A lovely apartment with a lovely view. About a 15 minute walk to the town. Cleanliness could be improved on and washing up utensils were missing but other than that it was really nice.

Amazing location right by the beach and a short walk in to Whitby. Large flat enough for all 7 people. VDisappointed in the up keep of the flat, very tired, and dirty. We had to wipe down all the kitchen surfaces as they were sticky, desk covered in sand, cobwebs every where! Kitchen fairly well equipped apart from the glasses that were all different and random, and a lot of them had chips in the glass. Wobbly kitchen cupboard doors, and some of the kitchen pans were filthy. Parking was an issue we were not expecting. Advertisement mentions free parking, it never states it is only for one car! And when the flat is for 7 people most parties will be coming with at least 2 cars. You get a scratch card which gives one car free parking, the other car we had to move from free parking to paid spots all weekend. Not a massive financial burden, but had we known we would have probably booked something different. This flat could be amazing… but needs some significant love and care.

Absolutely brilliant location and value for money 10/10. We could not believe how big this space was and how homely it felt. One thing that could be improved on is the overall cleanliness of the accommodation. We came across a few dirty surfaces, cobwebs and the kitchen wear such as pots and plates etc weren’t very clean. However, we are already discussing booking the accommodation again for summer. We would bring our own kitchen wear next time. The views were stunning, even with the Feb weather, and the host was very friendly and provided quick responses. Definitely recommend booking.

Fabulous views from all windows. Very spacious apartment. 5 minute walk into the centre. Heating was excellent. The bad points. Extremely tired and dated. Lots of stains on carpets Blinds in 2 bedrooms and kitchen were filthy The price was reasonable for 3 nights but in this condition I wouldnt want to pay the amount they are charging for the summer. It would have been a stunning apartment in its day but sadly no TLC has been given to it lately.

Pros: Beautiful views, situated in a great location for access to Whitby and has a lovely spacious layout and feel to it. The decor is a bit dated with some peeling wallpaper in places but overall nice. Cons: On arrival the lift didn't work which was a key part of selecting this place due to accessibility for one of our guests. I will note that this was mentioned to the host and was fixed the next morning which we greatly appreciated. Another point was that for a December visit, the heating had not been turned on and the place was freezing! It took over 6 hours to heat up and we had a baby and a 70yr old with us (the hosts were aware) so was not great conditions for them. Finally, we were told only after the first night that the downstairs toilet had a problem, making only the upstairs ensuite toilet available. We had a guest with accessibility issues and stairs to the toilet was very difficult to manage, as well as making it an issue at night when guests in that room were sleeping.

Wonderful apartment in an amazing location. Easy to find and park although we had to walk around the building a couple of times to find the entrance (as it was marked Metropole Towers and not the Metropole Court which I had expected from the address). The view is out-of-this-world and the flat has everything you need to feel comfortable and at home. Particularly impressed with the shower (I may even look to getting one for myself!) Unfortunately, there was one negative and its a shame that I feel the need to have to mention it :( but... the standard of housekeeping was really not great :( The need for me to have a quick clean and hoover round before we unpacked (although I ignored the cobwebs, I would have been there all day!) was greatly outweighed by the positives of Seaview@44 however, so unless you're particularly fastidious about housekeeping, don't let it put you off staying. Overall, it was great and thanks to the owners for a lovely holiday :)

Absolutely stunning. A hidden gem, the flat is like a penthouse that a footballer would live in. Whilst the building itself has character and history, the interior has been very well thought out with lots of amenities. The flat is located a 10 min walk to bars/shops etc. 100% will come back and recommend to friends! Thank you!

The apartment is spacious, with good size rooms, and well laid out. Check-in instructions were clear and accurate. The parking system worked well and we had no problem finding spaces to park, both outside the apartment and in town. The location is excellent, right on the sea-front and only 10 mins. walk into the centre. There are spectacular views from every room. The hosts were very responsive. The only reason this review is 4* and not 5* is that the (very grand) building is showing its age and needs some renovation and decoration.

spacious flat in a stunning location with beach views and walking distance to shops/restaurants Not the most clean, with some items in need of repair or replacement (blinds, doubled bed/matress) which was ok for a short stay. A bit of TLC would really increase the wow factor of such a nice flat. would recommend for a weekend away!

The building is a previous hotel and a stand out on the west cliff boasting stunning views up at the very top of this iconic landmark location. The apartment is large with plenty of room in the living areas to accommodate 6 guests. The decor in the apartment needs tidying with a few neglected cosmetic items needing repair. The cleaning company perhaps on our stay was not thorough as the kitchen worktop and floor was sticky. most of the cutlery and crockery hadn't been cleaned well either. Despite these things, which could be easily resolved and, we enjoyed our time here. The building was fascinating and the lift was a god send up to the 4th floor where this air bnb is located. This property is a 5 minute walk to the whale bones and 5 minute walk down to the beach and infamous huts ideally located on the promenade.

Despite the location being lovely and it was a very spacious place, the upstairs bedroom was filled with bugs. It got in the bed and inside of the table too. There were multiple bugs and when I tried to message the host about the fact that we have bugs are we are going to have to wash our clothes they said ‘Sorry to hear you will have to wash your clothes.’ Very unhelpful and feel very let down that the team did not do more to apologise for the infestation and for the lack of cleanliness

The apartment is in a great location, right near the seafront. It is really spacious and there are lots of thoughtful things inside for guests, like board games. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathrooms are nice. Lovely toiletries were supplied. Thank you!

This was in a lovely location with practically 360 views of Whitby. Travelling with friends and kids it was the perfect location to base ourselves from. However unfortunately on arrival we hadn’t been send the lockbox number and had to wait, once we had the keys the lock took about 5 minutes to open the door as the lock is obviously a bit fiddly. Upon entering the apartment we were hit with an unpleasant smell that didn’t disappear even when we had opened the windows. If you have small children you will need to stay with them at all times as plenty of the windows open fully which we found surprising being on the 4th floor. The beds were fresh and clean and the bathrooms were also clean. The kitchen had everything it needed. Parking is very limited in Whitby, we had two cars and had to pay extra for the 2nd parking scratch card. First one is provided for 2 days.

Whitby is a lovely town and this place has a great view, situated very close to the town. Unfortunately the host didn’t provide the promised parking card, so we had a lot of faff moving cars and unpacking / packing.

A great place to stay had everything we needed,checking in is very easy . Beautiful views from the apartment which is on the top floor but fortunately there is a lift. The apartment is well set out and accomadates large groups with ease, just a 10 minute walk into Whitby perfect location for a great time away

It is spacious and lavishly carpeted but needed a thorough vacuuming. The marble topped dining table needed a clean, as did the work surfaces in the kitchen and lower floor bedrooms. The kitchen floor was sticky and the microwave was in need of a deep clean. A shower caddy would help to avoid storing on floor. The shower drain is very slow running. There was dust on the mirrors indicating a rushed job of cleaning. On the plus side the place is comfortable and cavernous, the leather suite is very comfortable and so are the beds. The double glazed windows held the noise of the pub below at bay and the views through them are magnificent. The scaffolding didn’t help but that is not the owners fault. Overall we enjoyed our stay but it was to get away from housework so the praise is muted. I have two tips for future occupants, firstly travel light, parking is difficult and you might have to lug your belongings a long way. Secondly fork out for pay and display parking for your first day.

This was such a beautiful place to stay. We had a group of seven and had plenty of space; we were able to cook together, hang out comfortably in all the cozy space, the views of the water were amazing and having such awesome and short walks down to the beach was wonderful! Great stay!

Great property, it was a bit run down in places but overall a great place. Easy location for everything in Whitby. Shame there’s just one key for a group holiday, and the upstairs room has no door but it was manageable.

Lovely home to stay in, spacious with what should be beautiful views. Unfortunately, the scaffolding was still up during our stay which does block the view slightly. Builders working from 9-630 on roof right above us so was very noisy early. No parking vouchers left out and none were able to be brouht to us until the afternoon of our first day. However they did offer to reimburse us for paid parking Host and stay were very responsive during our stay although i needed to chase for instructions and key code, lots of correspondence before regarding insurance payment Apartment was lovely, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you

4 stars is for great location and space. Has a view issues. I felt the scaffolding was worse than described, really ruined the view but when this is gone will be much better. Our key did get stuck in the door on multiple occasions, the toilet button was broken and there was a cobweb/dead spider in the plate cupboard. Not flexible with check in/out. Worth it if you can get it at a cheap price.

We had a great stay at Whitby - the location was an easy walk from central town (or would be without small children in tow!) As others had stated the building is rather run down and in need of TLC - buckets in corridors for leaks and a rather musty smell in keeping with the age of the building. The apartment could also do with some updating - it looks rather tired and worn but was comfortable non the less and had plenty of space for a family of 5 plus a grandparent. The cleaning was not great in a couple of places - dead flies in the kitchen and an unknown dusty/flaky substance on the entrance hall windowsill. No issues with the rest of the cleanliness. The scaffolding is a shame in terms of interrupting the sea view - would be stunning without but we knew that going in so was not a big problem and the view could still be enjoyed. Apartment was lovely and warm and everything we needed as a base between Whitby trips.

Exactly what we were looking for. Accommodation was lovely and spacious and everything in good condition. Slight wear and tear in some places eg carpets need cleaning (few stains) and main bathroom has slight shower mould. It was a very comfortable stay and within a good walking distance to the town. I would recommend.

The apartment has an incredible view, it’s very large and comfortable. It feels like you’re stepping into a luxury home of few decades ago. The property would benefit of some renovations however it is still comfortable for guests. 2 things to notice though: the master bedroom doesn’t have a door but it’s only separated because on a different floor; the other 2 rooms share a bathroom which is attached to the other double room. The sound insulation isn’t great between the bathroom and the second double room. These two facts are less of a problem if you are a family but it could be an issue if you are a group of friends

Great stay at 44@Seaview - great location for staying in Whitby with fabulous views. The bar on the ground floor was pretty noisy on the Saturday night but the hosts have no control over that. Was glad we were on the fourth floor. Would stay again if in Whitby.

My four friends and I had a wonderful stay in Whitby. The apartment is in a great location overlooking the sea and within walking distance to town. It was much bigger than we expected and was the perfect space for us and for a little weekend getaway. The apartment itself is beautiful with comfortable rooms and great views. A couple of things to think about for future guests is to bring your own beach towels if you want a day by the sea. There are normal bathroom towels available but these wouldn't be appropriate to bring onto the sand. Also there is only one parking permit available, so try your best to fit into one car. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Lovely place, great views and parking included. Inside the common spaces in the building is a bit worn and tired, but the accomodation itself is lovely and up to date. Perfect spot! Child friendly accomodation with kids plates and high chair. Only negative would be that the lift was out of action during our stay- quite taxing taking bags and a toddler up 4 double flights of stairs! Otherwise perfect stay, would come back for sure!

I have just returned from a 3-night stay at Seaview @ 44. Our party consisted of five people from three separate households. Check-in was easy and we found nearby parking without issue. We had two cars between us. The apartment is on the fourth (top) floor of a landmark building, Metropole Towers, in the West Cliff area of Whitby. There is a small lift which you can use to reach the apartment although, like much of the building, it feels dated and looks like it might break down at any given moment! The apartment itself is very spacious and well-equipped. It is starting to look a little tired in places but it still has that ‘Wow’ factor owing to the amazing views from various rooms (but note there is currently some scaffolding up which obstructs views from some windows). My partner and I slept in the upstairs ‘master’ bedroom which does not have its own door and is separated from the rest of the apartment by stairs only. This wasn’t an issue for us but other people may not be so keen on this layout and it isn’t clear from the description or pictures that the master bedroom is not self-contained. The en-suite attached to this bedroom is quite large and features a free-standing bathtub which we made great use of! The only downsides to our stay were only having one set of keys between the five of us (this was really inconvenient) and a fair amount of noise from pigeons nesting in the roof which could be heard from the master bedroom. However, overall we had a great stay. Whitby is beautiful!

This is a very nice apartment and the view@44 was really impressive. Lots of space. The flat just needs a bit of updating, and there was scaffolding outside our windows which we were not informed of beforehand. Host&Stay manage the property on behalf of the owner and they were very responsive to any questions we had. We did not like being asked for extra ID checks off-airbnb which is not mentioned in the description, plus trying to sell additional cover. Otherwise, we had a nice stay.

I would not recommend this Airbnb as the parking is impossible near the apartment and only 1 scratch card permit for potentially 7 people. No instructions on where to park in the apartment and when I went to collect the permit I received a parking ticket !The host representative was also very unhelpful when I called regarding this issue . The third bedroom had no wardrobe or hangers in it even though it slept 3 people.
