We are taxi drivers in Whitby, and a night away was well needed. The Grand was lovely. The staff were lovely, we sat where the grand staircase was, which was relaxing, chilled music and lovely staff. Really enjoyed our short stay and would definitely come back.

This is a beautiful old building with main staircase to match. The staff were helpful and we had a good two nights stay. Be aware that this is an old building now (doors have Yale locks rather than card entry). The rooms themselves are basic but clean and the bed was very comfortable. The room prices reflect the condition and so makes this a place I would stay again.
