I've stayed there a few times and my view is that it's a bit in need of a bit of TLC but then a lot of sea side hotels are a bit like that. If you are going to stay in Whitby I think it's fine as  long as you are only there for breakfast, evening meal and a place to sleep. I've stayed in far worse. The Lyndene in Blackpool comes to mind. A hotel when the comfort and well being of the guests is more trouble than they can be bothered with. The fact that it's quiet is probably because it is used by coach holidays a lot and they all disappear about 9-9:30  and return about 1600-1700.

Loved this video. I'm staying at the hotel in August.
You had me laughing 😂

I make no apologies for my comment but any hotel that charges for parking for paying guests deserves to go bust, no excuse for milking money out of paying guests, it’s greed that’s all it is. Thankfully you can find free overnight parking.

I’m from Middlesbrough, used to love Whitby many years back and have many friends live there.

Tourism on a mass scale ruined it, I prefer to visit on a rainy or bad day in winter now.

Avoid all the summer chavs

Love this video, it's all the better for your friendly demeanor.
I fancy a short break so Whitby looks ideal. I'll bear this hotel in mind.

6 quid is a snapper. 2Wheeks ago I paid almost 20€ in northern Italy for the Night. And Hotel was 150 for the night, also not on the cheap side.

We always stay at any of the local self catering cottages, never any of the hotels, love our own space. Our favourite is One Over Eight on Church St and we park up anywhere within walking distance that we can leave the car ( we barely use it when we’re in Whitby or Robin Hood’s Bay)

A very informative chap full of laughter and entertainment love watching his travels and adventures in whitby.

I could spend Christmas at this hotel

I have stayed there in the past and I liked it for the money I paid remember the place was built in 1853 I think it was so you have got problems from the word go as it no doubt has a preservation order on it. If that place was brought up to the high standard it deserves you would be paying a lot more money to stay there so it just wouldn't be viable to run so just sit back and relax the staff work very hard to make everyone welcome and I would stay there again. The biggest problem I found was the dreaded sea gulls they just never shut up but then that's all part and parcels of staying at a sea side hotel.

The hotel definitely looks better on the inside than the out . When we walked past it recently it looked like it needed a good freshen up on the outside .😁😁👍👍

Has anyone got any photos of the VERY TOP FLOOR rooms ?  Because thats where we were DUMPED a few yrs ago , its fine if you dont mind doing a few running repairs throughout the night , Things like fixing the latch keep on the door with a tea spoon to stop it from swinging open ,  ( ended up useing a brochure as a wedge ) or stuffing loo paper in the window frames to stop the wind whistling through ) The view was spectacular if you could see through years of grime on the outside , and thats not all ,
Still, we WERE offered £25 compensation ,  Which we politely  refused on condition they donated it to a charity of the managers choice , OH ! And the lift was dodgy then as well ,

Or may be we were just unlucky

Hi Simon.  My name is Michael and I recently came across your channel.   I absolutely love Whitby and I think your so lucky to be living there and I love your videos about different eating establishments because it shows us what the food in Whitby is really like.   Last time I was in Whitby I ate at the Magpie Cafe and it was really delicious but a little crowded lol and felt like they shove as much as they can in a small space.

There is a lovely little coffee house just near to where the red bridge is in the harbour I think it’s called bean social or bean something.

I loved the video your wife did if your holiday cottage let and it looks amazing

I've been a bit wary of revolving doors ever since I saw The Godfather.  😕

Thanks Simon, your video's are great, thanks for info

It looks gorgeous in there Simon, thanks for the tour 😊❤Xxx

enjoying your videos.stayed on the east crescent last week and called into the royal for a pint and noticed the bar served haddock etc ,saw it when served to a couple sitting nearby it looked enormous .would probably make a good review.

A hotel park charge?

NOPE!

Hi simon thank you for another great video always look forward to your videos love from Dublin🇮🇪❤️
