We wanted a weekend away in my wife's Yorkshire homeland and thought we'd stay on the coast. Saw some good reviews for this hotel and gave it a go and was surprised that the reviews understated how great this place is. The location on top of the cliffs in the beautiful North Bay is ideal for access to the beach... more

We first stayed here just after it had changed hands about 4-5 years ago and liked it so much we booked to go back when some friends suggested we all go to Scarborough. We were not disappointed. The ground floor has been totally changed and is now very stylish and nosing into all the rooms when people had checked out,... more

I was born and bred in Scarborough and visit a couple of times a year to see family. The town is not what it was, though there are still some highlights. One of these is the view from the Hotel Helaina. Situated high above the North Bay, it has panoramic views of the bay and of the castle. Everything is... more

We stayed for two nights over a very busy weekend in Scarborough. We had found The Helaina Hotel by chance on the web - someone on Trip Advisor was moaning about another hotel, but then said The Helaina had been excellent. We agree! This tall terrace house overlooking the North Bay is exceptional. We had a first floor bay window... more

My partner and... more

There is a real attention to detail, we would not consider staying anywhere else in the town. And despite appalling weather managed to have 3... more

We stayed at the Helaina for a couple of days at the end of July. We went for a relaxing break and booked last minute. We could only get a standard rear facing room because we left it so late. I called the hotel to confirm the booking and from the first moment I was very happy with the service... more

Just come back from staying 6 nights at the hotel Helaina. Stayed in room 8 and can honestly say have been to a number of 4 star hotels and the room came to that standard with a fantastic view of the bay. Two comfortable chairs, a bed to match and also good size shower cubicle. I would also like to... more
