Booked early, hoping to get a good room, ended up on the top floor. Bathroom floor relaid like a mountain range, toilet cistern and lid cracked, shower support rail running with rust.

Very prominent Hotel in Whitby overlooking the bay and views to the Abbey. The architecture in the hotel is wonderful with fine plaster work and some stained glass windows, plenty of rooms to sit and take in the views, read, etc. Our room was at the rear of the hotel so the view was of the car park, but having...

We stayed in this hotel for one night and was long enough. The room window was falling apart, bare wires in the bathroom, mould on the ceiling in the bathroom, the built in wardrobe was filthy inside and finger prints all over mirror. Cleaning staff shouting at eight in the morning. The breakfast was terrible and so was the waiting... More

The hotel is dated and apparently the lounge / bar area is that same as 25 years ago. The food goes from poor to quite good ( seems to depend on how many clients are staying !! ) The bedrooms are a disgrace - ( room 239 single) The mattress was like sleeping on a bag of potatoes slightly relieved...
