I visited Whitby for the first time recently, and I definitely lucked out picking this hotel! My stay was wonderful, all the staff were lovely, the complimentary breakfast was exceptional each morning, and the bed was so comfortable!
All in all my trip was made perfect thanks to my stay at this seafront hotel.
Thanks a lot Emma & Zed!

Just love staying at the Riviera Guesthouse, Emma & Zed are perfect hosts, fun, friendly and we love seeing their family grow.
The 4-poster King en-suite sea view room is amazing, beautiful decor, clean, tidy with all facilities available. The bed is soooo comfortable and warm. Love to sit at the bay window and watch the world go by, with a cup of tea.
You know it’s perfect, when you meet the same people year after year.
Simply the Best!

Lovely and clean, great location with sea view from our room. Free parking opposite as it was out of season and only a 5 min walk to the town. Great breakfast with lots of choice!

Me and my daughter stayed one night last week and had a lovely stay. Great location, breakfast was lovely and catered to anyone's preferences but I was most impressed by the fact that there were generous supplies of tea bags, coffee and milk in the room! Such a nice change to get more than one portion each, plus Galaxy hot chocolate 💜 it's the little things! would defo book again.

Lovely guest house. Prime position looking out to sea. Good breakfast of your choice. Unfortunately no lift so struggled to get to third floor. Would go again if we were 30 years younger.

Room was clean and fairly big. The owners and staff were all really nice and helpful. The cooked breakfast was amazing and they cater for whatever you fancy. If you have any questions about the area or need advice on what to do any of the staff will be more than happy to help. Will be returning and would recomend staying at this guest house.
