We had a lovely welcome at check in 💕 The parking was super we got parked outside which was convenient and we were given a parking permit. So that took the stress out of parking as Whitby was busy. The hotel is quirky and fabulous which we loved. We stayed in the crows nest on the the top floor. It had 3 bedrooms, living room, bathroom and seperate toilet. Each room is themed and the kids loved the treasure chest full of dressing up! Our room had beautiful views over the harbour. We went out for dinner to Trenches it's was amazing. Best fish and chips in Whitby 💕 We only booked room only so for breakfast we went out too! But there is an option of a continental breakfast at the hotel .We used the hotel as a base it's a super location and great for a short stay especially for a family of five which is difficult to find 💕. We were also given complimentary milk and tea and coffee making facilities in our apartment and fresh orange juice in the morning which is a lovely touch thank you! We would recommend experiencing this unique hotel which capulates the imagination and looks over on to the famous Whitby Abby 💕We had a wonderful stay thank you to the La Rosa hotel and wonderful staff!

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.

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.

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!

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.
