We have just returned from a fantastic stay at The Royal. Every member of staff we engaged with were professional and so friendly, a credit to the Hotel. The room was so comfortable and clean with a lovely sea view and the hotel had character and charm . The food was delicious and served in a beautiful dining room. We cannot fault anything and will definitely be returning. Thank you!

BOOK RIGHT NOW!!

I highly recommend this hotel and always stay here when in Scarborough. I always pay extra for the sea view and it is well worth it. Breakfast is great and it is an easy walk down the High Street from the station. Buses are excellent all around the area, eg. Bridlington, Filey, Whitby, Robin Hoods ay, etc. I love the seafront walks. Thank you to all staff.

Woulld have liked a proper double bed as it was 2 single beds pushed together and the mattreses were very hard, making for an uncomfortabe sleep. We had a beach veiw and the room was large and clean. We had a good apart from the uncomfotable bed. Cose to everything and good value for the money. Would stay again.
