    Paying for parking onsite wasn't great especially when it was cheaper in the carpark behind the hotel. The hotel was nice and clean except for our bathroom, The shower head and the edges of the Shower screen needed a good scrub.

    A lovely old fashioned hotel in a great central location. The decor feels like you have stepped back in time to a different century. I liked the stuffed animals especially the Wild Boar in the Bar. The room was spacious and the bed was comfy. The staff were lovely especially the girl behind the reception and behind the bar in the evening.

    Although the rooms were tired they were clean and I think it would benefit in having a restaurant . Although there are plenty of places within walking distance to eat.

    We booked a parking space which I would recommend as it can get busy with on street parking. The property was quirky which I liked and the staff were very helpful

    Our bedroom view wasnt the best but hey ho, it was only for 1 night. What I did mention to reception (and I did remark on how nice the hotel decor was), was our bathroom. The radiator was really rusty and also the silicone round the bath was black. Reception apologised and said they would get handyman to sort it. Shame really as this let the hotel down.

    Loved the decor in the Central. It was just me (well don't have any taxidermy at home), I loved it. Staff were also very friendly on reception.

    No breakfast offered / food available (although not a major issue with the centre on the doorstep), decor tired in rooms - could do with a refresh. Takes a while for the water to heat up, extra charge for limited parking spaces (only a tenner per night but places limited).

    Great location for any central Scarborough activities. Interesting history and decor throughout the public areas. Spacious double room. Staff friendly and polite.

    Because they kept the heating on it was a little bit warm.

    The room and bathroom where a very good size verry clean..The hotel was about 5 minutes from the train station and bus station and the town. It's a pity they don't do breakfast the hotel was very cosy.

    Just needs a good clean and a fresh lick of paint.

    Lovely hotel, decor was fantastic, veryyyy comfortable bed. The location is great if you're travelling in by train, puts you straight at the top town. My room was big, and had everything I needed. Shower was red hot and powerful.
