La Rosa Hotel

Have you ever been to a hotel that just gets you? That's how I feel about La Rosa. I treated myself to a solo weekend stay in the Little Red [Riding Hood] room for my birthday, and had probably the best hotel stay of my life. The room was amazing - thoughtfully decorated with gorgeous touches to match the theme, with a cosy vibe and the comfiest bed. I booked direct so got complimentary continental breakfast delivered to my room. The room and bathroom were clean, and homemade soap (smelled amazing) was included. The staff were wonderful - friendly and chatty, and really made me feel comfortable, welcome and at home, especially lovely for a solo woman. ||In short, I loved everything about this hotel, and I would love to come back and experience the other rooms!

'Victorian Seaside Fun' perfectly captures the vibe of La Rosa! Such a beautifully detailed and quirky gem, brimming with character and soul. You're immersed in their eclectic collection of antiques and oddities as soon as you step off the pavement. Everywhere you look, there's something interesting to see, read, explore, and enjoy. |The cocktail library is such a treat, too. We felt truly spoiled having such a cool and cozy bar just downstairs! The music was always on point 👌🏻 ||Now, the rooms...||I've never been so reluctant to leave a hotel room. We stayed in 'Stoker' on our first night, and 'La Rosa' on our second... We were only supposed to stay one night, but fell in love with the hotel and had to stay another night! Both rooms are dreamy. The beds are crazy comfortable. The views of the sea and the Abbey were so special. The large bathtubs and complimentary bubble bath were a very welcome touch... The water was hot, and the bubbles were big. What more could you ask for? And yes, two people will fit in them 😁||The staff were every much as part of the charm. Everyone we spoke to was friendly, personable, and relaxed. We were well taken care of and made to feel right at home, without being unnecessarily fussed over or interrupted. It felt like the staff immediately understood what we wanted from our stay and delivered it seamlessly. Just perfect!||Needless to say, we loved everything about this hotel and can't wait to visit again. Thank you, La Rosa, for making our stay in Whitby so special! 🥰

Went for my birthday, it was absolutely delightful. We took our dog with us and stayed in the Sacre Coeur room. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous with so many little details. The staff were so lovely and welcoming. We are already discussing when we will go back for our next stay 🤍

Thank you very much La Rosa for a lovely stay. Great views from our quirky room , very comfy bed , lovely breakfast and your friendliness and enthusiasm just made our trip perfect. So nice to sit in your lovely communal room on an evening listening to music, reading your wonderful books and having a drink from the bar.

Have wanted to stay @ La Rosa for ages and I went there this weekend and stayed in the caravan room ✨🔮.... it was beautiful, the bed was so comfy I could have stayed in it all weekend, we had 2 fabulous nights in Whitby and ate and drank till our hearts were content, I even managed to 'loose' my bf Wayne till the early hours today he was taken by rob in the cocktail bar, I was quite happy as I had the bed to myself for a bit ha ha. We will be back soon, this time we will treat ourselves to one of the bigger rooms 🦢🌹🥀. Maybe la Rosa room or the crows nest. Thank you so much team for the best birthday weekend! x

What a quirky little gem the La Rosa tearoom is. January visit and I think it is a little hit and miss if you find the tearoom open or not but once inside you will be gobsmacked at the fussy interior/decor, lots of random items to keep you amused whilst enjoying a drink/bite to eat.

I have stayed at many hotels here in the UK but none with quite so special as La Rosa! Everything about this Bohemian beauty is truly special. I went on my own for a Birthday break and could not have been made more welcome from all the wonderful friendly and kind staff headed up by the ever fabulous Helen! Nothing was too much trouble including so many wonderful cocktails made by Brodie the host with the most! Breakfast is left outside your door when booking directly and is a real treat! Five stars all round to a wonderful stay and a huge thank you for making my stay truly special!!|Will definately be back!! xxxx|Missing Jonathan so much already! :)

A lovely, quirky hotel, our room the Lewis had an absolutely fantastic view of the town and of course Whitby Abbey. The owners and staff were all very friendly and helpful. No tv which was great but WiFi if we needed it. Continental breakfast delivered to your room or uou could use the tea room downstairs which we did. Dog friendly too. Only downside parking is a bit manic, but we got lucky with a space outside the hotel, £5 pass for 5 days. We thankfully didn't need the car while we were there. Only downside for me was that there wasn't a shower in the bathroom although other rooms do have one

"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.
