Reviews and Ratings
La Rosa is a magical and quirky retreat that captured my heart during my stay. The themed rooms are a delightful surprise, each filled with unique character and charm. The breakfast served in a whimsical picnic basket was a highlight, showcasing great attention to detail. While the lack of a TV in the room may sound off-putting, it really encouraged a relaxed atmosphere. The cocktail library is a fantastic addition, but for some, it might not have the expected amenities of modern hotels.
Our stay at La Rosa was truly an unforgettable experience! The welcoming vibe of the staff made us feel right at home, and we absolutely loved the themed rooms, especially with the stunning views of the Abbey. The breakfast delivered in our room was delightful, though I would have preferred having shower facilities instead of just the unique roll-top bath. Overall, it was a unique getaway that we can't wait to revisit.
I had a fantastic time at this hotel! The room I stayed in was absolutely stunning, and the quirky decor made it feel unique and cozy. The staff were genuinely welcoming and always provided helpful suggestions. However, my only issue was a slightly uncomfortable roll-out bed for my niece, and the breakfast could have offered a bit more variety. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I would definitely consider returning.
Staying at La Rosa was like stepping into a delightful retreat with its quirky charm and cozy ambiance. The experience was unique, with incredible views and thoughtful decor enhancing my stay. Breakfast served in picnic baskets added a fun touch, but it would have been nice to have a few more options to choose from. The hands-on service and beautiful surroundings certainly made up for it, but it would have been even better if there were more amenities available.
The hotel offers a unique and cozy atmosphere, rich in history and charm. I loved the quirky decor and the personal touches, especially the breakfast delivered in picnic baskets. While parking was a challenge, the delightful staff and memorable experience made it worth it. However, the small size of the room might not be suitable for everyone, and the bathroom facilities could use some updating.
Our stay at La Rosa was truly unique and enjoyable, filled with quirky charm and lovely features. The room was cozy with fascinating decor, and the breakfast experience was delightful and quite different from the usual. However, parking proved to be an issue during a busy period, and the shower space in our room was a bit snug for comfort. Overall, the character of the hotel, combined with the engaging atmosphere, made for a memorable weekend.
La Rosa offers an exceptional experience with its quirky rooms that have their own unique charm, and a lovely tea room with stunning views of Whitby Abbey. The staffs were wonderfully engaging and attentive throughout my stay. While the breakfast experience was delightful with the picnic baskets, I did miss having a daily cleaning service during my multi-night stay. Overall, the value for the experience was excellent, even though some small conveniences were adjusted due to health protocols.
Staying at this hotel was an absolute joy! We enjoyed the unique charm of the rooms and were greeted with such warmth. The breakfast setup was delightful, making each morning a treat. However, we did notice that cleaning was less frequent during our stay, and it wasn't ideal having to request assistance occasionally.
La Rosa is a truly unique gem with stunning decor and an incredible breakfast experience that set it apart. While the rooms are charmingly themed, they can be quite small, which may not suit everyone. The staff is genuinely helpful and considerate, adding a personal touch that enhances the overall experience. Just be aware that parking might be challenging during peak times, so planning ahead is a must.
Our stay at La Rosa was truly memorable, with its unique charm and character. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, and the breakfast experience was delightfully different. However, parking during our visit was a considerable challenge due to the busy Easter weekend, so it’s something to keep in mind if you plan to visit at that time.
