    Beautiful hotel and location only problem is seagulls have taken up residency all over building a…read morespecially the back rooms but there you go still a lovely building to stay in

    Gorgeous, historic exterior - dismal, cold, decrepit interior. Do not stay here if you are…read moreexpecting the outside to match the inside. You may be able to book a fantastic view, but the room will be a massive disappointment. I could not get into my room early, so when I finally gained entry at nearly midnight, I found that the window had been left open all day and the room was freezing cold. There is no control of heat by room - and as of October 1, the building's boilers still had not been turned on! I hunted for a spare blanket - but the wardrobe did not have one. I tried to call down to ask for one, but the room did not have a phone! The second day, my bed was made, but the bathroom was not cleaned. In fact, the previous renters soap was still in the tub. The tub wall is several feet high - so elderly folks beware. My liquid shampoo body wash dispenser was empty and never re-filled, despite requesting it in person with the chambermaid. A bug was crawling on my shaving kit. Hard, uncomfortable bed Chipping paint on the sills Marked walls No doorknob at the main entry (where do you hang the do not disturb sign?) Squeaky floorboards Slow Lifts Drab public rooms Visit here for a photo op only - stay elsewhere!

    We visited Scarborough as part of a coach tour. I know these tours do not get the best rooms but…read moremost were not what we expected. I was in a double standard and was very glad I was on my own. They had managed to squeeze in 2 armchairs which meant I had to either climb over the bed or carefully negotiate between the end of the bed and 1 of the armchairs to close the curtains. A bathroom on the first floor was beautiful and four of us could have comfortably slept in it!! Pity the beauty did not extend to the bedrooms. Having said that, I only used the room to sleep, shower, dress and change in so it was adequate. The food was buffet style. Choice of all the usual for breakfast including liver (?), croissants and pastries. Best fried bread I have tasted. Tea unfortunately was served in flasks and undrinkable. I ended up buying teabags and making my own. Dinner offered soup or cold plate for starters, a choice of 4 mains, including a roast meat, 2 types of potato and 2 vegetables. The roast potatoes had seen better days The choice of sweets was fine but were the same every day as was the cheese selection. The general opinion of the group was that the restaurant was run for the staff not the guests and the Manager was rude and unhelpful. We had a number of issues and I have written a letter of complaint and await an answer. The entertainment was somewhat old fashioned but we enjoyed it and danced the night away. The people on Reception were lovely and very helpful unlike the bar staff and some of the waiting staff. I would say they definitely have staff problems.

    I wouldn't even give this "hotel" 1 star. The staff were rude, you have to put the key fob in a…read morelight to be able to turn it on, we weren't informed about it and when asking a passing by staff member I asked how to turn the lights on and what number to call reception and we had tried the numbers that are usually used as reception numbers and didn't work he rudely responded "zeroooo" in a moody and cocky voice and then we asked about the light, rude again. Later we were just outside the hotel getting some air (hotel has shitty ventilation) and that same staff member passed by looking at us and then passed again looking at us went to reception and went to the window to stare at us and when he saw that we noticed him he just left. Then pointing at us to his other team member. The room was slanted the toilet lights had dead bugs in them. Not gonna stay here again, ohh and at dinner/breakfast don't expect good food, expect cold food and shitty service. Never gonna recommend to anybody!
