Fantastic experience: Beautiful apartment, clean and great location.

Positive experience: Comfy apartments in a great location overlooking the sea from an angle up on the hill. Shame we didn't get to try their onsite pool, sauna, and gym though. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Almost everything perfect, except for a few strange broken window blinds in the rooms. Lift also smelled funny. Not the cheapest place either considering similar places in town at lower prices.

Fantastic experience: Really nice gem of a hotel. In Scarborough most hotels were built at the same time, some show their age well and some don't. This hotel and it's rooms have clearly been modernised. Rooms are spotless, modern fixtures and fittings, newly fitted shower. But you can still tell you are staying in an older or classic hotel, with a cute little lift to still having floorboard. The pool is amazing. We didn't eat at the hotel as there was too much temptation from local restaurants. We will be back.

Amanda Worrall 1 year ago

Positive experience: Excellent service, excellent food, excellent view. Only downside was I booked this particular hotel because it had a jacuzzi and pool. The pool was freezing and murky and the Jacuzzi wasn't working so I was very disappointed to say the least. Also note to the hotel. It would be nice if you could utilize the central heating in the room as we were cool last night. Luckily I brought a hotel water bottle so we used that.

Positive experience: A warm welcome by the staff and easy on street parking. A quick ride to the base of the cliffs on the adjacent lift and a nice walk to Scarborough seafront and harbour. Facilities in the hotel are really quite good, rooms and hotel are slightly showing age but this adds only to the charm.

Fantastic experience: Myself and my partner came here for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday and all we can say is what an absolutely amazing time we had. The hotel and staff were incredible and we will definitely be returning back. There isn't enough star ratings to give otherwise we could of given more. Our room was beautiful we stayed in room 108. The view was incredible. The amenities were outstanding, very clean and we loved having our swim 1st thing in the morning. The full weekend has been amazing. We would like to especially say a massive thank you to a lady called Wendy who works in the restaurant her dining room waitreseing was exceptional very welcoming everytime always went the extra mile with how she greeted us. I also just wanted to say how lovely it was she went that extra mile on my birthday and decorated our table. Thank you again.

Positive experience: The hotel was lovely and clean but our bedroom needed a refurbishment as did other areas of hotel. The evening main course menu was not good and something you don't expect to have on a Saturday evening. The chicken pie was terrible and many residents left it and commented on it later.You would expect to find the main dishes on at a brewers fayre. The staff were fantastic

Jacob F. 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Redecorations are great. Kept the timely feels but gave it a nice modern touch. Our room was surprisingly big, with some lovely sea views! Bathroom slightly smaller but absolutely okay for the price. Generally this is a very serene and nice hotel given the region. Not much going on in the immediate surroundings but that can be a positive thing. Only down side would be the sound insulation, but quite honestly in a building of this age that is to be expected.

Jimmy Mcgurty 3 years ago

Positive experience: We had 2 nights away in the Red lea Hotel Scarborough, Sunday to Tuesday 2 rooms 314 and 216. 216 was great a double bed and single bed huge room great sea view table and chairs good size TV, but 314 was tiny clean but very small. The hotel was really good staff friendly, helpful and attentive. The breakfast was lovely, would definitely recommend and will return, just maybe ask to see room first.

June Ru 4 years ago

Positive experience: Convenient for the cliff lift. On the downside the room was smaller than expected and the bathroom was very small. Difficult to get in and out of the bath/shower. Grab handles on the wall over the bath would have been helpful. We did not find the mealtimes very accommodating but probably due to the hotel looking after it's staff and only seating half the capacity.
