Everything is beautiful for the price only let down was the breakfast the day of our stay there was lots of kids who was rude and unruly we had breakfast before here when we stayed and it was beautiful and relaxing but due to the amount of kids filling plates piled high items was empty and there was a lot of queuing and waiting around

Couldn't Pay Me To Stay Again

Disgusting. Filthy dirty, room has not been cleaned for months.
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a lovely nights stay in a family room at the royal hotel. The lady at check in was so friendly and let us go to our room quite a few hours early for no extra cost. The room was enormous for 3 of us, there was a huge king size bed, a sitting room space with sofas and deprecate bedroom for my daughter. It was all very clean. The lobby / restaurant areas were so grand and very interesting to look at, especially for kids. The location was perfect, close to station, shops and beach. For the price we paid this was an excellent hotel.

Fab dog friendly hotel

Brilliant location - 5 mins from South Bay beach. Room was basic as dog friendly but was clean, comfortable and had storage. Dogs allowed in bar area. Multi-storey car 5 mins away. Indoor pool at £6 a session. Will definitely come back.

Up for cricket & cheaper hotel for couple of nights within walking distance. Hotel was fine & convenient but a bit tired & worn around the edges‼️ A place for Secure Luggage Storage is a MUST‼️

Break of journey

I prefer the Royal hotel by Britannia over their sister hotel because they are lgbt, non binary and disabled friendly. I decided to break my journey back from Hull pride as have stayed many times before. Excellent staff and a friendly welcome awaits at this Scarborough hotel

The worst bed we have slept in

The mattress was horrendous. We could feel lumps while we were trying to sleep . There was no mattress protector. The pillows were so hard we ended up sleeping without one. It was so hot in the room and the window would not stay open.
