Hotel was in a great location with parking an added bonus. Breakfast was good and waiting staff polite and helpful. Rooms were all of different sizes (ours being large but other room in booking very small even though booked 2 of the same) We had the awful smell of cooking and fat constantly in our room and couldn’t bear the windows open. Cleaning not up to scratch, found lots of dust and a dirty tissue behind beside cabinet, old label just under bed and bleach stains all over bathroom floor. All rooms could do with some upgrade or a lick of paint on all chipped woodwork. Rooms were replenished daily with yea/ coffee/ hot chocolate and biscuits. Towels also changed daily. Overall not a bad stay just needs updating and tidying up. Maybe less charge for smaller room for one person instead of paying same price as a room much larger for two people.

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel is now looking “tired” and in need of a deep clean. The carpets throughout need a shampoo and some important aspects need an overhaul eg: bathrooms and staircase. We stayed in room 11 which was quite compact. The bed and pillows were very comfy. The key issue was the smell in the room which was coming from the en-suite. We believe it is drain related but has the odour of rotting cabbage. It penetrates into the bedroom and “hits” you as you enter the room. Periodically there was a smelly drain odour too which again filled the room. The room was warm so we had the window open. This meant we could hear the seagulls at all hours and the noise until the early hours from the pub opposite. Breakfast was overall good but service differed on the two mornings and the quality of the food. Day 1 my husband ordered porridge and it took forever. The cooked breakfast was fresh and tasty. Day 2 the sausage, black pudding and bacon were overcooked. This hotel has huge potential - it needs some TLC. A good thorough clean would help enormously. It’s in a fantastic spot and the free parking a bonus. I hope this review is received in the spirit it’s written hoping the hotel can survive into the future.

It is the ideal venue for a 'traditional' seaside holiday stay, particularly for the 'older' guest (like us). Although it is not the most up to date, that is part of the attraction, and the service is impeccable.

Sci-fi Scarborough

I stayed at the Palm hotel for a business weekend. The hotel was very clean. Good choice of options for evening meals. Breakfast options were excellent. The staff were attentive but not intrusive. Really good location only five minutes drive from the railway station and minutes to the venue I was attending.

Very enjoyable stay. Only problem was parking. Long way to walk to the car park with bags, especially when you have mobility problems. Other than that stay was lovely and David was very helpful and friendly. As an ex resident of Scarborough all the staff were very friendly, helpful and professional.
