Big hotel with Big breakfast

Ideally placed on the cliff top with noteworthy views across the estuary to Whitby Abbey ruins and out to see. The hotel is undergoing a significant face lift and refit but its current public rooms are very good. Outstanding breakfast options available. Well worth the £100 or so for B&B nb lift currently unavailable so be ready to climb some stairs!
John, 1-night trip

Average Stay

Hotel is 'tired' however undergoing a lot of renovation work. There is scaffolding around and realise this has to be carried out in summer months but did not make too much difference to the lovely view. Guests staying with dogs have to walk around the building outside to get to the 'dog' door entrance to the restaurant which is slightly annoying when pouring of rain! Staff all doing their best under some disruption.

Queens Hotel Whitby June 2025

Staff excellent. Restaurant well set out and furnished. Wasnt happy with dirty cups at one breakfast. Good quality food and delivered in good time. Great selection of 6 real ales and 6 lagers. Twin room spacious with lovely sea and abbey view but in need of refreshing. Bathroom adequate but also needed of refeshing. Excellent supply of hot water. I reported the leaking cistern. I'd go again because of the staff, food and views, especially if they ever do get a working lift.

Loved our stay at The Royal Hotel

Really enjoyed our stay. All the staff were lovely. They were having refurbishments done to the rooms. We stayed in one of the refurbished rooms and were very impressed with our stay. Would definitely stay here again. The hotel had great views and was a short walk away from the shops.
