The Marine Hotel

We really enjoyed our two night stay at The Marine Hotel. The room was well decorated and extremely clean with a fantastic view of the harbour and sea beyond. The location is very central and only a few minutes walk from most of the main attractions and shops. The staff were very helpful and provided us with parking permits to cover the three days that we were there. We stayed during the last week of November and although it was a bit chilly outside the room was extremely warm, in fact, we did turn the heating down a bit, it was that warm. We booked the breakfast with the hotel and that was provided at the Moon and Sixpence, a couple of doors down, the food there was excellent.

We booked a 2-night stay looking for good food and luxurious bedroom. Our evening meal and breakfast were exceptional.|However the way the Hotel is managed is disastrous. We were informed a couple of days beforehand that we had been relocated to main hotel for an upgrade (we didn’t realise they had put us a sister hotel down the road). I told the manager we were both disabled and cannot climb lots of stairs. He reassured us that we were on the first floor. It turned out that the bedroom door is up 3 flights of steps and then another 2 flights in the bedroom. We were in the loft! (See picture with 2 little windows at the top). We estimated we climbed 25 flights up and 25 down in the 2 days.|The car park is a permitted road space about 0.5miles away!! and is oversubscribed!!! Even worse, on your day of departure you have to remove it by 10am and breakfast only starts at 10am!! and you have to leave the hotel by 11am with nearest parking now miles away.|The central standalone bath has no safety rail, neither does the top stairs - see pictures.|No breakfast for the first night because the cook needed to take his kids to school.|Stair carpets were filthy.|Wouldn’t recommend the hotel. |Couldn’t see a fire escape.

Can’t comment on the rooms. We had a lovely meal, the service was good and the seafood platter was delicious and fresh. The lobster Thermidor was amazing, the sauce wasn’t too rich and there was so much meat. The crab linguine and the trout was a bit bland, but plenty of crab meat and pasta was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend for lunch.

Stayed for a night at The Marine with my partner and couldn’t have been more pleased. I’m often sceptical about hotels this reasonably priced but it exceeded expectations. The room (no.2) was extremely clean and stylishly decorated - lovely open plan layout with mezzanine bedroom and brilliant views of the harbour from every window. The balcony was also ideal - albeit we didn’t really use it as the weather wasn’t agreeable! We felt lovely and snug. Staff were really welcoming and helpful also, including in the lead up where I’d lost my booking number. Biggest compliment I can give is that The Marine is top of my list next time I’m looking for spots to stay in Whitby.

We stopped here for an evening meal. Can't fault the food (delicious) or service. Great cocktails and liqueur coffees. Will definitely visit again next time in Whitby.

We went to celebrate my 70th birthday, and boy, we weren't disappointed! We loved the room (No.2) with the mezzanine bedroom and the harbour views! Tastefully decorated, with a pair of matching sofas, tea & coffee facilities and a great wet room with dual shower. The bed was very comfortable and large enough for our ageing bones!|Breakfast (which was included in our tariff) was served at the sister restaurant, The Moon and Sixpence, 20m along the front. There's a varied menu available but we opted for a standard English breakfast, which was served hot and was of a high quality. Plenty of scrambled eggs, and two fried eggs for my wife, the hash browns were not the bog standard triangular hotel fare, rather they were cuboid, moist and tasteful. Plenty of bacon, sausage, tomatoes and beans, plus seemingly no limits to coffee top-ups as well.|First night, we ate at the Moon and Sixpence. Started with two superb cocktails, the like of which I've never had before. (I may have led a sheltered life, but they were ace!) A reasonable choice of food for a small establishment, but very well cooked, and served hot by lovely staff. A fair priced wine list too!|Second night we ate at The hotel itself, which offered a slightly more sophisticated menu, for a discerning palate, including plenty of fish options and a reasonably priced wine list. The scollops were perfect, and to be recommended.|All in all I couldn't fault the place. The staff were friendly and helpful, you get a parking permit as part of your tariff (street parking, but there is a loading point opposite which one can use) and checking out a breeze ("Just leave your keys on the desk when you leave!")|Treat yourself! We did, and don't regret a thing!

The hotel is small and a little challenging if climbing stairs is an issue. However, Matthew was very helpful and carried our luggage to our room. There is a handy side door to come and go instead of going through the restaurant. Room 3 is spacious and comfortable. Plenty of tea, milk, water etc., provided. Our primary reason to stay was to eat at the restaurant as the last time, nine years ago, we had an excellent meal. This visit did not disappoint! We had 2 dinners and 2 breakfasts and all were delicious. Lindisfarne oysters, crab, lobster etc. Parking was a little challenging as we were there on a bank holiday weekend. The parking permit is useful, however.

Had an amazing stay here the Friday just gone! The room was very nicely decorated, comfortable and spacious with amazing views. I spent ages just watching the sea, so relaxing. Oh, and most importantly, it was clean! Everything is quite literally on your door step here. I really enjoyed having a separate side door we were given a key for. Just wondered in and out as we pleased. Staff were great, now hassle checking in our out. They let us leave our bags behind after we checked out which was very. It's also the first time my girlfriend has openly complimented a room that I've booked, which has to count for something. Already looking for our next trip back to this Hotel. Would absolutely recommend it.
