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.

Excellent stay and would like to stay there again. Positive: Location, bright, clean & airy. Dog friendly. Negative: No parking, chopping board or grater. Would have liked more crockery

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 !

Positive: Fairly easy to get keys for access and was fed was formation via booking.com and emails. Felt secure and safe. Felt hidden away and decent location. Negative: Being nip picky tbh. The bed was very squeaky and didnt have a tin opener. Having a 2yo it was difficult to lug all our stuff up. Luckily on first floor.

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

Positive: Great location. Nicely decorated. Especially the kitchen & bathroom. Negative: Coffee table & carpet has lots of marks. Mattresses are not the best. Blinds didn't keep out the light (curtains needed). TV needs an extension arm, so you can see it from the settee. 1 toilet roll is not enough for 2 days for 4 people. Stairs leading up to the apartment are really dirty. The cupboard on those stairs needs a door on. Left our blue badge, it was helpful to load & unload our luggage before parking. Maybe leave it in the apartment & let future customers use it. 1 can stay in the car, while the other runs upstairs to get it. Or, at the very least, use it on the last day to reload their car.

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

Positive: Nearly everything? Negative: When making love to my partner in both beds the bed never stopped squeaking, sort it please 🙏 🙂 get some spanners 🔧 🙏

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

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

Lovely apartment, great location, beds comfy - we had a great time! Thank you Positive: Despite the list below, which are recommendations not complaints, we thought the apartment was good. We love the location (I stayed in Apmt Two last year) and we appreciated the coffee, tea etc and our friends stayed in the one above that last year too. Key boxes can be a pain sometimes but this one was all good one thankfully. Negative: Host & Stay emails are long, repetitive and confusing - scroll way down to find "view messages" under all the repeated blurb. There wasn't anywhere to SIT, near a socket and see in a mirror, us ladies like to do our hair and makeup that way. This is the biggest gripe, it is important. You would have to be a giraffe to even see in the lounge mirror! A full length mirror would also be a big bonus and lots do have them now (I come half a dozen times a year) These are things that we think make a massive difference and wouldn't cost much to do, just suggesting.... Put the TV on a swinging arm so it can be watched comfortably from the settee Add an ironing board (thank you for the iron though, we did use it but not great without the board) Small bedside table needed in both rooms (the one in the end bedroom is perfect, metal topped one rubbish) Please put a coloured cap on one of the keys to differentiate them No bread knife and the knife we used desperately needs sharpening We were only left one hand towel, there should be two (one each) Charging for earlier check in is a no go, just send text if can get in earlier on the day (for free) would be great. Big cobweb in left lounge window Coffee table shabby and chipped, lets the rest down

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

Lovely apartment.fabulous location Whitby has so much going on . Positive: Clean. Comfortable. Great size. Shower was lovely. Has everything you need. Plus a Fantastic location. Negative: Silly really but the tv isn’t easy to watch from the sofa. But if that’s my only negative then it says everything.

A perfect location for a few days away Positive: The location was right in the centre of town with easy access to everything, there was also a car park just around the corner. Inside was modern and clean with ample space for a few days stay. We didn’t cook in the apartment but the kitchen was well equipped if we would have needed to.

Positive: Nice location, clean and spacious apartment

We did love staying here Positive: We’ve stayed here before, handy for everything a lovely little flat , everything u need Negative: Needs new blinds and carpet cld do with a clean Beds not the comfiest but had everything else y needed to enjoy your stay

apartment for 4 was lacking in seating. 1 sofa and 2 dining chairs! kitchen was very sparse in utensils, no tin opener, only 1 pan and 1 frying pan, no trays for oven. needs a spruce up with the decor, and the carpets could do with a clean.

Lovely property. Clean and spacious. Town walkable. Lots to do. Lots of bars and restaurants.

Nice flat in a great location but parking is an issue. Positive: Great location, nicely appointed. Negative: Parking wasn’t easy and there were signs of wear and tear within the property.

Great place and host, would highly recommend

A centrally located apartment with everything located just a short walk away. A spacious, warm environment with plenty of light.

Positive: Very comfortable Negative: Location

Great weekend in a average condition apartment Positive: Brilliant location, lovely and quiet Negative: Looking tired and ready for a freshen up there’s other property’s cheaper but not always located to were we like. Didn’t sleep well the two nights we was there as the beds are appalling very noisey every time you move. No parking permits.

Positive: Great location - lovely apartment.

Amazing stay Positive: The location , how clean it was and it was renovated nice , comfortable place to stay Negative: Beds squeaked , scaffolding and ladders at door

Excellent, clean, tidy and well furnished, highly recommended Positive: The apartment was the best we have visited all year (after being to Cambridge, Manchester, Prague and Berlin). It was clean, neat, well stocked etc comfy and quiet. Highly recommend and if visit Whitby would definitely re book Negative: The amount of bulbs in the main lights was "impressive", could get a sun tan sitting under them. 16 in the living room/kitchen, 8 in on bedroom, 8 in hall, maybe either a few less main bulbs or the ability to only use some of them at one time. Alternatively more lamps.

Nice location but not a clean flat Positive: Location was good Negative: Flats tired, stained carpets, marked walls, carpets weren't clean, hob was dirty & coffee table was all marked and peeling. Maybe end of season? Felt dirty.

Great location but needs TLC! Positive: Location was ideal! Negative: Cleanliness. Apartment looked tired. Carpets were stained and sofa was marked. It was not very clean on arrival.

Whitby is a fantastic place to visit but we won’t be booking with Host and Stay again. Positive: Location was fabulous. Negative: We were without heating for two days and the boiler was situation in the bedroom but was very noisy and made getting to sleep quite annoying. There was black mould around the shower tray and the upper part of the bathroom radiator. NOT GOOD considering we had to pay a £25 damage waiver which is non refundable and none of the problems were of our doing.

Overall pleasant stay but some points require rectifying, on entrance damp/fusty odour, hall carpet in apartment ful Positive: The space Negative: The boiler being in the bedroom, woken up during night

Great place would recommend and come again Positive: Great location, nice decor Negative: Few stains on carpet, could do with a lick of paint here and there, few more cooking essentials

Positive: Loved the location, the modern decor. It was so relaxing and enjoyable. Negative: Needed a good hoovering but that's the only fault. Will defo be back next year.

Had a good stay at the apartment this weekend. The Apartment & Parking was a bit tricky to find but it was in a good location, very central to where we wanted to be. The apartment was modern in style and comfortable. few pieces of furniture that could probably do with replacing, but on the whole was great. The only few minor things we would recommend looking at is the window in the bigger room, found it very difficult to open, the blind cord was also broken and the blind slots themselves were dusty (especially near the top). The Bathroom is nice and large, however there is quite a bit of mould around the grouting and bottom of the tiles in the shower. I also think the shower could do with a holder/cage to put your toiletries in for the shower as it meant i had to have my bottles littered around the bottom of the shower. Again not the end of the world, but personally don't like having to bend down all the time to grab stuff. Only minor things however! Overall great stay!

Really lovely apartment and great location. Apartment was clean but a lot of signs of wear and tear. Would stay again.

Great break away Positive: Great location Negative: Could have been cleaner

Lovely weekend Positive: It’s location, although the stairs were difficult Negative: Stairs, entrance area a bit shabby and a cupboard was open the stairs which had rubbish in it

Positive: Beautiful, comfortable apartment with an ideal location Negative: 1. dirty floors 2. dust on the furniture 3. no hangers for outerwear 4. torn sheets 5. squeaky bed 6. fire alarm that scared us very much and which we were not informed about 7. dirty and musty-smelling staircase

Very nice accommodation

We had a great stay and would possible stay again Positive: It was in such a good position and was spacious Negative: The stairs were a pain with heavy cases and the coffee table in the livingroom was scruffy

Positive: The apartment had everything that we needed ,very clean and tidy Negative: All the Emails

Positive: Apartment very tidy clean good location,beds very comfy and nice bedding Negative: Did not like the bedroom on the left to god dam noisy with the seagulls and pigeons ,and did not like extra damage cost thought we already paid enough,then no parking ,all together just over £200 for 2 people was a bit steep

Positive: Great place, right in the heart of Whitby. Parked the car and didn't need it all weekend
