The Royal Hotel was in the past one of the best hotels in Scarborough, not any more. It has had problems over the past 18 months and is now in the ownership of Brittania Hotels, who own the nearby Grand Hotel, not a lot to be said for that hotels either !! We stayed on the 30th/31st May on a... More

Arrived here today having been here several times over recent years for a society Agm. It's been gradually going downhill but to see just how poorly maintained and dirty the place is now is depressing. Whilst the bedroom is fairly clean, apart from the carpet, the public areas, especially the dining room, don't appear to have been cleaned for an... More

We Upgraded to a seaview room for 4-nights the room was reasonabley clean the bed was comfortable the shower head was blocked so never worked properly so went to Poundland and bought one which worked a treat so if you are in room 308 you should have no trouble with the shower. The seagulls can be noisy at the front... More

On arrival we were told that, despite having originally been allocated a room, the hotel was overbooked. After waiting an hour we were moved to the wonderful Mount Hotel (see review). The receptionist, Adam, was very helpful in facilitating the transfer and in arranging the fringe benefits that came with the Travel Zoo deal. All that remained at the Royal... More

My husband and I with two other friends visited this hotel from 29 to 31 May on a Travelzoo deal. Having read the recent reviews I was prepared for the worst! However we all had a food time. The bad points: Only one lift working - we wre OK as we were on the second floor but our friends were... More

I wrote a very good review about the Royal about 3 years ago. Ive come here again for a couple of nights and can't believe how bad it is now. First, they refuse to give a second room key, even though there are two adults. The shower gave icy water and I was told a boiler had broken and it... More

My self and wife + friends booked a weekend on KGB at the Royal hotel scarborough, we had a great time the food was excellent and the hotel is very nice and in its day would have been a very fabulous place to stay. Location is perfect, will use this hotel again in future.

The Royal Hotel Scarborough, conjures up the image of elegance and opulence, where once only the privileged and wealthy guests would stay. Occupying a prime position in the town, yet with magnificent sea views over the harbour to Scarborough castle Unfortunately this image has to be placed in history, as the first impression from the outside is a run down,...

The main reception is very pretty and retains plenty of character, the receptionist (female) was uniterested in our large family party that had booked to stay here, leaving our bags next to the reception desk as our rooms wouldn't be ready till 3pm. The room we had was supposedly a double but you'd have to climb over your partner to... More
