Just a relaxing weekend stay, lovely hotel, booked a single room, but would have liked 2 or larger bath towels, also missed a fridge and iron/ing board. That's where the grumble ends. Lovely hotel, lovely room, lovely staff. Breakfast is something else, full waitress service. Didn't book any other meals, but would recommend if time pressured. Could not fault service or room quality and cleanliness. Thanks team, lovely stay.

Free parking in a smallish off road private parking area opposite. Check in was quick with very friendly and helpful staff. Room was a good size, clean, modern and with all the amenities you need. Breakfast was outstanding! All waitress served off a comprehensive menu in a well laid out dining room with attention to detail. The cooked breakfast was excellent and overall what you would expect from a very high end hotel really. I did not have dinner so cannot comment much on that except it was £30 for 3 courses which looked very good considering its decent menu.
Overall the Saxonville hotel really exceeded my expectations and was very good value for money. I thoroughly recommend and I travel a lot.

Getting to our room (24) was a challenge ... lots of stairs and doors.
Water flow in the shower was down to trickle...( no water pressure).
Dinner was ok , but on the pricy side in terms of portion size to cost ratio.

I am not a holiday person, due to the cleanliness of standard holiday hotels, but was very pleasantly surprised by the exceptionally high standards in the Saxonville Hotel.
Helpfulness of the staff was second to none, and our silver service waitress was very professional and friendly.
Smiles go along way in our household, and your staff and management did this with ease.
The food was piping hot when needed to be, nothing was too much trouble, would definitely stay again.
Be aware there is parking there, but it is on a first come first serve basis.
Generally Whitby has very few charge stations available, which leads to a more stressful holiday for electric vehicle owners.

Stayed as a solo traveller for one night for a quick visit to Whitby. Staff were very friendly on the phone when I called to firm up arrangements, and same when greeting me when I arrived. Good amount of private parking available. I arrived at 11:30am before chicken in (3pm) but no issues using the car park while I explored the town.

When I did check in, I found the room clean and comfortable. The decor may be a little dated but it was perfect for my needs. Bathroom looked fairly new and shower worked well. Heated towel rail and good collection of towels for my stay. Bed was super comfy and had a great nights sleep, also in a nice quiet part of Whitby!

I didn't try dinner or breakfast as I had other plans so can't comment on these, but from my experience I would come and stay here again.

A very clean and comfortable hotel, very warm and friendly welcome at reception, walking distance to the heart of Whitby being only a couple of streets back from whalebones on west cliff. Rooms have all you need and are spotless with comfortable beds and wi-fi. Free off street dedicated car park for hotel. Option for dinner at hotel, bar for drinks with lounge. I noticed the hotel had received a tourism award for its breakfast to start your day well. It was also one of the few places not requiring a 2 night minimum stay which is what we needed as only in town for one night. Quiet location for good rest but close to all Whitby has to offer, I would recommend and would stay here again without question.

Short midweek break at Saxonville Hotel

A lovely little family run hotel. The staff couldn't have been friendlier, from arrival to check out, nothing was too much trouble. We thought this was the cleanest hotel we have stayed in. Parking was easy and convenient - we just left the car there as it was easy enough to walk down to the harbour. The restaurant was amazing and fantastic value for money, everything freshly cooked and prepared, so it was no trouble to ask for a dish to be customised to taste. We would highly recommend this hotel

Underwhelmed for the £400+ paid.....

Distinctly from a bygone time. If you can find a staff member after breakfast you are doing well. Tried to spend the £60 + drinks cost of the evening meal and despite there being only 3 diners in a room of empty tables the battle hardened receptionist that evening told us we hadn't booked so there was no meal.....so we took our business around the corner for half the cost and double the atmosphere. Our allocated breakfast table and its unchanged cloth of 4 days gradually became more and more dirty as the food came and went during our time. Our shower was a trickle our bed was lumpy and we appeared to be sharing the room with mice in the wall or under the floor given the scratching and squealing going on at 3 and 4am every morning...wish we had booked an apartment for the grief of being locked out at the midnight curfew...how this place survives is amazing....but given the unbelievable amount of 10 stars exceptionals on the reviews....also there is a distinct non-disabled feel to the place....its full of stairs and steps and tight doorways...been there done that...goodluck goodbye....never again....but has a private parking area in a zoned street....

Very enjoyable overnight stay in Whitby

Quite an old fashioned family hotel in Whitby. Welcome, check-in and service throughout were superb. Obviously significant money has been spent on refurbishment. Room was excellent, well equipped and comfortable. Only downside was the refurbished bathroom, which, although not small had limited shelf space for toilet bags etc., water pressure in shower was so low that it was barely useable although pressure in bath underneath was fine. Sadly the bath itself was \"of the smaller variety\" reminiscent of student halls of residence!
Dinner and breakfast were both very good with lovely staff.

Extremely clean and comfortable hotel. Superb parking arrangement, we have a blue badge though there was a car park opposite. Quite a few stairs in the hotel but staff helped with bags.
We have stayed in Whitby a few times now and this was the best overall experience we have had.
The staff were fantastic (not OTT but so genuine and helpful). Breakfast was amazing and all portions were generous. There was a lovely choice for dinner too, everything was beautifully presented, cooked and served.
Location was great for us, out of the centre but close to the beach and Pavilion for our event.
We will certainly be returning. Thank you.
