Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about La Rosa Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
La Rosa Hotel is often described as a unique and quirky experience, quite unlike typical hotels, where you shouldn't expect a TV. Guests love the eccentric English charm, Victorian ambiance, and the museum-like decor. The location is superb, offering amazing views of the Abbey and bay, although some guests have pointed out the lack of a dressing table in some rooms. The comfortable beds, big deep bathtubs, and fabulous breakfast in bedroom service are commonly praised, making it a special place to stay near the heart of Whitby.

a DREAMY escape

fresh juice continental breakfast parking permit friendly staff
THE staff was friendly. They provided fresh orange juice each morning and i loved THAT. The continental breakfast was a delight, a simple pleasure. We found convenient parking with a provided permit, which eased our worries.
THE stairs were numerous without a lift, a SLIGHT inconvenience.

individual style lovely staff quirky touch many stairs parking situation scratch card
The hotel possesses an individual style. Staff members were lovely and helpful. The place was really clean. Quirky finishing touches were amazing. I found the attention to detail perfect.
I found a lot of stairs to climb and no lift was available. The parking situation was not good. I had to use on street parking. It was difficult to find a space with a scratch card at a cost.

quirky brilliance!

helpful staff beautiful views
i loved this unique hotel! the staff was so helpful, and the location was perfect with beautiful views. they provided a parking permit, which took away all the stress of parking!
The stoker room had a cool theme. it was a bit impractical because the bed was against the wall, also the bed was very squeaky, and there wasn't much space to sit or do makeup.
