My wife and I stayed at The Grand back on 25/03/22 and we were so impressed that we just had to return. The staff are still helpful and friendly, the food is excellent and the room we stayed in was impressive. It was clean, comfy and had just been decorated and fitted with a power shower. The seagulls on our window sill could be quite noisy, but remember we are at the seaside! We paid £200 in total for bed, breakfast and evening meal, which I found to be excellent value. Disregard all the negative reports that you read about this hotel, make a visit and decide for yourself. Perhaps, if these people want 5 star, that will have to pay 5 star prices. We will certainly be visiting The Grand again.

When I arrived at the Granby Hotel in Scarborough I was a little disappointed, the exterior and communal areas looked neglected and tired. The reception and seating area reminded me of a working men's club! I booked in and I was given my room key. I stayed in room 5, a twin room, this was one of the few rooms available in Scarborough for that night. The room, bedding and towels were clean and smelt fresh. I settled down to watch TV but was distracted by another guests mobile phone - every time they received a message I could hear their phone buzzing and vibrating in the next room - this was a regular occurrence for over three hours. The walls are thin! Thankfully the buzzing stopped before I settled down to sleep. At around 11pm the hotel went quiet; it was peaceful and calm, I fell asleep easily. I woke once in the night aching as I sleep on my front or side and the mattress was firm, so I woke; hips, shoulders and lower back aching. Eventually I fell back to sleep and in the morning l woke feeling quite rested. The morning was similar to the evening you could hear other guests moving around, their conversations and them taking a shower! The bathroom in the twin room is small, but functional, the shower definitely wasn't a power shower! I would stay at The Granby Hotel again. There is parking to the side and rear of the hotel. The majority of the parking is pay and display with a couple of disabled bays (you still have to pay). If you have a Yorkshire County Council parking disc there is two hours free parking in bays at the side of the Granby Hotel. Yorkshire County Council parking discs are available from a number of retailers in the town and are free - they allow free parking in certain areas of the town for a limited time.

I have just returned home from a Majestic Holiday stay at the above venue .I am going to be honest the room we stayed in was clean had fresh linen on arrival ,comfortable and quiet .It is a old hotel but the communal areas were good ranging from a grand foyer to a clean friendly reception .I have no criticism of the breakfast food and range of items,it was good.On the other hand the main meals were stodgy no inventive bland overcooked limited vegetables chicken legs that looked that they had come off very old birds pork steaks rubbery chewy and tasteless .On the last night I had scampi which was very good this was the only one of the 4 night meals I had whicn was worth eating.The sad thing is for dessert that night was I had with tinned fruit the poorest custard I have ever eaten watery made with just hot water and limited custard powder that is my last memory of the restaurant. .The bar was good earlier in the week the gentleman and the mature lady were very good hardworking and pleasant .The prices in the bar very reasonable the Tetley beer well looked after.The only team member who disturbed me was on the last night was DICK TURPIN a scruffy abrupt man wearing a black hand kerchief as a mask, did he have Covid making the bar team look like farce this did not give that area a very professional look.On checkout Imust congratulate the reception team who all holiday were attentive polite and professional..I have been truthful about this venue

Date of stay 21/22nd September 2022…. Room 307. On first impressions nicely situated On approaching entrance dirty steps needs a good clean and the arms to velvet settees in reception shone with the dirt from hands. Booking in staff lovely BUT the lift was out of order and we were on third floor I have asthma my neighbour a walking problem ,we have a room with sea view, due to lift being out of order we were offered a 2nd floor room no view we took a look at room ,we declined due to smell in room so we struggle with original 3rd floor room, very large but unwelcoming.The view if we could have seen out of the window properly would have been nice also the window was nailed to the frame shut, No fire escape if needed then came the cobwebs not only in the corner of the ceiling but down the wall ,the wall lights were so dirty inside with dust it did not give the light it should have.head board thick with dust,bed side table thick dust on legs skirting board the same ,then came the shower mat you stand on for safety in the bath was so rank when I picked it up I drop it it was black with scum and black mould. I can’t even guess how long it’s been since it was cleaned. Obviously we called the manager ,he was very apologetic and offered another room, we had already seen another room and was not happy he offered to have our room cleaned while we were out which we agreed to unfortunately who ever he got to go to the room only changed the bath mat and sprayed what ever to make the room smell nice, but as I walked to the television I could see the cobwebs on the light still so again we checked and sure enough the room had not been cleaned, you cannot Blame the manager for this but the staff in housekeeping . The royal is a very prestigious building and is very lucrative for you business but you are letting the side down when you do not take care of the of its decor and clients, as we were not the only ones complaining in some bed rooms the plaster is coming off the wall through damp and smells ,the stairs and bannisters we filthy and I mean filthy,I would not be writing this review if I didn’t think I needed to ,Alex the manager was excellent ,but you won’t have him long if he has to put up with this many complaints, and on the good side, the bar and restaurant were good, again staff were great and we loved Anika who was in charge and she had time for the guests and their needs. The dining area would be at a loss with out her whilst in Whitby we got chatting with the locals and unfortunately the royal is know as a dive which is definitely not good for business. And on a closing point we were cheeky and worked how much you were making @£75 a person not a room a night so before this gold mind falls down around your ears do something get a cleaning team in there and do a deep clean and and builders to do repairs. Alex was kind enough to give us a discount on the first night charges. It’s a shame that the staff have to endure these complaints d

We usually stay at the Fairfax or the Feathers, but they were fully booked. We decided to try the Black Swan, probably shouldn’t have. The hotel is very tired despite the recent renovation - I can’t see where in the upper halls and bedrooms? The room was very basic. Bathrooms need updating, and in fact cleaning before guests arrive. We were very late to check in, despite this we had to ask for the bathroom to be cleaned as it had been forgotten about, hairs, old water marks and tide rings - grim! Though the lady member of staff did apologise profusely and was very nice at both dinner and check out - a real asset to the hotel. A room bug bare for me was nowhere to hang longer items like coats and dresses. The wardrobe was for shirts and folded trousers only. I had to hang long dresses on the light fitting. Also there is no shaver/toothbrush socket in the bathroom. Such little things that would make stays easier. We had dinner, which wasn’t bad for ‘pub grub’ but it wasn’t restaurant quality so to speak. I’d add that the gravy and sauce were more like water in both consistency and taste. Pies were great! Sadly we didn’t get to try the breakfast (which was included in our rate) as despite being a weekend, there are no room-service options and breakfasts aren’t available past 9.30am. So Sunday at 9.41am, we had to trot over to a nearby café to have breakfast. This was very annoying as you can imagine! I wouldn’t recommend staying here with so many better options locally. Which is a real shame, as the food used to be so much better and I would’ve expected after renovations the hotel would’ve seen an improvement. It has not. But, if you just want pub food and you’re in the area then maybe give it a go.
