Poor customer service
I wouldn’t recommend staying at this hotel. Great location but our rooms were in a section of the hotel where construction was going on & we were woken every day at 07:30am. The staff were rude & inconsiderate when we complained.

Weekend break
Really friendly staff. Service with a smile. Hotel has a great view of the abbey and close to the centre. The hotel is going through a major refurb and we stayed in a refurbished room was was super clean. Breakfast was buffet style with eggs being cooked to your liking. We only stayed for a short break but would definitely return if visiting Whitby.

It was a fine place to stay in Whitby for a few days. Close to the centre (but up a big hill). The hotel is a bit faded and could do with some redecoration, but other than that it was perfectly fine. Staff very friendly and accomodating. Lovely view over the sea.

I have stayed here on many occasions, but during this trip was presented with ongoing works to all the inside rooms which impacted on access and egress from our sea view room.

6/10 Good

The room itself was great. Plenty of space, clean and a lovely sea view. The down sides were the lift wasn't working so not great for disability problems. The single glazed wooden sash window suffered pretty badly with condensation which explains the lack of paint on the wood and the noise from outside wasn't filtered in any way at all. Not great when your above the exit door to the hotel bar where noisy smokers get louder as the evening progresses. I would stay again if I could pick my room before booking.

Great location & friendly & helpful staff. No.mean feat on one of the busiest weekends of the year. Good breakfast & fab view of the Abbey, sea & estuary from our room. Couldn't have been better for our 1st Whitby Goth weekend.

Royal hotel.
Fantastic stay at this hotel. Room was amazing, a bit dated but definitely made me say wow as I entered the room. Staff were very polite and professional. Restaurant staff were very friendly and offered very good advice on the menu.

Room was tiny - lots of stain marks on the walls / ceiling Despite booking for B&B we were told we were room only so didn’t have breakfast - couldn’t check booking due to poor phone reception in Whitby therefore wasted money ! Room too hot and couldn’t turn radiator off And the worst part was the lift was broke !!! This should be in the website as we would not of booked here Will not return to this hotel !
