Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We stopped here for 2 nights and had a lovely stay. The room and building was clean and tidy throughout. Good amenities in the room - soaps, toiletries, tea, coffee, bottled water etc. We found the hosts fantastic. We booked a twin room but left a note for the owner to request a double room if it was possible. They were able to meet this need. My partner isn’t a ‘breakfast person’ and only had toast and water so the lady didn’t charge us for his breakfast. We thought this was very generous of her. The added extra of free parking was good too. Thank you for a lovely visit, we would certainly stay again.

The Leeway hotel is a small establishment on the Scarborough sea front. The rooms are clean and tidy and the beds are very comfortable. The wide choice of breakfast is delicious and I would definitely recommend the scrambled eggs. The host/owner is delightful and proved extremely helpful when we arrived on our motorbikes thoroughly soaked after driving through some heavy showers. The top floor of this three floor hotel are a bit of a hike so I would recommend a room on the lower ones if this is an issue. It's within easy walking distance from town centre if you fancy going out. There is no residents lounge that we could see. All in all a pleasurable experience and I would stay again.

We chose this hotel because of its reviews and location to the Open Air Theatre to see James. We were not disappointed and would recommend to family and friends. The actual bedrooms were old fashioned but spacious and included extras like a mini fridge and a fan(essential as it was very warm during our stay) Breakfast was staggered to comply with COVID protocol. The menu was placed in your bedroom so you could order straight away - plenty of choice and wonderfully delicious. We were certainly well looked after. We did lots of walking / sightseeing and did prefer the North Bay. A well deserved mini break.

felt it was very basic. I can't understand how it has such a high rating when it is just average really. The bed was quite small, hard & uncomfortable. There was no sound proofing, the walls were very thin & we could hear the next room talking on the phone & tv & general noise from upstairs & from outside when people were smoking. We thought there seemed to be a lot of 'work men' staying rather than holiday makers. Nothing wowed me about the place & even though our room had a sea view the windows suffered from bad condensation so deflected from it really. Breakfast was basic & there wasn't anything like cereal or yogurts or orange juice even. Parking was a bit stressful as we got blocked in by another guest & it would of been better if we were offered a parking permit for the roadside parking instead, we didnt even know about this until another guest told us. TV aerials need upgrading for digital as indoor ones are inadequate.
Plus sides - good location, very clean everywhere, well stocked tea tray in room.
Things to note - ask for a parking permit for the roadside parking rather than the carpark.

Response from Suzanna Veress, Owner at Leeway Hotel
Responded 4 Oct 2020
The hotel is basic at the moment as we have taken all things from rooms that are not easily cleanable between guests because of Covid. The building is 200 years old and is a grade II listed building. We can't change anything about the thickness of the walls. Sorry you could hear the other person on the phone. Sorry you didn't like our other guests ie. the workmen. They are a group of holiday makers enjoying themselves. As for the menu, it lists lots of options including orange juice, cereal, yoghurt, fruit salad, full english, eggs benedict, salmon and bagel with scrambled eggs etc. There was a menu in your room too to chose from and then you order at your table. You got what you ordered.

On Saturday 31st July'2020, We stayed at The Leeway Hotel Scarborough for one night.
We arrived just after 11am, check-in wasn't available until 2pm but Suzanna the owner allowed us to park on the drive from 11am which was really good.
After a lovely couple of hours along the seafront & a spot of lunch, the hubby & myself, returned to the Leeway Hotel to check-in.
We had room 6 which was on the 2nd floor. The room was lovely, spotless clean & lovely & cool as we had huge bay windows & the sides were both open. We had everything we needed from wardrobe, set of drawers, nice little table & 2 armchairs at the window plus all the usual tea,coffee, sugar etc with bottles of water & some hot chocolates. We also had a TV in the room.
Bathroom was lovely with a walk-in shower & some free toiletries on the shelf above sink.
The seaview was amazing from our window as to was the thunderstorm we had on the evening which included PINK lightening!!!!
Breakfast was a choice of hot or continental. We had to choose a timeslot though, due to the current situation within the country, only 3 tables at a time were allowed to dine.
We both opted for the full English which was accompanied with toast, fruit juice & tea/coffee.
A really lovely relaxing stay, only problem we had was,the bed had a very hard mattress which unfortunately for myself with scoliosis, had my back in agony the following morning & the hubby also said it was a hard mattress.
Don't let this put you off though, Suzanna does an amazing job & is very friendly & welcoming.
The hotel is on the North bay side so it's a good 20 minute walk to the south bay where all the attractions, shops etc are but it's worth it for the views.

Stayed at Leeway with friends for 4 nights. The welcome was warm and friendly. The room was spotless and newly refurbished .Great views of the coast and castle. Room facilities included tea and coffee making equipment, fridge for milk and water, both provided. Ensuite with shower (appeared newly fitted) with shower gel and liquid soap provided . Linen all excellent quality. Choices at breakfast were exceptional and standard of the ingredients high quality. Car paking a welcome bonus which enabled visits to points of interest without the worry of parking on return. Overall a relaxing enjoyable experience and would recommend and would return.

Stayed with my daughter in single rooms, both rooms were really nice and comfortable and had the bonus of a sea view. The rooms also had a plentiful stock of tea and coffee making facilities including a small fridge with loads of milk pots and also a bottle of water. Breakfast was very nice and there was a good choice available. The host was a lovely friendly lady and nothing was too much trouble for her. A great location on the cliff overlooking the North Bay meant everything was in quite easy walking distance. Over all a great place to stay and wouid highly recommend.

I originally booked this hotel via booking.com. I paid £90 for 2 people and this included breakfast which you could choose between full English or continental. The choice with continental was exceptional. I opted for the full English. This came with tea or coffee, toast with jam or marmalade and orange juice. The food was to a high standard in my opinion.
The room size was good for an accommodation of this type. The furniture was of good quality and not cheaply thrown together like you would normally find. The bed had memory foam mattress and was very comfortable indeed. There was even 3 sockets at the side of the bed. 1 was for the bedside lamp the second was running a mini fridge and the 3rd I used for my CPAP machine. There were 2 bottles of water in the fridge on arrival. The room had plenty of tea and coffee sachets and in addition to the kettle there was even a dolce gusto machine with pods!!
The bathroom was a good size and the shower had plenty of room.
The room and the whole of the hotel was exceptionally clean. The hotel is run by Susannah and her husband. Mainly Suzanne and she does all this while juggling a family and school runs.
I can't normally handle more than 2 nights in a b&b but here I could easily handle 5+ nights.
You can book this place with confidence and the owners will go above and beyond. Personally when I fancy a few nights in Scarborough on the future I will not even look elsewhere, I will definitely be booking this place!!

Beautiful property overlooking Scarborough’s North Bay. I booked 2 nights in a single en suite room which was small but perfectly formed. Everything in the room was thoughtfully provided including a fan, coffee machine, kettle and even a small fridge. I’ve never stayed in such a spotless hotel - everything was sparkling clean both in the room and the common areas.
Breakfast was also very good - I opted for continental which included toast, eggs, fresh fruit, yogurt and coffee/tea and juice. I’d forgotten my charger plug and the owner kindly lent me one for the duration of my stay. Had a perfect weekend and will most definitely be back!

Arrived at the Leeway and was immediately greeted by Suzanne, who said my room was ready. I had a single room on the top floor ,sea view it was lovely. Lovely cosy modern room with every thing in ,coffee maker, kettle, well stocked welcome tray, mini fridge complete with bottle water and fresh milk (I soon popped my Cocktail in for later)!The room smelt so fresh and clean, spotless. The guest house is at the quieter end and the outlook was to the sea and right along the bay, either way you have a great view.
Car parking was fine, room for 4 cars at the front but also plenty of parking when I arrived at busy time.
The guest house was quiet, no loud night-time revellers, comfy bed, fresh smelling linen. The bathroom was nice and modern spotless and a great shower.
Love all the personal pieces of wood sculpture making the place feel homely. Suzzanne took our breakfast orders and it wasn't long before my freshly cooked full breakfast arrived.
Would not hesitate to stay again, a fresh clean guest house with smiling host.
