“This centrally located option across from the train station is a practical choice for visitors to Whitby, and I found the staff consistently welcoming in what seems to be a lively atmosphere. The recent updates appear to have made for clean and comfortable rooms, especially given the affordable pricing, and breakfast seems more than adequate. Overall, it strikes me as a dependable base for exploring the area.”
