Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Haleina. Great location with wonderful views over the North Bay. Choice of breakfast was excellent, although a wider choice of pastries would enhance the continental breakfast.

The only B&B to stay at in Scarborough as far as we’re concerned. If i could rate it higher i would. The Penthouse is amazing in every respect and worth every penny.

Superb, Excellent.
This is a fantastic hotel which me and my wife would thoroughly recommend. Owner Jill could not have been more helpful, with a room upgrade. Cooked Breakfast was hot, and the fruit selection first class. You would find some of the other hotels more expensive and offer you a lot less. This hotel was first class all the way.

No Surprises
We did have the smallest room in
The hotel but were aware of this on booking, it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with all you would require for a short weekend stay and excellent value for money at a peak time.

Enjoyable stay
Booked one night in a small room (room 10). Very comfortable bed and spotlessly clean. Everything you could want in the room. Space was a bit tight but adequate for one night for a couple. Breakfast was excellent. Would recommend.

Very happy
A hotter more powerful shower would have been better (maybe user incompetence) but i'll still rate as a 5* as well the cleanliness, for me the plus was the b&b operate a hassle free leave you alone to enjoy your stay attitude, but the staff were quickly there when you needed them to be. Neil.

Great location for cricket, Open Air Theatre and Cliff top walks. Friendly welcome. Small but well decorated room. Comfortable bed. Delicious breakfast choice. Great artwork on walls. Handy for shops and restaurants (within 10 minute walk). Spotlessly clean.

The Helaina
We had a perfect one night stay at The Helaina, it went so fast though and we were sorry to leave the following morning. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean with nice modern decoration. Very nice comfortable bed. The sea view was amazing. Breakfast was delicious, everything cooked to perfection. We would love to stay here again one day soon. Thank you Lucky for making us feel so welcome, and for the great service 👍😊

Excellent hotel and friendly professional staff
We had a wonderful stay. The accommodation is excellent, the staff are friendly and professional and the breakfast was delicious.
The only negative (and this was our fault for not checking) we were on the top floor and with a heart condition it was a bit of a task getting to the room. It’s not a criticism of the hotel, I would just say to make sure if you have any health conditions you book a lower room. We will definitely return, just to a lower floor.
This really is an excellent hotel and would recommend it to anyone.

We had a lovely room on the top floor. This is up 6 small flights of stairs so not for those with mobility issues or heavy cases!
The Helainia is convenient for the cricket ground and serves a nice breakfast. Our only quibble was having one small bar of soap for both hand washing and use in the shower during our stay (we were told toiletries were not replenished). It was a bit of a struggle to make it last three days. It would have been nice to have separate bars or soap and shower gel in the room.
