We stayed one night in this hotel, the initial impression was not good as the receptionist was busy elsewhere and only spent the minimum amount of time checking us in. The room was acceptable, clean with a small television, the shower was slow but hot and the bed was two singles pushed together, its also a fair walk to the... more

Stayed at the Ambassador for a couple of nights in mid June and found the hotel was very good. Don't come here if you're expecting The Ritz but if you want a good value, clean and friendly Hotel in an excellent position with a fabulous sea view then this is the place to come. Good clean rooms (not huge but... more

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel. We booked a front premier room which had an amazing sea view. The room was lovely and clean and had everything we required. We only stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and the breakfast was fantastic. It was a hot buffet, along with cereals, toast etc and all... more

We have stayed at the hotel many times over the last 8 years. This year we stayed ae 'usual' two days between Xmas and new year. We opt for the best room at the front with excellent view of beach and town/castle. We like - the convenient position to the town with the often bracing walk in to the town/beach... more

After reading some of the bad reports of this hotel, we were a bit apprehensive.....However I can report that we had a fantastic time, meals were great, and we were looked after so well by the waiter Steven, nothing too much trouble for him...The hotel is within easy reach of all the great places to visit, and Scarborough is great.....We... more

on arriving at the jewel of the yorkshire seaside resorts, the hotel commands a view to die for and a fasard to grace any hotel advertisement. sadly that's where it ends for the ambassador hotel. the tired and uncared for decor hardly even prepares you for the accommodation, which is the most unpleasant place i have had the misfortune to... more

Thank you for your feedback, if you had mentioned your housekeeping problems whilst you were here we would have rectified them immediately. With regard to the bathroomed being carpeted we are in the process of changing all the bathrooms that have carpet over to vinyl flooring as part of our ongoing refubishment.

stayed there with a party of friends cost me £3000 plus for my guests and the service was really poor if they have a function on there is no room service and you cant get served at the bar, they should invest in charm school for the reception staff and the owner of the hotel , shame for Scarborough to... more
