The Resolution in Scarborough

Came in for a couple of meals over the long weekend. First visit both had the Parmo, one being the spicy Parmo. Both very nice & extremely filling. Second visit on Steak night, 2 steak meals with a bottle of wine for £30. Had a side order of garlic king prawns which were very nice with the perfectly cooked steaks. The Resolution is consistently good value for money & the staff are great, you can always have a laugh with them.

Visited the restaurant twice for lunch, very reasonably priced - great food, friendly staff and good service. Place very clean with lovely decor and an amazing fish tank - would highly recommend. Did not stay in hotel but looked nice.

Eaten at the Resolution many times before when staying in Whitby. Popped in for a meal with friends, we all had steak which was cooked just right & very enjoyable. Friendly efficient staff, reasonable prices, good food & pleasant surroundings. We were eating & drinking for quite a while but staff didn't hurry us even though we may of been a bit boisterous. Glad to see they cater for the kiddies including pictures & pencils for colouring. Will be back if they'll have us.

We stopped in here for a late lunch. The menu sounded great but when our food came up the dumb waiter, the bar tender gave it away to someone at the bar saying that it was going spare. We noticed it was exactly our order that hadn't arrived yet so we said something. They barely said that they were sorry and had to watch two guys eat our lunch while we waited for it to be made again. Awful service.

Came here on a Saturday and got the parmo offer. Coming from Teesside we ordered the standard. Prices were average and the food came fast. Presented really well and the chips were amazing. The parmo tasted fishy but I suppose were in Whitby so couldn’t complain! Amazing atmosphere inside and decor looked well. Loved the tropical fish tank!

Chicken Parmo was divine and the cheesecake was the nicest I have ever eaten. Presentation was fantastic, taste incredible and the service was without fault. Would highly recommend

Fab breakfast fresh coffee and hot cooked with food reasonably priced in a good atmosphere. I liked the beans being served in a little copper pan so they didn't flood the plate and everything on it!

We booked a meal, we went to the bar , then to go sit down, Their was a menu so we ordered. I had the ploughman’s it was lovely, I wasn’t able to eat it all !! My friend had the stuffed Pepper and onion rings they were lovely ,I would eat their again.the staff

The menus are cute and entertained my offspring! Has fascinating fish - a wide choice of food We are vegetarian and pescatarian (ie picky eaters) and there was a good choice and what we were served was excellent quality

My ostrich burger was really nice and we had a lovely meal. It was well presented and clean and served quite quickly. My father had the ploughmans platter which had some lovely touches such as a scotch egg with a runny yolk and really good ham.

Modern bar with street views Comfortable seats and bays giving privacy Good range of drinks and a decent food menu Great lighting not too dull or bright

Newly refurbished and with some impressive ironwork, a comfortable place for a meal or a drink. Lovely fishtank to distract and TV too.

Poor food that was served lukewarm to cold. Limited menu and although the price looked average, the food presented represented poor value. Nice pint although selection limited. Unfortunately we won't be returning.

Freezing cold day and we finally managed to park somewhere in Whitby, to find a lovely warm, relaxing, inviting room with a view of the abbey. Didn't eat here so not sure what food was like. One downside is that it sounded like the barrels were being changed at 7 in the morning, which was quite annoying.

We ate twice here during New Year week. Really lovely food, well presented, tasty, and in very comfortable surroundings. Good to see the booths still there though after the refurb. Not the cheapest prices, but you really do feel like you're getting quality food. The new addition of the marine fish tank is great, looks fantastic in the middle of the bar area. Bit bemused by the 1-star review below... this was not what we experienced at all.

De malgastar el dinero y/lugares mucho mejor más barato para alojarse en Whitby. Solía ser un lugar encantador, con excelente comida que era peculiar e innovadora. El lugar carece de estilo y ahora está lleno de un aire de aburrido/sin esfuerzo bla bla bla.

Booked this place as a last minute addition to a trip down the east coast and i am glad i did. The Hotel is superb and right in the town so getting around was a doddle. parking can be difficult but not impossible and this was the only fault i could find. The rooms are clean and tidy and a great night sleep was had at The Resolution

called in with my wife with a view to eating but had a drink first whilst looking at menu. at nearby tables there were people eating who were a little worse for wear and as time went on others arrived in the same state so we finished drinks and left without eating

stayed one night , wished could have been longer (despite gales and rain). Very friendly staff, fabulous rooms - lovely view of abbey and harbour, four poster bed, spacious well -equipped room. Boiling hot when we arrived - turned heating right down and was fine. Parking in summer probably difficult - but so is most of Whitby then. Don't let it stop you - Resolution is very central , couple of minutes to the harbour along a nice shopping street. Good bar and beers.

We might have eaten here as we have done many times over the years but the place has changed it's menu a bit - no specials that I could see any more - and it was dirty - so we had a couple of pints only. Not helped by a couple having a right ding dong in the booth next to us! anyway I hope it ups it's game again as I really liked the food before, especially the roast in a big Yorkshire pud

We arrived at the end of the Gothsville Extravaganza weekend on a Groupon bargain deal. It is years since I have been to Whitby, and it is much, much better than I remember it. Finding the hotel wasn't too easy, but at least we saw a bit of the place as we went round again- and again. We arrived at the front door, and were stumped where the parking was. Turns out there are only a few W zone streets you can park in, but as a hotel resident, for 50p, you can park for several days- it was no problem in the end. Once you had your scratch card from your hotel. I must be honest my heart sank like a holed ship when I first saw the inside of the hotel. I told my husband not to expect much. The rooms reminded me of student rooms, but were clean and adequate, although no sea views. A bit souless. The hotel has that feel about it. Yet we were pleasantly surprised by the helpful, pleasant staff, and the quality of the food (keep that chef). We paid £69 for two for DBB, and we had a fantastic time. As I say we cannot praise the food enough-never judge a book by its cover. The average marking is for the feeling and the room quality, it would have been higher had they met the same high standard as the food. Would we go back- yes- with another good deal.

The hotel is handy for the sights of Whitby and although 'tired' in decor the breakfast was fine. We paid extra for a sea view but as this was literally a glimpse of water over rooftops we transferred rooms to one with an upgraded bathroom with a tv in it and a spa bath and that was ok. Staff were pleasant and obliging and we enjoyed our stay although there's certainly no wow factor!

We stayed at the resolution hotel for one night as part of a Groupon deal which included a 2 course evening meal and breakfast for £69. Although this seemed good value, we arrived to the most basic and underwhelming room which wasn't anything like those shown on the website. Asked at reception if any other rooms were available as we were hear for a special occasion but told the hotel was full. So we went for a drink in the bar which was uninviting and soulless. The food on the evening was nice enough but cannot call this a restaurant. The service is non existent. Tables aren't made up and you have to self serve knives and forks as well as drinks from the bar. We did meet some nice people and had a great time in Whitby so will be returning but unfortunately not at the Resolution.

We arrived on a Wednesday afternoon on a groupon deal for bed breakfast and two course evening meal, the lady on reception with red hair was very friendly and helpful with parking arrangements. Our room was clean and spacious but quite dated minus points being large gap under the door, one very large window blind missing but fittings still in place, burn marks on the carpet, most uncomfortable mattress I have ever tried to sleep on, awful view of the roof of the bar below, you could hear every time anyone flushed the toilet or ran a tap, sound of rolling barrels very early morning. Plus points clean, large room, spacious, nice clean linen, large bathroom with superb tv above the bath and jacuzzi. The evening meal I had a lovely lamb shank with mash and veg it was delicious and piping hot, my husband opted for the fish, chips and mushy peas and he said it was the best fish he has ever tasted with a light crispy batter but the chips looked amazing presentation wise but were cold, the ice cream was fine but had big lumps of ice in and my cheesecake was acceptable but clearly out of a freezer. The prices on the menu for this was roughly £35 which to us are restaurant prices as were the £10.60 for two glasses of average wine this is not a restaurant it's a bar with no designated areas for dining, the restaurant has no ambience and the lighting is all wrong and to be honest it is very dated and dirty looking especially the creased up net curtains to one side and the dusty tv. BREAKFAST!!! Great selection of cereals, toast, fresh juice and coffee, tea I opted for the full English it soon arrived but the sausage was full of gristle, the poached egg was hard as a golf ball, beans boiled to death, bacon ok and fried bread cold, my husbands salmon and scrambled eggs perfect and the main negative as both non smokers seeing three members of staff pop out with cig packets and lighters in hand for five minutes and then bring out plates of food without washing hands we find unacceptable, yes we know they haven't physically touched the food. Overall the staff were very polite, attentive, friendly. But the hotel had too many minor points that add to a major for us to recommend staying here even though we only paid £84 for bed, breakfast and two course evening meal .

Just visited last weekend and had a very enjoyable 2 nights at this hotel. Very pleased with room ( number 1 in the vault). Very clean, comfortable bed, tea making facilities, power shower with plenty of hot water. The only 2 negatives were the 2 sticky plasters holding down the steel flooring joins in the bathroom doorway to stop people catching their feet on it and we couldn't get the WiFi to work in the room. The hotel is in a very good location, near to all shops pubs and attractions. We enjoyed the steak night on Friday but this would have been better with real chips instead of frozen skinny fries. Husband had mixed grill with straw potatoes which were skinny strands of chips. Not very nice but steaks were good. Breakfast was very good. Full English, plenty of toast and cereals as well as various other options. All of staff were friendly and helpful. Not happy that we had to pay for parking at £7.50 per night- £15 all together. Normally there are 50p cards available from the hotel for street parking but the council had not issued any to the hotel. Typical especially as next week Whitby will be heaving on Gotham weekend. However i would recommend this hotel and will use it again in future

We went for two nights mid-week. Had a decent sized room and bathroom with a good view of the Abbey, which was lovely at night. Comfy bed, lift to upper floors, tasteful decor in the corridors (although the bar and dining area couldn't make up its mind if it was early Rome, flapper 20s or basic dark blue and 90s disco). The menu, though a bit limited, provided tasty, hearty food, well cooked and satisfying. Had the best sticky toffee pudding in my life! Drawbacks were small but added up to more than niggles: on both mornings I had to ask for crockery or cutlery; they take self- service a bit too far and could do more than simply deliver the plate of food (staff were friendly though); poached eggs were hard so next day husband made a point of asking for lightly done. Rock hard this time. But the worst was more serious: mould in and around the shower was horrible. There was no shelf for toiletries so had to use the top of the bin for toothbrushes etc. It would not take much to clean the mould but as the shower also leaked, I'd think more needed doing. Woken early both mornings by noise of bins or barrels being rolled outside but not the bar noise other reviewers mention at night so not too bad. Parking in Whitby is a nightmare so use Silver St at £5-50 for 24 hours but be prepared for minimum of £2 an hour in other places.There is lots of good in this hotel and I'd go again perhaps, so clearly has its plusses, just needs to tighten up on the details.

Stayed with wife on 10 - 12 October and were allocated room 210. The room was spacious and well equipped with a four poster bed, flat screen television, and good views across to the Abbey and a seaview. There was a large ensuite bathroom with jacuzzi bath and television,(a small criticism is that the bathroom could have done with some shelving on which to put toileteries). Our deal included bed, breakfast and a 2 course meal on one night of our stay. The quality of the ingredients and presentation of the cooked breakfast left room for improvement as it was apparent that the cheapest products were used. The evening meal was an improvement.Parking.....we knew this is limited in Whitby but we discovered by chance that if you obtain a 50p scratch card from the hotel, it entitles you to park in zones marked W for up to 4 days, we did this and it was great value parking nearby. The hotel is very well situated within walking distance of the harbour, the main streets, pubs, restaurants and the Abbey. The staff were friendly and helpful and overall we enjoyed our stay and thought it was good value for what we paid. Worth a visit on a Groupon deal.

Wir waren zum Abendessen in diesem Lokal. Die Burger waren schmackhaft und Standard für ein typisch englisches Pub.

We used a groupon for this hotel. We had a lot of trouble contacting them. We made about 100 phone calls before anyone answered! (Didn't seem overly busy when we were there though). The location was good as was the on street parking (50p for 4 days!). We found the staff a little distant (not warm and welcoming). The room was clean and comfy but we were disturbed by a man in a nearby room snoring all night and heard another room have an early morning shower which was extremely loud!The view we had couldn't have been better! All in all we would return and just cross our fingers for a non snorer!

This hotel is fabulous. The check in was simple. The room we stayed in was new and we were first in it. Gorgeous! Staff so friendly and chatty. The Sunday roast is simply delicious and one of the best I've tasted. Just great that you walk out your room and almost straight into the pub. No noise affected us. Stayed twice and would stay again. Love Whitby and the hotel is close to the main fishing port.

This hotel is amazing.. Our room had a king size bed and a jacuzzi bath oh la la.. Main bar is huge and sell a wide variety of drinks.. Breakfast is only 5 quid for full English and very filling.. Lovely hotel and we will be back again next year...

I was disappointed overall with my experience at The Resolution. The food is ok, I ordered the Pie, which was a pot pie with very little filling but was passable. I think the main feedback is the portion sizes are very small. It need to decide if it's a restaurant or a bar. I know the game was on but if you're going to be servicing food you really need to optimise the space you have and move the single guy along who's on a table for 6.

Stayed here over the bank holiday weekend, was an amazing location and the room was lovely with a good view of the harbour. The room was clean and smelt great. Breakfast was really good too and there was plenty of choice.

Went in twice but both times struggled to get served. The second visit there was nobody else waiting to be served but the two bar staff carried on chatting and we were completely ignored so we left.

Stayed here one night during Whitby Regatta. The room was clean and comfortable with a view down to part of the harbour. Breakfast tasty. Only issue was some noise from outside both from revellers past midnight and from bin men at 6.30am which were beyond the hotels control. Had mixed reviews before going but would stay here again.

Anyone coming to Whitby must come here. Excellent food, excellent bar staff and just an excellent all round atmosphere. I've just had char-grilled chicken breath with pea and mint risotto. It's the best meal I've had for a long time. A great place for anyone wishing to watch the football or just for a good night out

Once again on our third visit we are impressed with our room, the staff and the food. We will be going back.

A nice bar with good reasonable food. Simple but effective menu and friendly efficient staff. 2nd vist.

Our double room was huge, well decorated and had nice steam train view. The shower was sufficient, and the room was clean.There were tea and coffee facilities (which were average) and a hair dryer.The location was perfect for new and old Whitby.And we got the double room for a very reasonable price

Very reasonably priced and tasty burgers! Was quiet when we went as it's off the Main Street. It's not table service.

Called in for Sunday lunch here as it was one of the few places that actually does a carvery in Whitby. Can't fault the quantity of food and the quality was ok but the surroundings are drab and the place seems to be run by teenagers! Spent more time larking around than cleaning up dirty tables. Won't be going back.

We loved staying here, the hotel was in a great location, if wad very clean, staff were lovely and food was great. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was, our room was on the 3rd floor and although the view was beautiful, there really was no air up there. It was very warm, the window hardly opened and there was a small fan but it didn't make much of a difference. I have asthma and really found night time to be difficult. Would suggest asking for a different floor.

Smashing Hotel 100 or so yards downhill to the Harbour. Rooms were good and clean also well serviced. Staff very helpful especially helping locate nearby cheap parking. Food was really good and economical. Will definitely visit again.

The Sunday lunch carvery is absolutely fantastic. Choice of 3 meats, and vegetarian option, with a huge selection of veg and sauces. Never seen Yorkshire Puddings so big!

We called in twice at this pub and on the plus side the seating is spacious and the staff friendly but the prices do not encourage you to stay for more than one drink. A small bottle of Prosseco was £6.20, even Dick Turpin wore a mask!

Very good location for this hotel. Our room was 104 which was right over the bar/restaurant. It was a bit noisy as we were checking in with lots of people shouting and getting settled in but it soon quietened down. The room was very big with a nice whirlpool bath with a telly to watch during a soak. The bed was comfortable. There were a few stains on the carpet from spilt drinks but other than that the room was clean and comfortable.Whitby is a lovely place to visit and this hotel is bang in the middle of it all within easy walking distance of the harbour and beach.My only disappointment was that it was my husbands birthday and after paying a fortune for 2 nights and then having to purchase breakfasts as well, I asked reception if they could maybes leave a cake or something in the room for our return at tea time as a celebration for his birthday but nothing happened. Oh well, it didn't spoil his birthday!Would I use this hotel again? Probably but I will look on groupon as apparently they offer deals for cheap rates. I didn't know this and paid a small fortune for 2 nights as all hotels were booked.

After work today I was expecting merely to walk home dodging raindrops; instead I received a text message saying I was being treated to dinner. Four meals and four drinks later I can quite categorically say I'm glad I took my phone to work today- the chicken, pea and mint risotto comes with my highest recommendation. I'll be back!

We were met at reception by a young lady who I can only describe as clairvoyan because she answered questions before we asked anything. We had arrived early and wanted to get a street parking permit that were available from local shops and businesses .Before we had the chance to say anything she said do you want to book in and carried on immediately by saying we'll you can't until 2 o clock. When I stated what I needed I got some garbled explanation of the parking system This I already knew but there was no stopping her. As ther where double yellow lines outside reception I asked where could I park to drop our bags off. The answer told me she hadn't listed to what I asked because her reply was you can bring them in here. No my car is not large but I thought it may struggle up the steps and into the narrow foyer. We made oil way to our rooms later to find a pleasant enough room but with only 1 beside cabinet or lift, a problem as both of us like to read. Apart from that the rest of the room was well furnished and pleasant. We went for an evening meal of fish and chips as we were in Whitby weren't we. I got about half a dozen over cooked chips and a fish, which teased nice had the merest suggestion of batter on itThis hotel is not a gourmets delight. Would we go again. Probably not. It tries hard but there are too many small niggles.

Stayed at Resolution on a groupon deal, and bearing that in mind I thought it was a decent place for what we paid. It's basically a large open style bar with some raised seating area, somewhat tired and dusty in appearance. The staff were young really nice all pleasant and friendly. I was very impressed that the manager took the time to ring us beforehand to advise us that the football was on that night and the kitchen was closing at 6pm, but a small remuneration would be given towards dining else where and a bottle of wine was offered as well. This was great as neither of us wanted to dine that early. The rooms are upstairs, lift and stairs accessible.Room was small basic and clean, and after the match all was quiet, in fact it is the most quiet night we have spent in a hotel. Breakfast was the usual cereal or hot and my eggs and bacon were OK. Gripe well our bathroom was badly in need of some TLC, dusty very hot as the electric radiator was permanent on, and the shower silicone was thick with black mould and the large gap in the pipe work boxing was black mouldy and wood louse were crawling in and out. Although the door envelope stated a night porter was on for 24hr access, I found it disturbing that the was no telephone to ring down if help was needed, or indeed any directions if such contact was required. These flaws aside I would try this hotel again, it is central for the shops etc, and the thoughtfulness of the manager and staff were great. As to Whitby gulls they screech all night never stopping ear plugs advisable, especially when needing to leave the window open on a muggy night.

Lovely room,beautiful view of the abbey ,staff were helpful but not intrusive.very clean,breakfast was very large and lovely bar.Great hotel

We had a pleasant meal here,our starter was minimal and cold,main meal of chicken was cooked just fight for my partner,I had beef and oxtail pie in a Guinness gravy with flaky pastry,(wood have been better with shortcrust) but quite enjoyable, &finished with ice cream yummy,staff were friendly,the bar where you eat is in need of decorating.

It's a pub with rooms...... Well located near the centre of the town, on one of the many hills. No car park but on street parking may be found or failing that a nearby public pay and display, which at £7.50 per day was not too bad. Staff were really pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was very tasty, well-cooked and plentiful. The room was small but adequate, with a view, over the pantile rooftops, of the abbey and also the harbour - but no chairs to sit and enjoy it. The towels were huge, fluffy and sparkling clean - but the shower room was unpleasant with lots of black mould, and I had to get disinfectant wipes to clean splashes and dirty fingermarks off the bathroom door before I was prepared to go in there at all. It really put us off. It was very hot in the room when we arrived and we found that the electric radiator was on and set at 23 degrees. I bent down to adjust it but the keyboard was filthy. Out with the disinfectant wipes again. In the end we just switched it off. Wifi free of charge and pretty good. Huge bar, again with lovely staff, but my husband said the lager was not cold enough. More attention to cleanliness in our room would have made a big difference, along with some small comforts - bottled water, tissues, somewhere to put a wash bag or a toothbrush down in the bathroom....No, we wouldn't return.

We found the room big clean and comfortable free parking not too far away. The position of the hotel is handy for the beach side.the staff were all very helpful .It was a bit noisy at night from a nearby business.the hotel was let down by its public areas

Could do with nets or similar on lower floor windows, room overlooked. Breakfast was good, dinner enjoyable but not special. Good location just off center.

We have stayed at this hotel on many occasions, each time just gets better. They have done a lot more refurb since our last stay and it looking great. Our room was spot on and even had the view of the sea and the abbey. Breakfast again did not disappoint, perfect way to start the day. The staff were as excellent as they always are. They were always polite and really helpful. Keep up the good work guys.

Booked the resolution on a groupon, two nights dinner on one and breakfast. Great spot, excellent value for money, lovely food, superb breakfast and the staff worked really hard and were really customer friendly.We had a lovely stay. Our room, room 7, was really spacious and had an amazing bathroom. Only tiny niggle was that we could not open the windows as the room was just above the entrance to the bar and restaurant. apart from that we had a great time and hope to return. Bonus was excellent weather. Thanks guys

Called in for no special reason on a Sunday evening at 5.45. Only choice was the carvery - and it was excellent. Plenty of good turkey and beef. Fresh tasting vegetables and very tasty roast potatoes together with a nice big Yorkshire all for £8.95 was the deal of our day. Would eat here again.

Very poor. The sirloin steak was made up of approx 2/3 rds fat.Fries were over cooked and soggy. Not interested when informed of the lack of quality.

This is my fourth visit to The Resolution, a fab place to stay just a short walk to the harbour, the town and restaurants. The rooms are clean & are perfect for an overnight stay.

We arrived at The Resolution at around 3:30 on 26 May. Upon checking in, there was only one receptionist and she was on the phone making a reservation for other guests. She couldn't deliver a proper service to either party as she was to-ing and fro-ing between us trying to help us both at the same time. Once we we were eventually checked in, our key card didn't work so we had to go back down to reception which was slightly irritating as I believe this was because the poor girl had too much going on at the same time. When we finally got in to our room (205) it was a bit of a let-down to be honest. There are stains on the skirting board under the window, there were crumbs on the bedside table from previous guests, bright blue and very strong bleach in the toilet and the room was far too hot. This was not a great first impression especially as it was suppose to be a treat for my partners birthday which I did stipulate in my booking.Dinner was a better impression I had the chicken breast with tarragon sauce vegetables and bubble and squeak fritter which beautiful, hot and arrived in reasonable time. My only criticism here is that they don't do cocktails which I found to be slightly odd and think they are missing a trick but we went out afterward and found a beautiful little spot on the harbour where they did make them. Sleep wise, it's very difficult to fall asleep if your room is at the front of the hotel as there seems to be some kind of constant generator noise which is off putting and very loud. In the morning it's a jolt waking up as roadworks were going on and the windows are sash, single glazing. The bed was comfy and was king size the pillows were great and not too soft. Woke up to it being stifling hot even though we had turned out radiator the day before so the window was immediately opened when we woke up. The best thing about the room was the shower although there was what appeared to be blood stains on the grout. The shower itself was huge and was the length of the wall the water hot and the pressure was powerful. The bathroom walls were grubby and had hair on them which was disgusting. Breakfast was continental and full English. Continental consisted of toast or cereal, would have been nice to have had some pastries and yoghurt. The full English comes with black pudding and tomato but if you ask to replace them with other items they are happy to do this. Upon leaving the hotel, as all the staff are "jack of all trades" both of them were serving in the restaurant so we're unable to give that last personal touch of a goodbye. The only reason I would stay again would be because of its location, perfect for walking around Whitby and everything you could possibly want to see and do is a short walks distance. Car parking is also just 2 minutes round the corner costing only £5.50 for 24 hours. All in all, an ok stay, don't go by the photos on the website and you won't be disappointed.

Stayed here this weekend really enjoyed it. Had a fantastic room on lowest level room 3 couldnt believe it was a standard room quite a plush bedroom with good deco,like the wood wall with a decent tv. The bathroom had two sinks and an amazing victorian style bath with power shower which filled up with very hot water in minutes. Lovely old style effects which suited the building. The breakfast options are good we chose the dearest at £5.95 which was full english with choice of how you want the egg cooked. Fruit juices, coffee,tea toast cereal unlimited all in with it . Not the best fry up in the world but without doubt fantastic value for money. The bar was ok with entertainment on both fri and saturday night and the staff were very pleasant. Great location 2 minutes walk down the road and your in the centre. Wouldnt hesitate to stay here again. The only down side was that the bed was too hard would have given very top rating otherwise. This could be because i think the room as been recently refurbished though. Whitby is a great place to visit with plenty of history and heritage.

We stayed here over night last week on a Groupon deal and had a 2course meal included in the price and also a breakfast.Food was unreal. Goats cheese and filo pastry starters husband has crab cakes. Both well cooked tasted great! Both had steaks perfectly cooked and chips in a basket was a lovely touch! Breakfast was perfect too. Been a while since we both had a full English where everything was done well! Would definitely come back when we visit even if its just for the food! So good!!

We went for a Sunday Carvery as recommended by our hotel that also serves food mainly because they also offer a very good vegetarian selection. The staff were great, carvery was very good with generous servings of meat. Give this place a go as from the outside it doesn't do itself much justice but inside is very good!

ok there was problem with food being wrong. and we found the prawns in the fahita wern,t properly cooked

Huge portions and very nicely cooked! Extremley cheap for what you get! £26 for 2 adults 1 child, 3 carverys and 2 coffees, 1 juice.Only downside was uncleared tables, a tad scruffy but a bargain for a decent dinner!

We have eaten here before and the food was quite good, but when we called in this time, the bar was empty and the bar staff quite rudely told us that they ran out of food at 6:30 - I am not surprised the bar was empty. At least we will know to give it a miss next time

Stopped in a single room on Bank Holiday Monday. Very clean room. Great nights sleep...sherbets might have helped mind :-/ Very reasonable price for Whitby. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the bar downstairs was lovely and went down a treat. Well done all concerned. Ps: cracking bar with a decent selection of beers.

We had a lovely stay for 1 night in the Resolution Hotel.The room was clean and had everything we needed e.g kettle, tea making facilities, hairdryer, fan, extra blanket etc.We parked overnight in a car park 1 min away for £7.50.The bar on the evening was quiet but still a nice place to sit, although when we asked for a drink menu we were told there wasn't one and they didn't do cocktails (which is stated on the outside of the hotel).The breakfast was very nice, the quality and presentation were good. We liked the idea of teas, coffee, juices, cereals, toast etc which were included within the breakfast too.All the staff were very friendly. We would return to this hotel.

We stayed at the resolution last weekend and chose it based on the good reviews we have seen. Really struggling to understand how this bar with rooms (refuse to call it a hotel) has got good reviews. The 1 star we have given it is for the new decoration in some rooms and the fact that when we asked to change rooms (because of an awful mattress) the staff were very accommodating.Otherwise it was noisy with loud music both from the bar down stairs and 2 other bars in the area having loud live music until 11.30pm.The rooms were also pretty small with poor facilities. There was no lounge area for guests to relax and have breakfast - the only place to do this was the sole less bar with hard chairs. Not helped by the fact there wasn't even chairs in your bedroom to relax in.Breakfast was extremely basic with cheap bread and produce and no fruit/pastry choice.And finally we often had to push through the staff having cigarettes on the front steps to get in/out of the building.Needless to say we won't be returning!

Went for the steak offer that was on. Those who had the steak really enjoyed it and enough choice for those who didn't want it.

We have just returned from our second stay and have just booked again for August! Great location, big, clean comfy rooms, nice bar where we ate a lovely full English breakfast with unlimited toast, cereals, tea, coffee & juice. Staff friendly & helpfull.....will definitely recommend to friends!!

Popped in here for a drink whilst myself and husband were staying in Whitby for the weekend. Pretty average fir a Saturday night and little atmosphere. I asked for a cocktail menu as it stated on the outside of the building that they did them, however apparently they don't! Advice; don't go out of your way to visit!

Amazing food. I really was plesantly surprised, huge portion and very tasty :) I had fajitas and my husband had fish and chips. We could not finished as portions were so big!!

We visit Whitby every year but have just discovered The Resolution. We visited with our 5 year old who was spoiled for choice with the junior menu which was very reasonably priced. The portion sizes are very big and the menu has a great range of choice and courses. The food is fresh and tasty. It's also nice to eat somewhere that's away from the hustle and bustle of the main street. A great find for us and one we will return to.

Regularly come up to Whitby, and I always end up here. The atmosphere is great, the music, both live and DJ, is always spot-on, and the staff are really friendly. This is the perfect place to begin/spend the night/finish in the early hours in, and with Bitz 'N' Pizzas across the road for your munchies, you can't get a better night out!

Met by the friendly staff and given a free upgrade to the kingsize room. Very comfortable stay. Nicely furnished.

Nice hotel in centre of Whitby.. clean & comfy bed. Friendly bar staff.Please note there is no parking but for £5.50 , we parked a 2 minute walk away overnight..

We ve only had drinks in here but a lovely big pub there was music playing and a good crowd of mixed aged people they do serve food but I've not tried it we were on night out

Visiting Whitby many times we have passed this hotel many times without a second glance. How wrong were we? The rooms were spacious and clean and we had super views over the quayside. The bedding and towels were soft and white . We had a special offer of BB for 2 days & evening meal for 1 evening. The food and service were really good as were the drink quality and prices. Fantastic value so much so we returned with another couple 2 weeks later. Look forward to our next visit.

we called in for a drink on a couple of occasions and really enjoyed the place the beer was good as was the wine, music played just at the right volume, you could hear it and have a quiet chat without one impacting on the other, Had planned to go for a meal as the menu looked really good, unfortunately other half fell ill so will have to wait until next time we're in Whitby hopefully October/November

I visited here last week with my wife for some food. Had been recommended by a friend of ours who lives in Whitby. The place was quite busy but from what I could see there were 2 members of staff who seemed over run with everything. We waited a few minutes to order drinks while one was on the phone and the other was taking food to the table. We were finally served by a rather grumpy looking pink (I think) haired lady who didn't seem too keen to be at work. The other dark haired younger girl was running around trying to serve people, take food out, answer the phone which didn't seem to stop ringing while we were there. Obviously a sign of a popular hotel which makes me wonder why so little staff are expected to do so much. Very very poor management. The food was brought to us by the younger dark haired girl who could not have been more pleasant and friendly if she tried. Night and day between her and the other member of staff. The food itself was excellent. We both ordered steak and it was cooked perfectly. Will certainly be coming back. Just a shame the owners/brewery or whoever is in charge expect so much of so little staff. As I said earlier the phone did not stop ringing while we were there, and there was a constant flow of customers ordering food and drink. Far too much work for 2 people. Well done though to the dark haired girl who continued to smile throughout.

We stopped off in Whitby for some food. Came across this place. Inside it looked a bit run down in need of a refurb. However the food was delicious in comparison. The crab cakes were lovely, hubby had scampi which was equally delicious as were the triple cooked chips yum yum. The kids fish fingers and burger meals were also fab and the fish fingers looked home cooked. The kids loved it and it was child-friendly. Staff were also friendly. Surroundings and the old looking tatty menu could do with updating.

Was our first night in Whitby and we didn't know where to go, we came across this place and from the outside it looks ok so we went in. It was very dull with no atmosphere when we walked in, we ordered some drinks and looked at the menu and ordered food. I ordered a medium steak with peppercorn sauce and my boyfriend had lasagna. I'm 28 weeks pregnant so toilets anywhere are a must, the toilets were disgusting, the one with toilet paper has vomit all on the toilet bowl and seat and made me nearly throw up, the other had no lock on the door and the final one was out of order, wasn't impressed. I collected the cutlery and sauces and there were dirty plates all stacked up on the same counter, was pretty disgusting and unhygienic. The food arrived and my steak was rare, no one came to check if everything was ok, i can't really have rare meats because of the pregnancy, the sauce tasted like it had never seen a peppercorn it tasted like my food was swimming in hot cream and, my boyfriend ended up eating my meal whilst I felt nauseous. Upon clearing the table we weren't asked if the food was ok, i made a comment that the steak needed a bit longer in the pan for her to just go "ok" no deserts offered either, it was poor service, disgusting place and awful food

Really surprised at the quality of food. Steak was cooked to perfection, chips chunky and homemade onion rings.Lentil burger was tasty and filling. Very reasonably priced and staff are lovely

We arrived on a Wednesday and stayed till Friday, room was lovely cosy and warm , needed it as it was cold outside, breakfast choice was really good , and bar meals where ok too , friendly staff , clean and would definitely go again

Lovely steak, cooked to our liking, lovely friendly staff, nothing too much trouble. Great 3 times cooked chips, would recommend and will visit again for Friday night - steak night

We stayed for 2 nights on 22nd of December with our 3 kidsWe had 2 rooms they were both spotless & a good sizeThe food & service was excellent The resolution is positioned well in Whitby just a few minutes from town centre & the car parking was just round corner & priced reasonable at £10 for the time we were thereWe will definitely be returning

We have just returned from a weekend break in Whitby and would highly recommend this restaurant. We found it by accident and we were glad we did. Friday night had a fab deal on steak and it was delicious. It was cooked perfectly.Saturday night had live music which was great. We had burgers and they were amazing. Highly recommend! If you go, have the toblerone cheesecake, it's to die for!

Another excellent weekend in Whitby, staying at the Resolution.Room was lovely and comfortable and warm. Huge big comfortable bed.Breakfast was very good, fresh and hot.We had an evening meal that was superb!!Staff were really friendly, attentive, and very accommodating.Could not pick a fault with anything!!Excellent! Will be coming back again soon!!Col and Deb Nottingham.

As regulars of the Sunday carvery we always enjoy our meal but unfortunately this week it was very poor, we arrived at 4 to be told they had nearly run out of veg but the young girl at the bar made enquiries and told us there was enough for us, this has to be the worst we've ever had! what little they had left was cold and disappointing, I would suggest it would be better to serve nothing rather than what we endured. The staff however are always lovely and Colin is a top chef and sorely missed on the floor

We booked this hotel reasonably late and managed to get a great price and chose without breakfast. Check in was quick and efficient and the room had a super king bed, was very clean and had everything we wanted e.g. tea/coffee facilities. We were on the 1st floor which came with a noise warning but we didn't hear a thingalthough it was a Monday night. Would recomend this and will stay here again.

We were staying at the hotel and dinner was included in our package, it was excellent. Not a large menu but enough to suit most people's needs, served promptly and delicious. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The bar serves hand pulled ales including many local ones.

We stayed for two nights at the hotel and ate here both times for breakfast and also for evening meal.Starters of duck spring rolls and deep fried goats cheese were good but the mains were superb.. I had lamb henry, perfectly cooked and very tender and tasty whilst my partner had the sirloin steak and commented it was one of the best steaks she had eaten anywhere.. When we return to Whitby it will be highly likely we will return here for an evening meal..

We love Whitby and this hotel and the staff are why. Nothing was to much trouble, they all greeted you with a smile and took the time to talk, dance and sing with all the customers. The food was great. Steak night on Fridays superb one of the best we had (fantastic for the money). Breakfast was hot and very tasty and served with a smile. The room was clean and well kept. Only two teabags per day which seems a little mean but was our only fault find. We were told that they are refurbishing rooms too for next year. We will definitely be going back. Well done and thank you for a wonderful Whitby weekend.

Large haddock and real fries Followed by Eton mess ....amazing service ,the breakfast was great lots of choice with fast service

As many have, we got a groupon deal. I feel we have won. Large room (101), well furnished but with basic bathroom ( hotel management, get your cleaning team to sort the mould, whatever they're telling you, it's not hard!) but the food including my steak was superb!! Serious congratulations to the chef and food buyer. Well cooked, tasty and good quality. I have paid far more and not been as happy. I love Whitby and normally stay at the White Horse and Griffin as I like the food but for the difference in price I would now go for the Resolution without a doubt ( the more basic room not withstanding)

We've been coming to Whitby for years as a family and not tried this place, our loss! It was lovely, with friendly and attentive staff. All four of us had a different meal and all four were really tasty and cooked well. Although we love Whitby, we have been struggling to find good places to eat recently so really happy to come across this gem. So much so we're off back there tonight.

Right in the middle of the action. A really nice hotel. Its a little noisy in the cellar rooms but other than that a really enjoyable stay

We wanted to stay here after finding a Groupon for the hotel. Before buying the Groupon we tried calling the hotel to check they had availability for when we wanted to stay. We tried calling over the course of two weeks - trying at different times and different days, but no one ever answered the phone. We also tried emailing but it was never answered.

Used to visited Whitby a lot as a kid, always wanted re visit as an adult so when I seen a Wowcher deal, I snapped it up. Lovely hotel room. Cannot fault the cleanliness of it. It was modern yet old if that makes sense and it was big!Only downside being in the basement room, i guess we had the bar/restaurant/ kitchen area above us and it was noisy with peoples foot steps, dropping things etc. Annoying really could do with sound proofing the ceiling because that was it's only let down for me. But I guess that's the reason for the Wowcher deal. The food was great really enjoyed it. The staff were helpful and friendly. Hotel is handy for everything, a great location. Would definitely stop here again on my next visit, with or without a Wowcher deal.I'd just request a room not in the basement.
