Decided on a break to beautiful Whitby, and lined up a great weekend at the Royal. From the moment we arrived the staff (particularly Susan) couldn't have been more attentive. The restaurant was well conducted - food and Service excellent - made particularly enjoyable by Lubomir, our waiter. A good choice of starters, mains & desserts ensured satisfaction. The evening entertainment was enjoyable with quizzes, cabaret and dancing on that menu. Great value for money - would go again in an instant.

Stayed here from the 1st July for three days very lucky with the weather as a gorgeous weekend. The hotel was in a great position and staff were all very attentive. Downside for me was the lift very tiny and the carpet was in need of replacement. Preferred to walk up and down the stairs. The food was ok and the service in the restaurant was excellent. Our room was overlooking the sea an extra but well worth it. Good size and comfy beds a very old TV but guess this will be replaced soon.

We stayed for three nights. Self drive. Had a good time. The restaurant was run very efficiently, nothing was too much trouble. We paid for a sew view which was great, but as my only complaint with the hotel was the uncomfortable bed (springs sticking out). You may be better advised to upgrade on the bedroom instead. Take the walk along the sea front to Sandsend and enjoy a cherry scone with cream at the cafe at the end, lovely. Enjoy. We did.

Great location, catering excellent and room was nice, clean and tidy. Only minor criticism is that the walkway at the front of the hotel could do with a scrub. I didn’t do the tours so can’t comment on them (as I’d been to the area before and preferred to go walking, as there are so many great walks nearby. I would recommend this hotel.

We stayed at this hotel for 5 days. Great hotel, the staff were all very helpful. The food was ok, the breakfast was the best, it was sad they could not source the fish locally as the fish and chips were like something from Iceland’s. The cook needs to look into this, especially as it is a fishing town. The compere in the evening (Bradley Walsh lookalike) was great, very good entertainer. Our coach driver, Mike was very helpful and knowledgeable. On the whole, a great break away at Whitby. Recommended.
