Fabulous quirky hotel

Quirky hotel where each room is themed. Decorated with lots of recycled vintage items. The room and en-suite were a good size. Our room had a view of the beach and Abbey. Orange juice delivered to our room each morning. Fabulous location- walking distance of the harbour etc.

Not your typical hotel - don’t expect cable TV and a jacuzzi. This hotel is English eccentric and unique. A museum of curiosities, a superb location with Abbey and sea views - absolutely delightful.

Great location and views over Whitby harbour. Parking a bit hit and miss on street. Nice, quirky hotel. Very friendly, no shower became a bit tiresome after three nights and room could have done with more comfortable furniture. Also worth noting breakfast not included in Expedia rate.

Quirky and a pleasant change

Definitely different from the soulless norm. Very pleasant greeting from the owners and a lovely served breakfast with some very nice personal touches. A lot of thought had gone into the decor some of which was highly amusing, not least the draped mannikin in the cocktail bar. The cocktails were excellent as well. If you want all modcons of a modern hotel chain then not for you but if you like something unique, personal and quirky then this is for you. Made our road trip down the East Coast very special.

Our stay at La Rosa

I had such an amazing stay at La Rosa Hotel in Whitby! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming—honestly, all three of them were just amazing. They went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect and created such a warm atmosphere that it felt more like a home than a hotel or B&B. The hotel itself has such a cool, quirky vibe—it really captures the charm of Whitby’s seaside atmosphere. The breakfast was definitely a highlight—so tasty and filling, it set me up perfectly for the day ahead. Everything about the place feels thoughtful, from the comfy rooms to the fantastic hospitality. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy it all over again!

Absolutely lovely atmosphere

A little bijou haven. Not your modern clean crisp lines so if that’s what you want keep searching. Helen Rob and John the dog are amazing as are all the La Rosa crew. Hotel was like stepping back in time lots of childhood memorabilia fun.
