The staff are amazing. The Royal is undergoing a major refurb, but no inconvenience caused with the cleaner's doing an exceptional job. I was booked in for bed and breakfast of which the breakfast was well worth the money and the service again excellent.

We stayed in a newly renovated sea view small double room and it was lovely. Little touches like the sensor light in the bathroom so no need to put a big light on during the night or the little reading lights each side of the side of the bed was nice. Breakfast had an amazing selection. Wish we could have stayed an extra night or 2.

Love this place especially with renovations and new restaurant. However do not put people in rooms directly over the ballroom (first floor, east wing), The live entertainment goes on until 11pm and literally shakes the room!

This property has gone a long way since I last visited Whitby in terms of Bar and Restaurant. Food, service and Staff are excellent! The owners still have a lot of work to do with the accommodation, but its got to be a big work in progress. The room was clean however it was tired and dated.

This hotel is under renovation so if you get a modernised room, it's probably a good value stay. But paying over £100 for a room that appears to have not been touched by a paint brush since the 1980s is a bit hard to swallow. Staff all great and the bar is lovely, and obviously great views and great location.

Great old fashioned hotel. We had a newly refurbished room was excellent. The breakfast was great. Pity the lift isn’t working I do think people should be made aware of this and all the building work that is going on. For some elderly people this is a main concern For the two nights we were there we had a great time and were made very welcome
