Hotel is nice enough as were the staff but was disappointed there was no lift to the top floor.... that's not ideal for people who have difficulty walking. My main whinge about The Royal is the parking. When I booked, it wasn't made clear that you have to reserve a parking space so we had to go to nearby car park in the overspill car park. For a hotel that has 140 rooms, 20 car parking spaces, if you're lucky, is frankly quite ridiculous. Other than that I'd recommend The Royal.. it's nice and clean.

The property is currently undergoing renovations, its an older building but they are doing a great job with the refurbishments, i cant wait to come and visit once it is completed. The restaurant and bar is fantastic. Great food... amazing vibes. The room was great, it had an amazing view and lots of space. The staff were friendly and helpful.

We stayed for 2 nights in a family room. Parked next to the hotel at Whitby pavilion top car park for £12 per day. Receptionists were friendly and helpful. If I have to pick one thing that is negative is the free wifi wasn't secured.

Amazing location and friendly staff. It’s going through a refurb and the lift is currently out of order but they warned us before hand and offered to help with luggage! The hotel is so quaint and the room was perfect for us (family room)!Our room had an amazing view of the abbey! Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice. We had Sunday lunch in the restaurant and that was amazing!! 0% alcohol on tap which is amazing (I’m alcohol free and normally stuck with bottles).Planning on many more trips here!!
