Top Scarborough Hotel Reviews

Mansion House

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the two bedroom self catering apartment for 3 nights. Found it really comfortable, lovely views from the lounge onto the beach and of the harbour. Lots of nice features in the apartment, comfy furniture and beds, everything was spotless. Was a little anxious about parking before arriving, but got parked outside on the road without issue which was free. Will certainly stay at this place again. It’s also very close to one of the cliff lifts if you have need of it or are simply tired from a long day to get back up from the prom."

Grand Hotel Scarborough

10/10 Excellent

"Used hotel to sleep at night as was out most of the day shopping and trips by train. Beautiful scenery as had beech opposite hotel and a tram to take up and down from the beach."

Crown Spa Hotel Scarborough by Compass Hospitality

"Our room was spacious and nice, some holes in wall and deco could have done with some TLC. Amazing sea view and could see Scarborough harbour, room was clean, nice bathroom, fan in room. Bed was comfortable and breakfast was lovely."
