Top Scarborough Hotel Reviews

Crown Spa Hotel Scarborough by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"We had a few problems with the room which we reported so many times and nothing was done about it. However we loved Scarborough and the spa facilities. We would go back."

Grand Hotel Scarborough

10/10 Excellent

"Really loved the hotel. Bedroom is nice and simple. There are a few cracks about and licks of paint needed but otherwise the hotel stands nicely and is a comfortable place to stay. I will say the rooms on the upper floors are warm from the rising heat but the hotel provided a fan which was great. All in all a comfortable stay!"

The Clifton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the small double as we knew we’d be early evening arrival. Reception staff were very cheerful, helpful and explained breakfast time. If you’d rather have your car in their car park definitely phone and do that as on street parking is good if you can get space. Breakfast is buffet style and is very good with continental and full English available. We will stay here again."

Albemarle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Jonathan went out of his way to meet/greet/help. Central location in what is still a very pleasant square with echoes of its genteel origins. The property looks like a knocked through terrace. The rooms have been freshened and made over to give a kooky feel, so every room is different. All the sanitary ware and core fittings are ancient but spotless. Basically, a good makeover of a tired interior, offering comfort and very reasonable value. We were a group of 5 pals with very different tastes but were pretty aligned on this! A good little find"

Mayfield Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a good size and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and efficient and I had a good evening meal. I didn’t have breakfast as I had an early start so cannot comment."

Grand Villa Heights

8/10 Good

"A staff member advised that the hotel is focused on catering to venues. A wedding was being held when we were staying. We were advised by the hotel in advance but after booking through Expedia. The best parts of the hotel are reserved for the event leaving hotel guests not part of the event to be catered for in poorer situated parts. On the plus side, the hotel is situated in a stunning location but being on the coast the wind howled outside the room. The overwhelming impression is that guests not part of a function are a necessary afterthought."

Mansion House

10/10 Excellent

"Very well appointed; wonderfully kind, helpful staff, second to none. Excellent breakfasts. Several flights of stairs to any rooms, no lift. Street parking only, not ‘on-site’ as listed. We were in quieter season, so street spaces could be found. In itself, a superb hotel."
