Property and rooms quite dated, wallpaper peeling off walls in corridors, room was classed as a superior twin with sea view. The sash windows are very old and were filthy, had to wipe the window to try and see the views. On the plus the food was good, breakfast was overpriced. Staff were friendly, it’s in a great location, but hotel needs updating and rooms should be priced accordingly.

An old fashioned seaside hotel with huge charm. It’s in the middle of a renovation so some areas look a bit tired or are obviously being worked on. Room was clean and comfy and warm. Buffet breakfast was plentiful. And finally a toaster that properly toasts the bread!

Newly refurbished rooms are very good. The older rooms are wretchedly poor. Asking for an upgraded room is the best advice I can give. The location on Westcliffe is perfect and so convenient.

Didn’t realise had to reserve parking at hotel. There appeared to be several empty spaces but told they had been taken up. Stayed in newly renovated room which was lovely. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Downside was lift which was out of action to 3rd floor which we were on, also very small and old style lift. Hotel communal areas lovely and very nice breakfast. Position of hotel lovely overlooking Abby.

In its heyday the Royal must have been very sought after. While comfortably and good value, the decor is tired. The bath mat was very dirty and the shower screen did not sit on the bath top so water got into the bathroom floor.

I booked here as it had good reviews, and admittedly, was one of the few ok looking places I could find in central Whitby. The photos were deceiving however. While the staff and location were/is fantastic, the building itself and the rooms are in a much much needed state of a revamp, additionally the room we were in was quite dirty with dust on the towel rails, spiders on the roof, the bold in the bathroom was filthy, water f skate on the ceiling and cracking paint, the carpet.kooks like it hasn’t been steam cleaned in a number of years causing us to wear socks around the room. One half of the shower door was broken/immovable which meant we had to squeeze through the little gap made where the first half of the door opens. I was just able to stay here for the night, but would definitely not want to stay longer, or again, until the place has had an upgrade.

The hotel continues to improve. Breakfast was good and the staff were helpful. We didn’t like the failure to service the room after the first of our two nights. Things like milk sachets and toilet rolls were in need of replenishment. Parking on site is limited. The location is excellent. Each time we return we feel that the hotel is improving.

It was a bit shabby but very comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. I chose this hotel because it had car parking but this is not guaranteed. I imagine feeding meters on the street on a daily basis in summer would be a problem.
