The Rowntree Lodge is extremely great value for money. The hotel is in a good location with sea views. Our room was upgraded, which was a lovely surprise, and I have to say, pleasantly surprised at that. The room was very large, with a lounge area and lovely comfy bed, the bathroom was a very good size and what's more the whole room, basically the whole hotel was so clean, which helps make you feel just much more positive about a place. I'd say it was the cleanest hotel we've stayed in, in Scarborough. And last but not least, the staff are all very friendly and make you feel very welcome. Thank you to all involved.

We had a twin room on the top floor and it was very spacious. It was clean and quiet. Comfortable beds. The location was perfect for us, going to an event at the Spa. Also the waterfront is in good walking distance and as well for the walking trail along the coast. Check in via lockbox. Parking was possible on the street. We got great instructions. Thank you

We haven't really met our host, stayed 3 nights, but arrived late. During the day the busy café downstairs is running and we chose not to have breakfast. The room wasn't serviced during our stay, so we asked the cleaner in the hallway for more coffee and milk a couple of times. Some hooks and maybe a mat by the door for jackets and dirty shoes would be handy. No complaints really. We enjoyed the stay.

Really good central location; free car parking; spacious and clean room; and delicious breakfast! We left during the day and returned and didn't struggle to get parked on either occasion. You can easily walk to the sea-front from the hotel in less than 5 minutes.

We happened to visit on a REALLY hot day so it was obviously very warm indoors. There was a small fan in the room but no air-con, which we weren't expecting so that didn't bother us too much. A small fridge would also be nice (our chocolate melted haha). These are very much non-issues though, it would've been the same temperature if we were at home, everything else was perfect!

The hotel was spotlessly clean, beautiful pictures everywhere. Lovely clean deep soft plain carpets. Claire the owner greeted us on arrival and showed us to our room. Also gave us parking disc,s but we parked a few streets up so didn't need them. It was also lovely and quiet even though there was plenty of guests. Never once heard a banging door or noise from anyone else which was lovely. Plenty of choice for breakfast and served within minutes. Lovely serving staff too. Also very spacious rooms. Only 3 floors too so not like climbing a mountain to get there. Also an amazing amount of plug sockets in room which you never see. You also just cross the road and walk down a little street that takes you to the sea front where you have a lovely walk into the main part of Scarborough.

Although our room was spacious, we were on the 3rd floor which is the last floor. was still lovely but far too hot. It was beautiful weather which won't of helped. They provide fans in each room which is also great. Just a little spoiler as couldn't sleep for heat. Otherwise all round fantastic!. When i booked it did say on booking.Com that we booked a room with sea view. But it wasn't. You can't see the sea from the hotel. Just a heads up on that for anyone who likes a sea view.

We picked this as it's just a 3-minute walk to the top of the Cliff Lift (funicular) down to the Spa, where we went for a 2-day festival. This was ideal for my partner's accessibility needs. The greeting was friendly, the room nice and big, with a super comfy king size bed (so wish I had a lie-in but we were so busy!), everything clean, decent selection of tea/coffee/biscuit refreshments in our room, good TV, plenty of wardrobe space if you need it, a desk and Wi-Fi (just as well because my partner needed to work on her laptop on what was meant to be a holiday!), and even a sofa with coffee table. Also, while we did not avail ourselves of the actual hotel breakfast, the cafe (basically the same place) did a really good omelette and avocado toast that me and my partner had respectively. On a food note, Ramshill Fisheries just round the corner has to be one of the best chippies in the country (everything's cooked in beef fat - oh lawdy!)

The rooms (or at least ours) are big, and there's only a plug-in heater (as far as I saw) so I expect winter visitors might get a bit chilly! The windows are old sash windows which do bang a bit when it's windy.

There was only 1 sugar-free cereal, Weetabix, which I don't like. Instead I had 2 different cooked breakfasts and they were both very good. The location was very good, with a short walk into the town or down to the beach. The room was spacious and clean, and the carpets all looked and felt clean and quite new. The staff were friendly and efficient.

You will have to move the car as there's time-limited disc parking in the vicinity. The bathroom is quite small, with a weak shower and not much room to hang the towels or put your washbasin or your toiletries etc. My main dislike was the fact that there's no socket anywhere near the dressing table, so we had to keep moving the heavy mirror over to the drawer unit the TV sits on (after moving the TV out of the way) and then plug the hairdryer or straighteners into the long extension lead used by the TV as it was also far, far away from the nearest plug socket and also the aerial socket. The room was obviously planned with the furniture being placed differently, and it doesn't really work in this format.

Very comfortable stay in a spacious room, complete with small sofa, kettle and tea and coffee. Bathroom was decorated in a modern way. Bed was comfortable. Location excellent - just 10 minutes walk downhill to Scarborough Spa (my main reason for staying here). Room key also opens the front door key - excellent for coming home late after attending at the Spa, for example. The owners were communicated very well - including responding to a request to check in early the night before my stay.

The carpet in my room had a few marks and stuck debris, but otherwise perfectly serviceable.

We were upgraded because the main hotel seemed closed apart from the cafe. It was very clean smart and up-to date. The first day breakfast was great all set out and very tasty .

The second day we were ignored at breakfast and had to go to the counter and request items no menu was given, just as well I repeated what I could remember the first day my friend just had toast and museli. They should had checked who had paid for breakfast in advance as when we left, the lady came out calling we did not have breakfast included that explained being ignored but really that behaviour is not acceptable either, it was embarrassing, we went back in and had to wait around to prove we were not thieves, what a shame as everything else was wonderful.

Stayed here for one night to attend a concert at the Scarborough Open Air. Location is great for walking to the Town Centre and the beach/front. Got a taxi to the concert venue (a couple of lovely ladies let us share theirs) as it is quite a walk but you can catch buses on the sea front. The hotel is lovely, decor great and exceptionally clean and in a good location. Breakfast had lots of choice even cater for Gluten Free and was lovely and fresh. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

From the second we arrived we were very happy We were met by the loveliest lady and owner Claire, before even seeing our room we were already very happy just from the friendliest and loveliest welcome. The room was lovely and felt homely. The bed was the best bed weve ever stayed in, to the point my partner even checked the bedding labels so we can get our own! 😂 All staff couldnt do enough and we loved that it was a close knit team who clearly cared about their guests. Thank you all so much x
