Editorial Summary

The creator visits The Royal Hotel in Scarborough to investigate its reputation as a highly negatively reviewed establishment. After noting numerous complaints regarding staff and cleanliness on TripAdvisor, the creator conducts a thorough inspection of the facilities. The room tour reveals several issues, including significant cobwebs, dampness, stained furniture, and dirty net curtains. However, the creator also notes a bright and clean bathroom, a functional bed, and a unique walk-in wardrobe. The video explores the grand, historic architecture of the building, highlighting its opulent staircases, chandeliers, and large ballroom, which contrast with some of the more dilapidated or spooky-feeling corridors. The creator also visits the leisure center, finding the indoor pool and sauna to be impressive features. Ultimately, the creator concludes that while certain parts of the hotel require better cleaning and maintenance, the building remains beautiful and grand. Given the low nightly rate of 47 pounds, the creator finds the experience to be better than expected, noting that the hotel is not as bad as the reviews suggest.

Creator's Key Takeaways

I absolutely love it. Look at these stairs.

The hotel itself is still absolutely beautiful. You can tell how grand it was back in the day and still how grand it is now.

The room in parts were quite dirty. They also need a feather duster in there to get those cobwebs out.

I actually think it's not that bad. I paid Β£47 a night.
