I stayed here with my girlfriend for one night. We fancied a quick night away from Leeds, and considering the weather was warm on the bank holiday weekend we headed for Scarborough. I think we were very lucky, we could have been given one of the best rooms in the hotel with number 118. Had a fantastic view over the... More

We have stayed at this hotel many years ago and were very pleased to see it on a booking website meaning we would pay an affordable price. We managed to get the last room which was a twin, and were pleased to find it was very spacious, lovely and warm with very nice decor. The hotel is perhaps in need... More

After reading some reviews of this hotel I was a little bit worried. Things were however a lot better than I expected. The girl on reception was friendly and polite, my room although very dated was nice and clean and had an en suite bathroom and a flat screen tv although goodness knows when the window was last cleaned!

Booked a table for 5 adults and one child for mothering Sunday lunch. We arrived a few minutes late but were greeted by warm friendly staff. We were directed to the dining room which was on the floor below. The dining room was light and nicely decorated. Our table was located next to the window and there was beautiful view... More

The Esplanade is almost constantly empty, which creates no atmosphere. I have been to the Turkey & Tinsel a few times and some of the 'acts' have been cancelled due to insufficient numbers. The rooms are on the shabby side and are crying out for re-decoration. The hotel also holds a queer smell. The views from the rooms, however, are... More

I read some reviews on this hotel before we arrived and they made me a little wary. When i got there I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist who was very warm and inviting. Our room was lovely with superb views across the bay. It was clean and had all the facilities expected of a 3 star hotel. We... More

The bedroom was a good size and the beds clean and comfortable. The bathroom was rather cold probably because of the large window. There was a good choice for breakfast; fruit, yoghurt, cereals and porridge and a full cooked breakfast with an alternative of kippers. Reception staff were OK, particularly Helen who was very friendly and helpful. There are several... More
