Crown Spa Hotel Scarborough by Compass Hospitality

Old building but still grand. Nice and quiet, good nights sleep. Convenient for the centre of scarbrough. Pleasant staff.

We had a lovely large room with a sea view. The location and views are wonderful. We have visted this hotel several times over many years and were sad to see the deterioration in the dining areas. We paid for breakfast for 2 days but cut our losses and went elsewhere the 2nd day. The breakfast area is like a service station cafe. This is not 4 star. Luke warm buffet food, tea in a mug from a machine and a horrible room. Dining in the evening we had a reasonable meal but no sauvignon blanc and we were told the only option had been chardonnay for some time due to supplier failure. Sad to see the

Seaview perfect. Tv is a bit small. Bedding in the room and settings are old fashioned. Staff are helpful. Never try the spa, seemed like small and strong bleach smell.

Efficient and friendly check in. Staff very courteous and helpful. Our room was a little tired and old fashioned but clean and comfortable. Bathroom facilities very good. Breakfast buffet food was not particularly hot. I suspect the food server heater was inadequate. Evening meal was excellent, again lovely staff and very reasonable prices. The pool and spa is really superb and well worth using. It's the biggest jacuzzi we've ever seen! Overall a very pleasurable stay.

Overall good but one or two minor issues that the quality B&B's in Scarborough do better than this 4 star. Such as quality of breakfast service table service, not buffet and bottled sauces and not sachets difficult or impossible to open & biscuits in room. Rainfall shower with no separate hand shower over bath not suitable with inadequate water pressure to wash off soap. Window in room not able to fully close so wind noise substantial at times. Pre checkin on line not recommended as details need to be clarified as information sent by e-mail incorrect (Experian purported to be problem).
