Well located in the centre of Scarborough and close to all shopping and amenities. A few minutes walk and you’re down on the seafront, funicular available for those who don’t dance the walk back up. Parking is always a pain in Scarborough but there’s an NCP car park across the road (£12 for 24 hours as at June 2025). Breakfast was well cooked and filling.

Great place to stay for exploring Scarborough our only problem was that the room had no opening windows and we were just too hot . There was a fan provided but with no fresh ventilation it was a bit pointless

Location was great, close to beach and amenities. Bar staff were friendly. Breakfast staff were very inattentive, food was inedible - all meat items burnt and egg uncooked, hash brown was charred black - I would have been embarrassed to serve it.

Property is in a good area close to the town centre and the beach across from the tram down to the seafront.Room was clean and tidy with a comfortable double bed although you could hear passing traffic and the seagulls if your a light sleeper. Breakfast the next day was freshly cooked with a choice of cereal, fruit juice and fresh coffee.All in all a good place to stay at a reasonable price

An excellent stay. The staff were friendly throughout and the hotel was great value for money, with a very good breakfast. The location is excellent with easy access to Scarborough town centre and the South Bay
