The hotel and staff are amazing

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

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.

Convenient but tired‼️

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

Ok for a one night stay

My stay was mixed, I had booked a single room for one night. On arrival I found the bedding to be torn and had a large hole in the quilt cover. I reported this to reception and was moved to a different room, this was a very nice room and the bedding was fine. The hotel itself is quite tired, would benefit from a refurb, there were several leaks around the building. Pleasant staff who were very helpful.
Nicola, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Better than expected

Hotel was better than expected after reading the reviews, first room we were given hadn’t been cleaned when we went to it so we were upgraded to a better room, used pool and sauna, pool was nice and warm, would be nice if it was included in the price but the £6 charge each wasn’t too bad. Breakfast tasted nice and was hot too which was a bonus. Some of the corridors had an offensive smell.

10/10 Exceptional

10/10 Great postion for beach / city centre. Marvellous friendly ,helpful staff, good quality breakfast/evening meals , comfortable bed/pillows, fluffy towels, good selection of drinks in the bar, comfy seating in bar , fab Edwardian hotel with a must see staircase and thick plush carpets. I used multi story car park across the road Friday night to Sunday noon £21. I would certainly go back to the Royal hotel.
