Guests at the popular Royal Whitby can enjoy drinks and meals in the bar and restaurant, which both overlook the ocean and the ballroom is host to a great variety of local entertainment too.

Royal Whitby is just 10 minutes’ walk from local shops and Whitby Railway Station. Whitby is a seaside town that features historic cobbled streets, picturesque houses, and a sandy Blue Flag beach.

+ Property has a great location close to all the sights, the beach/pier and the markets in the pavilion. The bed was very comfortable and the room and the areas of the hotel we visited were very clean.
− For a deluxe room it was smaller than the one we previously stayed in (can’t remember the exact room number) and the room temperature was cold. This was ok once we had turned on the radiator. There was also a lot of banging by the people staying in the room above us until roughly 2am which we mentioned to staff and was told it was a child however the banging was really loud
