I have just spent 2 nights at this hotel. It is decidedly shabby and needs redecoration. On arrival we were asked if we wanted a smoking or no smoking room, we said No Smoking and went to the room it smelt strongly of cigarettes so we returned to reception it appeared that a smoking room one night became a no... more

What a classy hotel! Victorian grandeur, and its own railway station out the back! Relax on a comfy sofa in the huge reception hall and drink from bottomless glasses of wine and cups of coffee. Well, if you're on the all-inclusive tariff, that is! more

Welcome back to Hull 1979. This once grand Victorian hotel has suffered from minimum care and sympathy over recent years. Its spartan furnishings are cheap and tacky reflecting all the efforts of an interior designer who had a £ 100 to spend in 1979 ! The staff are woefully under trained although they try their best. It can be comical... more

Stayed for 1 night. A bit dated and needs a refresh in all areas. Room small, dated and not cleaned thoroughly. Again TV was huge, old fashioned on. Room door had been forced open at some time - very obvious from the repair. In a no smoking room but awoken twice by strong smell of cigarette smoke. Felt like they... more

I stayed here for one night on a short notice business trip and found it on Laterooms (a bargain! I thought). It is a very central location and has free car parking for hotel guests. Ignore the signs regarding car park spaces for "Ladies Only"; all the builder's Transits vans seem to. The overall feel is Victorian, with plaques on... more

In the centre of Hull. Main road can be busy at night with ambulances and police sirens. Train station at the rear with... more

Absolouely dire. Avoid at all costs. Poor value, small rooms food awful, staff need training. more

After reading such negative reviews on this website I was a little anxious about this hotel. However, my worry was unfounded as we had a lovely 2 night break. The hotel is architecturally beautiful. The rooms may be a little dated, but are spotlessly clean with Tea & coffee making facilities. Breakfast is buffet style & is plentiful and the... more

My mum and I recently stayed at the Royal Hotel in Hull. We have stayed there on several occasions and have always been fairly pleased with our stay. This time was different though. We arrived about 9pm and checked in and went to our room, the security lock on the door didn't work so we asked to be moved, we... more
