Riviera Guesthouse

The good thing about this B&B was you could control your own rooms heating with the electric radiator. Our breakfast of muffin with bacon and mushroom drizzled with maple syrup was very nice. Room 7 has a lovely view of the sea. We were greeted with, "what's your name", "have you driven here?", "where have you park... don't suppose you have a blue badge?", "paying by card?", "2 keys, one for your room and one for the front door", wasn't shown to room. Felt like an inconvenience rather than a paying guest and because you pay as soon as you arrive, you don't get a thank you or have a safe journey home... nothing! The breakfast is 2 seatings, 8 to 8.45am and 9 to 9.45am, we didn't have a choice, it was the earliest sitting, the dining room is self service for fruit juices, tea and coffee and cereals, we'd been sat down no more than 5 minutes and girl brought our cooked breakfast, didn't even ask if we were ready for it!! The room could have been better cared for, see photos. All in all, would I say here again, unfortunately not!

The Riviera is a lovely place to stay. Warm welcome in person and was advised on parking location. We had a sea view, king room, decorated beautifully with wardrobe, drawers and bedside cabinets. Each side had a lamp. Plenty of sockets, tv on wall, en-suite with bath and shower. The room was light in the day and felt cosy at night. Breakfast was delicious, it has a barrista machine and a help-yourself cold buffet whilst waiting for your ordered hot food. The room has a large window with a sea view. We will be coming back next time we have a weekend break in Whitby.

Amazing views friendly staff comfortable bed and lovely breakfast x

A great stay at Riveria Guesthouse for our visit to Whitby for one night 7th February. From beginning to end we had a wonderful stay, even though it was a short stay. Both Emma & Zed are friendly, warm and hospitable. We arrived slightly earlier than the check in of 2pm, our room was ready so were able to check in sooner. We stayed in Room 7, King Size Sea View Room which was really good, comfortable, clean and spacious. Nicely decorated with comfy home furnishing, we enjoyed being able to sit in the chair at the window and watch the world go by! The view was amazing despite the grey weather, can only imagine it being fantastic when weather is better. Room had plenty of storage space, ie wardrobe space, hangers and drawers etc. There is also small ironing board in the wardrobe if required and a hairdeyer available. Tea, Coffee, Hot Chocolate, Biscuits, Milk were available in the room. Along with decent sized cups as well as drinking glasses and wine glassss. Breakfast was plentiful with great selection to choose from, cooked breakfast is on a pre order basis via small form that is completed and left in a small box in front reception area. The breakfast room is very clean, modern with great view. One extra bonus - as we were there out of season, parking was free outside Riveria Guesthouse and along the various areas which Zed kindly pointed out to us. Would we stay again ? - Absolutely. Zed and Emma are great hosts along with their staff too. Thank You!

Absolutely superb long weekend! Fabulous service, fabulous welcome, scrupulously clean room, can't wait to come back! H. Gale xx
