Rivelyn Hotel Bar & Restaurant

Worst hotel I have ever stayed. Whole place is disgustingly dirty, room has strong smell to mould. You can also hear doors slamming and everything from the other rooms until very late at night. They do not do housekeeping, even tho they advertise as they do, and when you request them to do it, they will just make up the bed (with dirty sheets) and replace the towels, don't bother to clean anything or even to swipe the toilet or hoover a bit the room, which is fully stained and looks completely disgusting. We found the gel and shampoo with the safe seal broken and hair around. When we complained about this, they try to scam us, we got told in return we'd have to pay extra for our pet, which they never mention during booking, check in, or the several nights we stayed there. Be aware of these people, this disgusting place, and save yourself a pain, stay elsewhere!

The Rivelyn was as they say VFM you get what you pay for generally.Hotel was very quiet being early january so we suspect we got one of the better rooms 117 probably the one in pic . On opening door i was taken aback by size of bed it was huge 7foot wide room was large and spacious with a bathroom with large walk in shower wc and sink with illuminated mirror above .Lots of drawer space 14 large drawers and a walk in wardrobe with loads of space. Largish tv on wall . Tea and coffee making facility and a hairdryer in one of drawers. decoration was pleasant not posh by any means but being a budget hotel it was adequate.Clean and bed was very comfortable.Lift to all floors although it was the smallest lift i ever saw (3 person ) or me and one other.Breakfast was fantastic on two occasions lots of content as much tea coffee and juice as you wanted for £1.50 breakfast varied dependant on size but mega was less than £10 including drinks 3 bacon 3 sausage 3 fried bread eggs beans tomatoes .on the last day breakfast was dire same amounts but foods all different temperature ranging from Mushrooms being stone cold to Eggs being warm enough ,sausage beans and toms barely warm and waited well over 20 mins even though only us and one other chap being served, Fantastic breakfast was a lady the dire example was a youngish chap . Staff generally very good bar staff in particular (Emma) i think Hotel is just out of town a 5-10 minute walk dependant on fitness of the walker .In a good spot i feel fairly handy for the Port a 5 min walk and bus to whitby was 10 mins .Would i stay again ? Most definitely .Hotel has scaffolding all round as refurb ongoing .

We normally stay here but alas a lot of refurbishment was going on so we will have to wait till next year. But good news the public bar was still open so we were able to join the friendly staff and customers for drinks and a bar meal. We will be returning.
