Had an excellent stay at Hudson's. The rooms were immaculate, the bed was just right (for us anyway), and is only a couple of minutes walk into the main part of town. We will definitely be stopping here again!

We stayed for 2 nights and the hottest of them , we was greeted so welcoming and then climbed 4 flights of stairs with a big case we was in room 10 . Which i must add was beautifully spotless with crisp white linin the bathroom was tiny but immaculate aswell, shame it was an attic room as a sofa would of been a lovely touch , we had to stay out all day as the room was maftingly hot with no breeze so air con is a must but it was £136 for 2 nights a stone throw away from beach so location was perfect ,would recomnend for the fit and 10 mins from skippers cafe for fab breakfast from £4 . Overall time though was amazing and you come and go as you please 24 hours a day . If your going get a 1st or 2nd floor room .£5 for 2 days parking and we got directly outside of hotel well worth paying for .

A gorgeous clean room with a fantastic location (5 minutes walk in to Whitby). The owners were welcoming and friendly. A great nights sleep in a very comfortable bed. However, the room needs black out blinds as it was flooded with light at 5:30 in the morning. A more powerful shower would also be a plus.

Beautiful property, rooms were spotless and so well kept and very comfortable after long day. The hosts were really warm and welcoming and happy to chat and help guide us with where to go and eat. Overall would definitely recommend and stay again. Great location, a nice 5/10 min walk to the harbour, and less that that to the beach. Thanks for a lovely stay.

My room was spacious, well appointed and absolutely spotless. The bed was a decent size and extremely comfortable, there was decent storage in the room and the bathroom was compact but very good too. The staff were extremely helpful, welcoming and friendly and breakfast was delicious. There are a lot of stairs (55 if you're staying in the top rooms), which may not suit those with limited mobility but wasn't a problem for any of my party. The rates were reasonable and overall I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

This is an excellent place to stay. Owners are very welcoming and friendly. The hotel is close to shops and town centre. We occupied rooms 3 and 4 and were very happy with both. They were spotlessly clean, large, light and airy, tastefully decorated with comfortable king-sized beds. We will definitely stay there again.
