Quirky but not good value for money.
Pros:

Very quirky, nice friendly staff.

Cons:

The room had been divided up to create room for an en suite, which made the bedroom very small and the bathroom with only a bath, no shower or attachment. There was very little area to store anything and very poor lighting.

Pros:

La vue est superbe sur le port et les ruines de l'abbaye.
Situé juste au dessus des quais, un escalier avec rampe y conduit.
Prendre un petit gâteau le soir en bavardant avec le patron, quel bonheur.

Fantastic quirky boutique hotel
Pros:

This was our second stay at this quirky boutique hotel. It is in a great location, with views of the harbour and abbey from the front bedrooms. Only 5 minutes walk from the pubs, restaurants and shops.
Parking can be challenging at busier times, but we found a spot after a few minutes. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely Magical
Pros:

Just back from a magical stay at La Rosa hotel. What an absolute treat it was. We hadn't stayed here for 9 years and I was so happy that it hadn't changed at all. It's still a fairytale, quirky, magical, place filled with a wonderful atmosphere and packed with fascinating curiosities. We stayed in The Little Red (Riding Hood) Room, which was enchanting. It may be small but it has a very comfortable 4 poster bed and a lovely hot shower with big fluffy white towels. You can have your continental breakfast in your room or in the tea rooms downstairs with stunning views of Whitby Abbey from the windows. The breakfast was absolutely gorgeous and so fresh using finest quality products. The cocktail bar is amazing, as are the cocktails and the eclectic music. The owners and staff are so lovely and friendly and looked after us so well. We can't wait to return. Many thanks to Rob, Helen, Ilona and Brodie. You are all stars. Our stay was also hugely enhanced by John, Margo and Madame La Rosa. My husband and myself loved every single minute of our stay.

What an amazing hotel. Very different
Pros:

What an amazing place. Really cute and quaint. The owners have spent a lot of time making the hotel very homely and different.
Very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.
We stayed in caravan room. Which was quite small but adequate. Spotlessly clean.
Continental breakfast is included but we didn’t have it as we went out early. But it looked lovely.
Had a very pleasant 2 night stay

The perfect place
Pros:

Everything about this hotel is great, the room we stopped in was set out like Lewis Carols drawing room, with lots of little features. The bed was big and so comfortable. The view out the windows over to Whitby Abbey and the sea are fantastic and the staff are so helpful and friendley

Cons:

Nothing not to like we found our perfect getaway place.

Quirky hotel in a great location with wonderful views of Whitby
Pros:

I love this place because it's so unusual and quirky. I love how many things there are to look at and lots of surprises everywhere. You don't know what you'll see next. This was our second visit here. We enjoyed staying in the room, Lewis. It was very comfortable and had the most amazing view of Whitby. The place isn't perhaps the cleanest, but I still love it! And it's such a friendly place, too.
