Consider trying the local dining options instead of hotel meals, as the food can be hit or miss, especially during busy hours.

i stayed at the royal for 2 nights with my partner and was genuinely surprised. the location was fantastic – very close to everything, making our exploring easy. the staff were lovely and always helpful, which made our stay more enjoyable. the sea view room we upgraded to was spectacular, especially seeing the abbey lit up in the evenings.

Charming Spot for a Short Getaway

A lovely stay with breathtaking views! The staff provided exceptional service, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Try the breakfast for delicious locally sourced options, but arrive early to ensure freshness. Parking in the rear is convenient, just be mindful of the limited spaces. Perfect for exploring Whitby.

Cozy and Convenient Stay!

Just spent a night here and it was a pretty good experience! The staff were super friendly and helped me with the car parking. My room was comfy, and the shower was massive, best I’ve had! Only downside was the room view wasn’t great—faced the loading bay. Breakfast was tasty too!

The sea view room was fantastic, and I loved sipping a hot chocolate while taking in the amazing views. The hotel's location made walking to the harbor a breeze.

The fully modernized room with a great sea view was perfect. Loved the outdoor seating areas and dog-friendly vibe.

pleasant stay with minor drawbacks

The bed in our room was exceptionally comfortable, providing a great night's rest during our two-night stay. The proximity to the beach allowed us to enjoy beautiful walks along the shore.

The check-in process could be streamlined for efficiency.

Be sure to inquire about local excursions. they offer fantastic opportunities to explore the charming surroundings easily.

The Royal Whitby offered breathtaking views of the coastline, and I especially enjoyed the charming decor in the dining area, which added a warm, inviting ambiance. The staff were incredibly accommodating and attentive to my needs as a senior traveler.

Improve lift accessibility for seniors.

an unforgettable stay at the royal hotel with breathtaking views from the room and amazing service during meals

Stunning sea view, lovely staff.

A cozy seaside getaway

I stayed for 5 nights in a nice double room with a sea view. The staff were super friendly, especially Aniko in the restaurant, who helped with my food allergy. The breakfast was really good! Only thing was the tiny lift – it felt a bit cramped when everyone tried to use it.

The stay at The Royal in Whitby had its ups and downs. The sea view from the room was absolutely stunning. Sipping coffee while gazing at the waves was a highlight. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience feel welcoming. the lift situation was frustrating. It was small and felt outdated, making it an inconvenience for those with mobility issues. Some areas of the hotel also looked worn and could definitely use some refurbishment. Breakfast options were decent, but I did notice some inconsistencies in the food quality during dinner. Cleanliness could have been improved, particularly in the corners of the bathroom. it was a mixed bag, but the location and views were hard to beat.

I truly enjoyed the elegant decor and the breathtaking views of Whitby Abbey from our room. The staff ensured our comfort and accessibility, making it a delightful stay for seniors like us. We felt at home.

Some areas need better maintenance for seniors' comfort.

Perfect for a getaway with friends

We had a lovely stay, the room was clean and surprisingly spacious. The buffet breakfast was amazing, they even made scrambled eggs on request, which was a nice touch.

It wasn’t cheap but still fine for what we got.

The location was fantastic, with stunning views of the sea. I truly enjoyed my time sipping coffee while watching the waves from the sea view room. The staff were warm and accommodating, making me feel welcomed throughout my stay.

Some areas of the hotel felt a bit dated.
