My partner and i stayed at the Beiderbecke's over Easter 2007. The hotel itself is very plesant, clean and well furnished. The staff on arrival were very friendly and professional. Our first room was very noisy as it was above the kitchen and nightclub so we had to listen to thumping music until the early hours of the morning, then the fans in the kitchen were switched on at about 6.00am so we had very little sleep on our first night. Luckily the hotel were able to move us the next day but they only had a smoking room available and not being a smoker i found the smell of stale smoke disgusting but prefered it to a sleepless night.

If you do stay in this hotel, make sure you request a room away from the nightclub and the kitchen.

Finding the hotel was the first pleasant surprise - Tomtom had us in the car park very easily.
Arrived a bit early, and with a sore throat, but cold Guiness & carbonara sorted me out.
Hotel front is a little underwhelming at first, but grows on you.
Room was a little bigger than normal, on the second floor, but Scarborough is quiet in Feb & we never heard the terrifying Red Bar spoken of elsewhere.
Location is excellent for country mice such as us. The shops are just yards away so you can pop back with your bags at lunchtime and you're close to the seafront too.
Breakfast was excellent, but hotel quiet so no one in the restaurant of an evening so we ate out too (nearby Peppers is excellent & "Restaurant George Michael" (no relation) is good & characterful) as the main eating street is next door.
We were pleased with the hotel, until we popped in to (our intended choice) The Grand for a drink.
Oh dear me. It's like God's Waiting Room in there. Bashed tooth alcoholics smoke furiously while local street urchins run into the building & chase round the decayed ruin. We returned to our hotel without having the drink & were suitably grateful to them for sparing us a weekend in The Grand.
So, get yourself to Scarborough. There are some fine pubs (& a bracing seafront walk to the one at Scalby Mills), great shops & you'll eat well. The town is a bit faded-glamour but I kinda like that in moderation.
Beiderbecke's is a great base for exploring or staying holed up in for a rest.

Lovely hotel. We had a suite room 217. It was really big, plenty of room for 4 of us. My main comment is the cleanliness of the hotel, especially the room.

I can only describe this hotel as Brilliant.

We have previously managed to pick 2 other hotels that were voted Scotlands (Montgreenan) and Irelands (Hunters hotel) hotel of he year after we stayed there, so we know our hotels!

The hotel is not much to look at from the outside but do not be fooled The Red bar is noisy but but this is easily remidied by asking for a room on the second floor away from the bar.

We did not use this public bar at all and preferred to use the wonderfully cosy residents and diners bar which is much more in keeping with the lovely old interior.

We went for a suite (Room 217) which I have to say is probably the nicest hotel room I have ever stayed in. This was not just due to the cleanliness, the decor, the size of the room, the 5 windows, the view, the large cosy bed or the big fluffy towels but because they had managed to get it all so right. A deffinite 10 out of 10 for housekeeping.

We had dinner in the restaurant which was wonderful even though we turned up tired and weary at 9.30pm, we were brilliantly served and not rushed at all. The food was reminicent of meals I have enjoyed at Amberley Castle in Sussex and the Mermaid in Rye.

The staff were down to earth and lovely. The service could not be faulted even though they were obvously very busy.

A note to the last reviewer........They give you a credit room card so you can hang on to it for drinks etc. You don't hand it in!

I want to stay again and hopefully we will. A lovely treat and all for £200.
