Saxonville Hotel

Booked one night in December to meetup with friends. Reviews were good and we discovered why. An old Victorian type building, just off the main beach top road. Free private parking opposite was ideal. Although the hotel is old, it is very well maintained and spotlessly clean. Our room, 25, was on the top floor 37 steps up so if you arent great with stairs mention on booking. Our room had a partial sea view and like the rest of the hotel, was spotless. Nice touch having robes and slippers, normally only found in pricier hotels. Bed was very comfortable with quality bedding. Great lighting in the bathroom for applying make up. Also a hand held magnifying mirror in the room. One of my frequent gripes about hotels is inadequate lighting for applying makeup. Breakfast was fabulous, all waitress service which made a pleasant change from a frantic self service buffet style event and thankfully no awful bread toasting machine that takes so long your meal is going cold! Staff were lovely too. In summary, its a beautifully hotel with old fashioned charm and everything you need and more.

Most important first and that's the breakfast !! And that was excellent with top class service by very nice and helpful staff . The rooms were very clean . Only negative thing was the Water pressure in the shower was poor but you can't expect everything to be perfect.. will defo stay again as me and the wife had a great week end away thank you

Excellent hotel. Rooms are very clean and a good size. Staff are very friendly and polite. The breakfast is very nice. We will definitely stay again.

Very clean, spacious and well appointed room; Comfortable and welcoming hotel in general; very attentive staff and very good customer service; excellent breakfast - choices, portions, quality and preparation of food. The hotel is in a very good location - very quiet and peaceful but only around 15 minutes walk into Whitby centre. I stayed for 3 nights with my wife - both of us late 60's - and used the hotel to tour the area (Runswick Bay, Robin Hood's Bay, Staithes) as well as getting to know Whitby. It suited us perfectly and wold definitely stay again. Highly recommended hotel.

Absolutely fantastic hotel. Rooms are just perfect. Spotless so clean and tidy. Beds more than comfortable they are perfect. Pillows so comfortable slept like a baby. Waiter/waitress service made all the difference. Old school service loved every minute of it. Food was beautiful selection for breakfast fantastic. And now to the staff every single one of the staff so professional so polite and lovely. From booking to leaving (not that we wanted to leave) could have stayed for ages. But work on Monday 😪. All I can say is thank you so much all of you especially Gerda on reception as we decided to book a extra night on the friday and she did everything to sort it out for us. So Thank you all again. Yes the hotel is still old style. But that is what makes it. I love the fact that you still have to old key locks on the doors. I love all the vintage locks in the hotel and the old school waiter service. If you want modern go somewhere else. Nothing needs doing at all to this hotel it is exactly as it should be. Its clean its 100% fantastic. Please take no notice of the reviews who are saying it is dated. It is not at all it is beautiful and the way hotels should be. Loved our stay and this will always be my go to hotel in whitby from now on. Little Gem of a hotel And yes we will be back. Mr Barrie Slater and Mrs Amanda Slater
