10/10 Exceptional

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

Great staff and service

Staff were all super friendly and welcoming. Room was spacious and comfortable, with a lovely view of the harbour and abbey. The bathroom could do with an update, and there were no complementary toiletries, but it was also spacious and the water pressure was great.

Cosseted at the Whitby Royal

Excellent friendly staff. Shame lift was out of order still and air con would have been nice on the third floor. Loved the quirky steam-punk themed decor. Will stay here again.

Would recommend especially if you like real ale

A great stay at the Royal. It’s an old hotel and some of the rooms are a bit tired, but are very comfortable, clean with everything you need. They have clearly heavily invested in the bar and restaurant area which is great and very tasteful! Also the bar has a superb and unrivalled range of real ales which something to suit every real ale drinker’s palate. The were super friendly and helpful. Great location and view across Whitby and across to the Abbey! Would definitely recommend a stay here!
Jon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is being renovated but that didnt spoil our stay the staff were all friendly and the bar and restaurant area were stunning. Stayed in room 108 which had two large windows with amazing views.
Angela, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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!
Walter, 1-night trip

Little sneaky getaway

It was great the room newly refurbished to a lovely standard . Hotel is under refurbishment so understandably some disruption. The bar area was nice and the staff were lovely. Didn’t eat there but the food looked good from what we saw. We will definitely come back.

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.
