“Palace Hill Hotel provides a distinctly personal experience, where hosts like Adam, Tip, and Baby Jasmine leave a lasting impression. Though the walls are thin, the location is prime for exploring Scarborough, and the recently refurbished, historic building offers modern comfort, including surprisingly powerful showers. The free parking permit is a practical perk.”

mixed feelings about location and service

clean roomuncomfortable greetingunwanted entry

the room was clean.

The man at the door. I felt judged upon arrival. when i paid, he looked my wife and me up and down before commenting on our presentability. furthermore, someone entered our room without our explicit permission and folded a blanket. it felt more like staying at a friend's house than a hotel.

The location is perfect, near the seafront. Free street parking behind the hotel made it easier. The owner gave a friendly welcome. (I REALLY needed that after the trip!) He also helped me with my suitcase to my room on the first floor.

Wonderful Hotel Experience

The room had beautiful decoration. I found it so fresh and clean. The size of the room, the Double Room, had spacious qualities. There was enough hanging space for clothes and drawers to put things away. They did top off the tea and coffee daily, a plus.

There was noise at times I experienced. It came from workers in the area.
