I stay in The Royal Hotel Scarborough owned by Britannia Hotels and it's the Tenth consecutive year that Britannia has come bottom of the pile in the annual survey by consumer group Which?
It's received some very bad reviews on Tripadvisor and some bad press over the last 12 months, BUT is it as bad as some people say? Let's find out!
The chain has 61 hotels across Britain, including Blackpool’s Metropole and Norbreck Castle, and Scarborough’s Grand Hotel.

The rates have to be so low to be competitive in areas like Scarborough, Skeggy, Blackpool etc. I know there are a lot of rooms but I'd be surprised if there was much profit after staffing and building costs etc. You would think if they invested and sorted these places out that Britannia could charge more. Then again, it wouldn't turn the places into luxury, just a standard to be expected from a hotel.

@shutup2751 Год назад

not much they can do, most of these big hotels are from an era before package holidays abroad became a thing, they probably don't have enough customers anymore to do up the place

As a Scarborian, this doesn’t surprise me. There’s only one place even worse than this, and it’s the Grand Hotel that you show in the start of this video. Ironically, also run by Britannia. This town has suffered immensely at the cost of the council. The locals get it worse, believe me. There’s bugger all here for us and communities. They’re so focused on the holiday seasons, yet it baffles me how what used to be the two most prestigious hotels here, are now run by kids and the standards are barely passable, if at all.

Bah! Nothing! Not as bad as a hotel I stayed in near Cairo, where the concierge threw somebody's clothes out of a room and, without even changing the filthy bed sheets, gave it to me. He also showed me the toilet. Pushing in the door, we came face to face with a man standing on the toilet brim having a dump because there was no seat and the bowl was filled to the top with pee and turds. Or how about the Al Sewrah, Aleppo, where I killed a cockroach behind the bedroom sink to find it still there a year later? Or some hotel in Luxor, where what I first though was pretty floral wall paper were the many bloody remains of mosquitos squashed on the wall. The Royal Hotel? What's your problem? Luxury.

Honestly for 47 quid a night; that is an amazing hotel….even for an old hotel, it’s really not that bad…apart from the cobwebs (which are unacceptable) I really don’t see what’s so bad about it. However £12 for breakfast is expensive, and personally I think using the pool should be free…but okay; for £47 a night for a room, I guess it’s to be expected that not everything is included. Anyway; thank you for another great video Tim 🍻

I stayed here in 2021 and had a beautiful room and perfectly nice stay. Our only hiccup was we booked a luxury double but got a twin. We were offered a double room but it was about the size of a broom cupboard so we asked for the original allocation back and pushed the beds together. Other than that, couldn't fault it.

@loveyouforlife Год назад

I worked in this hotel about 17 years ago (2006), while I was a student at the University of Hull’s Scarborough Campus - which has now shut down. The hotel was under English Rose, not Britannia back then and was better, but still had some maintenance issues. The owner at the time, lived upstairs in a converted apartment on the top floor. She had died now and her son sold it on. I went back with my children in 2021 and stayed in one of the suites. It was so disappointing. Filthy windows, rotting window frames, French doors which did not close properly and had a gaping hole where the handle should have been. From afar, things looked good - but close up, it was absolutely dire. Housekeeping had not cleaned the room well at all, but the bed was clean and comfortable, I guess…

However, I have stayed there myself recently and it was very nice; the breakfast was worth the £12 fee as it was lovely. The best thing for me was , as we explored the halls, one of the sets of doors had the best handles I've ever seen - brass and emerald green glass - I've never seen anything like them they were lovely.

A good tip for if you're staying at a hotel with spiders is to leave an open block of cheese in the room, something with a strong odour, cheddar or Stilton. The smell will attract the spiders in the night and prevent them from drinking from the corners of your mouth while you sleep. Top tip: then in the morning the cheese can provide a cost effective replacement for brekfast or you can just leave it in the room when you check out as a thank you to room service.

From the outside, the architecture is exquisite, and inside - here and there - this place is stunningly beautiful.

With a morsel of effort, Britannia could be a byword for the very best in British hospitality. Instead, they just don't care.

@@Phantom0309 Exactly. Britannia doesn't own all these hotels because they were doing well, it owns them because they were doing badly and were relatively cheap. All these Grand hotels that Britannia own tend to have the same problem in common: they're in locations where the large volume of high end clientele that they were built for no longer exists. Now they have to survive as budget hotels that are really too "grand" for their meagre budgets. That being said. A lot of these hotels would be vastly improved if they just had better standards of cleanliness in the rooms. That's about the cheapest upgrade they could make.

The foyer looks stunning! Another beautiful old building slowly decaying but the cost to restore it would be insane.

@thornbird6768 Год назад

The money spent on fancy Christmas Trees would have been better spent on the rooms ! That said the interior of the hotel has some really nice features 👍🏻 as usual the public areas !

You really need to do the Clifton hotel in Scarborough. I think personally it makes the royal and the grand look like Hilton hotels as you get a idea of how bad that one is by just walking in the front door and no stunning foyer like this one . Also you will have done all 3 brittania owned hotels in Scarborough

Your comment about the trouser press made me laugh out loud and reminded me of Alan Partridge 🤣

Thanks for showing us round these lovely grand hotels , they would of been amazing in the old days , I’ve stayed in far worse hotels than this one and payed a lot more , it’s a good price but clearly needs cleaning and updating in some areas , the Christmas decs look lovely although I would say a bit early 😊

You have to admit Tim that the Britannia chain of hotels are at least consistent! Everything looks grand from the entrance and the ground floor reception/eating areas but as you make the ascent wow does everything start to go downhill. I have only ever stayed in Britannia hotels with a coach travel company. One of the problems for these sort of old big properties is that they don't really make any money from providing the accommodation and meals from coach trips. So what happens? No money left over to do the cleaning and repairs. Barely enough to cover wages. The property virtually stands still in time. Will anything change. Tim will tell. (Sorry time will tell).

The grandeur of these hotels just makes Britannia's crimes even more worrying.

I really enjoyed this, I've seen it many times from the outside and never been in. The Christmas decorations looked amazing. I wish they had kept to the same patterned carpet throughout and more muted natural tones of pain rather than the very modern bright garish blue. The cleanliness and damp is an issue, needs addressing and I hope they do as it's such a gorgeous building.

This hotel looks fine. I like the Christmas decorations. And for £47, it seems like a good deal.

RU-vid referred me to your channel, glad they did, I’m subscribed. I’m going to check out your worst rated hotels playlist, one question have you been to the famous hotel in Torquay from the Hotel TV show. Greetings from 🇨🇦.

hey thanks Kevin

I worked at this hotel roughly 20 years ago. It was owned by a local family. The artwork and carpets are still the same.

@dylpriest7140 Год назад

just watched this after staying here, when he was walking down the corridor with the door open i thought i recognised it, then he turned the camera round and the room was 330. We stayed in that room and it sent chills down my spine seeing the door being open, very creepy.

Cant be worse than the state of the rooms at the Ullswater Hotel in Bournemouth.

@scottsworld Год назад

I love it!! Stained curtains, dirtyish windows, cobwebs, aren't a big deal when you get bags of character! The pool grotto was cool too. good video.

Looked alright to me Tim. especially for the price paid. The rates charged in these hotels are commercially suicidal, but the sheer amount of competition ensures rates cannot rise. Perhaps Britainnia's plan is to stay alive long enough to see off a lot of the competition thus allowing rates to rise and investment increase. All I know is I wouldn't want to be in this business. If Britannia weren't keeping the lights on in these creaking old buildings, who else would be?
