It was a last minute booking so really appreciate the room availability but the room was very outdated, damaged doors and old facilities. Really clean and ideal for our one night stay.

We chose the Royal for location. The property is very tired. When we arrived our beds were poorly made. I felt uncomfortable in the room & would rate the appearance 6/10. There were 2 chairs in the room which dust had accumulated on the seats. Thankfully the bedding was white & clean.

The only good thing is the area that this property is located. It’s not clear and the room we were given did not have the basics and looks like it was not cleaned for ages, it was dusty and the smell was not good.

The hotel was awful and disgusting The roll my heart was Number 420. The room got the mould everywhere on the bathroom and on the ceiling above our bed the bed was dirty and the bed spring was out of the bed hurt my partner pack after we complain to the receptionist they gave us room number 6 after we talk the other room we found a blood on the pillow. The caution was so dirty like never been cleaned before and it’s not big different than the first room we had mould and dirt everywhere plus the kettle was dirty we couldn’t use it. We have had very bad experience and we shocked as we should celebrate our anniversary I couldn’t believe what’s going on Unbelievable we drove about 3 hours away from my home town to celebrate our anniversary at Scarborough because we love Scarborough city and we have a good memory over there but what happened at the hotel? I cannot believe it that mould and dirt everywhere on the rooms and blood on my cushions and below. I have talk a load of pictures as an evidence I feel so sorry because our anniversary and pressure’s time should be a romantic time turn to disgusting and destroy our loving time what we been true-at the hotel rooms

The room was disgusting. It hadn’t seen a cleaner in 90 years, fawlty towers would have been cleaner, I asked for clean sheets, I didn’t get them, I asked for a cleaner and I didn’t get one of them either, I spoke to 3 different managers and I didn’t get any further. I am disgusted with my stay, there was blood and piss stains on the mattress, and the bath I couldn’t even use as it was that dirty, I was scared of catching something.
