Good location and nice enough room but lacked attention to detail

It’s a very old , historical hotel , needs restoration and renovation. But the bar is nice .

A big, bright room with a great view of the harbour and the Abbey on the hill. This is an older-style hotel, not a modern concrete box. Lots of character features. I’d happily stay here again.

Lovely clean room & friendly staff

Lovely, welcoming hotel very friendly staff, answered any requests. Great location

Room was lovely with a nice sea view. Hotel itself was amazing and right where you want to be to stay in Whitby. Managed to get parked in the hotel car park which was a bonus. Perfect for a stay in Whitby.

The check in and car parking was good, the charge for parking was reasonable too. We had 2 rooms, 1 was luxurious and I'm sure was an upgrade. The other room was basic and not so good. It was dusty and had cobwebs, the shower wasn't good and the beds were noisy and uncomfortable. The breakfast was good.

Fabulous. Just the scaffolding spoiling views. Seems to be taking ages as we came last year and looks the same. Inside is beautiful. Outside needs attention. No air-conditioning but they left a fan so came in useful with the heat.

Very tired , everywhere , paint peeling from walls and windows, cracked bathroom sink . Suitcase scuffs on stair walls. Only toast ( soggy ) available for those not choosing a full English breakfast. Bar area only suitable for tall people , very raised seats. Parking very difficult , didn’t dare move car once parking found. No extra toiletries in bathroom . Permanent stain on bathroom floor behind toilet . This building could be magnificent with some TLC.

Newly refurbished rooms with modern up to date electric features, bed and shower room. Could not have asked for more

Another lovely stay in a great hotel.

All the staff were friendly and respectful also extremely helpful. Breakfast good, apart from the orange and apple juice which was warm ! Would have been a beautiful seaview, but unfortunately there was scaffolding up so couldn't see much of it.

The hotel is under renovation, but acceptable. We were not told about the need to reserve parking; you do need to do that at busy times. The attached restaurant was truly appalling the night we used it; avoid at all costs.

Room was clean but dated and worn. Very hot and no a/c. Bar area very nice and breakfast good. Staff amenable.

The hotel reception area is amazing but was so disappointed with the room. It was very dull and in need of a revamp. Parking is a nightmare.

Clean room & nice breakfast, friendly helpful staff.

Wonderful 3 night stay! Couldn’t fault the service or the room. Food is also excellent.

Brilliant weekend at the Royal whitby hotel

We stayed in one of the rooms that had been done up, and it was absolutely lovely. Great hotel in a perfect location, and all of the staff were really helpful. Great restaurant and breakfast

Didn’t like paying 15-50 for a breakfast and only small plates to put the food on Also the bath was painted but not properly only half painted
