Whitby Stay

We stayed for two nights at The Royal. We had a room which had just been refurbished and was lovely. The Hotel had been painted and renovated since there last year when we stayed one night. The staff were all kind, helpful and polite. We had breakfast which was really good. We will certainly stay again. The Royal is really close to Whitby Bay.

Superb last minute break

Booked a last minute trip to Whitby. Not at all disappointed with The Royal - great stay. Friendly , helpful staff who have great recommendations of what to do at night. Excellent breakfast - plenty of choice and tasty. Lovely bar. Our room was spacious, great bathroom and comfy beds. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be back again.

Location great, friendly & helpful staff, nice room but hot, unfortunately no lift during the refurbishment which means a lot of stairs to climb!
Jon, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Massive refurbishment program underway, which is still at an early stage. The Fat Badger bar is excellent. Rooms good. No lift. Breakfast was flat cold. Awful. Once the refurbs are complete, would go back.
