Home Truths:
- The apartment is located in the centre of Whitby and is therefore subjected to seagulls noise.
- The apartment is opposite a pub and there can be noise, especially on the weekends.
- The building has a number of floors and the stairs can be tight. Please note Simply Scandi is located on the first floor. The apartment therefore may not be suitable for those less physically able.
Neighborhood
Golden Lion Apartments are located in Whitby town centre so you’ll be perfectly situated to explore the many restaurants, cafes and shops on the doorstep.
Nestled on the West Cliff, you’ll find fun arcades and you’ll be able to sample the catch of the day in one of Whitby’s famous fish restaurants which line Pier Road. The Blue Flag West Cliff beach and promenade is just a short 5-minute walk from the property so you can really make the most of your coastal escape.
The other side of Whitby is full of narrow, medieval streets dotted with boutiques and pubs. Climb the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. You can also discover the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’.
Step outside of Whitby and you’ll uncover a haven of woodland and moorland. Whitby forms part of the North York Moors National Park so it’s the perfect place for long walks.

Fab location, spacious apartment, decor No sweeping brush, broken mop and no hoover, beds were a little uncomfortable due to duvets being too small, I think single beds should have a double duvet for adult and double bed should have king size for two adults sleeping in it

Location was perfect, decor was modern, brilliant shower, washing machine with drier, ease of entry and great communication with host and stay, parking permit Cleanliness was poor, TV and lamp covered in thick dust, floor broken and uneven, toilet seat mounted too high felt unsafe, towel rail not working, no internet or echo dot as advertised, very dirty windows and cobwebs in living room
12/10/2024
it's was a great location and the view was fair the fact is the place wasn't clean on my arrival, felt like you were walking on git, there was hair and dirt on the bedin and cobwebs around the toilet and lampshades. I just really hope that the cleaner just forgot to clean it that day because apart from that it would have been almost perfect
07/10/2024
The location is fantastic right in the centre of Whitby. The property was filthy! There was dirty underwear under our bed. The apartment was filthy. It smelt very badly of smoke. There was ash in the bedroom draws. No toilet roll was left there was an old used bar of soap in the bathroom. The shower in the top bedroom didn’t drain. The carpet looked like it hadn’t been hoovered since it was put down. The sofa. Was absolutely filthy!! Literally disgusting we never sat on it it was that bad! Luckily we didn’t need to be in the apartment much. No wifi!! This also meant the heaters didn’t work because they could only work on WiFi. The main door to the building the lock doesn’t work so anyone can walk in. It is not like the pictures advertised!!!

Location, accessibility. We have stayed at the Golden Lion apartments on many occasions and enjoyed each trip. This time we hade the feeling that the apartments are getting tired and less well stocked. Only 2 mugs for example, less cushions on the sofa than previously, less knives / forks / spoons. The laminate flooring in the bathroom is starting to split.

Property was almost superb however - see below we had 3 complaints - 1 the reason we chose this venue was for WiFi (this is very important to us). The WiFi wasn’t working and this was reported on our arrival, (the WiFi didn’t show up on our devices therefore we guessed that it wasn’t switched on and I couldn’t find the hub to do this). We were assured a team member would come to the apartment and deal with this and the other two issues - this never happened despite over 20 emails back and forth - disgraceful to not have this dealt with as promised 2 the fridge was broken and noisy - it still worked but internal parts were missing so storage was limited, the compressor was noisy and distracting 3 a stain on the skirting on both sides of the toilet pan - either faeces or a painting issue - I wasn’t about to investigate and wanted this looked at by the host What really annoyed me was the use of generic emails to apologise, nothing felt personal, and we felt that the company were happy to take our money, promise to fix the problems and run They have since offered £27.50 as compensation and 20% off our next stay
09/09/2024
I liked the room itself - the design and decorations were just lovely. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was lovely. Didn’t like the fact the room obviously hadn’t been cleaned before us, there was a wee stain on the carpet in the lounge (which stunk the room up when we first entered), glasses with lipstick/lip marks on them, there was what looked like either mould or bird poo on the chair in the lounge infront of the tv, which all got covered in my partners new pair of jeans he bought for the trip, we were given a permit to park which we used and then got a penalty regardless so clearly they didn’t work, we requested for another permit on the day of arrival and didn’t receive one, the website also states wifi is accessible, there wasn’t any wifi, we’ve had to drain our data and not watch tv.
09/09/2024
Its location was excellent. Front door to the apartment block did not shut properly so was always open(not good for security), WiFi didn’t work throughout(not good for work), the whole apartment needed some attention and the building and apartment wasn’t very clean.
07/09/2024
Very central! Clean, amazing shower and the bed was so comfortable! Wi-fi did not work so we could not watch Netflix etc (weather was awful when we were there so stayed in two nights!) ….wanted to download a new book on my kindle but couldn’t do that either! Didn’t matter that much but would have been good. A microwave would be a welcome addition too as well as a dishcloth to hand wash dishes.

Location No Wi-Fi rang to complain nothing could be done, sofa was filthy should not be like this as had washable covers, whole place was shabby tbh I should have checked reviews but we stayed in December and it was great, unfortunately it’s gone downhill quite a bit we will not be back

23/08/2024
Well located a and quite well appointed The internet and TV were not working throughout our stay we reported the fault on day 1 it was day 4 before someone came to turn it on and off again, which had already done and say they would have to contact the owners. No progress by the time we left. We were told they wouldn’t give us any compensation but we could get a discount if we stay again. The shower and sink plugs over flowed. The maintenance guy had it on his list from a previous client apparently but turned up without warning at an inconvenient time so it never got fixed. Various annoying things.. only two towels for a week no hand towels, only two mugs! Generally needs a bit of TLC. They used to give a parking permit but don’t anymore. Not good value anymore.
20/08/2024
Just the location It was very dirty and damaged in area

The location was fab very central The smell as you walk through the doors, the stairs and hallway carpets weren’t fitted right which could easily cause an accident, as the bins are stored when you first walk in the smell is horrendous and there were a lot of flys, once in the apartment though it was a lot better however it hadn’t been cleaned properly, thick dust all over the floors, beer can lids still left on the bedside table but we easily sorted that ourselfs, it does need re decorating as paint was peeling in clumps from the walls,sheets and towels were immaculately clean.
09/08/2024
Location is great Apartment is bright Bed very comfortable Lovely bathroom and shower View is lovely Could be much cleaner lots of dust on towel rail in bathroom and on fittings around the apartment Modern industria. But sadly WiFi not even findable on phone to connect. Which made the great to features unusable No microwave and no usb sockets Paint peeling on walls Upstairs washing machine vibrates the whole bedroom including the floor lol These are issues reported throughout the feedback but sadly don’t seem to be addressed. Having said this the apartment is lovely and for us these were niggles not deal breakers. Already booked to come back in December. Hoping the dusting is done if nothing else
06/08/2024
Location was very central, mattresses were very comfy The place was absolutely filthy, the sofa was thick of dust and sand, stained, and stunk, the floors haven’t seen a hoover since they were laid, the whole place could do with a lick of paint and some maintenance, snapped toilet seats, rotted floor in the en-suite, pictures missing, cracked walls

Perfect location, right in the middle of Whitby and easy to self check in. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Very noisy apartment block, thin walls and creaky stairs. The bathroom was filthy when we arrived and it didn’t seem to have been cleaned very well, barely any toilet roll either, it’s a shame to say you can’t check in until 4pm and check out is 10am next morning but didn’t seem to be cleaned in that 6 hour gap. To be honest I don’t think it is worth the money, especially with the waiver on top but as they accepted pets we were able to bring the dog.
03/08/2024
Good location. Comfortable settee and bed. Good shower. Kitchen had everything needed to holiday self catering (once cleaned and able to use.) The seagulls outside were very noisy, we heard a bit of noise from the Irish pub opposite on the first night but that was it and the stairs to the apartment were narrow and steep. - This was all in the description of the property on booking.com and I liked the honesty in this description. Although the original decor idea is nice and modern the decor was very tired. It needed paint work, repairs where hooks etc. were coming off of the walls. No wardrobe or anywhere to hang clothes in the bedroom, hook that could have been used was hanging off of the wall. The sink didn't drain water well at all making it difficult to use and in constant need of cleaning. The apartment itself and glasses, cups, pots and pans etc. were not clean at all which was the most disappointing part of the stay. We wouldn't stay here again.
31/07/2024
It was small , very unclean !! It was cleaner when we left It was unclean and unkept , you felt like you might fall through the shower, the toilet was wonky and felt like it might fall off the wall, the hangers in the walls just fell out , not worth the money
29/07/2024
Location. Dirty. We arrived to find written in dust on the kitchen chair ‘clean me’. Hallway on arrival dirty and smelt if damp. Lots of noise from neighbours. Sparse basic equipment for self catering no chopping board. No parking card had to pay for first day told we would be reimbursed after ‘reaching out’ still no sign of that and no replies.
27/07/2024
Location as it was right in the centre by the swing Bridge. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom modern. It wasn't very clean. Had to wash the glasses out the cupboard before using them. Could clearly see the dust on the low level lamps. Floor was dirty.
22/07/2024
The location is excellent with a view of the swing bridge and close to everything you could need. Really nice craft beer bar called The Esk Vaults is a couple of doors up. The bed was very comfortable and bathroom/kitchen well equipped for a week away. Even a dog bowl provided. Would definitely stay there again if not for the WiFi. The WiFI was pretty much unusable. It's a 4G mobile router in a cupboard and was too slow for use (I was working while staying). There's a smart TV but it wasn't possible to stream anything on the slow connection. If you want a break from WiFi - not a problem but something to bear in mind if you need it. The hallway/communal areas were a bit smelly but not a problem once you were in the apartment.
20/07/2024
Location Too many stairs
18/07/2024
Excellent location right by the swing bridge. Beautiful modern and clean apartment. Very comfortable bed. Lovely shower. Bedroom had windows on two walls which enabled a nice cross breeze. As with most places in Whitby, you need to park away from the apartment which is a minor annoyance when carting bags.

The property was spacious and allowed room for 4 people comfortably with a small dog too. The ‘self-check in’ is long and leaves you stood outside for 30 minutes. After arriving at the property, I looked around for an electronic device to check in through although ended up calling the office number after not finding anything, but locked doors, after a couple tries they picked up. I asked about checking in and was told I should’ve had confirmation texts with instructions on. I hadn’t received this. It was because I hadn’t had the online payment form for a damage deposit. Needless to say I hadn’t received this either. This was, to my knowledge, included in my original payment. This company are now looking for a further £250 payment to be taken over the phone, while I’m stood outside with no access to a card. I was finally sent a text link to pay this, where a £25 (non-refundable) option was available to pay via Apple Pay. Both payments being completely unreasonable after nothing being mentioned in the ‘property policy’ section on booking.com including the final payment I made showing a cleaning and damage fee already. So my ‘self check in’ took 2 phone calls and 30 minutes while me and the other guests stood waiting on the street with all our bags for the additional hidden charge to go through. The rooms were dirty and damaged including dirty bed sheets. Theres hot water for the shower unless you want to shower for more than 5 mins then you run out of hot water. The chest of drawers in the twin room was bolted to the wall behind the bed so you can’t even open the draws. Overall, a unorganised and chaotic ‘self-checkin’. Would not stay again nor recommend this company.
15/07/2024
Very centrally located, so great place to have a base. The facilities are basic but the bed was comfortable. The parking is far away, so for those with dog crates or heavy food, drop it off close by and then park. There are steep stairs, so if you have a mobility difficulty, this may not be the best rental for you. Unfortunately when we went the Lion pub was renovating so early noise from the builders, but that is a short term issue.
12/07/2024
No Wi-Fi working even though we complained several times. No microwave in kitchen even though it was listed. Bathroom smelled like sewers and toiletries were very limited. Neighbours directly above were constantly banging and shouting all night. Fire alarm went off several times in the early hours of the morning each night. We couldn’t wait to leave in the end. I do not recommend staying here as they just take your money and don’t respond to your complaints. Paying a deposit is an insult.
11/07/2024
Not much Dirty lounge was dirty and had crumbs under cushions suggesting it was not properly cleaned. Pots were not clean. They said the parking was nearby however we had to walk for 15 minutes in the rain from our nearest parking. The place had a sewer smell and all the shower, dishwasher and toilet were not usable because water backed up through the pipes and would have flooded on to the floor if used. Finding the door to the apartment was a nightmare and we had to keep calling for directions as it was not obvious. On arrival we were slugged with another charge of non refundable 25 pounds for insurance which should have been included in the up front cost when comparing charges on booking.com.

Very comfortable bed, lovely shower, and a really nice view of the swing bridge and Abbey. Nice kitchen and breakfast bar area with very good quality appliances. liked the contempory feel of the decor overall especially the exposed brick work and lighting. The apartments are in a very good location, very central so easy to access all that beautiful Whitby has to offer, seagulls get a little noisey but that just adds to the seaside atmosphere. ???? The steps and entrance to the main building looked a little tired and in slight need of a refurb, and there was quite alot of paint peeling off on the outer wall of the apartment which looked a bit ugly. Outside windows and ledges in need of a good clean. .Kitchen overall had very good appliances but a little short on some items such as wine glasses with stems, a frying pan, and they was only one egg cup The decor of the apartment overall was very nice with a modern contempory feel especially liked the exposed brick walls and lighting so it was a shame about the peeling paint on the walls.
06/07/2024
Great location On arrival, we opened the door to a foisty damp smell, to be greeted by 3 floors of stairs, which were narrow and in a spiral form. On entering the property, it had the same damp smell. After finally getting our luggage upstairs, we found that the apartment was mucky infact we couldn't believe it had been cleaned. Dust everywhere, black marks on the walls, settee with stains on, broken glass, chipped dish, cracked toilet lid, damp on the walls, sanitary wrapper under my bed, mucky fridge, crumbs in the knife and fork draw, the list is endless. I contacted the property straight away and was asked if we could send pictures in, we spent the first 2 hours of our holiday on the phone and sending pictures to Host and Stay. They also told us that we should find a scratch card in the apartment for free parking, this is another reason I booked this. Only after ringing them back to say we couldn't find it, they informed us they had run out. We were told to go and park, and they would reimburse us when we checked out, i haven't sent my tickets in yet, so we will see.. On Thursday, 4th July, I received an email to ask if I would like a re-clean. This was the day before we were leaving. I will NEVER use HOST AND STAY again. I have been sent a complaint form to fill in asking for pictures yet again. I will attach a few for you to see. We are not snobs, but when you are paying £650 for 4 nights away, you at least expect it to be clean. After looking back on reviews after this as happened to us, HOST AND STAY have had things like this mentioned to them starting April this year and after telling other guest they would look into it they never have. We booked this in February, so I didn't look at reviews after we had booked. If you are hard working people spend your money elsewhere.

Location, amenities, aesthetic Hard to manage but the bird poo all over sky lights and the stairs are tough

The location of the apartment was brilliant. The decor was nice, but very tired Dealing with the accommodation management company; Host & Stay, was a joke. One of the main reasons we chose this property was the location and the fact you got a parking pass included. We arrived at the property and there was no parking permit. I called the agent multiple times with no answer, so had to find and pay for parking for the first night. I eventually got an answer via message at around 11pm on the first night with silly suggestions. I was given no helpful response or solution. I had to follow up again the next day with no solution until around 4pm, but we eventually received a parking pass. It was also agreed that the £11 for the parking would be reimbursed to us, which was the least they could do for the stress caused. We thought the drama was done with, but 2 weeks later, I had £195 taken from my bank account by Host & Stay with no explanation or pre warning. I was 6 months pregnant at the time and the whole ordeal was becoming too much for me. My husband called them and they said they had refunded us £206 but it should have only been £11 for the parking. So rather than letting us know, they just charged us the difference. The issue was, I hadn’t received the refund yet, so was £195 out of pocket, with no knowledge of when the refund was going to hit my account. I’ve never dealt with a company which has such poor customer service and lack of communication, who also think they can take money from your account without making you aware first. I really feel for the owners of the apartment, as it’s not being managed well at all.
30/06/2024
Cool, well appointed and right next to an Irish pub! Does it get better than that? I think not! Also, the washing and cooking facilities mean that it makes for a cheap holiday! Probably not suitable for the frail because the stairs are a bit steep, but there is little to be done about that.
27/06/2024
Comfortable, well equipped ensuite bathroom are all things we liked Didn't much like the 3 flights of stairs or the all digital instruction pack, great for young people but not quite so good for pensioners who are not fully conversant with computers.
27/06/2024
great location for exploring Whitby.
26/06/2024
The only positive about the property was the location. 1. WiFi did not work so had no access to TV 2. Walls are falling apart with cracks in painting and plaster board coming away 3. Bathroom sink did not drain 4. Hairs in the shower upon arrival 5. Sitting room had not been hoovered or cleaned and was full of dust and dog hair and bits of rubbish 6. The bathroom door did not shut properly and was broke 7. The extractor fan had a thick layer of dust over it and it was turned on which just circulated dust throughout the whole room. 8. Shower tiles laced in mould and dirt 9. Kitchen cupboards and oven are filthy 10. Fridge stunk of off milk and stains in the fridge 11. When you open any of the windows there is a layer of dirt in the bottom of every window 12. Bird poo on bedroom window nearly the size of the window

Nothing.very dirty shabby place inside and out The place was really disappointing . dirty shabby would not recommend it to anyone .paint coming of the walls.very dusty and dirty also no microwave, chopping board, emergency notification on door it was very disappointed we were on our 40 wedding anniversary
24/06/2024
Great location and good size apartment. After paying in full and before they will send you the door codes you have to pay a damage cover payment of either £25 or £500. Like everything else you think you will get a partial refund if no damage, but you don't on the £25 fee. They should tell you this on booking, not after paying in full. You get a bombardment of emails about damage to the property and fees if you are not out by 10 a.m. The main problem is that the apartment was dirty. A few points were that the rug was covered in stains and crumbs. Bathroom not cleaned properly, kitchen sink not clean. Stale smelling communal hallways. Not a good impression. You get the impression from their web site that the property has parking. It doesn't. They give you a ticket to park in the town. Be prepared for a walk with your luggage. We packed expecting to park beside the property. It is only on the day of your arrival that you find this out.

Location Accommodation was basic to say the least, tight twisty stairs had to be climbed to access apartment. No, WiFi, even in-house Alexa didn't work.

The apartment was in a great location and great value for money. The instructions for check in relied on you filling out the waver form which I was unaware of so I had to call the office twice to sort it and get the entry code. Also, the perpetual messaging about when we were to check out. I had 2 the day after we arrived then 2 on the morning we were leaving. Plus, the quite serious messages about leaving it tidy when it was a bit grubby round the edges, dust on light fittings, toilet seat wonky, big dirty scuffs and marks on the walls. But we're weren't bothered by that because it was good value for money. The bed was quite small too.

Microwave would have been nice and a door that fitted better on the bathroom,and a wider staircase would have been nice at 80+found them hardtop navigate

Communication very poor. Asked numerous times for the key code to access the property. Messages remain unanswered. Should have been in by 4pm. Didn't get in until 6pm. No parking scratch card so had to pay £24 parking
05/06/2024
The location was great The apartment was very clean and modern and the bed was comfortable The Wi-Fi did not work so we had no different tv channels and no Alexa and no Wi-Fi for our phones. This was reported but nothing could be sorted while we stayed there. I hope they sorted it for the next visitors.

Great location and a nice clean attractive appartment. The fixtures fittings and equipment were high spec and comprehensive. Close to all the local.amenities The outside entrance was dingy and strewn with rubbish. The front door was dirty. The front door security lock didn't work. The entrance.hallway smelled of damp and had not been hoovered. The Internet did not work and there was no router. The bathroom sink did not drain. There was paint peeling on the lounge wall. The bathroom slide door was broken. Car parking was a.long way away and you had to pay to park before you could get into the apt to find the car park pass. Why not senf it through the post? I also had endless emails all saying the exact same thing. Instructions were late and I had to keep phoning to get information..Very polite responses but not very helpful.

Love the location. The cleanliness is a problem in this property.

Location Admin fee for taking a deposit or pay £25 extra to be insured Check in was a joke, staff very unhelpful and phone kept cutting out. Toilet seat was broke, shower filled up spoke to staff there was supposed to be getting fixed but no one turned up. Asked for a refund and they have a long winded complaints procedure which I can’t be bothered going through. Wouldn’t stay again for free Pics are very flattering all in all quite a crumby little apartment

Location No where to get ready with table, mirror and socket No full.length mirror Rubbish toaster Sofa passed its best by a long way Bag of something disgusting left in cupboard Cold and heating switched down on its own A vacuum hasn't been waved under double bed in too long 50 odd steep, winding steps Last sensor light at bottom of stairs needs to come on sooner for safety

Perfect location and well furnished. Good value for money. The apartment needed a good deep clean with a thick layer of dust visible in certain places and patches of paint falling off wall in living room. The paint of £250 security deposit which takes 2 weeks to be returned is a bit much. Surely could be done quicker.

The location.. Steep, tight and dangerous stairs. Tiny apartment. Very deceiving pictures on booking.com.Had to pay a nonrefundable breakages free. Endless emails and texts. Stayed there for 5 minutes then booked a room at the Endeavour. Will be giving host and stay a very wide birth from now.

Great apartment. Fantastic location

Myself and my parenter booked this stay as the advertising description and photographs looked beautiful. However this was not the case, the entrance smelt damp, the door handle was loose. Cleanliness of the rooms was poor with hairs on the floors, dirt on the inside windows and the sofa and sofa pillows were covered in marks and stains. The floorboards did not meet through the entrie flat, if you have a little one and wish to stay here I would advise not. When speaking to the hosts we received a fast response but no outcome only advice that they would send someone round to look at the property- a voicemail was left later in the day after we had vacated, advising they would come by and would also send a link to reply to, this didn't happen. Finally on our first night upstairs we're drilling til 1am, and started again at 6am, no sleep was had. We messaged the hosts that morning and advised we wouldn't be staying a second night. A full refund has been requested.

Lived how central the location is and that Charlie was super helpful with any questions we had.

The location , electrical appliances other than tv , provisions of kitchen crockery and utensils ect Leaking kitchen sink which was reported yesterday, cold bedroom, and couldn’t alter same as the towel rail despite following instructions, mould in shower, damp on lounge ceiling,lack of normal tv channels and tv constantly glitching. Out of your control but who ever was above us were very noisy stomping about or un packing at 3am

Didn't have breakfast. The location was excellent It was disappointing there was no WiFi. The property was advertised with WiFi but the supposed "modern industrial" was not an option when we searched. As such, Netflix and alexa didn't work.
30/03/2024
We loved the location, close to the train station, shops and the Abbey. The property was warm and comfortable. It could have been cleaned a little better. Mostly clean, but felt like it could use a good deep clean.

The location was brilliant. Everything you could need! There was some wear and to the apartment. And it was filthy under the bed.
19/02/2024
Lovely location, great place to stay will definitely stay again! There was dog hair in different areas of the flat from who I’m guess the previous people who had stayed there, it mustn’t have been cleaned or hovered properly.

-Clean -Easy to get to -Great location -Given wrong access code to key box -Front door was broken so not very secure -Floor boards are coming apart due to underfloor heating

The TV and wifi both didn’t work, the bathroom smelt like sewer and it was unclean
14/02/2024
Lovely decor and an amazing location in the heart of Whitby. Very clean except for a couple of cups and plates that needed another wash. Lovely and warm and modern inside, very easy to check in and good communication. The only downside was that the walls are very thin so noises from upstairs flat and hallway were quite audible.

Very nice apartment situated right in the heart of the town, everything close by. Clean tidy, well thought out place to stay. If you needed help, one phone call away was answered promptly and helpfully No microwave, lack of a wardrobe or bedside draws for clothing

Good location Where do i start. First impressions of the apartment were great, great location and price was reasonable for New Year’s Eve. On arrival the front door was already open and later found out did not actually lock. The entrance stairs to the apartment was damp, cold and dusty. The front door key lock was difficult to open, eventually managed it and then see the door handle was hanging off. Settling into the apartment, the toilet was disgusting, had stains in the toilet and had not been cleaned. The floorboards in the apartment did not fit and left gaps in between some of the boards which was a bit of a trip hazard and hard to walk on. The hooks on the walls were hanging off and we weren’t able to hang any clothes up due to fearing they would completely fall off. The shower was very spacious but had mold on the sealant and the bathroom air vent was absolutely full of dust. In the kitchen there was burn marks on the wall above the kettle, food still left in the sink and what looked to be damp on the wall above the sofa. Everywhere was covered in dust, the floors, the drawers. The apartment was freezing cold and unable to sort this out i messaged and recieved an automated response. I asked multiple times about the issues raised above to which i never got a response or when i did it was automated and did not response to any of my queries. Which i am sure i will have an automated response to this review. The £25 or £250 deposit was also not stated upon booking which i believe should’ve been. I was quite surprised to receive a message stating i had to now pay £25+£10 administration cost or a £250 deposit! It is a shame as the apartment is in a great location and could be lovely but is really let down by basic things.

Cozy and clean most areas, good location. Good view of the bridge. Good Facilities. Dog friendly. Customer services very friendly. Alot of stairs. I didn't feel comfortable walking my dog at night as the stairs were dark and steep and the light didn't work until you got to the bottom. The parking was for street parking and we couldn't find a W spot so we paid £16 for North Yorks Council parking for 2 days which was OK. The rug had a stain on it and the sofa was soiled. They need to do a thorough clean. Not had deposit back yet and not heard anything. 7 days after.

The property was clean, modern in a excellent location I was a little concerned on entry as the hall and stairs area smelt a bit damp, however the was not the case in the apartment, it smelt clean and fresh
05/11/2023
Excellent location, clean, tidy and comfortable on first impressions the staircase is full of cobwebs and smells damp. But once in the accommodation is fabulous. I must admit going up the stairs i was worried the accommodation would be damp etc.

The location was outstanding; perfect view over swing bridge. Everything in walking distance. Appartments has everything you could need. Wi-Fi wasn’t working

Everything Nothing
21/10/2023
Nicely located in the centre of Whitby overlooking the swing Bridge, although it was in the centre it wasn't too noisy even being opposite a pub. If you have a car be prepared to park it in the zoned parking and take a 10 minute walk to the apartment. The property was advertised as having WiFi and hairdryer. No hairdryer and the WiFi didn't work, messaged the agents twice to no avail.

Zentrale und trotzdem ruhige Lage, gute Ausstattung Die Unterkunft war bei unserer Ankunft gar nicht bzw. extrem schlecht gereinigt. Trotz vieler Telefonate, Emailverkehr und Kurznachrichten mit dem Vermieter nahm uns dieser nicht ernst. Es erfolgte keine Nachreinigung und auch die Aufforderung, uns die von uns bei Buchung bezahlten Reinigungskosten rückzuerstatten wurden vom Vermieter ignoriert. Vor nunmehr 2 Wochen kam lediglich eine Email des Vermieters mit der Frage, ob die Beschwerdestelle des Vermieters uns ein Beschwerdeformular schicken solle. Ich bat um dieses Formular und seitdem gab es keinerlei Reaktion mehr von Seiten des Vermieters. Alles sehr unerfreulich und schade, denn die Unterkunft an sich war eigentlich ok. Ich werde bei diesem Vermieter sicher nicht mehr buchen.
11/10/2023

The location was great for us, right in the centre of everything, if we needed to call back with groceries or anything whilst out and about It was just so easy. And the view of the swinging bridge was fab, would ? stay there again. The only one small negative was trying to retrieve the keys, i found it a little difficult. I followed the instructions, after a minute or so…I heard someone upstairs so I knocked on to ask them, didn’t realise you had to open with a little force, but once I retrieved the keys it was so simple so would know for next time.

The property was in a great location, it felt modern and the facilities were up to date. The property was not found to be to a high clean standard on arrival, but the staff did offer to send back housekeeping to re clean the property upon receiving email
19/09/2023
The apartment was well furnished and in a great location and the hosts were very responsive. Slightly confused why there was a hair dryer box with no hair dryer in and is worth noting the down stairs door doesn’t lock at all so does feel a little unsafe at times - aside from that the apartment was of a decent quality. Unfortunately the apartment was extremely dirty on our arrival, with hair and wrappers on the floor, dirt on surfaces such as the lights and also a lot of dust / dirt on the floor and in the corners etc of the apartment. The tooth brush holder and soap dish were also I cleaned with brown water in. All skirting boards etc were almost grey with dust. the hosts kindly organised a reclean yet the apartment was still dirty after this. Really disappointed in this as it is a little unpleasant living in another persons dust / hair / etc for a week. To the point when we put our belongings down, they were then covered in layers of dirt on the areas they had been placed down.

Central . Really nice place . Quiet .beautiful place Parking. Could make it clearer where to park . Sofa wasn't the best but that's just me .could do with a map and post code to where we could park the car . Cost me an extra £9 a day to be parked .

Spacious and excellent location. Comfy beds amd living area. Poor standard of cleaning. Under the beds thick with dust and kitchen hob greasy. Water temp in shower room off kitchen very hot, only just bearable at the coldest setting.

The property is in a great location. The apartment was a little bit dusty and the people that were staying above us had loud music on until 4 am both nights. It would be a good idea just have a noise curfew implemented on the accommodation.
12/08/2023
Location amazing overlooking the swing bridge. Has everything you could need. Would definitely recommend and will stay again Parking and seagulls but that's just Whitby
10/08/2023
Excellent location, lovely apartment, would definitely stay again.
09/08/2023
Location excellent. Well equipped and everything worked well. Number of emails between booking and arrival as well as confusing need to have insurance, deposit, damages hold etc. simply not done in any other accommodation we have used in Britain, Europe or indeed anywhere else in the world. Bit annoying but the property was good
06/08/2023
05/08/2023
Location was first class, well equipped apartment, bed linen and towels were lovely Apartment needs soundproofing, we could hear every footstep and more above us. Cleanliness was mediocre, cobwebs in every room. Broken coat hook in bedroom, no hair dryer, no oven gloves, no oven instructions , the worst thing was the absolutely rancid smell on entering the building, you really needed to hold your breath to get upstairs
30/07/2023
The location couldn’t be better. The flat was very clean when we arrived and the check in instructions were very clear. My only complaint was that the amenities included a hairdryer, but we couldn’t find this anywhere. Would 100% recommend.
28/07/2023
Furnished to a very high standard. Extra touches, Krups coffee machine, Alexa and super large smart tv amazing. Comfortable bed with luxury bedding a bonus and the location couldn’t be better. Excellent communication from the service provider.
24/07/2023
Location and comfortable bed Strong fusty smell in communal stairs which was probably rising damp, tepid shower, finger marks on kitchen units and oven so not clean,dirty outside entrance with bird droppings and tab ends

Location and amenities Cleanliness
21/07/2023
Good location. All the facilities we needed for a good stay It could have been cleaner! There were clumps of hair on the sofa and some areas needed more attention to detail. The duvet was very lumpy and heavy. The 3.30am wake up call by the gulls every morning was not much fun and maybe some secondary glazing would have been helpful
18/07/2023
Excellent Location Cleanliness/ Drain Smell No Grill Pan Seating ideal for Youngsters
17/07/2023
The location was amazing. From the outside this place doesn’t look great but inside the apartment was spotless. Especially ideal if you are only having a few days away. Near to everything. Location ideal for beach and town centre
10/07/2023
Nothing Host and stay, they bombarded us with 28 emails to make us pay for damage waiver which was a con! They wanted to take £250 before we could stay. Alarm bells rang, so many bad reviews on trust pilot. We chose not to stay losing £265 I emailed them twice with no reply. They should be kicked off booking.com as they are damaging your reputation. They are disgraceful! Very disappointed and totally unprofessional.
07/07/2023
Absolutely everything about the property was spot on. It was exceptionally clean and modern, very comfortable with equipped everything you need plus more like Alexa. It was so central right on the harbour. Would definitely go back. Could not fault anything.
06/07/2023
Perfect location. A little smaller than it looked in the photos but perfectly fine with all facilities for a comfortable stay Key ring for key would have been useful. The toilet wasn’t clean.

The location was great as it overlooked the bridge and Abbey and was very central. It was a very modern and clean apartment which was well appointed. The bed was very comfortable. Sometimes a little noisy but to be expected due to town centre location. We enjoyed our stay in Whitby. There was nothing to dislike.
26/05/2023
The location …
23/05/2023
Fantastic location in the heart of Whitby. Parking was a bit of a pain and we opted for the advice to park further out and carry our bags. However, a scratch card is provided on entry to the apartment that lets you park locally, if you can find a spot.
17/05/2023
The access via a narrow, steep staircase is a health hazard exacerbated by very poor lighting. Access and egress in the case of a fire would be a nightmare. We are surprised the property has a fire safety certificate, if indeed it does? Such were our safety concerns that we checked into a local hotel and did not stay 1 night. We are still awaiting a refund.

(Modern Industrial Apartment) The apartment was in a great location. Overall decor was nice and modern. Everything you need from an equipment point of view. Great to have the parking vouchers supplied as parking is a big issue Bed was very comfortable Lovely big modern shower Well equipped Kitchen 1. Property was hard to find, need to state that the entrance is on the left side of the Magpie Kitchen shop. 2. Front entrance palm reader was very temperamental. 3. No wifi for the first day, after phoning it had been changed but not updated in the apartment. (very annoying) 4. Parts of the fridge were broken and it was very noisy, sounded like a tractor(needs replacing) 5. Some mugs and glasses were dirty, had to clean them before using them. 6. Bedside lamp shades and bulbs very dusty 7. Paint peeling off the wall by the three windows 8. Main three windows looking out over the harbour were dirty, (needs a window cleaner) The main issue was the noise from the apartment above the property. We could hear every movement and conversation. There were two sets of people staying during our stay and we thought the first people might have just been over nosey but the following day new people checked in and it was even worse. It's a shame as the apartment is lovely and the location great , just lacking in attention to detail, which you get from privately owned accommodation and not run by a company. The noise unfortunately would put me off staying there again, which is a big shame.

The property was in an excellent location, close to all amenities. The shower was a great and the bed was really comfortable. There was no scratch card left when we arrived which was a pain. After 4 phone calls one was finally put in the key safety box the night before we were going home. The heating wasn’t great, the towel rail was still not working despite other customers commenting in their review back in Sept 22. The constant dripping outside the bedroom window was really annoying. Again this was mentioned in one of the customer comments. The £25 Waiver charge wasn’t clear during booking which I think is a rip off, especially as not everything was in full working order. Lack of clothes hanging space if you were to stay more than a couple of days.
18/04/2023
Great location with great views of the Abbey, very modern decor very clean also had netflix would definitely stay again. Password did not work for WiFi

We had to clean on arrival - filthy sofa needed hoovering/spongeing down, old food left in kitchen sink/draining mat, very sandy floor needed hooverig & brushing. Shower was just about tepid - not hot. very unfair and un-transparent deposit chrging -quite threatening to make you pay it
15/02/2023

I cannot fault the flat at all. Beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable, and had everything I needed. Also in a superb location. Unfortunately, there were a few issues during my stay, including a power cut, but they were not the fault of Host & Stay. They did cause me to leave early however. Having said that, this will be the place I book for any future trips to Whitby - without hesitation.

The accommodation was so cosy, warm & welcoming. Me and partner didn't want to leave, we both wanted to move in. The decor was simple but very characteristic. Overall fantastic accommodation & location. Will defiantly stay again. Nothing, blew it out the park
06/11/2022
Very nice place in an excellent location in the centre of Whitby. Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely return! Easy to book, informative communication from email and text, Parking - could have done with some more information, we found it quite confusing. Ended up using pay&display just to be on the safe side.
03/11/2022
Lovely apartment. In a great location. Clean the windows. Clean the front door area. Clean the communal corridor. Fix the towel rail. Fix the underfloor heating. Maybe get a duvet that isn't quite so heavy. Maybe listen to your guests comments as all of these have been mentioned before!
31/10/2022
clean, cosy and relaxing nothing! just needed to highlight that the sink leaked and the dishwasher didn’t work.
21/10/2022
Pros - The location is very central and made it easy to pop back for a rest after periods of exploring - The decoration was very modern and simple which was nice - The kitchen was well equipped and the hair dryer was powerful - The shower was spacious, powerful and warmed up quickly Cons - The most frustrating part of using this company was the refundable security deposit of £250 or a non refundable £25 waiver. The large security deposit forces you to opt for the £25 fee in fear of losing such a large amount of money, especially as there are many issues in the apartment (these will be listed below) which could be blamed on a guest. - There were multiple snags in the apartment, the floorboards in the bathroom were separated, the kick boards in the kitchen were coming away from the cabinets, there were marks on the walls, the bed frame was broken, a part of the bannister in the hallway kept falling off and the front door to the building to the street was unlocked and could be accessed by anyone - The apartment wasn’t the cleanest, there was dog hair on the sofa which transferred onto our clothes, under the bed was filthy, the bedding and towels did not smell fresh, they smelt like cooking, which was very off putting - The hallway was covered in spiders and there were a few in the apartment too - The heating took a while to warm up as there were only two electrical heaters which wasn’t ideal for a trip in October - The noise from the upstairs guests was a little disturbing, you could hear every footstep and movement
17/10/2022
Location - we stay in Whitby every year and this was the best location we’ve stayed at so far.
16/10/2022
We booked for two nights but only ended up staying for one night! the apartment is very loud due to having people above you and outside, there’s a pub right opposite where people were being sick outside the front door (aware this isn’t the owners fault). The apartment wasn’t clean either with spiders being in the bedroom and it was dusty, it could do with a good deep clean! I would not recommend staying if it’s due to rain as I was kept awake from the rain dripping on the windowsill, people above us kept us up all night too.
13/10/2022
A lovely little apartment that was exactly as listed. The location was fantastic for a 3 day stay in Whitby, from the kitchen window you can see part of the Harbour and the Abbey. Only a ten minute walk to the beach. Check in/out was easy and convenient and the host was always quick to reply to any of our queries before our visit. Would definitely recommend and stay again, thank you
10/10/2022
The location is directly opposite the harbour in Whitby. It could not have been better. External appearances can be deceiving. You enter through a small door in a corner, directly off the street. Then up some narrow windy stairs (those with mobility issues may struggle). Once inside the apartment all is good. The place is huge, spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Full kitchen, big TV, view of the harbour. Big comfy bed. Nearby the food is great and can highly recommend the Magpie Cafe and Trenches for fish and chips. Spent days exploring the winding streets of Whitby and up to the Abbey. There is an Irish pub opposite but we didnt hear a peep out of it. No noise issues despite being in the center of town. A short bus ride away is the lovely village of Staithes. 30 mins away. Great for a side trip and the BEST scampi I have ever had at the Cod and Lobster pub. NOT THE FAULT OF THE ACCOMODATION PROVIDER: Parking in Whitby is a mess. After driving around for over an hour I eventually found a spot on North Cliff. This is near the Capt Cook memorial and the Whale bones. This then involved a trek with cases and all out gear to the venue. Not a biggie for the fit but would be an issue for the elderly or frail. On the second day I found a sop on the other side of the harbour by getting up at 05:30AM. But there is NO free parking close by. Be warned.
04/10/2022
Apartment is exellent , only a couple issues , Extractor fan not working over hob , Local area ro apatment Can be a bit noisy in the evening , as it is the centre of Whitby , but can't fault anything else , Single beds need new mattresses , as they both slump in the middle to one side

Fantastic location, on the flat by harbour side with a view of the swing bridge. Great communications with the host. With front door code and key safe access to the flat door, couldn't be easier to gain access to a well designed and thought out accommodation which was well kept and very clean.

Good view of the town and within walking distance to the Cathedral and pedestrian streets and Cleveland Way. Host and stay was very helpful with helping us to find the unit. Unit was not clean. Unit is very hard to find. You cannot drive your car anywhere near to the unit. Have to park blocks away. There is a parking pass but you don’t get that until you get in the unit. Very narrow stairs are hard to bring suitcases up. Bar below unit is very noisy on weekends. People in unit upstairs and seagulls were very noisy all night long.

the property was in a great location with all the facilities you would need for your stay. including parking permits we didn’t realise it was pet friendly. There were hairs everywhere. The only thing that had been done at this property was the bed had been made. it needed a thorough clean. you could hardly see out the windows for the dirt. when the upstairs apartment flushed their toilet water spilled in the shower cubicle which didn’t smell nice. The entrance/ lobby area didn’t give a good impression. A good hoover was needed.

location was perfect, size and space and cleanliness were perfect t just you could hear the people in the apartment below and above. not sure how that could be helped thoug? I wouldn’t be bothered by it in future/

Everything else. Even a fresh pint of milk waiting in fridge. :) Small items missing: eg no toilet brush but a holder for one, no lid handle for coffee press , no frying pan but a lid for one! Very picky and with these replaced would have got perfect score.

windows could do with cleaning inside and out,together with the framework when the windows are open dirt has collected in the channel not a pleasant site to be looking at,also base boards in the kitchen need fiixing as they fall down if youk knock them.

The apartment was clean, smart, well furnished, well equipped kitchen in a very central location. We ended up paying for parking, easier than searching in w zone which was busy.

Location was unbelievable. Hidden little gem.

The decor was lovely, we really liked the layout of the apartment- it was small and cosy but the perfect size for two people. The location couldn’t have been better, being positioned central to all the attractions of Whitby. Overall it was a lovely little apartment and we enjoyed our stay here. Upon arrival it was evident there was spiders everywhere! The stairway up to the room was crawling with them which made it uncomfortable when entering and exiting the property, especially as they were so big! Inside the room was exactly the same; the first thing I spotted was a huge spider on the bedroom wall and then more and more. We went around the apartment catching all of the ones we could see which didn’t take long as they were very obvious- hanging from corners of the ceiling and sat on walls. In total we had to remove at least 10 before we could settle down. I imagine it is a problem With the building being used but I feel the ones in the room could have quite easily have been removed in preparation for our stay as they were large, obvious, and all over the place (impossible not to have seen). This was the one major problem we had with the property as it made us feel uncomfortable and we struggled to settle in. Another issue we had was the heat- the room got extremely hot and humid. The first couple of days we stayed the weather was extremely hot so this couldn’t be helped. The third day however was very cool and chilly outside yet the room remained uncomfortably hot. We couldn’t understand why the room would just not cool down, we inspected the radiators and heating system (both were switched off) but couldn’t find a solution. Lastly, the property information explained we would have coffee pods to use with the coffee machine, but these were nowhere to be seen leaving us unable to use this facility.

The apartment was comfortable, clean and extremely modern and spacious. It was situated in a great central spot. We thought it was a real home from home with everything available to use. The bed and couch were very comfortable too. Another benefit for us was that it was dog friendly. The stairs were steep and plentiful as we were on the 3rd floor but we got used to them throughout our stay infact they were a good workout. The shower upstairs would benefit from a shelf for shower gel etc and the kitchen utensils are missing a pair of tongs...but that is just our opinion. The seagulls were very noisy but that maybe the time of year!

N/A wee had a lovely time however an ordinary microwave would have helped + there was no instruction booklet for washing machine

Superb location Stairs, didn't mind the amount just very narrow to carry luggage and climb at same time.
23/05/2022
The outer door to all the apartments was a code access. The lock on the inside of the door is a Yale type lock and on one occasion the people who had entered before us had dropped the latch making the code access system inoperable and we were locked out and had to spend the night in our car. The 24hr emergency number was useless as nobody got back to us until 9.04am the next morning. When I pay for 7nights, I expect to get 7 nights, not 6 and a night sleeping rough.

Location brilliant lovely and clean very comfortable. The key pad unreliable
17/05/2022

The apartment was very well appointed and comfortable - couldnt have asked for more. Fabulous location. No complaints at all - excellent property.
03/05/2022
Great view from room. Very good customer care in terms of extras e.g. milk provided, coffee pods provided etc. Even better were the parking permits provided. Bed was slightly uncomfortable. Location of the flat was very central but next to pub so came back on first night to find two drunks outside the door with one having urinated in the corner. They did apologise though ....

A superb place to stay. Location couldn't have been more perfect. Really clean and modern - looks like it has just been refurbished. Communication with the company was also great - they were in regular contact and fixed a very minor issue on the day. Also really great to get parking included which was simple to use. Can't fault this place and looking to return!

Excellent location right in the heart of Whitby town fantastic views of the river. Clean and modern apartment with all the facilities you need for self catering. Rooms are a decent size with underfloor heating. Welcome pack with all the instructions for all the appliances. Good size bathroom with modern suite. Comfy clean bedroom. Great communication via text/email regarding our stay. Pets welcome ?? We have been visting Whitby for several years and have stayed in the most popular hotels/b&b's and the Golden Lion is by far the best we have ever stayed in. Definitely 5 stars ???????? Lack of wardrobe space, only 6 clothes/coat hooks ( 3 in the bedroom and 3 in hallway), Bedroom consists of bed, 2 bedside tables and chest of draws (3 draws). Its understandable that you can't' fit a wardrobe in but the bedroom would benefit from the removal of the hooks in the bedroom and replaced with a wall mounted clothes rail.

Perfect location, right in the centre, 1 min walk to the harbour and 5 min walk to the beach. Stunning apartment with everything you could possibly need. Beautifully decorated. Amazing shower.
16/03/2022
Very comfortable in all respects. The kitchen is great, with enough equipment to actually use it and cook meals. Great shower! We struggled to get in on our first night, and had to call a couple of people for help. The door has an electronic lock with a display which says “show card” on it. In order to access the keypad to enter the code you do not need to show a card, but just cover the card reader with your palm. This was a little confusing, and could have been made clearer.

Modern décor and a spectacular view of the Whitby swing bridge. 3 flights of tight turning stairs making it tricky to get luggage installed.
