    electric kettle

    Just an optimal selection for spending a night in Whitby with best value. The electric kettle was perfect for making quick cups of tea after arriving. Bring your own kitchen utensils for better convenience.

    Large room, everything was fine. The location was incredible, in the shower the there was black mould in the grout around the edges overlooking sea. Had nice dainties at Beckett's coffee shop, located quite close to the hotel. We really enjoyed it: )

    convenient access

    The location was fantastic, just a stone's throw from the beach. Fresh towels came daily, and the beds were clean and comfy. It was easy to get into the hotel without losing my key. Definitely a nice spot 🌊

    The self-check-in system was a decent concept, though it had its hiccups. The large double room showed promise with ample space, albeit it could have used a little more warmth to make it cozy during the night.

    The bathroom had a severe odor, with hair around the drain and a stench that lingered unpleasantly. The cleanliness was far from satisfactory, with dirty bedding and unfurnished kitchen essentials, made cooking impractical. The mattress had unsightly stains, and the TV was inoperable unless rigged to a phone. It seemed like a letdown, with a lack of attention to detail that left me questioning the value for the price paid.

    spacious sea view
    limited kitchen facilities

    The two-bedroom apartment with a sea view was fantastic, offering spacious living areas and fine views, made relaxation effortless after a day of exploring.

    The kitchen facilities were a bit lacking. I expected better equipment for cooking and food preparation, which would have elevated the experience even more.

    spacious room
    clean decor
    lovely scent

    The One-Bedroom Apartment with Sea View was amazing! Super spacious, clean, and the decor was bright and inviting. Loved the fresh scent in the room, like new carpets or something. Even with terrible weather outside, coming back here felt cozy and cute. And all the essentials like towels and tea provided was such a nice touch. Can't wait to stay again and hopefully get room 3!

    spacious apartment
    great location
    worn decor
    dated bathroom
    kitchen appliances

    The spacious two-bedroom apartment offered a fine sea view and was conveniently located near the beach and town amenities. The decor felt somewhat dated, and the bathrooms required more attention to cleanliness. While the kitchen was adequately equipped, a few appliances were showing signs of wear. The daily fresh towels were a nice touch.

    I had a lovely stay, especially enjoying the spacious, clean apartment and the comfortable beds. Unfortunately, the kitchen could use some serious attention. it was a bit worn and needed cleaning.

    The spacious apartment had a fully equipped kitchen, and the big windows offered fine views of the ocean. The tv and lounge area made it perfect.

    Bathroom could have used some attention.
