd 3rd floor these were ok esp 2nd floor. Rooms below entrance (downstairs) were not so good per part of group that were here last year. On each floor spectacular lounge areas to meet up. Outside over looking sea also very good. Some one in group had been to Waldorf Astoria NY some years ago as part of cruise deal. They rated this hotel better for room 2nd F & open area spaces If this was in London & had some more improvements it would cost serious money."

Palm Court Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The good points. Room and bathroom very clean. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice. Undercover parking include in room price a bonus plus EV charging if needed. Not so good points. Don’t book a cosy room with 6’ double. It is too cosy, we are not big people, but I would not want to spend more than a couple of nights in there. The lady on reception is bit snappy when my wife said we don’t want to be on the top floor. We are full she was told, but after some huffing and puffing a room was found on the second floor. On the first night we dinned in restaurant not very good! On the second night we dinned in the lounge much less formal and the food was better. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel based on our experience."

The Clifton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a lovely hotel full of character. Yes it looks a little scruffy on the outside but the inside is good. Every member of staff was pleasant & helpful especially on the front desk for checking in & out. We arrived early & asked about a parking permit & the lovely lady not only sorted us a parking space but also let us have our room key even thought we were a few hours early 😊 Our room was clean & had everything we needed, the walls are thin as we could hear the people next door but we were only there for 1 night so it didn't bother us,the bed was comfortable. The bar area is nice & the buffet breakfast was good. We were there for a concert at the open air theater & the location of the hotel was spot on for this, just a few minutes walk away. We enjoyed our stay at the Clifton & would definitely do it again 😊"

East Ayton Lodge Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Room was very small and dated creaky floorboards and could hear everything from room next door. Very noisy from people leaving pub and revving motorbike outside room noise went on until the early hours if it wasn’t too late we would have left. Me and my partner never slept at all wouldn’t stay again"

The New Southlands Hotel

4/10 Poor

"On arrival we found out this hotel is mainly used for coach holidays.Bit of a Butlins break about the place. Room was very small and looked down into a yard full of beer barrels.At 7am every morning,a large steel extractor coming from kitchen burst into life and was so loud we had to shut the windows. In the bathroom the sink was damaged from something heavy being dropped onto it The shower was so small you couldn't bend down In the restaurant at breakfast,I asked where the croissant etc were.Head waiter looked bemused and the same when asked about fruit Would not recommend this hotel sorry"
