The property was of the time of the victorian era, rooms clean and tidy, staff very nice and friendly, food very good. Only down side was the parking very closely pack in to the point that we didn't think we would get back in. Which I dont think it is there fault. So a 4 and 5 from us.😆

Not Scarborough Fair but Scarborough Outstanding
Despite the more than 200 year age of this building, this is an extremely comfortable establishment, with just the occasional creak to betray it's heritage. Situated near to the beaches, the shopping areas and the theatre, the hotel has a refined atmosphere with very efficient, friendly service all round. The breakfast is served in elegant surroundings with a very enjoyable variety of options, making for an overall extremely pleasant stay. We will return.

Scarborough Riviera
This is an elegant B&B establishment, situated right in the centre of Scarborough, giving access to beaches and buses, station and shops, as well as restaurants and the renowned SJT Theatre. Despite being an elderly building, the rooms are very comfortable and the breakfasts of a very high standard, with friendly, attentive service. Parking (as everywhere in the town) can be difficult, but loading and unloading is permitted outside the hotel and car parks are within easy reach. A most enjoyable visit which we hope to repeat.

The location was excellent being close to the shops, bars and restaurants but the noise and mess from the seagulls was disappointing to say the least and other properties in the row lowered the tone somewhat. However, we had a pleasant stay although the room was stuffy despite the fan and the window not opening did not help this fact

Riviera Scarborough
The hotel was lovely, it was a bit dated and the plug for the iron was loose. (Told on departing) The breakfast was lovely and plenty to choose from. The only thing was the lift, on two occasions we had to use the stairs because someone had left the lift door open which was annoying.

Breakfast very attentive and courteous.Also smart and very covid aware. Sadly though we found breakfast a little sparse. The windows in the room were very draughty so felt cold in night. Generally speaking we enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Location very good.

Lovely, smart, deserves a look.
Fantastic breakfast on the first morning, shame they couldn’t fit me in 2nd day. I’ve stayed at many hotels in Scarborough and their breakfast was by far the best! Lovely comfy room with soft sheets and pump pillows. Quirky old lift which always made me smile when using it. I would definitely stay again.

Oh dear, oh dear
Oh dear! What a very disappointing stay. From check in to check out we felt we were an inconvenience and we were very glad to depart. If Basil Fawlty was around this would be his ideal home. Check in was unfriendly, unwelcoming and rather rude. The lift, an antiquated affair, with two noisy sliding doors did at least work but must have disturbed the occupants of nearby rooms. Our room was quite the smallest hotel room we have ever encountered, more akin to a small single than a double. It was also insufferably hot. A fan had been provided but this was not up to the task. Breakfast was adequate and greatly helped by having friendly staff. If there is one thing we can thank this wretched Covid pandemic for it is the demise of the dreaded breakfast buffet. Table service it was and this proved fairly efficient. Our breakfast was cooked to order and was of a fair standard. Pastries were old and rather stale. I feel desperately sorry for much of the hospitality industry but if the pandemic could clear away places like this then it would be doing us all a favour.

Nice place to stop whilst in Scarborough.
We had a nice little break staying at the Riviera. It’s situated perfect in Scarborough. Just a few minutes walk to the main shops, bars, restaurants and beach. Apart from the squeaky floorboards and ridiculously sprung internal doors banging shut, it was pretty quiet. Our room was the top floor at the back, pretty small and basic but clean and pleasant. Breakfast was nice and the staff were fantastic. Overall, a nice place.
