Just returned from a stay at this B&B as someone who previously studied, lived and worked in the town and went back as a visitor. The Riviera was clearly a fully-fledged hotel at one time but is now just a B&B. I think this is a shame as it has a lovely lounge and bar area which now stands redundant.... More

Stayed here for a weekend in April and had a brilliant time! The location was excellent, positioned right in the centre so only a short walk from everything. The room was fresh clean and spacious and the ground floor lounge was really useful. All staff were friendly and knowledgable. The breakfast was lovely, there was a range of continental and... More

I stayed at this hotel on the 22nd April with my sister, mother & nephew. Upon arrival the receptionist checking us in was very helpful, approachable and knowledgeable. Our room was ready when we got there (12pm) & so we checked in and went to our spacious family room. No complaints up until now. From that point we never saw... More

Paid £100 for one nights stay! Extremely overpriced for a start, poor customer service and rude owners. Old fashioned and dirty rooms. A 2 star b&b at best.

Having encountered a problem with a parking meter right outside I asked my wife to go in... More

When we arrived in Scarborough we got slightly lost, so we phoned The Riviera and were given step by step directions on how to get there, very impressed. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff continued throughout our stay. The room was cosy, warm and very comfortable. The food was excellent, and the waitresses were very polite and catered to... More

We stayed there Sept in that heatwave, the breakfast had everything to suit everyone. The room was at the top 4th floor, clean & comfortable. The furniture was old but clean, shower could have been a bit bigger. Floorboards creaky & lift very old type , but we would go back again only next time ask for a room at... More
