Our stay at Grand Hotel Scarborough was really good on the whole. Staff were friendly and explained everything well. The communal lounge areas were absolutely gorgeous. The room had everything we needed in it but my only niggle about the room was we had a jacuzzi bath but it didn't work and outside the window had rubbish in it. Apart from that I had a lovely stay and would definitely come back and recommend it to others

The Grand has a wonderful structure and archetecture and I love staying there. The rooms are functional, clean, beds are comfy, shower works, breakfast is fair to good, restaurant view is spectacular, staff will certainly try and help you. The entertainment at this time of year summer good for children. It is not The Ritz but the views and position in Scarborough is. The seagulls spoil it sqawking and carrying on alarmingly !!
