Disappointing.
Pros:

Disappointing. Was the most I have paid for a 3 night break without breakfast, in a long time. First room had no view, glass doors out to the car park. Room smelt heavily of damp dog. Shower was a death trap. Asked to change rooms for one with a bath and quieter. They did accommodate this with no fuss, and house maid Carol was a star.

Food was generally a “miss” although did had a nice lunch of crispy belly pork and boa buns one day.


Ordered room service of a cheese board. Huge chunks of cheese, crackers, grapes and quince paste ( tasteless orange jelly in slices, ughhhh). No butter, no knife so ended up eating some cheese with a teaspoon.

One evening ordered vegetable curry. A swimming bowl of soupy sauce arrive filled with mange tout, no chick peas or sweet potato as described. Rice should have been pilau, but was effectively boil in the bag white rice. That was all sent back and had deep fried frozen scampi which fell apart and requested new potatoes and it came with peas. Was okay.

Very young staff - would looked terrified if asked about anything, or miserable. The bar was covered in dirty glasses. My sense is they had more business than they could manage on food and drink side.


The hotel has good sea views from its balcony deck and outside seating. Is a precipitous incline down to the sea and the road in a very steep gradient. I did not appreciate this and getting down to the beach before the funicular opened was lethal for an older lady.

Location good.

Pros:

Lovely place. Amazing views and they have done a great job with the outside eating spaces. Staff all brilliant in terms of work ethic and service. Food was ok, portion sizes huge so if you have hollow legs you’ll love it. Downside was being in a room right next to the cellar delivery in the morning. Made so much noise we might as well had helped them unload the kegs. And in no universe is that room worth £240 for a night with no breakfast. Totally overpriced

Pros:

The Spa Hotel sits just above the gorgeous coastline with an easy path down to the seaside. It is a slightly steep hill up to the town center, but that's easily walkable. The restaurant was excellent and everyone so kind and friendly. I saw the most spectacular sunrise and sunset at the property. You can't help but fall in love with the Hotel and it's natural beauty in the seaside surroundings.

Pros:

The service at breakfast was very poor. Waited 75mins before order came
When this was reported to the general manager her response was indifferent at best and never mind she would pass the message to the kitchen but it was sunny in Saltburn !! Never once apologized. This marred an otherwise pleasant stop over.

Sit and absorb the view
Pros:

Another fabulous visit to The Spa. Unfortunately only two nights this year! All the building work has been completed and it’s a wow. Yet again the greatest asset of this hotel is its staff. These are the friendliest group of people who will literally do anything to make sure your visit is splendid. Not everything can be perfect but be sure that The Spa will work hard to reach the top.

Pros:

Friendly, welcoming check in. Nice big rooms. Very dog friendly. Breakfast was outstanding! So hospitable....explained to the manager that we found our beds uncomfortable, the manager organised new mattresses with no question and a smile. We did find the room to be a bit stuffy as the only ventilation was possible of we kept the french door on the latch, which was perfect during the day but perhaps a little unsafe at night. We used the air conditioninh unit to circulate air in the room which was fine but noisy. On the whole, this wasn't a major issue, we worked around it. The location of The Spa Hotel is unreal - walking distance to just about everywhere worth visiting in Saltburn. We can't wait to come back, it will be the only place we stay. The staff, from housekeeping to management are all an asset to the place. Thanks for having us.
