Initially, let’s start with the positive. A great location very close to the front and near the marina. I had the top floor room overlooking the harbour. Great! This hotel has great potential but has some work to do. Firstly, check in is a strict 15:00 to 16:00 window. If like me and used to stopping in hotels check in after 3pm is usual but this is strange. As it was for work I intended to arrive 3-6pm but was told no one is around after 4pm. It does say this on Booking.com but be aware this is a strict rule not a suggestion. Unfortunately despite having two windows only one opened and by 3”. Despite asking the host they had no fan and were unable to open the second window. Avoid in summer months if the weather outside is above 16c. The room was a good size but the beds were very low. Anyone with mobility impairment will struggle here. Breakfast is a strict 10:30 to 11:30 time. Don’t ask for coffee and orange juice as you have to pay for the additional drink! This is despite breakfast taking ages to arrive. Also this hotel doesn’t offer a cleaning service if staying for more than one night. I stayed for two and didn’t get any fresh towels or shampoo/gels. They say it’s on booking.com but was unable to locate this “rule” after making the point on check out. Finally - it took me a number of attempts to get a receipt/invoice for my stay. Hotels need to be aware that booking.com do not provide these. They are always obtained from the hotel. So I had to request through the site only for them to request from the hotel. In summary - far too strict timescales to make this a pleasant place to stay. If you have recently been released from prison and used to strict timescales this place is for you - otherwise I’d suggest staying elsewhere!!

Lovely spot and bar area are very nice. Our stay was anything but nice. Arrived 2.45, strict check in from 3-4pm. Cleaners had not released the rooms. These mysterious cleaners did not touch our room for our 3 night visit. Day 1 came back to wet towels where we left them and towel heated rail and heating were turned off. We asked for fresh towels and were told owner had no access to linen roon till 10 am. Breakfast served from 10.30 to 11.30. Guests have no order breakfast with non guests also ordering so can take ages to come. Food was excellent when it did come. No parking, no willingness to allow you to leave your luggage in room till check in. No hair drier or iron. No cleaning or fresh towels. View 8s lively from bedroom but I cannot give a good recommendation of this hotel. Owner can be inflexible and/or friendly.

Notice a lot of bad comments about the ivy in the reviews, I have just returned from a week in Scarborough and visited the ivy for a few beers in the afternoon most days , I found the owners and the staff really pleasant especially Alice who brought me most of my drinks, I only had one meal there on the Friday but it was nice, the drinks (Guinness /cruzcampo/ Birra Moretti were good pints , although like the rest of pubs on the front the prices have gone up I was paying £5.95 a pint , but I liked the position for views of the harbour and people watching, and the fact they played my kind of music outside while I worked on my sun tan , think they will remember who I am 🌞

We are currently staying here and I have to say customer service is not good. When we arrived the owner did show us to our room then proceeded to tell me they would not be serving breakfast on Monday morning as they were having work done in the kitchen. Talking.to the young girl behind the bar (its also a cafe and bar) they don't open on Mondays in the winter even for hotel guests breakfast. I do not like being lied to. To top it all breakfast on the other days is not served until 10.30. I am not happy and will never stay here again.

We experienced a family bereavement and reached out to the hotel to adjust our booking dates. We fully understood that the booking was non-refundable if canceled, but we weren’t asking for a refund—just a simple date change. Unfortunately, they refused, which felt quite disheartening. A little compassion in such circumstances wouldn’t have gone amiss.

Don’t bother. We ordered as a table of seven and waited an hour for basically nothing more than sandwiches and chips. 3 meals showed up and then after another 15 minute wait the others eventually showed up. We asked about the food numerous times as the children where becoming very restless to which they just kept saying they where chasing it up but there had been a lot of orders all at once . It’s a grey foggy day in September with a handful of people in the restaurant I’d hate to see them in August at the height of the season. When food did eventually arrive it was cold and we then had to ask more than once for cutlery and sauces. No apologies where given nor did they try to make a mends. Funnily enough no one ever came back to our table to make sure everything was ok. The coke was also flat. AVOID

I think there needs to be training done in customer service and hospitality

This is such a stunning little eatery/hotel and the owner pays great attention to detail regarding the satisfaction of their customers. We ordered an all day breakfast that comes with chips but I asked for no chips and ordered toast separately instead. Breakfast was delicious, compliments to the chef. A few minutes after being seated the owner came to me and said they will refund me for the toast because I didn't want the chips. They then made sure staff saw to our every need and got cutlery etc given to us. If we ever stay in Scarborough we will definitely stay here, the rooms look wonderful, the owner has some great deals and you can be assured they will look after you here. Thank You

After waiting over 45mins for our order, we asked why people who came in after us were getting their food. The manager appeared but wasn’t wanting to hear our complaint, we were told not to get angry, (which we weren’t), as she wanted to explain our order had not been passed to the cook. She was in no way apologetic for this. We left the cafe and will never return. One thinks she could do with some customer management training.

I Stopped off here for some food and wasn't disappointed. The staff were really friendly and helpful. There was a little wait between getting served my drink and the food, despite the place not being super busy. But.. it was worth the wait. The food was fresh and tasty, and a big portion. Maybe they don't have a large kitchen, but I'm sure the food was cooked fresh, so that's worth waiting for. I'll certainly be going back. I had read some other reviews and I couldn't fault the place myself. The place is perfectly situated next to the water and marina, so it's a great place to stop for a break and food.

We went here as a treat, our spare money is very precious to us, the place itself is lovely, well decorated and clean, apart from the toilets, the men's was certainly terrible, we sat down and our order was taken within 5 mins of us sitting down, 40 mins later someone actually realized we hadn't had our food and came over to us, God help them if they were actually busy, the new lad had forgotten to send the order upstairs, these things happen we are all human, we was offered a drink as an apology. About 10 mins later we got our meals, 2 x fish and chips and 1 breakfast bun, the breakfast bun looked ok and our son said it tasted ok, as for our fish and chips they were terrible, we are great believers in supporting a local business but when you produce fish and chips that looked and tasted like it had been bought in Aldi we will not be returning, the chips were supposed to be hand cut, I can gaurantee they were straight from a cheap pack and they tasted like it, as for the fish it was really thin, no taste and the batter was awful, if you are like us and don't have much spare spending money I would definitely avoid this place.

Entered a very cold room. Order took quickly by young lady and handed to a lad leaning over bar playing with his phone. Looked like he was the cook, no overalls and obviously going into kitchen handling food. Ordered the large haddock, it wasnt, it was small and a scampi. Ordered tea, the pot was filled to the brim and tried to squeeze the bags to get some taste, we did not. Asked girl what tea it was, she said "tetley". Worst tea ever. Just as we were finishing an older woman came from out back , go behind the bar in her nightclothes, with hood up, helped herself to a hot drink, has this establishment no hygiene training ? Please be aware of your practices as a drop in by the EHO would result in you being closed down.

Food was acceptable. Chicken burger was plain Iceland burger and chips. Scampi was nice. Unfortunately extremely overpriced and a bit dingy. Tea was cheap bags and tasteless, didn't even finish a cup let alone the pot. £3 for a small bottle of coke is unacceptable in my opinion. Also the only prices for drinks are for hot drinks and she stated that they were wrong. I would definitely not advise a visit and I won't be returning.

So this place is in a lovely building which is decorated very tastfully creating a nice atmosphere inside. The staff get top marks as they were very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately the price of the meals does not match with what they serve you. It was £10.95 for what is called Scarboroughs famous fish and chips as an adults portion. There was plenty of chips and what must have been a double serving of mushy peas however the fish was tiny, what I would expect to see in a kids special or something. The size of the fish as small as it was was also overwhelmed by the amount of batter around it. If I was rating the restaurant on staff and atmosphere alone I would have probably given it 5 stars but the food was just a let down unfortunately.

Called in Friday lunch time for a spot of fish and chips as the place appeared modern, upbeat and seemed a step up from sitting inside the chippy just to the side of this place. Was told we could help ourselves to any table which we did. Then after over 10 minutes of nobody even acknowledging we were there, I went to go politely ask if we could place our order. A further 5 minutes passed before anyone came to take the order which was as simple as 2 adults fish and chips and 2 children's. Still took over 15 minutes to arrive meaning we had been seated over 30 minutes before a scrap of food arrived at our table. That's a long time unless you are in a heaving restaurant and enjoying a great ambience. This was neither unfortunately. When the food arrived, whilst it wasn't bad, it also wasn't good enough to save this review. Maybe my expectations were too high but basics of reasonably prompt service in a restaurant that was at less than 50% capacity, should be a given, not to mention the sticky table that was in desperate need of a good degrease of some sort. This place I'm sure has its market, but we unfortunately won't be back.

Absolutely appalling place. Steer well clear of this one. Ordered four meals and drinks and waited for 45 minutes before asking why the order had not been delivered. The same waitress who took the order said it had been forgotten. Needless to say we had a refund walked out went 50 yards down the road to The Anchor fish & chip cafe and had a great meal. Will never cross the threshold of this place again. Found out after our failed visit that the Ivy House cafe only has a two star food hygiene rating and they don’t display that very prominently for obvious reasons

Ordered our food at the bar and werestaurant asked where we were seated.waited over 20 mins for food to our dismay the couple who were seated next table whom had been there for less than ten mins got food.waited another ten mins to be presented with OAP meals when we ordered full size meals and we have another 15 yrs to go till we qualify.turns out they gave our food to the next door table.5 mins later our proper portions arrived.all this confusion could of been avoided with table numbers.food was ok.filling and edible.

Looked lovely from the outside so thought we would go in for lunch. Once inside the chairs were ripped, table sticky. We ordered our food they brought half the orders out and we were still waiting 15 minutes later for some toast and a tuna sandwich so had to go and ask for them which they brought straight away so they must have just been sat there. There was no cutlery on any tables so had to ask for them and they didn’t give us any napkins. I asked for a water and was given a bottle without a glass to drink from. It seemed to be all young teenagers working, maybe to get it upto scratch they need to have someone working each day with experience of how to run a cafe as it’s getting run into the ground. The toilets were disgusting, paper all over the floor and no hand wash. I definitely would not recommend this place.

We did not stay at the Ivy this time BUT next time we are coming to town, this is the first place we are going to otry.<br/>We first had a drink break at the Ivy, we were impressed by the service given, the waitress really was working hard and nothing was to much trouble the drinks were very nice, far better than other offering from vendors near by, we returned later to have lunch. The food was very nice and presented very nicely, the service was great, the sun brolley was broken on our table and the waitress replaced it immediately, the waitress even noticed our little dog and asked if we needed any cold water for her, we did not hear of any complaints. And will certainly return again next time we are in town. <br/>.

Very disappointing! Looked really nice from the outside, was modern and inviting but was totally different inside! No wonder there was hardly anyone in there, just people using the toilet😂 We went for breakfast as we were all starving! We went and ordered more a less straight away. We waited for drinks for about 10 mins and then continued to wait for our food, we waited that long that my friends cup of tea had gone cold! When the food came the portions were tiny but the food was reasonably nice. The table was sticky, the chairs were falling apart and the cutlery was filthy!! We had to ask for cutlery as there were none on our table and when they came out they still had food on from the last people that ate with them! Won’t be going back!!

This place looks nice from the out side and as I walked in it look okay but as me and my family sat down and took a closer look at the place it got worse and worse ( would rate 0 stars) would NOT recommend going here.

We visited this cafe as it looked very appealing from the outside with a modern bar that we could see through the window. However when we got inside, tables were dirty, sticky and the chairs were just ruined. We ordered drinks including a cup of tea. When it arrived to the table, the crockery was filthy! I asked for a replacement which came promptly, only they were just as dirty and so I chose not to drink it. To make matters worse, one of the waitresses picked up the cup I had returned, rang it quickly under a frother on the coffee machine, than dried it on her matted and stained pinny! I could have vomited. She then proceeded to put it straight onto a customer's tea tray. Do not go to this cafe! It's such a shame as its location is great but their very poor hygiene would be enough to close them down.

Arrived as a party of five to an empty cafe and now we know why! It was freezing beyond believe to the point I don't think they should have even been open, no heating on apart from an electric heater behind the bar. After waiting 45 minutes for the food, and the only ones in the cafe as other customers walked in and walked back out the door. The food was half cold half hot on every dish. Only one burger was available when we ordered so another dish was chosen and when the burger arrived they failed to tell us there was no relish or salad either! Had to ask three times for forgotten drinks. Had to ask for napkins that never arrived so I helped myself from other tables. Had to ask for condiments. Had to ask for the missing toast & butter. Most of the food was left because of this, no checks back were made so we got up to leave. No staff on the cafe floor, hiding in the kitchen so we had to shout hello to get their attention to complain which was completely pointless, rude, argumentive, huffing and very inexperienced in the art of Hospitality. We were all sat there in our coats freezing, I was shaking so much the food kept falling off my fork. Other than that we had a great day on the beach, might get away with it in summer but we are locals and word of mouth is huge in this town.

Kebab is banging had pizza twice from there in past 2months thought I would give it another go. Looked as appetising as a tesco 59p one. Well undercooked was going to take it back but my oven was closer. Tasted great cooked. I'll stick with the kebabs

La loncha de filete y yum yum eran pequeños y mala relación calidad-precio. El té era una vergüenza, te ponían la leche y apenas la ponían. Lo recuperé por más leche y eran religiosos. No voy a volver.

Order a donner kebab which was how it should be, also ordered some chicken that was cooked fresh on the griddle, it was supposed to have some seasoning on but on getting home it was just plain cooked chicken stripe which was a real letdown especially has the chicken was very dry too. This was our first time so hopefully next time it will be better.
