Lovely hotel the staff were amazing especially Phil behind the bar although the hotel is being refurbished it caused the minimum inconvenience however if you have mobility issues at the moment the lift is not in service so bear that in mind when booking

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.

Location and Staff very good

The rooms are a little shabby, although they are refurbishing- hence no lift at present. The staff were very helpful, rooms clean and had everything we needed. Good location at the top of the steps by the whalebones, parking is a headache as on street parking is expensive from March to end October, hotel car park was full.

Refurbished rooms. A manager that wants to make it successful and staff that respect the manager as he does to them. You can see the the relationship between manager and staff are all wanting to make this New Royal refurbishment a success.
