Nice stay
A very "posh" looking building and equally so inside. The room was basic but large as was the bathroom yet in need of a few touch ups. Comfortable and clean.

Great Location for weekend away!
Great central location and reasonably priced hotel. Staff very helpful and friendly. The hotel was obviously very grand in the past, and still looks impressive but is in need of some modernisation. I’d certainly stop here again

A needed break.
All members of staff from reception to service in the dining room were very friendly and good at their job. The meals and service in the dining room were excellent! The hotel has wonderful Victorian features and charactor. Location of this hotel is especially good for access to the cliff funicular giving easy access to the promenade.

4/10 Fair

Hotel is very tired and in poor condition. Mould on bathroom ceiling and food not great albeit is designed for retired residents. The most annoying thing is I booked this hotel as it advertised car parking, it doesn’t, car parking is down the road (if available) at a charge of £8 per day. Hotels should not say they have car parking if they don’t. I have to carry work equipment in my car and don’t want to leave it parked on the side of a public road.

Hotel was nice, although the room was a bit dusty and the mattress was like a brick. Helpful on reception and great location.

If I had been told by hotels.com about the charges and difficulty with parking around The Royal Hotel Scarborough, I would not have booked at that Hotel. As it happens we sorted an alternative parking place but it would not have suited visitors who have difficulty walking. The Hotel and Staff were excellent.

Lovely 3 night stay
Checkin was easy and friendly, pleasantly surprised with the room , seems newly renovated by slightly spoiled by the curtains wh8ch seemed to be old , they were poorly hung abd didnt close properly, lovely quality towels changed every day, quality bedding , plenty of tea and coffee in the room and freely available on request from reception, one issue with room which was quickly resolved and to our satisfaction, food was lovely , no complaints at all , all staff were hard working and very pleasant, grand old building, enjoyed every minute, we will be back

Never again!
Hotel is in dire structural condition. Windows do not open far because frames are rotting so room was uncomfortably airless. Corners need cleaning properly. Electricity supply unsafe. We turned on the coffee machine and all the sockets blew.. Wi-Fi in room cost £7 per device per night - scandalous! Breakfast offered tinned fruit (no fresh), overcooked hot food and sliced bread. Bar closes too early. Nobody wiped the tables during the course of the evening.
