Not luxury, but ok for the price. The building is very old, but interesting. We struggled to open the window for fresh air.Helpful staff. Mucky windows from outside, but with nice views. Cobweb on the ceiling. Impressive fitness and leisure facilities with additional fee of 6£.

Liked: Staff & service

A beautiful hotel but in need of care.

The Royal is a beautiful ornate building situated in an excellent position for the town and beach but in need of tlc. A massive task for anyone to maintain. The bedrooms need an update and cleaning thoroughly although bedding clean and towels soft. The reception staff were so friendly and helpful a plus for the hotel. We all have to make a profit but £3.60 for a small bottle of coke in the bar seemed extortionate having paid £2.60 at The Britannia hotel Aberdeen. This drives away extra custom for the hotel.

78th Birthday Celebration

Not Happy! We paid extra for a 'Sea View' room, but could only see the sea through a side window of the bay window. The other widows overlooked car parking and buildings opposite including The Grand Hotel. It was my Husbands 78th Birthday and we were hoping to be able to relax in the room if the weather was poor enjoying the Sea view. Fortunately the weather was sunny although cold so we were able to get out and see Scarborough. The room looked tidy when we arrived, but we noted that it needed dusting and surface cleaning generally. We have not been able to get away since the Covid lock down and we were hoping to have a couple of days away on the coast. We may aswell of booked a Standard Room for the benefits we got.
exclusive Sea View?
another glorious Sea View?
