Great rooms and location, but not the best place if you’re hoping for a peaceful night’s sleep.
Pros:

The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location felt really special.

Cons:

The music from the pub was insanely loud, literally sounded like the musician was in our rooms. We’d had no notice that this was going to be happening on the night of our stay. Between the late night music and the early morning rubbish and delivery trucks (at least we were warned about the latter!), none of us got a great night’s sleep.

Can’t wait to book again…. Amazing location, pet friendly, great quality hotel!
Pros:

The location is amazing, especially if you book a pet friendly room with its own access, its literally on the quayside, it has an outdoor table and two seats along with an umbrella! Inside the room is was very tastefully decorated to a high standard. We loved it so much and have recommended it to everyone! The location was fabulous at the foot of the abbey steps… just be aware that parking is best if you go to the main long stay car park in Whitby about a 10 mins walk away, that’s part of the charm as Whitby cannot accommodate loads of parking spaces which is a good thing and hope they don’t change that! ☺️

Cons:

It was amazing!

The duke of york is a great pub with very good clean accommodation, the pub is situated in a great part of whitby close to everything you need, the breakfast is also very good and plentiful, the staff are really nice and friendly and also very helpful there is no parking at the hotel, but you can park a short walk away in church street 24 hours cost £13.10

Cons:

No problems at all with the hotel, we had a nice three day break, and would definitely stay again.

Great location by the sea

Great location, views from the room, and breakfast.

We enjoyed Whitby and the Duke of York as a good location.
Pros:

Location was excellent, breakfast excellent.Room not worth £150 even though it included breakfast. The bathtub is a total waste of space which could be used as a comfortable sitting area. The bathroom was poorly laid out as water from the shower sprays all over the floor. The bathmat was disgusting with black mould underneath. The net curtain was hanging off and had been secured with a paper clip. The hotel appeared to be more of a busy restaurant with a few rooms. On returning to have a drink we were told there were no seats available but we could stand at the bar.......hotel !!
Great location but totally overpriced at £150.

Cons:

The room layout as it seemed cramped with the over size bathtub in the room. This made the area with the tea making facilities and chair squashed in the corner.
