Top Whitby Abbey Hotel Reviews

Royal Whitby

Royal Whitby

10/10 Excellent
"We had the family room for 3 adults. Room 211. Lovely room extra large king size bed, separate room with bunk beds. Really comfy. View over car park but didn't matter as we were out all day. The hotel has been refurbished since we last went so very modern in the bar / restaurant now. Views of the sea immediately as you go out the front of the hotel. 5 minute walk to the beach. You can use the hotel car park, at the rear of the hotel, which is £8 for 24 hours, from 11am on the day you arrive to 11am the next day. The reception give you a voucher which you use to scan into the pay machine when you leave. Helpful to know as hard to find places to park when busy. Love Whitby, we will be back 🙂"

8/10 Good
"I stayed in the Penthouse Apartment for a one night stay to meet up with friends. The apartment is well-laid out - perfect for a single-traveller or a couple. The location is right in the heart of the historic town centre, so all the recommended sights of Whitby are within walking distance to you. The train station is a 5-10 minute walk away across the swing bridge, so it's an ideal location if you're travelling via that method. The chatter from the pub on the corner across from the apartments can reach up to the penthouse, particularly after closing time. I stayed on a Saturday night in August with decent weather, so the town was busy that night and I would imagine that it would be a lot quieter during the week or out-of-season. Overall though, it wasn't too bad and I still managed to get to sleep - the bed was comfortable too, which helped! I would definitely recommend staying here. The check-in & out process is straightforward, with detailed communication from the proprietors. The apartment is smart & modern, with a decent sized shower and kitchen facilities if you wanted to eat in. I would look to stay here again."
