Host & Stay - Golden Lion Apartments

Very bright modern & airy , 2 bathrooms were really handy

The steps were a bit of a inconvenience

Lovely location and decor

There were some cleaning needs eg base of the lights and coffee table very dusty but didn't ruin our stay and the metal runner at front door was loose

Location was fantastic with views of the famous Whitby bridge. Very clean, modern and comfortable. Easy to access and great communication with host & stay.

Noisy seagulls! So glad I bought my ear plugs!

The communication was spot on, easy to follow information provided for parking, locating the building and access to it and the apartment. The building is in a fab spot in the centre of town. Clean bedding and towels, a tea towel, dishwasher tablets and a dishcloth provided. Shower gel and hand soap provided in the bathroom. Also tea, coffee, sugar and milk provided. The water pressure in the shower is great but the shower head needs descaling.

The main door is tatty and dirty and the staircase smells damp and musty. The apartment looks nice but it hasn’t been properly cleaned for a long time. Thick dust evident everywhere - on skirting boards (I cleaned the skirtings and floor in the bathroom for my own comfort - and found the wooden block support under the toilet pan!!) including dust and dog hairs on the sofa, and cobwebs on the bedroom and bathroom ceilings. The rug in the living area is matted and grubby. The water pressure in the shower is great but the shower head needs descaling. The windows were dirty although someone has had a go at cleaning the outsides of them from the inside, so only partially cleaned - is there a local window cleaner that could be employed to make the most of a good view? Unfortunately the view from the bedrooms windows leaves little to be desired but out of the control of the owners. The apartment would be really lovely after a thorough deep clean.
