The location was perfect
The price was good
Nice clean bedding

The floors and carpets are all dirty skirtings hadn't been clean in a while
Blinds thck of dust
Dog hairs under the cushion just wasn't very clean. All the furnishings are great everything's up to date it just needs a few hrs cleaning down and it would be perfect. I have asthma so I suffered the whole time due to dust.

Location, layout of property, cleanliness and kitchen fittings / appliances. The property was very comfortable and had all we needed for our stay. Some minor issues (more maintenance matters)

The long shelf in the lounge appears to be sagging in the middle (appears legs missing?). Carpets a little dirty (but had been cleaned)

Beds were comfortable and bedding actually looked clean. Location good, but parking bit of a nightmare to find as the 'W' zones with the permit are a bit further from the property and often full.

We have just returned from a 2 night stay at Routh Walk in Whitby. I am not one to complain but I am so disappointed with the deception of the lovely photos of this place. Firstly, it says this is a ground floor apartment, which is isn't it is up a steep staircase which my mum struggled with due to a knee injury, people have even asked in the Q+A section about this as they are disabled and the property has had the audacity to reply saying it is ground floor.
The biggest issue we had was the total lack of cleanliness of the place. On entering the steep stairs up to the property you're met with stained carpets and an awful musty smell. Then entering the property you're met with yet more stained carpets. The amount of reviews stating this from even a couple of years ago and yet the owners clearly haven't done anything about it is pure laziness. All the surfaces were covered in dust and cobwebs all over the ceiling, fabric sofa stained and dirty looking. The toilet seat was dirty and the lino in the bathroom floor was absolutely filthy, we put a baby wipe over it and the amount of dirt that easily came up from it just speaks volumes on the shear laziness and money making hosts of this property. The overall cleanliness was awful but these were the main issues. There was also no hot water in the property (luckily the shower was electric so all fine) it states on the property guide to turn the emersion heater on when you arrive, but with no instructions on how to find this. I am really disappointed with this stay, you expect more from a company that owns multiple properties, but clearly it is just a money making scheme for them and they don't care about ensuring guests have a comfortable stay. £70 of the booking cost is a CLEANING fee might I add, yet we had to somewhat clean it when we got there to make it liveable, disgusting.

It was in Whitby.

First of all the guy who was messaging me told me there were scratch cards for parking zone W in the apartment. On entrance there were no scratch cards,then I received another message to say there was no scratch cards but there was chargeable car parks nearby. Ok i would have been fine with that if it had been made clear from the outset instead it added another £20 to already steep fees. The apartment is grubby,it smells awful,the hall carpet is stained and smelly,and despite many many reviews saying the same and the response being that they will clean it,it clearly falls on deaf ears. The skirting boards are dirty, there were fingerprints on the sky box and the unit under the tv is bowed in the middle. The sofa is tiny,and uncomfortable and the whole place felt unkempt. There is a clothes unit in 2nd bedroom but no hangers on which to hang clothes and only a tiny dresser drawer that was full of make up debris so basically it's live out of a suitcase. The entrance to the property is accessible by a set of deep, dirty carpeted stairs. I've paid a lot less for a lot better in other places. Please save your money and book elsewhere.

Lovely big apartment. Great location. Bed comfy and towels and linen white and fresh. Kitchen modern and clean.
The only thing that let it down was the stained carpets and general cleanliness. TV unit had also seen better days.
Could do with a general deep clean and freshen up.
Another thing to be aware of when booking is that the property is accessed by a steep narrow staircase which is a bit tricky with bags and a dog but we managed ok.

The location is great. Make sure you park in the W parking area. The road outside is H and the parking permit is not valid there.
You are provide with everything you need for your stay. Towels, shampoo and soap. Coffee and tea making facilities too.
The apartment does need a good clean, the carpets were quite stained but the beds and bedding was very clean. For the price I would highly recommend.
5 mins walk from the centre.
Host excellent.

Carpets very stained but beds comfy and clean.

Fantastic apartment for our short stay in Whitby. Great location, facilities and customer engagement. Quite possibly the best stay we have had in Whitby and we have stayed a number of times. Best nights sleep too.

My only negative comment would be something the accommodation providers can do little about. Parking in the zone on your complimentary ticket was a real challenge. Spaces close by were impossible to come by so I would advise to pack light or use the public car park on back St Hilda's street which is only a short walk away.

Very nice place in a good location.
Could do with a sensor light out the front as pitch black at night.
Could also do with some lamps as only has big lights.
Communication was very good until we checked in and then as soon as we checked in did not hear anything else.
The apartment was freezing when we arrived you could tell the heating had not been on for days and it took 2 full days to get warm, we had to sleep with two duvets and fully clothed on night 1 as it was absolutely freezing.
The bathroom radiator never worked and we did message saying that on two occasions but got no reply.
Very nice place but would not stay again due to the heating issues.

The location was great, comfortable stay.

There was no scratch card for parking on arrival and this wasn’t resolved until the next day meaning we had to pay for parking which is a bit disappointing when you’re expecting it to be included and on check in they ask how you will be travelling so they were aware we would need a scratch card. The cabinet below the TV is broken, looks like it is missing two legs which caused it to bow in the middle. We had a toddler with us and were worried this would collapse onto him. There were a lot of stains on the carpets and sofa which would have come up with a carpet cleaner.

Arrived at the apartment and found a set of very steep stairs to climb up to entrance., used toiletries had been left in staircase. Stair carpet looked like it hadn’t been hoovered for months. Opened apartment door to a filthy passage carpet. There were stains on the sofa, cobwebs on the light fittings, bathroom Lino very grubby and lifting in places, grouting around tiles at bottom of shower were black. Finally when turning on the hair dryer there was no sound but the element inside glowed red then heard a popping noise! There was a smell of burning and it became too hot to hold! On closer inspection the hair dryer had not been PAT tested since 2023!!!!! The apartment need a good clean, new carpets, Lino and a new hair dryer!!! What I don’t understand is that lots of users have already commented on the above over the last year so why has nothing been done???

Overall acceptable. Good size bedrooms. Poor cleanliness really let's the place down. Also lots of bits that need freshening up like the carpets and flooring in the bathroom.

Place had clearly only gets superficially cleaned between guests. Badly in need of deep clean-cobwebs all over the light fittings, dusty, blind in main bedroom didn't close properly, carpets need cleaning and flooring in bathroom very scruffy. Entrance hall very messy...looks like a student bedsit with piles of unopened mail.
I don't think it was clear how difficult access would be from the information online when we booked. Street very small and no car access to even drop stuff, very steep stairs inside front door. Very tricky to get large cases up and buggy/pram access would be very difficult.

It was in a good position.

The fact that you had to buy an insurance against damage bond and only find out how much it cost after payment which you weren't able to cancel.
Also there is a flight of steep stairs up to the flat which was hard to navigate. The windows in the bedroom was very narrow and would be difficult to climb out of if there was a fire, the fire blanket in the kitchen has not been folded away properly. There is a chip in the bathroom sink and the hall carpet is stained.

Excellent modern, comfortable apartment in terms of layout, location and facilities. Generally clean and well presented (apart from a couple of key areas).

The hallway carpet to the apartment is filthy - it really should be replaced with hard flooring as per the kitchen/lounge. It’s a bad first impression. Also the sofa is dirty in places. The shower is quite weak which isn’t helped by the fact that the hose was broken and the red piece of electrician’s tape that was wrapped around it didn’t really help. You can get a new hose for about £5 so I’m not sure why this hadn’t been attended to.

Had it been cleaned, the apartment would be basic but OK.
The central location was ideal.

On arrival, there was not a single sheet of toilet paper anywhere (not great when you arrive late on a Friday night), a.nd the room was full of dog hair, on the settee, all over laminate floors and on carpets in every bedroom. Coffee machine covered in dust with one coffee pod to share between four of us. Further more no sign of parking permit that was promised, and just to cap the weekend off on Saturday night, the TV cabinet fell off the wall. Luckily, nobody was injured.

Standard of cleaning was poor. Bathroom in particular felt dirty. The lino was ingrained with stains and hadnt been cleaned around the door and bin where there was hair and dirt. Also there was a stale smell of cigarettes in the bathroom that lingered and never went away. We are not smokers and this had an even bigger impact on us.

The fact that the flat was in a good vicinity to everything we wanted to do it was good not having to use the car for a few days

The flat was dirty and slightly musky smelling. Wr got the impression that the cleaners just come in walk round and then go. The settee was stained the telly didn't work. To say it had been updated well it hasn't been touched for years. There was thick dust on all the skirting boards the carpets were dirty the tap in the kitchen didn't run hot water. The bed we slept in was broken.personally I think the company had a cheek asking for 250.00 pounds we certainly will not be using that business again the outside of the flat had been used as a giant ashtray somebody had left rubbish bags outside the flat seagulls attacked it and rubbish was strewn all over the place

Los servicios como la wifi, los muchos enchufes por todo el aparramento, la luz del lugar, las amplias ventanas... el equipo en la cocina no falta de nada. Zona muy tranquila, se duerme bien sin ningún ruido.

No estaba limpio a fondo: el horno estaba usado y sin limpiar, la moqueta del pasillo estaba muy, muy sucia y daba muy mala impresión al entrar así como las ventanas. Había algún cabello en la cama y en la ducha. Es como si hubieran pasado a limpiar con prisa. Saqué fotos y las envié y me dijeron que si yo quería podían pasar a limpiar.
No tiene lavadora.

Would not reccomend and Host & Stay apartment - rubbish company and rubbish accommodation

Wish we’d seen the recent reviews and cancelled, would not recommend, would not stay again. We stayed 28/7-30/7 but I am not able to write this review until 9/8 as they take and hold a £250 damage deposit for such a long time, I had to wait until it was refunded before writing a negative review for fear they would keep it!

As a family born and bred in Whitby, we are so disappointed to think this is the first impression visitors are receiving to our lovely town.

After moving away, we often visit family and stay in great places. We booked here last minute as it was cheap, the pictures looked nice, and it had a decent rating…wish we’d looked properly into the rating and reviews that appeared after we booked!

The ONLY pros are the location and the kitchen space is a decent size.

Here are all the cons, which you’ll see most other reviews have also stated.
- Firstly, the most annoying and ridiculous, is the above mentioned deposit. You cannot check into the apartment without paying a £250 deposit plus an additional non-refundable £10 administration fee. Admittedly, I would have queried this earlier but it is my own fault as I missed the emails as I use a different account for booking.com. On the day of our check in I was looking at how to access the property and found these emails. You then have to fill out a form and then pay the deposit and the admin fee - why am I paying you an admin fee when I’m the one doing all this admin?! They request this deposit from two weeks before check in, but this is then not returned to you until 7 working days after you check out. Three+ weeks without £250 of your own money? This is ridiculous as any checks for any damage should be done as you check out before anyone new checks in, and they do not need to request it that early!

The property was in a good area to walk into town and the beach

Well.... where do I start
The modern taps in the kitchen and bathroom didn't work we had to boil the kettle when we need hot water!!
The toilet seat wasn't the right size
No washing machine
One of the bedrooms had slats broken on the base of the bed. It was also stained!!
Pillows were stained
The bed side table had broken legs and leaning against the wall to hold it up
No wardrobe or draws to put our clothes in
The sofa wasn't that comfortable and had stains on it
There were way to many ceiling lights in the kitchen/ lounge, too bright!
We didn't receive a parking pass and had to find a carpark and pay for 2 days over 24hr period on both days. We did ring Host and Stay and they said they would re-emberse us. That hasn't happened!!
Only one bin bag.
It is such a shame that there were these issues as it was in an area that we could walk to the town and beach. I don't think we will come to this property again. A dissappointing property really. The photo's of the property looked appealing, but in reality it wasn't up to standard.

Originally may have been a lovely property in a great location, and a good size, but has not been maintained or kept clean.
The flat was so filthy we had booked for two nights, but only stayed one. Webs and thick dust on windows, sills and furniture. Broken and unsafe furniture (bedside cabinets, shelves, bins). The carpets and sofas were covered in stains, so we avoided sitting on them. Electric tap which wouldn’t work so cold water in the kitchen. The bathroom was the dealbreaker: filthy floor, extractor fan covered in so much dirt that mould was growing on the tiles around it. Grime in the shower washing away into the shower with me. Rusty fittings in the bathroom. Towel rail covered in dust.
Have never stayed anywhere as grubby as this. A shame as it has the potential to be a nice property.
Communication with host & stay was inconsistent (different people responding) and at times dismissive. They offered a reclean but needs a deep clean and some serious maintenance instead.

Service from housekeeping in regard to leaving parking scratch cards was negligent resulting in us having to pay out £18 for pay and display parking. We had no idea when the cards would be delivered as we were told they would be there Monday morning. This never happened and it was not until later in the afternoon that they were deposited into the key safe. This was too late for us to use them and was forced to use the Council car park again

The cleanliness of the property bathroom was in need of a good clean. The vinyl floor in the bathroom was very dirty. The tiles in the shower were black mould ..the shower head was again black. The need to scrub the bathroom before using it was definately something we had to do. The hallway carpets with full of stain as was the sofa in the living room.

The shower head and shower wall were very dirty and no hot water in kitchen or bathroom taps. both of these concerns it seems have been raised over the past two years and not attended to. The digital control on the taps is not functioning. Also no information on the use of the microwave that was a struggle to use. For a four person apartment there is only space for three people to sit in the lounge area. I would imagine that parking a vehicle in the summer would be a nightmare

Only given 2 day parking permit for 3 night stay, hot water did not work in kitchen, toilet seat dirty when arrived, bathroom fan dusty, living room furniture flimsy. Contact afterwards suggesting that we pulled a radiator off the wall absolutely ruined our experience and will never use this property again. Feel insulted and treated like children, did not use the radiators and when challenged back did not say which radiator and it was fixed. I think we would have noticed if a radiator had fell off the wall.

The property was nicely furnished and had everything needed for a short stay. in a really nice location just a few minutes walk from the harbour.

The only slight niggle was that 3 bags of linen and rubbish was left in the apartment when we got there and although I contacted the owners about it, it wasn’t collected when they said it would. There was also no parking scratch card as advertised however when I contacted the owners, they immediately arranged for the parking we paid for to be reimbursed.

Routh Walk was a 4star stay for us and our 80+ year old father. it would have been 5star but for the very steep stairway to the level 1 flat, and the fact the it was missing promised teabags + coffepods and needs a solid scrubbing from wear and tear.

Also the name of the laneway and flat are the same; save yourself the issue of wandering up and down looking for the number as the flat is on the left near the laneway entry.

It was terrific to be a nearby (but steep) walk to the waterfront and it is only a few blocks from Whitby's famous whalebone arch, right next to shops + pubs too.

The bedrooms were larger than expected and comfy beds. The expected small bathroom was unexpectedly echo-y and be aware that anyone in the lounge can hear ablutions. The lounge is quite small but then again why are you staying inside instead of enjoying the sites and sounds of the town?

Kitchen was unexpectedly biggish and would have been good to have had info to local grocers. There is an info kit which was helpful.

The cleanliness and location. The beds are really comfortable and the living areas are easy for relaxing in.

The area inside the downstairs entrance is a little tight if you have decent sized cases to get in or out.

Fantastic location in Whitby with plenty of cafes and places to eat on the doorstep.
Lots of space and a very comfortable apartment with great beds and a fully equipped kitchen and boutique style bathroom.
All TV needs catered for too.

Quite steep stairs from the street to the first floor so be aware if you’re not too good on your legs.

Thoroughly enjoyed staying here and it’s minutes from the seafront without being noisy.

In an apartment so no breakfast provided. Location right in the middle of Whitby so that was very good. The support staff who dealt with any problems we had were excellent, so friendly and kind,

Little things such as a sweeping brush so we could have left the property tidier but apart from that everything lovely.

large living rooms, kept clean

The apartments are heated by electric heaters. We arrived late in the evening, it was very cold, it took 8 hours for the room temperature to reach a comfortable level. It would be nice if the staff turnn on the heating earlier before the arrival of guests in the cold months. Extra blankets would come in handy. We had problems with the toilet blocked, but thankfully the maintenance team reacted quickly and fixed the fault within 30 minutes.

The property is in an excellent location, central to Whitby and on a quiet side street. It is clean and tidy. Very nice touch that there was tea coffee and a pint of milk provided

Very noisy from adjoining properties. Absolutely no sound proofing at all. When the occupants below sneezed it sounded like they were sitting right next to us. This obviously ruined our peaceful enjoyment as you could hear absolutely everything in the flat below

Everywhere was very clean and comfortable.

The entrance stairs were very steep and unfortunately there was a leak so had buckets on then which made it a bit of a risk getting up and down

Nothing

This place is really not very nice at all.
I can’t get the taps to run hot water - and as I have a circulation problem this has been deeply unpleasant to wash this morning.
There is a dreadful smell of sewage.
All in all very grubby, cold and uncomfortable. The carpets were filthy, the building sinks smelt also. The bed was awful, I had requested a feather pillow, but was told this was not possible. So thankfully took my own. I was charged an additional amount to park at the ‘free’ parking which was too far away, and on an ad-hoc set up. This wasn’t made clear at all. How can we rectify this? It was a great location - Whitby - but it needs to have someone look at the failings here. Finally the loo paper was like sandpaper. Just a very unfortunate experience.

Really great and well located place. Very stylish and incredibly comfortable beds and we spent snoozey evenings very happily in the flat. A little milk had been left for us to make a much needed cuppa on arrival. For those that don’t know Whitby, Routh Walk is just off Skinner St, which has a few lovely eateries, Botham’s (the bakery of dreams) and is at the top of Flowergate which leads down to the swingbridge and the Old town. The scratch card for parking was a godsend as Whitby is notoriously tricky for parking.

Overall the property is clean, very well equipped, and in a great central location. The bed was comfy but the blinds let light in so we woke quite early each day. There are unnecessary mod cons such as electric taps and the heating wasn't very effective. Would recommend a trip to Robin Hood's Bay.

Beautifully furnished two bedroom apartment in Whitby town. Comes with everything you need for a relaxed stay and spotlessly clean. Car parking in the high season is impossible near the apartment. We had to park at the main car park at the bottom of town for our entire stay. This means you have quite a steep climb to the apartment from the harbour so bear this in mind if you are someone with mobility issues.
