Holiday Inn Express Hull City Centre by IHG

8/10 Good
"We have stayed before and always been happy with the service but when we arrived at the reception we were greeted with a "can i help you" in a very blunt manor. when we said we had a room booked he said very bluntly that " we're not checking any one in" so we asked if we could leave our bags as we were going to the theater so he put them in the back with no problem. while we waited in the reception area while my wife used the toilet several other people were trying to check in and they seemed to be having more luck than us."

Hideout Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is a self catering apartment hotel situated in the Old Town right next to Hull Minster and within a 15 minute walking distance of virtually everything including the station. It’s spotless and has a very modern feel with all the amenities needed, ironing board, hairdryer, toiletries etc. Kitchen area has everything including a dishwasher, toaster, microwave, cooker, hob and fridge which has some milk and oat milk sachets. Beds are large and very comfy, the wet room was enormous. There are a couple of very noisy bars near this hotel which go on until late, so windows closed or earplugs (which they supply) is a must if you are not staying out late. Have to say I never noticed the church bells. Only issue with our room was a loose title on the wet room seat. There is a market next door selling street food, fresh fruit etc and a Tesco within a minutes walks Enjoyed our 2 night stay and would definitely go back if we are in the area again"

"Cannot fault this hotel, the staff were incredible and when I realised late night before I had inadvertently booked the wrong date, as they had availability, promptly replied kindly allowing us to stay on our intended date. As free parking included in our room rate, we were able to park on street directly opposite hotel. We had an amazing suite room, comfiest bed ever, the food in restaurant on evening was first class and good value. The decor and ambience of this hotel were very welcoming creating an eloquent and homely feel. We attended theatre opposite on the evening. Breakfast was excellent. Would definitely stay again. There are a number of steps to the front of hotel which may be difficult for persons with mobility issues but didn’t enquire if there is an alternative access."

"We found the apartment we stayed in was very clean and comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed, crockery, cutlery etc., washing up liquid, scourer, cleaning spray. Bathroom had shampoo and shower gel. Located central for all attractions. We were pleased with the secure free parking on site, although it is on a first come first served basis as not enough for every apartment. However, this would not be suitable for large SUVs due to space restrictions. Would definitely stay here again."

"Amazing hostel. I really enjoy my stay here. Owner Glenn is so helpful, resourceful and kind to have a chat. The volunteers Kasia and Dan are lovely to talk with. It feels a very cosy hostel, not too crowded, noisy and neither a party hostel. I was visiting for tourism and leisure and while many of the guests staying here for work or business, there were no issues. And Glenn kindly helped to sorted out a minor issue in the room very effectively. Just a note there is no stove but a microwave and a slow cooker pot. Good wifi. Perfect location"
