    Our first room was cold due to the wooden floors and the bed was very very uncomfortable and rusty.

    We booked a standard room however when we got the the best was rusty and the mattress was so uncomfortable. We asked at the front desk if we could upgrade our room and the lovely desk person upgraded us to a penthouse complimentary! Loved the jacuzzi bathtub and the little fireplace

    The noise from window, I understand its on a busy street but windows wernt sealed or closed properly. . Room very cold, heater didn't get hot/work . Nor did fireplace as air was colsd by the time it reached bed area Draughty so door was tapping all night. Only a small amount of toilet roll when we arrived (qusrter of a roll) all in all I would stay again if minor things were fixed.

    The great central location pillows on bed were very comfortable. Great value for money for a night out. Somewhere to rest your head. Clean enough Check in was great and staff were friendly Vending machine ok but could of had more variety Fab base for Hull would stay again we had a night out.

    Receptionist tried to charge me even though I'd paid in advance. No apology once he'd realised his error.

    Right next to the train station and a stone's throw away from the city centre.

    The side panel of the bath was falling off. The grout was old (tiled floor) and needed turning white again. The bed and the couch was hard and uncomfortable, but that could just be because we use memory foam (the bed was springs) and our couch is feather padded (cheap leather look hotel couches that are hard to sit on). Overall the hotel was nice once, it is not in its prime and could use a refurb to bring it back to life.

    The jacquzi bathtub was amazing. Water pressure was spot on and the tub was both wide and comfortable. Staff were pleasant and easy to talk to. The marble staircases are spectacular and whisper of times past when the hotel was at its peak.

    Could do with bigger mugs for tea and coffee. The room seemed very warm even though the heating wasn't on. This didn't affect my sleep though and better than being cold.

    It seemed a bit run down and not so well maintained. There was also a fair bit of noise from the corridors and other hotel guests that made it difficult for my partner to sleep.

    The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable.
