Scarborough hotels near South Bay Beach

Pros: Good breakfast with variety

Cons: Shower was not satisfactory water too hot of fact dangerous design poor with flimsy shower curtain no instructions on each tap that we flooded the bathroom causing water on the floor a danger of slipping

Pros: Well equipped gym. Sauna. Spa. Foot spa. Ice cave

Cons: Better information on mislaid items. Left jacket in the bar. When we enquired about this 3 different members of staff told us all items which were found would he handed into lost property and it was not in lost property. We explained we had not left the hotel and knew exactly where we had left it. Was not too bothered about the jacket but needed the car keys that were in the pocket. We were told we had to wait till 2.30pm till change over of staff. We asked could you not ring whoever's was taking over and of, as they had previously told us, all items were handed into lost property at reception then what different answer would the change over of staff given us? The manger went to ring another member of staff. He came back a short time later with my jacket that had been found hanging up in the staff room. Why was it hanging in there I wonder? And not handed into lost property? I was just pleased to have my car and house keys back!

Pros: great

Cons: the weather!!!

Pros: It was v quiet room

Cons: No toilet roll holder - bit of a tired room decor was dated

Pros: No parking

Cons: No parking

Pros: The spa

Cons: Not value for the money, room was just standard, the view was poor even though I requested sea view.

Pros: It was in Scarborough

Cons: Snooty young lady on reception - when I had parked in the loading bay as there was no on street parking close by I enquired where I could park - the reply “ there are 26 other streets to park on in the surrounding area” Which wasn’t an answer I wanted when it was dark, on my own and didn’t know the area. I was then advised there was ‘secure’ parking for an additional £8 - which I took. This was still around the block with a walk along streets to get back to the hotel. Breakfast may be advertised as included but this is only continental, cooked is an additional £5

Cons: Hotel was nice and clean, staff polite and friendly and helpful although the dining staff were a little flustered and rushed, rooms was ok once I upgraded to a bigger room, bed comfy. Meals were OK, waitress got the wine order wrong but was quickly sorted. Breakfast was OK tgd usual selection the only downside was whilst having breakfast the music was playing ACDC which since the a age was about 55yrs a little too much I think..

Pros: Fantastic room and facilities. Very tasty restaurant. Great hotel location and helpfull staff. Overall amazing hotel.

Cons: Only one thing which is price for the full breakfast. In my opinion is too expensive.

Pros: The staff were good. Breakfast was good, the sea view was unimpeded. Great room apart from the poorly sized bed

Cons: For one of the best and most expensive rooms in Scarborough I was bitterly dissatisfied with the length of the bed. I'm only 6ft 2" but had a poor night as my feet were unsupported off the end of the bed.

Pros: Staff were fantastic

Cons: Nice but over priced hotel. Creaky floors. Expensive breakfast

Pros: Good breakfast,We had the full English but the continental would have been sufficient as it was more than the avarage continental. The location is good, quiet part of Scarborough but not far to walk in to the centre or any of the main parts of Scarborough.

Cons: The bedroom did not have airconditioning. Being an older building the windows were sash style. We could not open the window because the cord was broken at one side, so the room was a little hot. ( Did not want to mess with the central heating radiator.)

Pros: Comfort of the room , great breakfast and pleasant staff.

Cons: Quite noisy at night, with floors creaking either above or adjacent our room, and you could clearly here other residents moving around, this could explain the ear plugs that were supplied in the room.

Pros: Excellent breakfast Plenty of choice

Cons: THE RAIN

Pros: The location, Friendly Staff, lovely breakfast.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Clean, comfortable, very good breakfast. Great location, well kept hotel.

Cons: Parking.

Pros: The breakfast was spot on

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The location was perfect and breakfast was delicious. The 2 ladies serving the breakfast were very warm and friendly. Our room was great, really spacious and clean. We loved the comfortable bed and good quality bed linen. Tea making facilities, a trouser press and a hairdryer were provided. We also had a lovely sea view from our room.

Cons: There was a lot of noise from the club/bar (until 3am) located on the adjacent road on Saturday.

Pros: The hotel was fantastic the only problem we had which was no fault of theres we hadnt seen it in the write there stairs down to the breakfast and as we have mobility problems but to be honest we did manage very well Will definitly be going back

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Perfect location.

Pros: The Breakfast was very good

Cons: Everything else

Pros: The breakfast was exceptional, fresh local produce, and it showed. The taste of the food was excellent, hot, served by a very pleasant waitress, quick, efficient and food delicious. . There was everything one would want, fruit juice, fruit, cereals, tea, coffee, toast, preserves, even kippers and finnon haddock. The full English breakfast on its own was worth the nights room rate. What more could I say.EXCELLENT. The star rating of four doesn’t do this place justice I’d certainly give it a five star for food, service, comfort, cleanliness, room facilities. We have stayed at various places in Scarbrough but the Riviera Town House beats them all hands down. We certainly will not be staying anywhere else in the future. The bed was one of the best we’ve slept in, not had such a great nights sleep in years .extremely comfortable. This is an honest and factual account of our stay and are pleased to recommend to anyone.

Cons: Ok no Bar or Restaurant for evening meal, but we knew of this before we booked, but there were enough places around satisfy our needs.

Pros: Great located hotel with lovely & welcoming staff. Very homely b&b with nice furnishings in the public areas. Breakfast choices were superb. I had full English one morning & finnan haddock & poached eggs on another. Amazing! My partner LOVED the gated lift

Cons: Although beautifully clean, Rooms felt cramped. too much furniture - trouser press & hair dryer fixed to walls. Too much furniture really as well. A small chest of drawers would have been fine instead of a vanity table. Perhaps a neutral colour scheme would have made a big difference, such as in the breakfast room? Floor boards throughout the hotel were unforgiving. Creaky & squeaky.

Pros: Bed was comfy

Cons: Room too small

Pros: Pet friendly. Staff friendly and helpful

Cons: Night porter was a nice guy but would suggest he ties his hair back when working in bar kitchen areas

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Comfy bed

Cons: Breakfast was dreadful

Pros: The staff are fantastic the rooms are clean and the breakfast value for money and was lovley will be going back as we always stay there

Cons: Only problem we had was no hot water for bath or shower. Was there for 3 days so only having a little luke warm water for wash wasnt very good

Cons: Very friendly staff ,lovely breakfast if you order in a morning , rooms are basic but clean and have all you need ,would recommend to anyone .

Pros: Room was clean, comfortable and had the right amenities

Cons: TV part failure, also the thudding ‘music ‘ periodically at the venue opposite !

Pros: The bar was fairly priced and had a really good atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful

Cons: Our room was quite dirty and shabby. It was cheap accommodation and we did have a room suitable for pets but generally the decor needs and up grade! The carpets and bedding really need re-placing

Pros: It’s a lovely place to stay

Pros: Not a lot.

Cons: Lost a link out of my watch,looked all around, under the bed,ugh! I don't think it has been vacuumed since the carpet was laid.

Pros: Comfy bed , clean room

Cons: Need tea making facilities in room , every one needs a cuppa when they wake

Pros: Good location with free parking on the street

Cons: Asked for room with sea view but could only see it if you leaned out the window! Bed was rock hard, TV was very intermittent, shower did not work properly and towel rail was red hot but radiator was never on, no bar just vending machines, no other meals available other than breakfast and that wasn't the best, no jacuzzi just some bubbles in the pool which you had to get out of to switch on, pool was dirty and sometimes cold without any proper changing facilities and lockers that didn't lock, the showers could have been better. No where to really sit and lounge there were a few seats but got full quickly and coffee was expensive from vending machines again

Pros: The hotel was clean and provided a good breakfast. The location is great, out of the centre but within walking distance. The lady through the day was extremely helpful.

Cons: The check-in experience could have been a little better.

Pros: Nice little hotel with friendly staff. Breakfast was good. Location is great with views over the sea from my room. Would recommend.

Cons: Slight issue with the bed on arrival, but the staff dealt with it reasonably well.

Pros: Breakfast was lovely although the young girl clearing up clearly didn't want to be there.

Cons: Disappointed there was no bar - only a vending machine!

Cons: Tea and coffee facilities were poor as box they were in seemed unclean.

Pros: The staff breakfast pool car parking clean bedding

Cons: Television did not work bathroom toilet seat loose toilet bowl needed deap clean

Pros: The staff were very friendly and helpful We went to the pool which was very good

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very large room with wonderful sea view. Room was warm and inviting. Breakfast was a bonus, hit and cooked to order. Staff all polite and efficient.

Cons: Just a small detail, the toilet system was very noisy.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: If you are looking at this hotel and thinking it looks nice please do not make the same mistake we did The photos are very well taken of pool and spa area, the pool is tiny not even enough space for two to swim alongside in middle. Jacuzzi is some bubbles coming into bottom end of pool and sauna door doesn't seal so doesn't get hot. Pictures of room look nothing like room in real life Seaview bar is actually reception area with vending machine No working lifts and in general disrepair Customer service is absolutely shocking asked to speak with managers apparently there arent any and was told to put complaint in writing which would be sent to directors, despite numerous emails, they have not had the decency to respond Dont waste your money and spoil your break by staying here book elsewhere

Cons: The fact the pool & spa wasn't open & that's what me & my girlfriend had actually gone for was disappointed

Pros: Not much!

Cons: The fire alarm went off at mid night, which was a false alarm. The entertainment went on until midnight, which was really loud, and we could feel the vibrations through the bed, and hear it. The beds were uncomfortable. The hotel used to be lovely years ago, and it's gone down hill, since brittanian hotels took it over. In the restaurant there were no drip trays in the milk and juice dispensers, and the tea bags are horrible. We're not going there again. The floor in our room was sloping too!

Pros: Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful and our room was lovely

Cons: Some of the hotel could do with updating it looks tired in areas

Pros: Location

Cons: The sink was blocked and there wasn’t a plug View over a back street which had rubbish all over. Tea and coffee facilities were inadequate , one tea and coffee per person Staff on reception were abrasive on arrival. Maid walked in at 9am while we were still in bed, without knocking. When reporting the blocked sink was told we would have to wait till the next day to get it sorted or move rooms, dealt with incentively....☹️ Was disappointed as I have stayed a few times before and had a lovely stay.

Pros: Bed was ok to sleep on, but i was drunk everynight. Sooo cant complain

Cons: No staff., dar staff knocked my drink and didnt replace it

Pros: Location

Cons: Bar staff very rude, especially short guy with pony tail. Ordered bottle of wine at bar & told no wine glasses available & was served wine in cocktail glasses. Table in bedroom wonky and every time I touched it things fell off. Everything felt old & needs major improvement

Pros: The pool was very nice lovely and warm my family enjoyed it every much. Although on the first Saturday my Son and his wife and son wasn't told when they asked about the pool that it was not available to guests that day. So when they went down they where confronted by a man who in no circumstances said they couldn't use the pool.

Cons: Barman in the lounge was under pressure and was a bit surly. All the other staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is starting to feel its age in some respects ie the sink in our room the plug didn't work. I think it is in need of investment to update the hotel to its former glory. As it was in its heyday. It has a stunning entrance which was good too see.

Pros: Previous visit excellent. This time room poor standard but clean

Pros: Nice and clean warm and cozy bed

Cons: Breakfast was Could coffee machine broke for 2days

Pros: I have been staying at the Royal since I was 21, I am now 66. It was a 'posh' hotel in those days. Now it's jaded but holds many happy memories and I still go back. Sometimes I get lucky and the room is top notch, this time it was a cold room - the radiator needed bleeding. The bed springs were uncomfortable so 2 nights would have been better than 3. But having said that, how could I complain - where do you get a room only for 3 nights £153.00. At that price you just grin and bare it. The cleaner did a stirling job, room always looked clean and tidy.

Cons: The uncomfortable bed. Nope - you can't moan at the price we paid.
