The Helaina, hotel in Scarborough

The Helaina is a 5-minute walk from Scarborough’s beaches, harbor and town center.

Excellent well run hotel. Very clean and the breakfasts are fantastic. The room was on the small side, but given buildings of this style, we expected that. Nice functional bathroom, with quality fittings and proper well installed tiles (the plastic cladding you often see is awful) Nice to also not see any mould anywhere in the shower area (bleach spray being used I reckon) It's amazing how many hotels don't have particularly clean bathrooms. All the staff were friendly and genuinely sincere and warm. Shout out to the specialist cleaning assistant. She was lovely and obviously is doing a tremendous job as stated. You can always pick up via the staff, that any organisation is well run from the top down, by how happy they are. The Helaina ticked all the boxes.

Marine View Guest House, hotel in Scarborough

Marine View Guest House in Scarborough provides adults-only accommodations with a terrace and a shared lounge.

The location has beautiful views over the sea and our room had a large bay window - great for admiring the vista. The central areas of the city can be a bit rough, so the location at the seafront and a bit away from the center was quite pleasant. The host was fantastic, helpful and welcoming - we'd be happy to return any day.

Brightwater family room for up to 3 people with shared facilities, hotel in Scarborough

Brightwater family room for up to 3 people with shared facilities features accommodations in Scarborough near The Spa Scarborough and Scarborough Open Air Theatre.

One of the nicest guest houses we've stayed at! Immaculately clean, private kitchen, one shower and two toilets for 2 rooms made it very personalized. We had a lovely room overlooking the courtyard, cool with windows and a fan. Quiet neighborhood, close to the beach. Easy to park and had parking pass for our two nights for only £3. Would definitely stay again. Hosts Sheila and William were friendly and helpful.

Peter and Stuart are superb hosts! Delightful and welcoming, and very happy to share their little paradise and offer information for the surrounding area. Room 4 was decorated to a very high standard with rich colours and the most wonderful view. The shower was fabulous and the bed most comfortable. Breakfast was marvellous with the finest products cooked perfectly - we thoroughly enjoyed our short break. The treasures and trinkets are a real talking point - we spent lots of time admiring paintings and furnishings. The welcome refreshments and home made cake was such a lovely touch. Our thanks to these amazing hosts. We will not hesitate to return in the future.
