One Night Stay
The Hotel Service was great, sadly the Hotel.com service was poor charging more for a room cancellation or date change than the original booking. The room was fine, some water damage on the bathroom and the bed wasn’t very comfortable at all.

I’d say this is a fairly basic hotel but that’s reflected in the price which is excellent value for Whitby. The main things were that the place was clean and the staff were very good. Would stay again.

The hotel was slightly shabby, but the location was good (and no need to walk up 199 steps to get there), and the staff were incredibly helpful. Would stay there again if I come back to Whitby.

Excellent Stay
Although the Hotel is starting to look its age The cleanliness and services were excellent. We ate and drank in the evening at the hotels bar which was excellent the gentleman running the bar was friendly and provided great service. Our room was very good with a super view over the sea and across to The Abbey. Will definitely stay again

Advertises parking this should be at best described as limited with less than 50 spaces. Everyone else pays for street parking. WiFi was unavailable in the evening. Property was old. Room was okay and the bathroom newly furnished and good. Views are stunning, limited food menu, food and drinks expensive however bar staff very friendly and food of a good standard.

Prior to our visit we were notified the lift was out of service. Our room was located on the top floor and although using the stairs was not a problem for my party we did meet a couple on the stairs one day who clearly were finding the stairs difficult.

Another good stay at the Royal
Staff friendly and helpful as usual. As the hotel is being renovated a bit more noise and dust about, but only to be expected. Unfortunately someone had abandoned their car not in a parking space, so was unable to park in allotted spot first night, not really hotels fault.

A last minute booking, nicely appointed, room only, large twin. As booked through your website did not know about parking at hotel. Bijou lift, very clunky, had been out of action prior w/e. Also water went off one morning.

Pleasantly surprised
It was a last minute booking so took what was available. We've stayed here before and noted its steady deterioration over the years. But this time we had an average room facing the rear, it was clean and comfortable, little evidence of the structural decay, maybe they've started to get onto it? Receptionist was spot-on, well done.
