Beautiful hotel, lots of character and really friendly staff. We stayed in La Rosa room and enjoyed a delicious cocktail in the lounge before going out to explore Whitby. Thoroughly recommend!
This hotel is really special. Great Victorian ambiance. Amazing view of the abbey and bay. Do not expect TV but wifi is good. Loved the all antique decor.
The rooms and bar area are quirky and full of character. The view of Whitby and the abbey from the room was spectacular. John the reception / bar staff was brilliant throughout, and was always friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning!
We loved our stay here! Each room is so unique - I promise you'll never stay in a place quite like it! The staff are incredibly nice, especially the dog greeter, John!
Fantastic hotel! Gorgeous and unusual rooms, so many weird and wonderful trinkets all over the hotel, we loved our stay! Rob was very friendly too - great welcome and hosting.

Fabulous quirky hotel
Quirky hotel where each room is themed. Decorated with lots of recycled vintage items. The room and en-suite were a good size. Our room had a view of the beach and Abbey. Orange juice delivered to our room each morning. Fabulous location- walking distance of the harbour etc.
Beautiful hotel. Looks amazing. Very friendly and very welcoming. My room was amazing also. Loved my stay and would definitely go back again and definitely recommend staying there
The view from our room was stunning! The staff were lovely and had a really homely vibe. A quirky cocktail room which I loved!
Would definitely go back, had the best time
Not your typical hotel - don’t expect cable TV and a jacuzzi. This hotel is English eccentric and unique. A museum of curiosities, a superb location with Abbey and sea views - absolutely delightful.
Great location and views over Whitby harbour. Parking a bit hit and miss on street. Nice, quirky hotel. Very friendly, no shower became a bit tiresome after three nights and room could have done with more comfortable furniture. Also worth noting breakfast not included in Expedia rate.
Definitely different from the soulless norm. Very pleasant greeting from the owners and a lovely served breakfast with some very nice personal touches. A lot of thought had gone into the decor some of which was highly amusing, not least the draped mannikin in the cocktail bar. The cocktails were excellent as well. If you want all modcons of a modern hotel chain then not for you but if you like something unique, personal and quirky then this is for you. Made our road trip down the East Coast very special.
I had such an amazing stay at La Rosa Hotel in Whitby! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming—honestly, all three of them were just amazing. They went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect and created such a warm atmosphere that it felt more like a home than a hotel or B&B.
The hotel itself has such a cool, quirky vibe—it really captures the charm of Whitby’s seaside atmosphere. The breakfast was definitely a highlight—so tasty and filling, it set me up perfectly for the day ahead. Everything about the place feels thoughtful, from the comfy rooms to the fantastic hospitality. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy it all over again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
A very quirky property in a quiet, walkable location. Amazing views of the beach and across to Whitby Abbey. Our room was basic and had no shower but was warm and comfortable. Lots of interesting antiques devote the property.
We had a lovely afternoon tea looking at the view.
A little bijou haven. Not your modern clean crisp lines so if that’s what you want keep searching.
Helen Rob and John the dog are amazing as are all the La Rosa crew.
Hotel was like stepping back in time lots of childhood memorabilia fun.
The staff and the themed rooms were superb
Only thing i could have had extra was a shower but i new there was not but the fantastic bath made the stay brilliant
Thank you
