Royal Hotel (Whitby)

A party of four of us have just stayed here for the weekend (Fri-Sun). We found the hotel room very good, with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in any hotel. We paid extra for a sea view which was lovely. The food was excellent, served very quickly and efficiently by friendly staff, who were really on the ball. We had plenty of hot water and the rooms were warm. The only criticism I have is the general shabby state of the building, which was a letdown. Should be refurbished.

We visited the Royal for tinsel & turkey. The hotel was ok but a little dated... Can't fault the staff, they were great especially in the dining room, they couldn’t do enough for us. The entertainment wasn’t up to much for a t & t visit only had two artists on over the 4 night stay. Over all we had a great time there. would definitely recommend The hotel.

We have been to the Royal before for short breaks but this time spent a week there .From the minute we arrived from checking in to getting the key to our room new we would enjoy .we paid extra for sea view and what a view we had of the Abbey the room itself was fantastic .we can’t fault this holiday from start to finish it was first class from food to service all round .worth a stay there would highly recommend whether it a short break or week will definitely be returning if not this year next.

Staying at the Royal Hotel has always been one of the things I want to do before I die and it didn't disappoint I absolutely loved it true there are areas that are a bit dated but it adds to the character. The waiting on staff couldn't be faulted (are they Polish) our waiter (Michael) couldn't have done more for us he was efficient to the letter we loved him. The cleaning staff were also super efficient you couldn't fault them. All in all a brilliant holiday thank you Shearings and Tony.

Just a brief note to thank all concerned for an excellent (and apparently no expense spared) Christmas. We changed Hotels at virtually the last minute as we have stayed at the Royal on numerous occasions but never at Christmas. What a good move it turned out to be! The staff (as ALWAYS) were most attentive and helpful and we would certainly wish to use room 3 when we next come to Whitby which will happen in the near future. Thank you ALL once again for making Christmas so enjoyable.

Went to the royal for a winter break all inclusive with Shearings, Monday to Friday. food and service was just excellent they couldn't do enough for you, especially our waiter Michael (polish with very good English)entertainment great with quick service at the bar (all free might I had).the bedrooms were a bit dated but very clean. Cleaners and reception very polite and helpful. Very friendly driver with tony. Would definitely go back to the royal with Shearings.

Just got back from Whitby and it was a great holiday. The hotel was clean, the staff were outstanding especially Regina who was very friendly and helpful and the food was great. The sea view rooms were great and I had the best night’s sleep I've had in years. Stuart the coach driver was a great chap who deserves lots of praise, he is a credit to Shearings. We also went to Goathland on the 840 Bus to Leeds, Pickering, Scarborough, Thornton Le Dale and Hemsley. Will definitely return again. :-)

Have just returned from a fantastic weekend at The Royal. Both my wife and I enjoyed our break very much. The hotel staff were very efficient and helpful. The meals, entertainment, room - in fact everything - was top notch. The hotel itself is very interesting and perfectly situated for the short walk into Whitby. Could not have been better. Well done.
