The room was freezing cold and we asked three times for a heater and we were told on each occasion that one would be sent to the room but one never appeared.The bar staff were always doing something else when you wanted service.Will never stay there again.

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.

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.

Liked: Room comfort
very very average. Was a nice building but quite dated. No heating in rooms. Was offered a portable heater but it never arrived (to be fair, I never chased it up.) Not a bad hotel but not great for the price.

My wife and I had a great three night stay at The Royal. It was great value for money, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. Our bed was huge and comfortable but the room and furnishings were somewhat dated but this did not detract from our stay. The position of the hotel overlooking the beach and close to town is great. Will look forward to staying there again. Many thanks

Nice comfortable stay
The staff were very helpful and I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room. It was very comfortable. The cleaning could use a bit more attention- there was mildew in the shower and tissues behind the nightstand for example. It was slightly annoying that the wifi in the room needed to be paid for- at £7 per device it wasn’t really worth it for two nights, but there was free wifi in public areas. Overall it was fairly nice, it just needed a bit of updating and attention.
