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.

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!

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.

Quiet, comfortable, warm, excellent views, helpful and friendly staff, imaginative and fun decor, conveniently situated.
Only complaint was a badly cracked wash basin. BUT a beautiful, spacious bath.

Most unique - pretend you are a traveling Victorian.. I had skate wing at the Magpie and the most fabulous view of the Abbey from our bed. The hop off hop on bus starts practically out the door and eliminates ant need to walk up or Dow the steep “cliffs” to the town below or the Abbey across the harbor..

The La Rosa hotel is truly an incredible place to stay. The decor is so fun, the cocktail bar is great and the room we stayed it was super comfortable. The bed is absolute heaven and the big bath just adds to the luxurious comfort. We didn't have breakfast but we heard it was fab, the free milk and juice we got dropped off every morning was a lovely touch. The only small thing we would have changed is that the bed frame was pretty creaky and the walls are kinda thin...

Stayed in The Loft room.
Although a large room it really needs updating as far as fixtures and fittings are concerned.

Nice property and location, but let down by overall room cleanliness.
Lot of dust, bits and crumbs in bed as if it hasn’t been cleaned in a while.
Had to request new towels as the first set stank of mould/damp and didn’t look clean - smell was bad enough that it left the smell on my skin.
Bath was nice and big, view was good, staff were friendly.
