Top Thornton Dale Hotel Reviews

Crown Spa Hotel Scarborough by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"We had a few problems with the room which we reported so many times and nothing was done about it. However we loved Scarborough and the spa facilities. We would go back."

Grand Hotel Scarborough

10/10 Excellent

"Really loved the hotel. Bedroom is nice and simple. There are a few cracks about and licks of paint needed but otherwise the hotel stands nicely and is a comfortable place to stay. I will say the rooms on the upper floors are warm from the rising heat but the hotel provided a fan which was great. All in all a comfortable stay!"

The Clarence Gardens Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"6th hotel we've stayed in in Scarborough in the last 12 months and this was by far the best one yet"

The Clifton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the small double as we knew we’d be early evening arrival. Reception staff were very cheerful, helpful and explained breakfast time. If you’d rather have your car in their car park definitely phone and do that as on street parking is good if you can get space. Breakfast is buffet style and is very good with continental and full English available. We will stay here again."
