The property has aged wonderfully and takes you back to old time Whitby. The stay at the royal hotel is unique in and of itself. The views it offers are outstanding; of the sea and the abbey atop the hill.

Once a grand hotel but sadly run down. Tiny room with flaking paint and old cheap furniture. Any view was hidden behind scaffolding outside the window. Receptionist at check in did try to apologise for the builders etc and was friendly. Love the location high above Whitby harbour.
