My review
Well looked after, the bedroom had a nice character, however the bathroom en suite has had some sort of a make over but not to the best standard.

My top floor room with dormer window had great views out to sea - the payoff being 73 internal stairs in addition to the dozen from street level! I'd previously stayed at this property so was aware of the stairs and the property owner Emma also messaged me at the time of booking to check that there were no mobility issues.
After a minor issue around check-in times, I was able to quickly settle in and found my room to be clean and comfortable with good quality bedding and a generous refreshments tray. Supplementary heating was available if required but I found the room was toasty thanks to the afternoon sun.
Breakfast choices were made the previous evening and popped into a box in reception. Breakfast service ran smoothly with clear table allocations, a good supply of filter coffee, high quality items in my full English and branded cereals and preserves.
Overall, a pleasant stay and I would certainly stay again.

More than 199 steps 😁
Excellent choice for a last minute visit to Whitby. Stunning views overlooking the sea and a perfect location for exploring everything Whitby has to offer. Super clean and modern room and lovely full English breakfast. Nothing at all to complain about. If you can mange the 199 steps you will be fine here 😁

Location of guest house was excellent but as for all such properties in this area car parking has to be paid for using discs or cards purchased from the property. The Riviera was OK but not as good as we were expecting based on the historic reviews.

A reasonably priced guest house which is very convenient for the beach walk and the town centre. Very good choices at breakfast.
Parking is, maybe inevitably, a trial!

Very poor and unclean
The positives ….. bed was clean bath was clean.
Negatives ….. overall very unclean. Public toilet out of order. Staff unhelpful and rude. We were told breakfast was 9am - 10am arrived at 9:10 am to be told breakfast was finished. When we explained what we had been told at check in the response was “ in the twelve years we have had this hotel we have never said that !!!”
They then said they may be able to rustle us something up ….. it was terrible. Very poor food. Staff banging stuff down on the table obviously unhappy with us.
Coffee was undrinkable. Very dirty breakfast room.
Overall our experience was not good. Would definitely not return.
