Payed an extra £80 I think it was to upgrade to the junior suite for 1 night. Yeah, there was lots more room, but the jacuzzi bath was still only for 1 person as the taps were at one end, would have been better if they were in the middle. Also in the bathroom was a cracked tile, which at some point someone could slice their foot open, especially a child. The breakfast was pretty poor, I would have liked a buffet style, especially cereals, but nothing like that was available, just a fried brekkie, which I'm not keen on at 9 am. The bed was nice and clean and comfortable and the room was lovely

We stayed here last week for 5 days; our 3rd visit and unfortunately the last. The limited car parking no longer exists as it has been taken over by picnic tables for the sports bar so had to pay extra at the railway station car park.the Hotel has a beautiful upstairs bar and restaurant but have decided not to use it and instead want you to eat in the FREEZING sports bar. It used to be self service breakfast with fruit ,cereal, continental or full English now its very limited to fry up or something on toast.they didn't even have any white bread. The staff are all friendly n helpful but the rooms

Chose this hotel in particular as it’s location was convenient for nearby shops/attractions. Me and my partner came here for our on year anniversary with plans to go to the Deep and just look about Hull together. Checked in and got our room. It was very clean but not the most appealing room in the world. We noticed the walls were very hollow as we could hear the guests next door having a very loud conversation at 1am in the morning. This went on for a good hour and I couldn’t sleep due to the racket so I went to go find a member of staff. I found someone who was very friendly and happy to help

Came for the Bring Me The Horizon gig. The hotel was excellent value for money. The location to the Bonus Arena was perfect. The room was really clean and comfortable and the veggie breakfast at the Sports Bar was really great. I am so happy to leave such a good review but I hope it doesn't mean that you put the prices up! :)

Not even sure where to start here. Definitely one of the worst places I've stayed. The 'limited parking' is so limited that it in fact doesn't exist, we had to park in a nearby multi story. The room was so hot and no AC, just a beaten up old fan that was extremely noisy. The windows had to stay open as the room was so hot, which lead to a lot of noise coming from the road below. The mattress on the bed was about 3 cm thick and felt like sleeping on cardboard. The whole room felt like it hadn't been updated in years. The toilet facilities were strange, the cold tap constantly spat out hot water

It's location was perfect although there is no parking outside the hotel the train station car park is about 200 yards away and costs £5 for 24 hours. For a budget hotel you couldn't go wrong, the staff were helpful and friendly, it was clean and tidy. Our room was on the 3rd floor with plenty of room and an ample bathroom which had a shower and toilet. The bed was comfertable. The only minor spoiler was that the Hospital was just down the road so we had plenty of ambulances going past but as our room was on the front and at the other end so they didn't really bother us but you are in the centre

The incomplete hospitality tray was about as hospitable as it got.
On arrival the aforementioned free parking was not available, we had to seek out alternative parking which was quite pricey. The welcome was basic, after she had finished her cigarette break which she rapidly returned to. The room; even more basic and SO hot! We had 2 fans on the go, one with a bit of a death rattle, the windows were open to the max, a teeny gap so you can't jump; probably for the best at this point! It was SO noisy outside, the club/all night bar below had music and loud customers, the road and drivers were LOUD

Staff were extremely helpful and took our bags up to the room for us. The bed linen is lovely and soft. Fantastic bed and the towels are of very good quality they are large and very thick. The breakfast is also a decent size. You can get room service if you require it. The hotel has two bars and is very well priced. So if you want value for money, in a central location. Then look no further.

Have stayed here a few times... very basic but had large rooms and was reasonably cheap and very central, i dont mind basic, found the beds comfortable and sheet clean and crisp, yes there is paint and wall paper peeling..... but its a place to sleep, yes you may be able to here ambulance sirens, but you get used to them, lol.
my 3 yr old son loves to bounce on the beds and blow dry my hair and when we stayed there last he slept the whole night through, which he never does
staff helpful and friendly, and put them selves out in my time of need
never have breakfast go to weatherspoons its only 100

Whatever you do - DO NOT STOP IN!!!!
This has to be one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in - in fact it's so bad it's funny and I can't even feel angry about it!
Dirty, old, outdated, ugly 70s eyesore.
Stayed on the third floor and the lift buttons showed 1, 2 and UG or something similar that made no sense. I was a bit worse for wear and fuzzy thinking made me fear the Glass elevator sequence from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so opted for 2 and walked up a flight of stairs.
The room was very large with a double and two singles even though I only paid the standard rate
