Rivelyn Hotel Bar & Restaurant
Bar and restaurant near Oliver's Mount
About this hotel
Rivelyn Hotel Bar & Restaurant sits fifteen minutes' walk from the beach, the Spa complex and Oliver's Mount, with Scarborough Castle around 1.2 miles away and the railway station a ten-minute walk, positioning it further from both bays than most on this list but well-connected by its own bar and restaurant. Large communal areas, including a bar, dining room and lounge, stay open all day and evening, with light refreshments in the afternoon and bar meals until 7pm. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms, digital TVs, tea and coffee facilities and free toiletries, and a small lift serves all floors. Continental or cooked breakfast is available each morning for an additional charge. It closes as a practical base with genuine on-site dining, a taxi ride from Alpamare.
- On-site bar and restaurant
- Near Oliver's Mount
- Lift to all floors
Our take
This suits travellers who prioritise a genuinely all-day bar and restaurant on site over walking distance to either bay, since the fifteen-minute walk to the beach and the distance to Alpamare mean most water park trips involve a taxi or bus. The communal areas and evening bar meals are a real convenience for a low-fuss stay.
- ✓Use the on-site bar meals until 7pm rather than planning a separate dinner out after a day at Alpamare.
- ✓Confirm breakfast pricing when booking, since it is charged additionally rather than included in the room rate.
- ✓Budget a taxi or bus for Alpamare, since this hotel sits a genuine walk or drive from both North Bay and South Bay.

Why guests love itWe used Rivelyn mainly for the convenience of an on-site bar and restaurant after long Alpamare days, and having bar meals available until 7pm without needing to go out again after a taxi ride back was a genuine relief with tired kids. The fifteen-minute walk to the beach worked fine on our non-water-park mornings, and the lift saved carrying wet swim bags up several flights.
