Expensive for what it is

Staff are very friendly but the hotel was a disappointment for a 4 star "luxury" hotel. Desperately in need of decoration inside and out but also needs the garden and outside seating areas tidying at the very least. Both lifts not working which wasn't a problem for us but lots of guests were struggling with the stairs. The duvet cover in our room would have been relegated to a dustsheet at home. We didnt spend much time in our room as staying overnight for a concert but because of this paid an eye watering amount for very below par room. Despite being shabby the room was clean.

We were in room 302 which has a sea view and was very clean and well presented. My only comment on the room is it was very warm, it felt like the heating was on, even though the outside weather was 20 degrees and overcast. I was also a bit surprised at the additional £50 I was asked to pay on check in (????), although this is refunded when you check out. The staff are very nice and the hotel very good and I would recommend a stay here. The hotel is very high up and there are a lot of steps to climb if the tramway isn't working from the beach to the top of the hill. Overall I was very pleased with our stay at the Crown Spa Hotel and would certainly revisit.

Outside of the hotel looks lovely. Sea facing hotel room is a must. Rear of the hotel is not as pretty. No air conditioning in the room and only found the fan in morning. Breakfast buffet was good but we’ve had better

Prior to arrival the communication with the hotel was terrible. No way to contact reception and the phone lines constantly do not work or switched off. Looks like a lack of staff issue or overworked perhaps. It’s very poor. The worst I’ve ever experienced. Upon arrival check in was fine and relatively swift. The room on the top floor was big but space underutilised. The bed was small for the room. TV far away from the bed. Was clean but a million different sets of lights and none of them appeared to work the main light in the room. Bathroom again big but the shower is above the bath. The bath has a concave wavy floor and the shower head is above the centre. It’s impossible and impracticable to have a wavy bath floor when trying to have a shower. It’s really poor. However you do get a TV in there for some reason. The corridors had trolleys and food left out all the time we stayed and they were there in the morning still. Again a lack of staff appears the issue. It’s OK but how people can have their wedding here is beyond me. A 4/10 because it was clean and I only had to pay £6 for the stay. I would not go back.

The hotel is very run down and definitely not a four star hotel by usual standards. Very noisy with people up and down the corridors as well as children screaming, view onto the car park for a superior room which was pretty dire. The bed was so hard and it was an uncomfortable night.

Hotel was nice but the bed was not to good. The food was over prices £35 for breakfast. The biggest disappointment was that the pool closed to kids at 6 pm and the pool was the reason we got the room there.

Characterful Hotel

Nice friendly hotel. Reception staff very helpful. Leisure area staff great. Disappointed the jacuzzi etc area was closed. Breakfast was great, staff fantastic. Room was a little tired, carpets stained, radiator cover hanging off, fudge pulls forward each time you open door, ceiling fan not working, poorly fitting toilet seat

Shocking

Stayed here for a special occasion and were terribly disappointed. Had to book a superior room to fit family in. Room was dated and in poor condition: parts of taps missing, corrision on lights, marks up walls, furmatire heavily stained / laminate finish coning off. Also, even with the window open, there was no air in the room. The fan provided was dropping to bits - missing screws on front cage, missing buttons / parts to change speed of fan, and the oscilation had broken! Staff were freindly and helpful but state of the room really spoiled our stay.

We have stayed at the crown spa a few times now. We know Scarborough well and find this hotel in an excellent position with everything within walking distance. The room was comfortable and clean and we also enjoyed the swimming pool and gym areas. The staff were very polite and friendly.
