It was a fine place to stay in Whitby for a few days. Close to the centre (but up a big hill). The hotel is a bit faded and could do with some redecoration, but other than that it was perfectly fine. Staff very friendly and accomodating. Lovely view over the sea.

I have stayed here on many occasions, but during this trip was presented with ongoing works to all the inside rooms which impacted on access and egress from our sea view room.

The room itself was great. Plenty of space, clean and a lovely sea view. The down sides were the lift wasn't working so not great for disability problems. The single glazed wooden sash window suffered pretty badly with condensation which explains the lack of paint on the wood and the noise from outside wasn't filtered in any way at all. Not great when your above the exit door to the hotel bar where noisy smokers get louder as the evening progresses. I would stay again if I could pick my room before booking.

Royal hotel.
Fantastic stay at this hotel. Room was amazing, a bit dated but definitely made me say wow as I entered the room. Staff were very polite and professional. Restaurant staff were very friendly and offered very good advice on the menu.
