La Rosa Hotel

Great place. The staff are great, the building is awesome and the decor is perfect. We had the crows nest, the rooms were individually amazing, clean and those on the front had great views of the town and the Abbey. Continental breakfast delivered to your door. Bar has great beer selection. I can’t wait to come back.

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.

Absolutely amazing hotel! We stayed for 3 nights and it was fantastic. The hotel is gorgeously decorated throughout, with each room themed and filled with character. Breakfast delivered to our door was a lovely thing to wake up to. Our room had a bath, a comfy queen (maybe king?) bed, with a seafront view that included the harbour, the steps, and the Abbey. Parking was directly out front which was a great help. Loads of places nearby for lil bits, and a very short walk into Whitby centre. The staff we're all wonderful and welcoming and made our stay as magical as the hotel itself. I really could go on with more details, but I'd rather outright say it's fab, fantastic, and a true gem. Thank you to the staff who looked after us on our anniversary holiday, you're amazing. And thank you John, the hotel dog, for allowing us to pet you.

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….

We had a truly lovely stay at this beautiful hotel. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully presented. We would happily stay again and highly recommend it. Thank you!

Friendly staff, funky surrounds and fantastic views made this an incredible 5-star experience for my partner and I as we visited Whitby. All within short walking distance of everything. Parking was arranged on the street outside the hotel. There is no lift so keep this in mind for those with mobility concerns. A delicious selection of drinks are available in the downstairs “cocktail library” and if you’re lucky you will meet the friendly hotel dog named John. Overall though 5/5 - will return and recommend!

This is a real find - stunning location on the cliff, quirky decor, great cocktails. We stayed in the Western room, and it was lovely. The bath is enormous, at 6'4" I could stretch out fully! The staff were lovely, and it was nice staying somewhere unique!

My husband suggested we stay at La Rosa for our Wedding Anniversary and we were not disappointed. We stayed in the Arabesque room (2nd floor). |Unfortunately my satnav decided to guide us into Whitby/the hotel by trying to take me down a ‘No left turn’ route & then ‘a dead end’ road and thanks to new asphalt/construction on the road coming in I’d gotten a chip in the windshield (luckily on inspection it’s a small surface scratch which didn’t render the car unsafe to drive) but it meant when I got to the road the La Rosa is on and struggled to find a parking space I’d gotten a little stressed! |I went to reception (as I’d emailed in advance as we came into Whitby earlier than our check-in time to pick up the £5 parking permit for the W Disc Zone) & was visibly upset so the lovely hotel staff took me into the Library, sat me on a settee & offered me a glass of water before they even knew I was actually staying in their splendid hotel! After getting a cuddle from their dog Jonathan & calming down I thanked both staff. We came back later to ‘check in’ and they checked if I was doing better.|The Arabesque room has a massive comfortable 4 poster bed & an opulent bath which is perfect for a relaxing soak after walking around Whitby. The complimentary soaps & bubble bath smell divine. |We were given a choice of breakfast down in the dining area or in our room & we opted for it in our room. Again the staff went above and beyond providing me with both a cafetière & coffee bags as I’m a big coffee drinker and we were gifted with a bottle of Prosecco and a Card on our wedding anniversary. |We pre-booked one evening for cocktails in the library and we were not disappointed. It was a fantastic experience to sit amongst the interesting/quirky objects listening to jazz/blues whilst sipping expertly mixed drinks. |This was the best stay we’ve ever had in any hotel and we did not want to leave!

"Victorian Seaside Fun" Every one of those words is true for this hotel. I whisked the lover off for a 6 month anniversary jaunt and wow! just wow! The first thing that you notice as you pull up to the hotel are the incredible views. Situated on East Terrace, Whitby is below you, with the Shambles and the Abbey on the other side of the harbour. It may seem like miles away but really is only a 5 minute walk downhill (a bit longer on the way back up!!). La Rosa is fantastic, from the intoxicating smell of lavender and honey as you walk through the door to the inordinate amount of Victorian "stuff" everywhere. You can't help but stand in awe and stare at everything. Quite literally awesome! Although not overwhelming and not like an aged relative's house. We were a bit late for the afternoon tea, but I've heard good things. Each room is done up to a different theme that you can see on the website. we stayed in "La Rosa" which was just beautiful and romantic. Very comfortable bed, massive mirrors and a red bathroom with roll-top bath (with lots of hot water) and the same views (but higher) of the Abbey to top off an incredible room! The people that run this place are lovely and fun and I just want to hug. Dogs are allowed, although not advertised, so The Count got a lovely warm welcome too! They also have a caravan park north of Whitby that i am dying to go to. each caravan has a different theme...sounds just as kitsch and fab as this place! Not ont he cheap side, but if you have the opportunity... GO!

I was in Whitby with my mother and my sister and brother in law for a weekend break. However the ladies really wanted to stay at La Rosa, but they only had 1 room available,,, so me and my brother in law stayed at a different hotel nearby. We had a great weekend and on the Sunday me and my brother in law checked out of our hotel and decided to go see the girls and go look a their room as they were saying it was nice, and help with the bags. Anyway, we got to Las Rosa and I explained that we were waiting for my mother and sister and that I had heard good things about the rooms. The receptionist murmured a quiet "ohh" and I asked if I could go have a quick look at the room and to help my mother with her bags.I can only assume the receptionist didn't like the look of me as she said very arrogantly "no I am not prepared to allow you walk around in the hotel" I said "but I just want to help my mother" She replied.. "well I'm sorry". I said "oh ok, but if I wanted to book a room would you allow me to see it" This somehow enraged the "ample" receptionist as she said "Can you get out please get out now" I WAS SHOCKED!! I have never experienced such rudeness :o I can only assume she is the manager as NO ONE would employ such a rude receptionist.. SURELY?? It is NOT in my character to make complaints, but I felt it is only fair to give people fair warning and an honest account.
