On the West Cliffs with a lovely view of the sea and the harbour from our third floor room (the stairs were tiring after a long day!). Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice. For £3 the guest house can provide a parking card valid for four days in Whitby. We had no trouble parking in the street around the corner.

Property was excellent! Great location, clean, 3 pounds for parking. My only drawback, 5th floor with no lift. Very slow wifi. Otherwise, very good!

Great service from Riviera. I am especially appreciative of them accommodating my very late arrival and check in. The breakfast was also excellent - I highly recommend the smoked kipper if you want something new and different.

Whitby with that sea view.

Fabulous sea front location. Friendly staff. Payable permit parking close by. No lift, so lots of stairs to take into consideration. Overall, good cleanliness, practical room space with all the standard goodies supplied. Excellent breakfast selection also included.

A nice place to spend the night

Clean and friendly, a lot of stairs to access the rooms, but it is an option to have your bags carried up. Attic room had extremely low beam on one side of the double bed, which made room really not suitable for two adults staying in it. Lovely breakfast, with great views and easy access to the beach

A great customer service from the confirmation of the booking to leaving. All staff are friendly and helpful, the room was clean and spacious. I think it was the little touches such as Zed coming round at breakfast time checking in with everyone that they are ok.

Perfect, cosy and wonderful

It was amazing, the service and the personal touch was perfect. Really enjoyed the breakfast it’s such a good idea ordering it the night before to save wasting food. All questions were answered straight away and in a friendly way. The room was clean and it had a great selection of tea and coffee with biscuits too. For my first time to Whitby, it was the best place to stay.

A reasonably priced guest house which is very convenient for the beach walk and the town centre. Very good choices at breakfast. Parking is, maybe inevitably, a trial!

No lift ,so being on the third floor climbing all the stairs was not for anyone with disabilities or with walking difficulties (As my partner had ) . Fire escape procedure was not what i would expected from a five storey building .

Overall stay was amazing, expectations exceeded. Despite the many Guest Houses, Riviera far proclaims the rest! Highly recommend people consider staying here. Close range to the beach and harbour, your feet get plenty of exercise. 25,700 steps on our first day there.

Sea view room

I was informed about being on the 4th floor in advance of my stay, which was not a problem. However, the stairway is steep and has many doors to pass through. The room itself is compromised for height by being in the eaves but not a problem for a solo traveller. Would be a different review if I had been offered this"luxury" double room as a couple

Stay March 6th 2023 (2 night stay)

Great location across from the beach with sea view. Near to the town. A very clean and comfortable stay. Owners were there if needed, but never intrusive. Staff friendly. We can recommend the Garden Room restaurant at Sneaton Castle and the Trenchers Fish restaurant in Whitby. Both served very good food.
