Nice hotel, though dated.

We had a 1 night stay at this hotel in August. We couldn't check in until 3pm and when we did come back, there was quite a wait to check in. This could be managed better. Reception did give us a scratchcard to put on the car for parking at the front, which costs £5 for 2 days. The hotel is a lovely building, but is quite dated and needs upgrading. Our room floor, dipped down towards the bathroom. The location is ok, but you will struggle to walk down and back up to the town due to the steep hill. The spa was available to use at anytime. They had a good range of facilities, but again are quite dated and need upgrading. If this was a cheap break, I would have scored it higher than ok, but have stayed in better hotels for the price we paid.

Check in was awful. Queued to check in, 10 minutes early. The receptionists said we had to wait until 3. Waited, then had to queue again for 15 minutes at 3 o'clock. Location is good. There was no staff member at the entrance lobby when we got back to the hotel at midnight. Felt a bit unsafe.

An average hotel needs a little bit of love

The reception area of the hotel is smart and a pleasure to lounge in. Our room felt quite basic and small. We’d paid for a sea view but you couldn’t see much of the sea as the window was so grubby. The main light switch didn’t work, the card holder for the lights fell off, one curtain was almost hanging off, the toilet made an awful ear piercing sound after flushing and everything just felt a little tired and old. However, the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was ok. Staff were really friendly. An average stay but we would have been better in a premier inn 😬

I booked a room with a balcony. When I checked in I was informed that I could not access the balcony due to health and safety. I couldn't even open the balcony door more than an inch as they had attached a safety latch. I asked for a partial refund which was not granted. I wrote to the GM of the hotel and never got a reply. The hotel and spa facilities are tired and very old fashioned, and the breakfast is rather sad. The bar staff was very inefficient and the service in the restaurant very slow. I would not recommend this hotel to anybody.

A wonderful hotel, but far too hot!!

This is a wonderful hotel with fantastic rooms, excellent spa and restaurant facilities and lovely staff. However, our room, 501 was far too hot. Fans were provided but this didnt fully resolve the problem and we had a very uncomfortable night's sleep and tried to minimise the time we spent in the room. We reported this to reception and disappointingly, a lack of care was shown and no effort was made to compensate this.

One Night in Scarborough

Room was more dated than imagined, there is a sigh to say who cleaned your room - the cups were dirty on the service tray I had a single room, the bed was big and comfy, the bath was huge and great to have ambient lighting It was red hot but there wasn’t any AC or a fan available The recieptionist who checked me if was exceptional (around 7pm on Saturday 9th August) Disappointed that the swimming pool etc closed early on a Saturday, the only night I stayed Thank-you

Nice spa luxury hotel

The pool was a great touch to our holiday, but the jacuzzi spa pool was too enclosed & had a really strong smell of chlorine which stung peoples eyes! The breakfast was expensive for what we got & a little cold, but we did go a little late!

Although a little dated the rooms were very spacious and well kept. The food was very good and internet access also good. Parking was awkward maybe due to the season. The Spa facilities were also very good.

The Crown Hotel Scarborough - Superior Twin Room

This was easily one of the most disappointing hotel stays I’ve ever experienced — a far cry from the 4* experience advertised. The hotel is outdated and clearly hasn’t been renovated in years. The online photos are incredibly misleading, showing fresh, modern rooms that look nothing like what we were given. Our “superior” twin room looked tired and worn. It had food remnants by the bed, suggesting it hadn’t been properly cleaned, and it appeared someone had been sitting on the bed when we arrived. The room had been set up as a double despite us booking a twin — we had to request housekeeping to separate the beds after check-in. The bathroom was just as poor: the shower controls were literally hanging off the wall, exposing internal piping, which felt unsafe and unkempt. We also visited the on-site spa, which was advertised as a “serenity retreat.” In reality, it felt more like a dated community leisure centre. The pool was cold, the hot tub barely warm, the steam room wasn’t steaming, and the sauna didn’t reach a proper temperature. Treatments were disappointing too. Breakfast the next morning was frankly appalling. The hot food was rubbery & the “fresh” fruit clearly tinned. We were originally going to dine in the hotel the night before — thank goodness we didn’t. Even our taxi driver warned us not to eat there and confirmed the hotel has significantly declined since COVID. Definitely wouldn’t stay here again or recommend. It might have been #1 before but not now!
