Entertainment
The hotel bar shows Sky and BT Sports on large screens and hosts live music, DJ sets, and karaoke several nights per week. A games room offers additional leisure options for guests. The entertainment schedule runs until 2-3am on weekends, with noise audible in lower-floor rooms.
Rooms
Accommodations include quadruple rooms for groups and twin rooms with shared bathroom options, spread over four floors with no lift. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee making facilities, and en-suite bathrooms in most cases. Guests are advised to request a higher floor if noise sensitivity is a concern.
Dining
A carvery is served every Sunday and attracts both hotel guests and locals for roast meats and vegetables. Daily breakfast includes hot items, cereals, toast, juice, tea, and coffee in a buffet style. The bar offers draught ales, wines, spirits, and freshly ground coffee throughout the day.
Location
The hotel sits opposite Whitby Railway Station and the Tourist Information Centre, less than a minute on foot. Whitby Abbey and Whitby beach are a 10-minute stroll away, with no hills to climb to reach the main tourist sites. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway and coastal walks are within easy reach.
Family-Friendly
Family rooms and quadruple rooms accommodate groups and families with children. The hotel offers a lively bar atmosphere with entertainment, which may affect quiet sleep; higher-floor rooms reduce noise. Breakfast is included for all guests, and the central location places shops and arcades within minutes.
