Good value, great location

Very impressive property. Currently undergoing renovation but that didn't really impact on my stay. Great location with terrific views. I had a small double which was fine for a solo traveller but would have been cramped for two. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Loved our stay at The Royal Hotel

Really enjoyed our stay. All the staff were lovely. They were having refurbishments done to the rooms. We stayed in one of the refurbished rooms and were very impressed with our stay. Would definitely stay here again. The hotel had great views and was a short walk away from the shops.

Kevin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our room was lovely and newly refurbished, however there was a lot of building work happening at the hotel. I was made aware before our visit that the lift was not working and there were plenty of staff on hand to help with luggage.

Maxine, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely but could be better.

Enjoyed our trip, breakfast was lovely, but should offer more over bar food choice for snacks during the day. I think when you pay 600.00 the parking in there tarmac area carpark should be free. Our room seemed cold unfortunately.

Elizabeth, 2-night trip

Whitby ticked off our bucket list

Bathroom was virtually spotless. Hotel being renovated so the room probably used ony a few times prior to us. Ignore the workmen, and you will have a wonderful stay in this location, overlooking the Abbey. Few minutes from the centre but up hill. Will go back when renovation is complete, and lift working, and full air conditioning in place.
