Could do with a facelift.
Pros:

Very clean.
Easy to walk into Whitby town.

Cons:

Rather old fashioned in our view.
Full waiter service at breakfast felt very strange and would prefer to only have this for cooked items.
Very noisy seagulls woke us early.

Lovely relaxed stay in comfortable hotel.
Pros:

Staff were friendly and helpful. Evening meal was very good and proved good value for the three course special. Breakfast was exceptional - so nice to be served no buffet. Room was spacious and comfortable ( twin deluxe) though I found the bed a little firm but its a matter of preference. Nice touches in room - bottled water, tissues, toiletries etc - some places skimp on these things. Parking was available though we did not need it. Location was good on west cliff away from busy parts but handy for a walk to Sandsend along the beach.

Cons:

Nothing!

Great stopover in a traditional seaside Hotel.
Pros:

Nice clean rooms, friendly helpful staff. Table service was really nice at breakfast as was the food, all good quality ingredients. Unfortunately our visit was cut short because of family issues so we were unable to enjoy the full experience.

Cons:

It's and old style of hotel so there are no lifts. If you're not fit and able the stairs may not be suitable for you especially if you're on a higher floor. This was not a problem for us but if my elderly mother had been visiting by herself she may have struggled. That said I'm sure staff would help with luggage and the stairs were narrow enough that you could use both handrails.

History, Coast and Cod
Pros:

The room we stayed in was a very good size with plenty of drawers and cupboard space for our clothes. The bathroom was quite spacious too. Rooms were spotless as they were cleaned everyday and towels changed daily too. The breakfast was exceptional with plenty of choice and of course the waitresses were brilliant in serving to our needs.The hotel offered evening meals which we took advantage of and we weren’t disappointed. Quite a few choices on menu which catered for everyone. Car park was a bonus as it was free but on a first come basis, having said that, we had no problem parking there. Well done Saxonville.

Cons:

It was further out than i realised from the centre, walking down was easy enough but the walk back is all uphill. This hasn’t put us off though about staying again at Saxonville.
