The Marine Hotel

We've stayed at the Marine around 5 or 6 times over the last 10 years but this is our first time back after lockdown. ||The Marine used to feel like a luxury boutique hotel. It was always busy even in Dec but things have changed. It was very quiet and feels like it's losing its mojo||Good points; great location in the centre of whitby, staff very nice and helpful, food in the restaurant really good. Room was spacious and had a lovely view.||Less good points, room a bit shabby and seems to be suffering from a lack of maintenance. Shower room smells strongly of damp. The carpet on the staircase is dirty and smells. Breakfast less good than it used to be, no fruit or yoghurt like there used to be. ||The hotel and restaurant is closed mon and Tues so that means if you stay on a Sunday night there's no breakfast. We k ew this before we arrived and we got a good offer so I wasn't too unhappy about that. The restaurant was closing around 8 on Sunday so that meant the bar was closing.||Overall it was OK and we had a nice time but I'd love to see the Marine back to how it was even if the prices had to go up.

We had dinner here and it was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the corn soup with crab butter and sourdough. The seabass was also really tasty and fish and chips was great and very copious. Great wine and lovely service. Thank you for a very enjoyable meal.

Room was lovely on first sight however we were not given the room we’d booked but hey ho.|Room quite shabby - the shower spurts water everywhere the floor was soaked. Bed lovely and comfortable however managed about 4 hours sleep altogether as the residents of the room directly above us decided to do what sounded like laps of the room and furniture moving from 4:30 - 8:30am!!!!!!! The floor boards all creak and the sound is just awful it’s like a herd of elephants! Nothing at all between the floor and room so you hear everything. |Breakfast menu lovely and breakfast very nice indeed. |Such a shame!

Accomodation review - left extremely disappointed by our recent stay at this hotel. Sure the rooms look nice however the cleanliness of this hotel is beyond disgusting. Sheets are not changed between guests and we were greeted to other peoples hair, dirt and BLOOD stains on the bed. Little care nor resolution offered by management. Sink was blocked and toilet also did not flush properly. For the price of this hotel I’m appalled at the standard of service.

Warm welcome. The parking permit was a nice bonus and enabled us to park a few minutes walk away from the hotel, which does not have its own car park. First impressions of room 1 were positive - nicely decorated in French style with a view of the harbour from a sun room which was an extension of the bedroom. Plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. Good cooked full English breakfast included in the price but one egg, not the advertised two. Cracked basin in the room, stained seats, no hairdryer or anywhere to hang a bath towel, made this seem like poor value: we paid £185 per night. Also for a two night stay I would expect the bed to be made and towels straightened. There are no blinds in the sunroom so privacy and light from the outside street lamp are an issue.

Hotel was clean and room had a great view, the evening meal was poor and over priced for what we had. The room was inclusive of a breakfast at the Moon and Sixpence from 10.00 but was closed Monday and Tuesday and no staff on site at either hotel. When we got home and able to contact hotel to complain they hung up the phone.

We had a lovely meal in the restaurant last night. Delicious food and excellent service from staff. Perfect location with lovely views. The menu was varied which would accommodate most tastes. However we opted for the fish and seafood options and a bottle of wine. Lovely ambience and clean. We also loved the wallpaper. This place came recommended from a friend and did not disappoint. Would definitely go there again.

Had Dinner here, food was excellent especially the crab balls. The maitrede was good, enjoyed the food. Vies of the harbor was nice too. Only the younger staff let this down a little but I am sure they will learn.
