"I had a lovely and clean, cosy room with a sea view. Staff were always friendly, the bar downstairs was nice to get a drink from and sit in the lounge. It's in the perfect location in Scarborough with everything you want within a short walking distance! I hope to stay again soon. Parking in Scarborough can be a little tricky unless you're prepaired to pay and use the long-stay car parks +which are expensive) but that's not the fault of the hotel!"

"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."

Albemarle Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Jonathan went out of his way to meet/greet/help. Central location in what is still a very pleasant square with echoes of its genteel origins. The property looks like a knocked through terrace. The rooms have been freshened and made over to give a kooky feel, so every room is different. All the sanitary ware and core fittings are ancient but spotless. Basically, a good makeover of a tired interior, offering comfort and very reasonable value. We were a group of 5 pals with very different tastes but were pretty aligned on this! A good little find"
