Top Whitley Sands Hotel Reviews

The Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place sea view big room. Very clean and nice breakfast very helpful. Children loved it lots of fun 😀"

York House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Hotel and room were clean and comfortable and the owner very willing to please. The location is well situated with easy acess to the town centre shops and seafront. Traffic noise is minimal and presents no problems with sleeping. The morning breakfast offers a large and varied selection with something available for all tastes, The full English breakfast is highly recommended to set you up for the day. As a suggestion a tea towel and small sponge would be an advantage upon the sink in order to swill items used. Having said that used crockery and cups were very quickly renewed. A very enjoyable stay and will definately return. An ammendment is required to the information brochure and "Expedia" booking information in regards to Parking. Free parking is now very limited with just Two spaces at the hotel frontage. The large carpark is under new ownership and is "not free" on weekends. The fee is £4.80 all day from 9am until 18.00pm every day Mon to Sun and bank holidays but is free overnight after 18.00pm On street parking is 50p per hour upto £4.50 all day upto 17.30pm with Sunday only free and overnight parking free until 09.00am The theatre car park which is 100yards away is free all day and overnight but gets full very quickly."

Windsor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I had a great room with a partial sea view. The hotel was well placed for my visit. This is the second time I have used this hotel and I will be back."

Seafront Apartments

8/10 Good

"Good location although no dedicated parking, although the owner did provide parking vouchers to allow street parking, however due to busy school holidays and roadworks this was a bit problematic. Good communication from owner on check-in/entry to apartments. Our unit was up several flights of narrow steep stairs, and although two chair lifts were present there was still an intermediate set of stairs that weren’t covered - the chair lifts restricted ability to walk up the stairs with a suitcase safely. Kitchen well appointed although compact and crowded eating/sitting/cooking area. Only provided decaffeinated coffee along with caffeinated and decaf tea, however good to provide drinking chocolate. Close to beaches, shops and rail."

Modern Luxury 2-Bedroom Oasis in Heart of Whitley

8/10 Good

"First impression was that the outside of the building could do with a little attention, but what a contrast once inside the apartment… superb, The only niggle was the noise from upstairs. Not deliberate, just very noisy laminate flooring. Loud enough to wake you. If you are a really heavy sleeper then you will be hard pushed to find a nicer place."

Cosy apartment with sea view

10/10 Excellent

"Sehr süß eingerichtetes Apartment direkt hinterm Strand. Man kann an der Strandpromenade mit dem Auto kurz anhalten, um aufzuladen. Whitley Bay hat viele Restaurants, Cafés, Bars und Läden. Der Strand ist toll, v. a. bei Ebbe. Wir waren zu zweit. Mit 4 Personen könnte es in der Unterkunft etwas eng werden. Toll ist der Blick auf das Meer!"

The Metropolitan

8/10 Good

"A great welcome and great food. Location is perfect for Whitley Bay and views of the coastline."

Vacant Nest - Acapulco Styled - Prime Location

10/10 Excellent

"Clean modern great location"

Bella's Beach House - less than 100m from the seafront in Whitley Bay!

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely located 1930s house within easy walk of the fabulous beach. Comfortable bed in huge bay windowed upstairs room.Downstairs front bay windowed bedroom would make a lovely second reception/living room as back room is quite small with dining table in there along with L-shaped sofa and TV etc.There was a lot of personal food and toiletries left in the house, which was unusual, made it feel like you were staying in someone’s home rather than a rental.Hosts (Nick & Rodica) were lovely and accommodating and extended our last day until 1pm, which meant we had a nice relaxing morning on our last day. Many thanks! "
