Location
The hotel lies 950 m from Royal Albert Park and in close proximity to South Bay Beach. A popular place in Scarborough is the Butter Cross, which is only an 8-minute walk away.
Nature lovers might as well enjoy the vicinity to Castle Cliff, located merely 1.1 km away. The oriental themed municipal Peasholm Park is about a 15-minute stroll away, and Scarborough train station is situated 550 m from the property.

“The Royal Hotel's Victorian bones certainly speak to Scarborough's history, and its prime spot puts you close to the beach action. Friendly reception staff make a real difference here. It's a place with potential, particularly if you're after seaside charm.”

the halloween decorations were lovely. the staff were really helpful and friendly. our suite was ideal for our anniversary, it was like a dream. the hotel's decorations gave it a magical ambiance, i loved the effort put into them.
the window seemed to be falling apart. it was excessively hot, like a sauna. i could not open the windows easily because of this issue. the beds were not comfortable as they were hard and lacked cushioning, my poor back felt it.
