Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Resolution Hotel presents a fresh and modern ambiance, with some rooms offering lovely views of Whitby Abbey. Guests commonly enjoy the delicious breakfast, noting the wide array of options including cooked dishes, cereals, fresh fruit, and an assortment of toast toppings. Some guests have mentioned that the rooms can get quite warm, even with the windows open; however, the hotel's central location, close to shops, Whitby Museum, and the train station, often makes it a worthwhile choice.

Spacious Room and Great Breakfast

spacious room coffee machine generous bathroom
The room felt expansive with plenty of space. A coffee machine was a welcome addition. The bathroom also had generous dimensions and featured attractive decor.
The hotel did not communicate restaurant closures in advance, which caused inconvenience. I had to find alternative dining options elsewhere. The information would have been helpful for planning.
