Flipping fantastic!
Pros:

Such a truly incredible hotel. If you don’t like standard hotels with zero character where every room looks the same and it’s all a bit….meh, then this is the hotel for you! Each room is very different and a true feast for the eyes with quirky and interesting details. You don’t need (or want) a tv when you can look out over Whitby and see the sun rise and set over Whitby abbey. Book direct and get a wonderful picnic style breakfast brought to your room where you can sit and watch the world slowly go by. If you can manage to pull yourself away and explore the glorious Whitby you can return later for hot and deep bath to rest your legs from the 199 steps and afterwards sample a tipple or three in the lounge with Margot (IYKYK) and listen to the most incredibly eclectic playlist (thanks to Rob and his love for music). Everyone (including John) is brilliant and if you want something with a different feel to the beige hotels then this could very well be the one for you.

The hotel was quirky and the staff were excellent due to the stairs couldn’t stay more than one nigh
Pros:

The staff the location and the cocktails

Cons:

A lot of stairs to climb and no lift, the parking situation wasn’t good I put into the search must have parking it was on street parking if you could find a space with a scratch card at a cost of 6 pounds from the hotel we couldn’t find a space my daughter had to drop us off find a space elsewhere then go and move it early the next morning as it was the 1st of March and charges applied from the 1st of March my daughter is also 6 months pregnant.

Welcoming and pleasurable stay
Pros:

Fantastic quirky hotel some great things to look at, like stepping back in time! The communal areas are just amazing and so relaxing and the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming.
The sea/Abbey views are breathtaking to wake up to and the bed was so comfortable. Amazing location for exploring all over Whitby. Overall a really pleasurable stay.

Cons:

Unfortunately a few things were off for us.
No fridge in the room to store the milk they provide or for items/medication of our own.
The continental breakfast was lacking for the £10 charged per person.
The room whilst amazing in character was a little grubby and needed a spruce up. I get its quirky and for that i absolutely adored it but dirty marks from hands etc was a little off putting.
Remember your usb/c charger plugs!
In our room the bathroom was very dimly lit so not ideal for shaving your face.
No hanging area for clothes

A wonderful break for the New Year celebrations
Pros:

Can’t fault the place. The owners and staff are wonderful.

Full of eclectic charm with themed rooms. We stayed in the ‘Saloon’ which provides a Wild West experience! We didn’t have a sea-view having booked the final free room. However, we had the largest bath I’ve ever seen.

They was a New Year’s Eve party which was well attended by hotel guests as well as some locals. After a few cocktails, for midnight, we all headed outside to watch the fireworks being set off by locals on one of the beaches in Whitby.

Breakfast is a continental buffet which can be delivered to your room and provided a good start to each day.

The hotel location on East Terrace is ideal for walking down into Whitby and has great views out to the Abbey.

Quirky and not your average hotel with no personality
Pros:

I’ve stayed at La Rosa a couple of times and I always have such a lovely time. I could happily sit in the room admiring the view and drinking tea, the room is wonderful (Lewis) and has so many wonderful items in it, I had to keep looking and noticing different things. Everyone was lovely that I met and clearly love what they do. Breakfast is always a delight and I thoroughly enjoyed savouring it whilst watching the out of the window. My only regret is not having any of the amazing cocktails in the bar downstairs, instead I had a long bath (the baths are deep and incredible!) and then fell asleep on the ridiculously comfortable bed. Of course I shall rectify this on my next visit….
