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.

Mattress was awful, room was tired and old, had a funny weed like smell, I had to remove the hand soap bottle as the tab had not been removed. The San Miguel beer was terrible not smooth and crisp like it should be. It’s not worth £80 a night

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.

Disappointing accommodation
The bed was only accessible on one side instead of 2 because it was up against the wall. The hand wash ran out in the bathroom. We left the empty out but was never replaced. Only 6 hangers for a couple. We paid £465 for 3 nights bed and breakfast and was disappointed with the accommodation for the price. There were renovations taking place but a decorator sanding a door down at check in and out time is unacceptable. My sister in law paid the same price but got a bigger room but same situation with the bed. Car parking was a good setup.

We stayed in room 141 which was a great size room and a large window overlooking the sea. The temperature in the room was extremely warm and there is no way to adjust the temperature. In addition, the following morning whilst having a shower, the bath started to fill with stagnant water which smelt disgusting. This smell was extremely bad and although we went for breakfast (having paid £27), which was a bit much for a slice of toast and some fruit as we hardly eat anything due to not feeling well due to the room smell. We mentioned this to reception on checking out to be told they will get maintenance to take a look! Very poor customer service indeed.

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.
