I had the pleasure of staying at the gilson hotel for one night while staying in hull with business. I'm glad it was only one night that I stayed there. Hotel seemed in need of redecorating when we first arrived, there was a very small car park which was a tight squeeze with all the vans already in it. The... More

I found the hotel clean and obviously in the process of being refurbished. The linen was clean, bathroom clean and tidy. The staff were helpful, minor problem with my booking being sorted out in a few minutes. They stored my big luggage when I went on a short trip to Scotland. So what if one of the lights didn't work,... More

Couldn't park anywhere so parked at the train station. Full of drunks, stunk of weed. Room was cold, dirty and smelly. Bathroom was mouldy. Window was duct taped in. Beer watered down. Threatened to leave, got offered a better room, which was worse than the first. The lift is knackered. Next time I book anywhere I'll check reviews More

After eventually getting someone at reception obtained room key (access to room with key very difficult) Room however was clean and beds were comfortable apart from having to ask for milk at reception and only sky news obtainable on...

I would think about reading some of the reviews below before staying in this hotel.obviously you can't expect much for 30 pound per night but I would of felt safer in a tent. Myself and my family booked the hotel for 1 night after going to a wedding,as you pull up out side the hotel the first challenge is parking... More

We booked a double room and a twin room online but when we arrived it turned out it was two double rooms, and our teenage kids didn't want to share a bed. The website said it had parking but we couldn't get parked and didn't want to leave our hire care in a nearby backstreet as recommended at reception. There... More

I have read all the reviews and was expecting a real dump but this is not so, admittedly the car parking is not the best but the staff are friendly, the beer cheap and the food properly cooked and good value for money! What people have to remember is that this a city centre hotel for bargain basement money! No... More
