Adequate
This is a 3* hotel, and it doesn't deserve more. Adequate is the best adjective I can find. Room was a good size and clean, though my partner said his bed sheets smelt 'musty'. The decor in public rooms is a bit drab and in need of an upgrade. I went to the Ladies toilets and 3 of the 4 were labelled 'out of order'. When we arrived the lift was out of order, though fixed by morning. Breakfast was, well 'adequate', the scambled eggs solid, good bacon, tinned fruit.

Perfect room with a small shower
An incredible hotel with a perfect view of the Abbey, which is exactly what I was looking for. The only disappointment was the shower, at 6 1/2 foot I am always critical of the bed an shower. In this case the bed was perfect and I could fit under the shower, but I filled the shower cubicle making moving in it very difficult and rather claustrophobic. It would have been better to either put a shower in the bath or remove the bath and install a bigger shower cubicle.

Night in Whitby
Nice stay at the royal hotel, friendly staff, perfect for weekends away with the dog. Room was very large and had an amazing view off Whitby. Bathroom had a bit of a smell possibly the drains, not sure; wasn’t overwhelming enough to complain about.
