Nice hotel well situated

Major renovation work taking place so the place was in upheaval. Hopefully it will be all finished for the summer. Be sure to book parking when booking as it is very limited.

Lovely old hotel near centre of Whitby and on the seafront. Staff were friendly and welcoming. I had an updated room and it was very good with all modern amenities. I would recommend The Royal Hotel Whitby for amy staying in the town.

The property is undergoing an upgrade but still very nice and the restaurant was lovely staff very friendly and helpful. Although I did pay for an upgrade room so my elderly mother could be on the ground floor as the lift is out of order and although the room was nice there was scaffolding in front of the window and they where dirty so achieved the ground floor bit bit the view was spoilt.
