Had a great stay at the Royal Whitby. Wonderful views of the abbey and harbour. Easy to walk to the harbour and the abbey if you want to try the 199 steps. Lots of great seafood restaurants nearby. A stop in the Whitby tour bus outside too, which will take you to the abbey if you don't fancy the walk

Hotel is currently undergoing renovations so it was quite noisy sometimes. Our room was dated but clean. Unfortunately we were right next to the corridor door so you could hear people going through and letting it bang morning and night. The breakfast was ok, buffet style full English, cereals, some fruit, pastries and toast. During the weekend they kept running out and not quick at keeping up with replacing items, the week days were better. We went out to eat every evening so cannot comment on the meals. Note there is very limited parking for such a big hotel which you have to prebook. We weren’t aware of that until a day or so before arriving so weren’t able to book. But i have a blue badge and was able to park for free outside on the road. It was very busy at and of sept so it must be impossible during the holiday season. Free wifi, tea and coffee in room, hairdryer, towels, extra pillows, hand wash and body wash in dispensers on wall. Most of the shops are on the east side, and there are lots of steps and slopes to get to them, or you can drive as there are plenty of disabled spaces. At the top of 199 steps is the abbey, which costs to go in, but you can use the cafe and shop for free. There is also an amazing micro brewery which was great in Sunday to sit outside and they had a band playing. Again you can drive round to this. The old town shops are lovely to walk around. There is a Whitby tour bus that travels around but we didn’t use, just saw it a lot!

Convenient location. Nice room and clean. Street parking which turned ou to be cheaper than the hotel's own parking of which there are very few spaces but this was not communicated at booking. We were lucky to find a space in front of the hotel so all turned out fine. Try and get a sea view rather than the car park! Reception area dark and tired and rather small. Staff not over friendly!

The hotel was in mid refurbishment when we were there. The hotel bar (Fat Badger) was the best hotel bar I've seen. Be aware that the "cosy double room " option was obviously a single room with a double bed, which was up to the wall at one side, and would be unsuitable for older couples or people with mobility issues. Great views, but a climb from the harbour.

This was our second stay there in a week. The first two nights were great with a decent room with a sea view (room 242) as paid for. We decided to therefore go back again later in the week and although we paid for the same type of room we were stuck around the side of the hotel in a room (room 312) that was terribly musty- to a point that when you entered it was hard to breath. The decor in the bathroom was horrible and the shower was so small that it was impossible to move. This room is certainly of a poor standard and I think dangerous from a health perspective for elderly people. Was due to stay 2 nights but left after 1 as we couldn’t stay there any longer…

I didn't connect to the wifi do can't comment on that but the hotel is ifeally placed for the beach and shops but with quite a few steps and a slope down (there is a lift down to the sea front). Unfortunately, our room overlooked the car park but i imagine there are rooms that look out over the estuary and the piers

It’s a building site at present - wish it was made more obvious at time of booking. Room damp with damaged walls. No toiletries. Limited toilet paper! Parking useless - fire alarms went off in middle of night two nights running. Fed up. Would ask for a refund but can’t be bothered. Still, the views from hotel were nice.
