Don't be fooled by the pictures or the reference to "helpful friendly staff", on the website. The George is a run down pub with rooms, not a Hotel. The staff, with the exception of the cleaner, are unfriendly and not particularly helpful. The reception process was abrupt almost to the point of rudeness but not quite, it all seemed too... More

Staying on my own on business, clean room with no disturbances, decent breakfast and great to be just opposite the train station so no long walk with my bags. Helpful staff and a good sleep, Thanks i'll be back if I come to Whitby

This really isn't all that bad, rooms are clean and fairly spacious. This is my second stay here and both times I'd say the experience was the same even though there are a couple of years between visits which to me means they take care of the property and standards are kept. We arrived around 13:00 and was told that... More

A party of twelve. We would like to say thank you for a really good Easter weekend. Staff were great, really friendly and helpfully. Rooms good size, clean. We were on the second floor. In the morning you had road traffic noise, but not to bad. We will return

We arrived mid-afternoon and first impressions weren't helped by a very faded and peeling sign on the side of the hotel and a crowd of Goths in the very dark bar making a great racket. A disinterested looking lad behind the bar jerked his head in the direction of reception (hidden away up some stairs). Our bedroom - a twin... More

Went into Whitby to find a pub with sky sports so we could watch the hull city match. We bought a round for 6 of us and politely asked the barman (big guy with pony tail) what match they were showing. His reply was without eye contact and he refused to tell us which match, if any they were showing.... More
