Superb, Excellent.
This is a fantastic hotel which me and my wife would thoroughly recommend. Owner Jill could not have been more helpful, with a room upgrade. Cooked Breakfast was hot, and the fruit selection first class. You would find some of the other hotels more expensive and offer you a lot less. This hotel was first class all the way.

The only B&B to stay at in Scarborough as far as we’re concerned. If i could rate it higher i would. The Penthouse is amazing in every respect and worth every penny.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Haleina. Great location with wonderful views over the North Bay. Choice of breakfast was excellent, although a wider choice of pastries would enhance the continental breakfast.

Very happy
A hotter more powerful shower would have been better (maybe user incompetence) but i'll still rate as a 5* as well the cleanliness, for me the plus was the b&b operate a hassle free leave you alone to enjoy your stay attitude, but the staff were quickly there when you needed them to be. Neil.

No Surprises
We did have the smallest room in
The hotel but were aware of this on booking, it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with all you would require for a short weekend stay and excellent value for money at a peak time.

We had a lovely room on the top floor. This is up 6 small flights of stairs so not for those with mobility issues or heavy cases!
The Helainia is convenient for the cricket ground and serves a nice breakfast. Our only quibble was having one small bar of soap for both hand washing and use in the shower during our stay (we were told toiletries were not replenished). It was a bit of a struggle to make it last three days. It would have been nice to have separate bars or soap and shower gel in the room.

An excellent B&B near all the attractions.
The Helaina is a very high standard of bed and breakfast property. We stayed in a Premium Double room on the top floor. The room was very spacious with an excellent bathroom/shower. This room is reached by 6 flights of stairs of varying lengths (it is on the 3rd floor), so not for the infirm or those with heavy luggage.
The breakfast needs to be booked, but is of a very good standard. There is no parking on the premises, but the B&B can supply a 2 day parking pass for £5. You can purchase as many as you need.
The Helaina is very well placed for a short walk to the Castle and down the path to the North beach and the promenade which will take you to the main town and South beach in 15 to 20 minutes walking (or you can go via the church next to the castle).

Great view..our room was too small.
This is a nice place for sure. Well appointed and great views. You can have breakfast added on which was just okay. Our big dislike is the size of the room...very small. We were in #3. The sea view was great. When booking I thought king bed meant a bigger room, given the cost. The bed barely fit in the room. The room was frustratingly small. There are a couple of bigger rooms, but at a higher price point. Staff were great. I would not book there again.

The Perfect Penthouse
Upon arrival we were greeted with a smile by the receptionist who supported us with sorting a parking permit, helped us with our luggage and ensured we were happy.
The room was spotless, spacious and had everything we needed and that was specified on our booking. It also comes with the most beautiful view of the scarborough coastline and the castle at the top of the hill.
Its only a two minute walk to the actual beach which is just down a path in front of the hotel. The beach is beautiful and very tidy (barely any littler).
We didn't get up on time for breakfast, however the menu looked great and from what i could see caters for all (check online).
We will definitely be going again as it was also great value for money.
