    The trouble is these days, is that people expect the sort of ultra modern finishes etc that they find abroad. To the people saying it needs investment, you can plainly see its getting it> Even small things like the old fashioned keys and large fobs, compared to the new card lock systems. Just think how much it would be to change all the locks on every room, well it would need doors replacing so there weren't patches on doors, and that would be just changing a minor thing. It's a bit like the old holiday camps, they are a thing of their time and people need to see the character in them

    Nice one Deano!... I must admit mate... That some of my family stayed at the Grand Hotel in Scarborough about ten years ago... And they weren't happy with the state of the building at all... It was in a very tired state... And obviously had been neglected over a period of many years... It's such a shame when hotel owners take their guests money... And let the building get into a shocking state of disrepair... But i'm quite shocked and surprised to see that the Grand Hotel Scarborough has actually had many of it's previous problems rectified... Is it the perfect hotel?... No of course not... Is it perfectly acceptable and pleasant to the vast majority of holidaying guests?... Yes absolutely!... Apart from the dirty windows in your room... And those pesky Seagulls making a nuisance of themselves on the Terrace... The rest of the hotel looked to be pretty decent mate... And for just £39.00 per night it's an absolute bargain... Especially as it also includes evening entertainment provided... Within the cost of the rooms... I've actually stayed at some Travelodge's that have genuinely cost more than that... And it was for just a basic small room with a Bed... Bathroom... T.V... Writing Desk... Tea & Coffee Making Facilities... Mirror... Wardrobe... And that's about it!. I think that there are some ways in tackling some of the Seagull problems at the Grand Hotel... For instance... There are plastic strips with pointed plastic stems that prevent birds from perching on roofs and window ledges... There are also things like decoy Raptor Birds of Prey... Which can be deployed on various locations on and around the hotel... Raptors like... Peregrine Falcons... Harris Hawks... Osprey's... Kestrels... etc... As well as having real audio of these Raptors... Simply to scare away the Seagulls... Also it would probably be advisable to have a local Falconer bring in some of their real Raptors periodically... Just to keep those annoying Seagulls in check... I'm sure that the Falconer would be happy at taking as part payment for their services... Dinner at the Grand Hotel for two people twice every month... Also the Grand Hotel could inquire about getting a see through covering for their entire Terraced area... Which would prevent Seagulls from using it as a toilet... Then their hotel guests could actually enjoy sitting out on the Terrace on a nice warm Summers day... And not have to worry about having themselves or their drinks... Having an unwanted deposit... Courtesy of these swarming fearless Seagulls... Many thanks for the video Deano... It really was a very pleasant eye opener my friend... All the best... Cheers mate. 🍺

    That was a good, fair, honest review Deano....it's a lovely old building...as most of the Britannia Hotels seem to be...takes a lot of money to upkeep them...looks like they are starting to decorate finally going by the fresh paint on the walls.! the staircase was beautiful. The entertainment is what it is i guess...i would have gone to film night...couple of decent old films to look back on lol....and don't mind a bit of Abba either for a fun night...and was that a night of Journey (Don't sop Believing)? or a rock night ? It looks like they are trying to improve the hotel so good on them x

    Back in its day it was the biggest and grandest hotel in Europe. I can imagine it being rocking back in the 20’s. Imagining flapper girls, big bands and tops n tails being the standard. Kinda the savoy of the north. Its history is pretty interesting as is the aquarium that was just under the bridge underground. Now only remaining as an underground car park with the odour of piss.

    My mind must be bad but when you opened the closet I thought I saw smallish handcuffs and my first thought was why is a hotel offering handcuffs in a bedroom🤔🤣😂.I'm out of the loop but thought you would pay£49.99for a room but that would include breakfast. The hotel could put a cover over half of the terrace to help with the🕊️ problem.If they put some investment into the hotel by naybe making a few rooms bigger and charging accordingly it could be a lovely hotel. Is there parking available?I don't think hotels these days should be charging for wifi when it's pretty much used and required by everyone.

    They did it up a little bit when they were getting all the bad reviews that’s why it had such a bad reputation they had to do something. We waited in a queue for 3 hrs once to check in to be put in a basement room only a shower no air con it was the worst nights sleep we’ve ever had and my lass said, “I will never stay there again!” Which we haven’t since.

    Me and my assistance dog stayed there in 2018 (ish). £30 for the room for one night. My only complaint was the long queue to check-in. Like you, I'd stay there again. It's also a short distance from the railway station and if you plan it in advance you can hire a full-size mobility scooter from the shop across the road from the hotel.

The flats opposite looked condemned, the fire doors to the bar were wide open, full of locals smoking weed, barbed wire and an Alsation patrolling outside our window, middle of Summer and the heating was stuck on. All in all the Grand seems like The Ritz in comparison ! 👍

    HAving tried Britannia Breakfasts, they are absolutely awful now. The buffet looked OK, but the food was all cold. When asked if they could prodce some fresh or reheat what I selected, they reheated it. It was still awful. The only time to have breakfsat is when they have coach parties in. I see that the price is £34 for a night. It's just a pity that the foos wa a disappointment. When I first stayed at a Britania, the meals were cooked to order, rather than the common thing now with a hot and cold buffet. Unless you go and eat when they open, you will be disappointed.
