Host & Stay | Apartment One, Hudsons Yard House — Guest Reviews

The flat was exactly as described — we had a lovely time and would definitely visit again. The location is ideal: very central, close to shops and restaurants, and Whitby is extremely dog-friendly. Everything is within easy walking distance. A few suggestions to improve the stay: the TV would benefit from a swivel bracket, and more comfortable seating for four would make a big difference. Sitting on dining chairs or stools without a backrest in the evening isn’t ideal, especially for elderly guests The second bedroom could use a 2nd small bedside table for charging phones and bedside light The property could also do with a bit of a freshen up the paintwork — the carpets would benefit from a deep clean, and the damaged coffee table should be replaced. Lastly, the glazed bedroom door is an unusual touch — good for getting light into the dark hallway but not ideal for privacy. Not everyone that books will be related Maybe add a blind ?

Great location, accommodation tired with faulty appliances and needing TLC. Positive: 1. Excellent location 2. Kitchen immaculately clean 3. Mattress and pillows comfy 4. Spacious and plenty of room 5. Nice shower and plenty of hot water for 3 people Negative: 1. The blinds in the master bedroom don’t close properly and lets in too much light. In fact all blinds are broken and don’t work properly. 2. The washing machine doesn’t work and no power. 3. Mould in the bathroom because the bathroom extractor fan is broken and doesn’t work. 4. Smell of dog throughout. 5. The entrance communal hallway is smelly and dirty and never been cleaned in months. 6. Dust everywhere including the blinds, the skirting boards and some work surfaces. 7. The bed in the master bedroom is incredibly squeaky and noisy. Even to slightly move. The 2nd bedroom is better. 8. Can’t make sense of the vertical glass pane in the door of the master bedroom. It lets in light and there is no privacy as the glass isn’t frosted. 9. The television should be on a swivel so it’s impossible to watch from the couch. 10. The living room doesn’t look like the pictures. There is only 1 orange couch, not the grey one. Also the dining table doesn’t have the benches, there is only 2 chairs for 2 people. 11. The coffee table is battered with it peeling. The reviews have stated this for a number of years. It doesn’t affect the function but is tired. 12. Generally, the whole accommodation is tired and needs painting throughout. 14. Lightbulb not working in the 2nd bedroom on the lamp.

Great location, lack of parking, apartment and furnishings need some tlc. Positive: The location was central, good for everything we needed to see and do. Negative: It was a bit tired & scruffy outside of the kitchen / living room area unfortunately. Standing Lamp not working in one of the bedrooms Could open windows but they would not stay open Property Smelly like wet dog / pets Ad suggests parking but we had to park a mile from property as on street parking is very limited, not ideal if you have luggage Blinds in both bedrooms need repair / maintenance Plates chipped All walls need a fresh coat of paint/tlc Beds squeak every time you move, just outdated/cheap

A beautiful property needing a few extra personal touches Positive: It’s a lovely property, great location and fab the dog could be with us. Negative: It’s missing those little personal touches: nice tea and coffee, some biscuits etc. The flat could do with a deep clean as there were stains in the carpets and old furniture unclean. We couldn’t open the kitchen windows and the WiFi information was completely wrong so I had to get in touch to ask what it was.

Great stay here with my family, thank you for being such a great host. Communication was fab, location and home information details were very accurate. Clean and tidy, just as described. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you !

We had a lovely weekend in Whitby. The flat was easy to find, very clean, modern and spacious (there were 4 of us and a dog). Communication with the host was great - always kept us updated. The flat is within easy walking distance to shops, bars, seafront. The only improvement would be more cutlery - two of us had to eat our fish and chips with a spoon! Other than that, everything was perfect and we would certainly come back again.

Lovley stay peaceful excellent location lots to do central over all Lovley apartments Positive: Location was excellent property was very nice and clean Negative: Small things no extra toilet rolls due to Xmas closing this was a small problem no real cleaning materials left to clean down work tops ect floor no mop or vacuum

Positive: First impressions was good Negative: All the deep dust mould in the shower which was no good for 2 guest that have chronic chest problems

Good for a short stay , think the apartment main living area might be a bit small if 2 couples staying Positive: Good location Negative: Beds quite uncomfortable

Good value clean spacious accommodation Positive: Spacious, clean, everything we needed. Negative: Up a short but steep hill

Decent area, quiet, comfy and clean. Close to all amenities, pubs Negative: Blinds not working properly (broken cords) Poor kitchen utensils, two out of four knives broken, not enough tea spoons, washing left in washer. Not enough cupboard or clothing hanging space

Lovely apartment Positive: Fantastic location, right near the centre of town, making everything easy to get to. The property is clean and modern with all the appliances you will need. A lovely big power shower cubicle makes for a luxury after walking up and down hills all day and climbing the 199 steps to the Abbey Negative: It was a tad expensive and with it being near The Little Angel pub, closing time got a bit noisy so if you're planning an early night you may be woken up

The overall property was comfortable within Whitby town, the apartment could do with a bit of care. Positive: Well marked key safe, clear instructions for use Negative: The property needs a little work The blind in the main sitting area was broken Some of the crockery was chipped, only three cereal bowls, properly sleeps four, only two knives for eating available. One of the burners on the gas hob were not working. Currently does not lend itself to self catering. There is also some water leakage around the shower base If the above was rectified this property would be excellent value and a very clean and comfortable place to stay

Great little find for a perfect weekend stay Positive: Very central. Clean and everything we needed

Thoroughly recommended Positive: Location, size,

lovely apartment, great place to stay in and explore the town

Whitby apartment Positive: The location was right in the middle of town just a couple of minutes walk from the bridge. We would definitely consider staying here again. Negative: The only minor faults were the cutlery and crockery were below par and the sitting room blinds had opening issues, none of which detracted from our stay and we would definitely consider staying here again .

Location Location Positive: Comfortable beds warm and Clean. Negative: WiFi difficult to access

Perfect central location Positive: Fabulous apartment. Perfect location Clean

Brilliant comfy apartment Positive: The property was lovely and clean, perfect location, apartment is very modern. This is the second time we have stayed here and will definitely book again. Negative: Just a tiny thing in the kitchen, there was only 1 baking tray and not enough knifes for 4 people, a minor thing but didn’t impact the apartment at all.

Perfect location, well equipped, good mattresses and nice pillows.

Great location in a beautiful place Positive: The location was great and the property had everything we needed. Negative: N/A we got what we paid for!

Excellent location, local parking very close, very quiet at night, will definitely book again.

Positive: Excellent location

Enjoyable stay Positive: Modern clean apartment with good facilities for cooking. Everything you needed for our mini break away Negative: Parking was not good does not state when booking . Had quite a walk towards the centre of town to park.

Comfy, Clean and ideally located Positive: This was an Ideally located apartment for us. It was clean and modern and we had a lovely stay. The sofa and the beds were very comfy and the kitchen appliances were much higher quality than the ones in an average holiday let. There’s a dishwasher and washing machine. Thank you, we had a lovely stay and would definitely book again :) Negative: Seagulls and people walking past were very noisy but that can’t really be helped.

Overall Stay: Mixed Experience The apartment is in a fantastic location - super convenient for local shops and just a short walk to the promenade. The beds were also very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. However, the layout is awkward, particularly in the living room where you can’t easily see the TV from the sofa. The main issue was cleanliness and maintenance. The space feels tired, dusty, and in need of a deep clean. The bathroom was disappointing, with hairs on the tiles, areas of mould, and no extractor fan. There were also safety and functional issues: • Broken blinds in the bedroom • Extremely stiff sash window in the main bedroom that requires huge effort to open and won't stay up, posing a safety risk in a fire. Not a bad stay overall, but we wouldn't return unless cleanliness and maintenance improve.

very comfortable good amenities Positive: the key code box is not staight forward and we had to call host and stay additionally a new geust was trying to get into aapprtment next too ours and also had trouble getting the key out of the code box Negative: shower blocked but host and stay sent maintenance man we were useing shower gel and shampoo so I dont know how it blocked????????? the washing machine was not working

Nice and central, spacious pad which served us well for the day.

Get away in whitby Positive: Great location. Excellent apartment had everything you need for a week away. Even though we were only there for 1 night we will book again for longer. Negative: Only thing that needs work is the shower needs unblocking the water fills up too fast and maybe a T.V in bedroom. Other that everything else was great.

Positive: Communication from the host was very good, great location, very comfortable and clean, would definitely recommend to others.

Great flat, in a central location in Whitby. There was an issue with sewage smells in the alleyway and the bathroom, the hosts were notified and responded well.

A great place to stay in the heart of Whitby. Near to restaurants and the beach . Lovely walks to nearby places. The apartment was very clean and the host was very responsive. We have had a lovely few days there .

Amazing location, managed to park free top of Chubb Hill Road. Bedding clean but metal beds a bit squeaky and internal bathroom smelled musty.

Comfy beds nice to chill out in could do with a little updating otherwise fabulous thanks Positive: Location of apartment Negative: Not enough large utensils and no extra foil or grease proof paper

Wont be staying again Positive: Location Negative: Lack of upto date equipment in the kitchen, beds squeaky, entrance to property dirty,

An excellent apartment right in the heart of Whitby. Check in was easy and the apartment was clean and tidy. Be aware that there are stairs up to the apartments, so just something to consider with heavy luggage. The beds were squeaky although they were comfortable and clean. There was also a pigeon nesting outside down the alley which didn’t affect us, but may bother lighter sleepers. Overall, a great stay and would recommend to others

Lovely location and description of the property was accurate. Recommended.

Great location modern apartment Positive: Very clean and modern in an excellent location. Negative: Nothing.

Had a great stay - would stay again as location great ! Positive: Lovely spacious apartment , took my own iron & small board as said there wasn’t one there but there was & a hairdryer I would suggest letting people know they are available , check in & out times were a bit late/early & didn’t want to pay extra for earlier check in/out times as thought we had paid enough , there’s also a washer in apartment which wasn’t mentioned which would be a great selling point! Location fab handy for everything Negative: Stairs leading up to apartment quite dirty & coffee table needs recovering as lots of scratches , chips in it , a bit of fablon would do the job , could do with a proper grill inside oven & some ice cube trays & tongs & scissors adding to kitchen utensils . Coffee perculator was quite dirty with stagnant water in it & dirty towel left on back of bedroom door

Great little place. Ideal location for where I was working.

great location, easily accessible. comfortable and clean. could do with extra things inside like salt & pepper, sugar etc, basic things to cook with. we go to whitby alot and would definitely stay here again.

Great apartment in an excellent location — highly recommended! Positive: I was very satisfied with my stay. The apartment was very clean, modern, and well-equipped. The location was excellent, and the communication with the host was great throughout the stay. I truly recommend this place! Negative: I had no complaints — everything was perfect.

Great place to stay in Whitby, great communications with the host. Would absolutely stay again 🙏🏽

Close to pubs/ food and shops. Had a lovely few days, Positive: Location Negative: Not enough comfortable seating when in the lounge. Glass panel door in back bedroom, odd pick for a bedroom door.

clean, cheap overnight stay with really good location. Positive: Great location, apartment clean. Negative: Both beds creaky, scant crockery, and needs a new coffee table as cheap and damaged. Exceptionally (and excruciatingly embarrassingly loud) drunken revellers arriving back late at night. Thankfully only 1 night booked or we would have checked out early. To be fair it would be hard to police anti social drunken behaviour such as we had to endure.

I stayed one of my paid 3 nights and wouldn’t return Positive: The location Negative: The apartment was shabby poorly maintained with multiple stains in the carpets in most rooms, white stains on the sofa. Poor decor upkeep, dirty and cracked crockery, nosy and worse of all a smelly dirty entrance hall.

Positive: it was clean and tidy and just what we wanted

Great place Thanks

Clean, modern apartment in a great location Positive: Excellent location within the town centre. Very clean, tidy and modern with lots of really useful touches like milk sachets/washing up liquid/shower gel pouches Lovely spacious apartment with plenty of room and light. All towels and bedding were very clean Negative: Other reviews mention the tv needing a pull out/swivel bracket and it definitely could do with that but we got round it by moving the settee slightly in the evening when we wanted to watch a film. The beds are lovely and big and all bedding nice and spacious but the beds do squeak whenever you move so it did keep waking us up in the night unfortunately

Positive: Location good nice and clean Negative: Beds uncomfortable

Positive: Great location, and the apartment has all that you need. Negative: Could be helpful to have a chopping board.

If you don’t mind dirty ovens no dustbin have to rearrange the settee no washer or dish washer and soft cheap mattress Positive: It was in a Central position in Whitby once Ed found the place Negative: We were charged a £50 cleaning fee on the final invoice which would be refunded after stay ! Well when we got there the oven and grill had not been cleaned and tin foil left in the oven , there is a bin in the kitchen but no dustbin allocated to the property !! The kettle was descaled , the mattress were fine if you like soft thin ones ! Thd dish washer and washing machines don’t work and the TV was mounted on thd wall but the settee was arranged alongside the wall so you can’t view it !! Also the cleaner on leaving the property after 10.00 am but you can’t enter the property until after 4.00pm !! Contacted Host & Stay who replied that I did not leave any message on there voice mail and after reviewing my demand for the £50 cleaning fee to be refunded refused and offer 20%on a future booking !! So I leave it up to you if you want to book

Lovely apartment in a great location Positive: Great apartment in a great location Negative: Nothing

after sitting on the stairs for 2.5 hours waiting for a joiner to come and install a new lock and let us in, we found the place to be adequate and clean, beds were comfy and kitchen was fine, heating seemed to be pre programmed to only come on for about 1 hour every morning, no matter what we did, the control panel seemed ineffective. It a canny place in a good location.

Loved it, thank you Positive: Great location, parking nearby, lovely size comfortable apartment, everything we needed Negative: Shortage of cutlery, addressed with host

Been coming 4 years says it all Positive: Location was very good. Negative: Pigeons a nuisance.been here 4 years

Modern apartment in Whitby in a lovely location. Positive: Location was great. Modern apartment with everything you needed. Negative: As you go up the entry stairs, it is grubby and needs a lick of paint. There is an open cupboard that is covered in dust with a Henry Hoover. Not a good first impression.

Great place would be very happy to stay again!

Positive: The space and lay out

Perfect spot for a weekend in Whitby, would stay again! Positive: Central location, neat little apartment Negative: The sofa wasn’t the comfiest but we didn’t spend much time in.

Would stay again if it had a deep clean Positive: Was in a good close spot to the centre Negative: There was mold in the shower

Hudsons walk was a great place to stay for a weekend in Whitby, it was close to all the local amenities and the actual accomodation was first class.

this place was in central Whitby. close to the water and restaurants. parking is a problem, but that goes with the town as it's streets are narrow and one way. this was still a great place to stay

A good location. Positive: The location was great and the heating was good! Negative: It would have been nice to have a bedside table at both sides of the bed.

Amazing flat, in the perfect place. Hosts were extremely nice and helpful. Will be booking again with them. Would highly recommend 10/10 😊

Positive: Very easy to find, close to a lovely pub. The facilities provided were excellent Negative: Washing machine wasn't working

We had a great time in Whitby, always do Positive: The location is great. Negative: We have stayed twice before. It is basic, no extra's, no frills (sadly) However, this time we did notice is being a bit tired and the blinds are disgusting, when we closed them we noticed someone has even written "filth" in them! and clearly no-one has noticed or not done anything about it A chopping board is needed The little ironing board is not level and needs replacing The picture of the internet code is still there despite previous feedback that it is incorrect, it wants throwing away or updating The TV needs to be on a swivel bracket to enable folk sitting on the settee to watch it, minimal cost The towels were hard What would it cost to leave a little washing up liquid, it's only 65p for a full bottle A soft throw would be great and perhaps save on heating

Positive: Perfect location and a good sized apartment Negative: Position of the TV gave us a stiff neck, would be better on a different bracket so you could put it on an angle. The blinds in each room didn't open n close properly and the ones in the living area were absolutely filthy at the top....someone had written "Dusty and Filthy" in the dust on each one.

Had good holidays before with no issues but this hooidsy was dreadful and customer care was nonexistent Positive: Location was very good Negative: No heating or hot water , maintenance engineer attended the property and the a gas engineer who condemned the boiler , leaving 4 pensioners struggling to wash in a small sink, relocation was mentioned but when host and stay was contacted regarding this was advised someone would ring back, they didn’t, we ended up cutting our holiday short as the apartment was cold at night and it was a struggle to wash in a sink.

Great location could do with new beds Positive: Location excellent Negative: Beds very soft and uncomfortable - need replacing

Positive: Clean and comfortable. Nice location.

Whitby stay Positive: Roomy for all of us facilities clean and well kept Negative: No parking I knew it was two double rooms but didn't expect two double beds twin in 1room would be better as I was away with my 2grown up boys in their 30s

Positive: Great, central location. Near shops, bars, restraunts & harbour. Nice, modern finish. Plenty of space. We parked at St Hildas long term car park, @3minute walk away. £10.40 for 24 hours. Negative: The security key box was extremely temperamental to open. The shower cubicle would benefit from a deep clean, the bathroom radiator was quite rusted and the extractor fan did not work, and as there was no window, there was no where for the steam to go. Only 2 out of 3 people were able to log onto the wi-fi.

Positive: Convenient location, bright modern apartment Negative: The keysafe was a nightmare. It was so difficult to open . It was just as difficult to close. Needs attention or replacement.

Lovely little apartment in central whitby Positive: Great location, has everything you need jn an apartment. Negative: Late check in at 4 and early check out at 10

Great apartment 👍 Positive: Great apartment , modern and roomy , good location for everything Negative: Communal entrance wasnt great , needs a good clean , but apartment was spotless.

Loved the location, the apartment served its purpose but i wouldn't book it again. Negative: There was limited hot water, 2 of us had cold showers. The beds were uncomfortable, not enough storage facilities, the entrance into the building could benefit from a good clean, first impression wasn't very good. This wouldn't stop me from booking with host and stay in the future, the service is very good, just the apartment wasn't for us.

Perfect location to walk to the centre - right next to great pubs and shops - would recommend Positive: Great property - everything you needed was there except Negative: Not enough comfortable seating for four people, beds were okay but maybe a mattress upgrade or a topper and the communal hall was filthy

Fantastic location- right in the middle of everything and lots to do within walking distance

Shoddy apartment. Positive: Location. Negative: Dirty stairs carpet, walls and stairway. Looked like it hadn't been dusted or cleaned in a long while. This was before you got into the apartment. Inside the apartment the coffee table needed to be skipped. Terrible surface. Worktops, skirting, carpets poor. Metal Beds frames creaked when you moved. Blinds with pull strings missing.Part of blind missing in the kitchen. So unable to open. Bedroom window had to be kept open with a pair of sandels. All in all pretty poor. Overpriced definitely. Stay clear.

The hill was too much together with stairs Positive: It was roomy plenty of space Negative: Some areas wasn’t cleaned properly stains on carpet bedding had whole in cover mirrors had dirty marks on

Positive: Location and modern kitchen and bathroom Negative: No button on keypad only a spring on 0 button we needed, had to email for help as the phone number was not available, took us 10 minutes and had to ask a neighbour to help, dirty in entrance, staircarpet all stained and in the room also, paintwork was dirty, had not been cleaned properly.

Great location and lovely clean apartment Positive: Really clean and great location Negative: Not enough seating, for 4 adults 1 sofa isn’t enough and only 2 dining chairs. The WiFi details in the apartment weren’t correct and I couldn’t get on the internet to check the guide.

Positive: Location Negative: No parking
