Me and my family spent a weekend at the Esplanade Hotel Whitby, and although it's not the plushest hotel in Whitby, they sure made up for it with their hospitality. The staff we second to none, always attentive and polite... Not perfect, but definitely worth it!

Made to feel welcome straight away, the keys are here come and go as you like and they saved us a parking space. Great with the kids, I found the youngest sitting in the private quaters watching TV. Breakfast at their other business on the sea front filled us for the day. They also made a vegetarian breakfast - the... More

The Esplanade hotel is the type of hotel that is good if you're not going to lounge around indoors... More
