Well appointed room, with comfy bed. Bathroom was modern and spotless. Host was friendly and very helpful. Convenient location for walking into town and exploring.
Nothing to dislike.
Close to all the attractions
Quite a few stairs to climb as there was no lift
Staff were welcoming and helpful, hotel modern and clean. Sea views were spectacular. Good breakfast.
Our room was small and felt cramped. There was no hairdryer which was inconvenient. I did report it but it was not replaced.
Very clean and well presented with lovely staff and a lovely breakfast 😊
Excellent all round!

Central to bays and town
A larger room would have been good
The location and room and friendly staff. Honesty bar is a great idea.

Breakfast was excellent.
Room was small and the shower was not powerful it was very slow running and took a long time to get hot waster.

Superb location with fantastic views from our room. Excellent breakfast freshly cooked.
Although able to buy parking permits from reception, parking was a bit of a pain at times.
Kleines, aber feines Bed&Breakfast. Sehr freundliche Begrüssung durch Enrico. Hatten ein schönes Zimmer mit Meerblick. Das Frühstück kann man individuell auswählen und wird mit Liebe zubereitet. Hat uns gut gefallen
Loved the room, comfortable bed and the shower was great
Nothing to dislike, It was great
great location for the beach, town and the open air theatre
Staff were lovely, friendly and extremely helpful. The Hotel itself was in a good spot and we had a lovely view from our bedroom. The parking disc made a big difference. We enjoyed using the comfortable lounge and noted the honesty bar.
The room itself was smaller than we expected for that price and for a 5*, we could barely get round the end of the bed. Having said that, it was clean and comfortable.
Greeted with a friendly welcome, our room was spotless and with everything you needed breakfast was exceptional served by friendly staff
I suppose parking could be a bit of an issue but we arrived early and got parked up okay
The breakfast was lovely. I had a different option each morning and my husband and I had no complaints. There was one small error with the eggs however this was rectified immediately.
The only thing I could say is that there was no mini fridge in the room. This would be ideal as I prefer bottled cold water especially in a morning. This would not deter me from staying in the helaina again. It is only a comment.
Great location Amazing breakfast Lovely staff Very clean and comfortable
Nice room , lovely sea view. Staff welcoming. Clean and nicely decorated
Noise carried, could hear people in next room
The breakfast was fabulous. Fresh cooked and served by a very friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for you. The Helaina is very near the shops and beach and is easily in walking distance if you are able to. Would definately stay there again. Great value for money.
Would just have liked to see a member of staff when I left at 10.30am. I did look but unfortunately couldn’t see anyone. It was only to have a word and say Thankyou though.
Location and not only that the hotel was spotless and the breakfast was amazing
Our bedroom was a little bit tight but I’m being picky
The breakfast was amazing plenty of choice . Made to feel very welcome. The hotel is very clean kept to a very high standard.
Only criticism is we could have done with more wardrobe space.
I liked everything the welcome when we arrived. The room was lovely with a on suite very comfortable bed. The hotel was very clean and smelt lovely. Breakfast was very nice with good variety and pick the time we want it. The hotel was placed in a good spot for both bays. Had no trouble with parking we got a permit to put in are car.
There was nothing I didn’t like
breakfast was great
nothing
Room was a bit small but clean and comfortable
The seagulls were very noisy this made getting a good night’s sleep very difficult
Well located and pleased we had superior room at the front therefore had lovely views of the North bay. Not sure we would have liked any other room as much.
Nothing particularly
everything was well presented and very clean

Fantastic breakfast Great location Friendly staff
Nothing, it was all good
Fantastic breakfast and the staff were very efficient and friendly.Room very clean.Hotel felt very safe.Lovely lounge with an honesty bar.Great views of the sea!
Our room was quite small.
De locatie en huiselijke sfeer vond ik fantastisch, de lounge/bar beneden om even heerlijk te zitten met uitzicht op de kust was heerlijk. Ontbijt was voortreffelijk!
Kamer was kleiner dan gedacht maar erg schoon, badkamer prima!
Location
The first meet and greet to leaving. 10/10. Well done
No complaints at all, all decor was good and fresh with a nice blend of modern in a traditional building, bed was very comfortable. We had a nice view of the bay. We didn’t have breakfast but my partner saw a breakfast and said it looked very good. We would certainly book the Helaina again if we were in the area needing accommodation.
Just one thing, we had a gentleman in the next room snoring at full volume lol.
Great breakfast, friendly staff and perfect location for the open air theatre

Location of Hotel was great,lovely sea view of North Beach.The room was very comfortable and Airy.The staff were very helpful,great selection of breakfast options,all of them very tasty. If you are looking for a Hotel in Scarborough I would highly recommend The Helaina.10/10
Parking can be a pain,I don't know if we were just unlucky with concerts at the time.Finding a spot when you go out for the day was awkward.

Wonderful position on top of the cliff at North Bay, Superb views. Very clean and well equipped.
Room much smaller than on the booking.com site. In fact it was small...full stop. Bathroom small as well, in fact although I'm tall but not 'bulky' I felt in danger of slipping in the shower as there was no ribbing on the 'floor' and no shower mat. For all that it was a very pleasant one-night stay in a wonderful location.
Breakfast excellent choice cooked to order pleasant surroundings nothing is to much trouble and served with a smile.
For me a larger shower as I am on the large size but very clean .
Very modern. Lovely comfortable bed. Great breakfast. View was fantastic.
Stairs but that’s an age thing.
Exalant
All clean and tidy
Was a really friendly welcome from Enrico and was really impressed with the lounge space, the location and the value for everything. It’s definitely a cosy feeling hotel and very accommodating as we were there for a wedding nearby. Highly recommend! Because of being right by sea we even watched the sunrise which was amazing!
There wasn’t a lot we didn’t like, however would have loved a bath option and maybe more space around bed. Bonus, less noisy keys hahahaha!
Every thing.
the room was ok but if i came back i would book a sea view next time
nothing
Great location, very clean, comfy bed and delicious breakfast

Nothing to dislike .
Very clean with comfortable beds,it has everything you need for a lovely stay. The breakfast was excellent,good quality and choice.
Nothing all good.
We couldn't fault anything. The Helaina was fantastic. Exceptional staff, delicious breakfast as well as spotlessly clean. A real home from home. Beautiful location overlooking the bay.
No negatives whatsoever
Very clean and staff couldn’t do enough for us would highly recommend
Nothing ever thing was perfect for us
We are well travelled and this is one of the best, if not the best, b &b we have ever stayed in. Excellent breakfast.

●Тяжело крутилась ручка в душе. ●Не очень хорошо организован завтрак, бронировали время завтрака на 9:10, одна женщина бегала и пыталась успеть всех обслужить, в итоге принесли еду только в 9:45. ●Очень плохая звукоизоляция, слышны все звуки соседей.
The breakfast was great and the room comfortable and the staff very helpful.
The view from room 4 was beautiful. All staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and the location was great - we could walk to everything we wanted.
Staff were excellent - so friendly and helpful. Room beautiful, super clean & comfy with lovely sea view literally just across the road. Breakfasts were outstandingly good - both choice, quality and the service. Hotel had a lovely sitting room at front. Whole hotel was immaculately clean. A very comfortable, relaxed atmosphere and we felt very well looked after.
We found nothing we disliked
Lovely staff, treated myself to the deluxe double room which was beautiful and spacious. Quality breakfast with plenty of choice. Have stayed at The Helaina a number of times and would highly recommend.
It was a beautiful old house
No life
Great room, comfortable bed, seatee is is a good addition.
4th floor. Up, lack of hooks to hang outdoor coats. No plug for razer or electric toothbrush.
Excellent service.
Lovely stay, spotlessly clean, spacious room decorated to a high standard, extremely comfortable bed and lovely soft bedding and comfy pillows, great power shower, well thought out with plenty of attention to detail, great breakfast, again to a very high standard, friendly host. Will definitely return and would highly recommend.

The room was large and spotless throughout, (room 9). Very good bathroom and shower. The breakfast was fantastic, with quality produce and choice. All the staff were polite and attentive.
Nothing really, our room was on the 4th floor, so you need to have a reasonable fitness level, as no lifts are available.
Very clean and well looked after

We loved staying at The Helaina B&B, which had superb sea views of the North Bay and is in a great location, just a 10-minute walk and you are in the centre. The Helaina is decorated to a high standard, and all the staff that we met during our stay were very friendly. We were room only but we would definitely try the breakfasts the next time we stay. Also, we were blessed with the good weather and it was so lovely to sit in the morning with a cuppa and take in the beautiful sea views. Parking is not an issue either as when you arrive at The Helaina, we paid £5 (good value) for a parking permit for the duration of your stay. This then allows you to park outside and in that particular surrounding zoned area, so we left the car there until we checked out as it was lovely to have a walkabout and breathe in the sea air! This was our first time staying at The Helaina, but we will definitely be going back as we had such a lovely stay, thank you. 😊

Quiet location and a good breakfast. Good parking and good sea view from window.
Room and ensuite were a little smaller than I expected.
The hotel is in a lovely position overlooking North Bay - the room was very comfortable and Enrico was very welcoming to us.
Nothing - it was a lovely hotel.
Excellent breakfast so good. Room very spacious, comfortable bed. The whole property was very clean and of a high quality. We were made to feel comfortable and very special. The view was spectacular.
There nothing I didn’t like. The only thing was no view from our room. But that was because I went for the larger room, and it was amazing.
Clean , comfortable , good location.
All good.
This is such a lovely property with beautiful rooms, a really great breakfast and excellent hosts.
The room was excellent with a fantastic view. It was very clean , comfy bed , overall an excellent room and facilities. The breakfast exceeded expectations and the choices were excellent every day. The manager was attentive and very friendly making our stay a great experience.
To be fair nothing in our opinion.
The only thing I’d say is our room was rather small for the price . Overall we had a lovely stay & will hopefully come again.
Nothing.
A hidden gem. Perfect location with wonderful views of the sea.

Location , very comfy bed
Nothing not to like
Stayed here some years ago and it was good then.i think it is better now .
Clean.warm.good food great staff.say no more
Location was fantastic. It was great to have a lounge with sea views to sit in. Good bed and bedding
The room was very complact, but we did book quite late so possibly the only room left We ran out of milk and asked for extra. We were told this would be provided once the room was cleaned. That seemed a bit odd. Might be better to have milk etc available
This was a lovely B&B and would highly recommend it. When we walked in it smelt amazing, the view was amazing and perfect to take a seat and look out at the beautiful views. It was an excellent location to walk to both beaches with plenty of places to eat nearby. Book it you won’t be disappointed.
Everything. Second time we have stayed here and will be back again.
Nothing. It is perfect for what we want.
The Helaina is the perfect stay. It is beautiful, clean and comfortable throughout and offers beautiful views of the area. Breakfast was delicious and of course served with a smile. All the staff are just so friendly and very welcoming.
