Just exactly what you need if you’re planning on walking ground Whitby and just need somewhere to sleep.
Pros:

Always come to this place and it’s absolutely amazing!

Cons:

I wouldn’t say I didn’t like anything about it. It fits in perfectly to what we need: bed, pub downstairs and food company.

Found George's Dragon!
Pros:

Location, clean room and bar downstairs!

Cons:

Description was a bit ambiguous about the shared bathroom but was in no way detrimental to our stay. The room next door housed the dragon 🫢🤣🤣

George hotel whitby
Pros:

It was close enough to see everything we needed to, the staff were friendly. It was exceptionally clean I as a housekeeping supervisor couldn't find anything wrong. They told us of the shared bathroom and not to forget the room key .

Cons:

The fact there was no lift and 67 stairs to go to our room, the mattress was very firm a little too firm for me. I would have liked fruit for breakfast too but they only did Cereal, toast and cooked breakfast. Would i stay again yes i think I would

We enjoyed our stay,the room could of done with another chair and a small table.
Pros:

The room was big, nice and clean, breakfast was quite good, location was fine.

Cons:

The room was nice and big, but there was nothing in it, just one very small shelf for the tea and coffee kettle, a hair dryer, a mirror and two cups that took up that shelf. There was a puffy under the shelf to sit on, with only one seat in the corner; the wardrobe had only four hangers between the twin beds; there was a tiny shelf, just big enough for two cups and the TV remote; the shower room was small but nice and clean.
