Historic hotel which is currently working hard to bring itself back to it's best with a really big re-vamp. Great location right above the famous whale bone arch, walking distance into Whitby itself was less than 5 mins. Good bar/restaurant and nice, clean and comfortable rooms.

Had a great stay at the Royal Whitby. Wonderful views of the abbey and harbour. Easy to walk to the harbour and the abbey if you want to try the 199 steps. Lots of great seafood restaurants nearby. A stop in the Whitby tour bus outside too, which will take you to the abbey if you don't fancy the walk

Great location with the cliff walk across the road. It was fine, but under renovation so the "view" I paid for was blocked and the lobby had some construction going on. The room was ok, but dated and a little musty. It's what you'd expect in an old seaside town - old motel that's being updated, but has seen better days

The property was a large old building, commanding on the cliff. There was a refurbishment underway, so some areas were better than others. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Our room was large, and comfortable. We didnt eat at the hotel, but the bar was very welcoming and the restaurant looked lovely. We had a very enjoyable stay.
