Grand Hotel Scarborough

Grand Hotel Scarborough

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great time, the staff were amazing to us! The building is a lovely throwback to an era long gone. This also means it’s a bit tired and needs some attention in the corridors and also electrical rewiring in the rooms. But a great historical building staffed by lovely people."

"Lovely place, immaculately clean and well presented. A really pleasant surprise as I didn’t know the area and wasn’t sure what a hotel/pub would be like but it was a really nice stay, with a genuinely friendly team. Breakfast (which was included within what I thought was a really reasonable price anyway) was cracking! Highly recommended."
