Grand Hotel Scarborough

10/10 Excellent
"Was really good stay staff was great especially Barbara on front desk/check in the only down side I would say is that lifts need updating and also a separate lift for the staff with multiple large trolleys other than that I had a fantastic time!"

Grand Villa Heights

Grand Villa Heights

8/10 Good
"A staff member advised that the hotel is focused on catering to venues. A wedding was being held when we were staying. We were advised by the hotel in advance but after booking through Expedia. The best parts of the hotel are reserved for the event leaving hotel guests not part of the event to be catered for in poorer situated parts. On the plus side, the hotel is situated in a stunning location but being on the coast the wind howled outside the room. The overwhelming impression is that guests not part of a function are a necessary afterthought."

Mansion House

10/10 Excellent
"Very well appointed; wonderfully kind, helpful staff, second to none. Excellent breakfasts. Several flights of stairs to any rooms, no lift. Street parking only, not ‘on-site’ as listed. We were in quieter season, so street spaces could be found. In itself, a superb hotel."
