Perfect for our needs. Location excellent.
Pros:

Location, parking, friendly welcome.

Cons:

Expensive for the type of accommodation but usually find Scarborough are pricier than other seaside towns even for aged outdated buildings. Would stay again though as wouldn't pay more for anywhere else in the town.

Not what we were expecting for the money
Pros:

It was supposed to be a hotel but was a bed and breakfast but had to pay extra for the breakfast

Cons:

It was old and tired, barely no hot water as no pressure
Bedding was old, pillows were flat
Decor was poor
Loud and noisy outside at all hours with people shouting at each other
We payed for 2 nights and went home after the first night

Pros:

I was greeted by a lovely woman (for the life of me I can't remember her name) she was very welcoming and friendly from the moment I arrived, and was very helpful. The bedroom was nice and all the facilities were functional. The location is great as it's pretty central and just across the road from the station! Lovely stay!

Cons:

I guess there's not much to fault. For the price I paid, it was all good.

Ok for a last minute booking - hopefully not to be repeated
Pros:

It was clean and we were met at the door by the host .

Cons:

The photo and description makes this sound much grander than it actually is.
It was surrounding a square where a number of homeless people slept.
We were charged £5 for a car park on waste ground where we parked for free last year staying in a different hotel.
The hotel was satisfactory but would not chose to go there again.
It was a last minute booking due to booked accommodation cancelling a few days earlier

The host was lovely, very cheerful and friendly and so I hated putting this review, but I did feel that it was very poor
Pros:

Position

Cons:

Room, although a budget room and we didn’t expect luxury, was soulless, more akin to a cell. No colour apart from a wall hanging of a beach and palm trees! Didn’t really work!
Double bed against the wall so had to climb over my husband to get up in the night to use the bathroom, three floors down.
Curtains were so thin we were awake very early due to the morning light.
Furniture cobbled together, not very pleasant.
Wouldn’t take much money to put a bit of colour on the walls, nice pictures and some better quality bedding, making the small room a bit cosier.

Horrible
Pros:

Property is fine, where as the owner she puts on a complete& utter total show of “being the nice lady”.

Cons:

Property is fine, where as the owner she puts on a complete& utter total show of “being the nice lady”.
She shoved literally me & my 3 kids &baby out in the rain with no rain cover. She tried charging me £50! To have an extra 20 minutes to sort the kids out as we was FROZEN all night and morning. As there was no heating as I stated the night before but got ignored. She told me well as an adult u should know how to use a radiator everyone does? Which I stated I radiator was on 5 but u hadn’t set it to be on as explained in text back from herself. She shouted infront of kids and tried embarrassing myself. Also she tried saying she’s going to charge my card not agreeed?

Very good
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful owner, the room was tidy, and contained lots of information on activities and places to eat. Accommodation is across the road from the train station with everything in within walking distance, should you not drive.

Cons:

Being unable to eat in the room if you have a budget, booking
