Can only echo all of the negative comments below really. Couldn't belive it when we had to check in at bar and yes, just pointed in roughly the right direction. We found the hotel to be of a poor standard - it was shabby and there was definately a smell. The cot was still there along with what I can... more

Just had a great weekend here no problems as given in previous reviews. Narrow corridors, what do you expect with an old property, there is a seperate entrace to the hotel area although you booked in at the bar? Breakfast was hot and freshly prepared. Rooms clean though a little tired. The pub/disco stayed open till 2am, no problems as... more

Our frist holiday as a couple, I stayed five nights with my fiance three years back. Found the room clean and airy, no problems. The ambiance was fun and quirky, probably best for a young couple like us! Breakfast...what can I say but FANTASTIC...EXTRA LARGE PORTIONS OF EVERYTHING!!! It is actually the same for an evening meal, I am a... more

On arrival at the George "hotel" we looked for the hotel entrance and unable to find it we walked into the bar. We were then checked in via the bar staff who were serving us and punters at the same time, then we paid up front for the room which is something I have not experienced since travelling in Europe... more

Our first impression of the George was negative. Our tour bus let us off at the door, and we went in to discover that there was no "front desk." Check in took place at the very crowded bar in the pub. Our group of 10 stood around in the very noisy bar with our suitcases, waiting up to 20 minutes... more

Just read other reviews, can't belive I've stayed in the same place! Lively, fun and entertaining. What more can you ask for a weekend in Whitby. The rooms where clean and en-suit to a good standard, staff where helpful, food was great bufffet breakfast was excellent. Location was good because you are right in the center of town with no... more

I think firstly it is important to point out that if you are on a budget, and you only want to stay one night in Whitby - then really this hotel is your only choice. The vast majority of Hotels in Whitby are not at all interested in anyone wanting to stay one night at a weekend, unless it is... more

As soon as we stepped into The George hotel "lobby" the fun started. There didn't seem to be any distinction between pub and hotel, which caused a bit of confusion and much trapsing up and down of stairs with baggage in hope of finding the reception. So where were the concierge staff to greet and assist their new guests? Too... more

We booked this hotel since the website looked nice and had a good sample menu for the restaurant. Be warned - the photographs do not tell the whole picture. The hotel has 2 sides, the other being a very load pub with a late license and if your room is on the lower floors you will have music pounding through... more
