Doubletree By Hilton Hull

The hotel is easy to locate, close to a shopping centre. the check in process was easy, efficient and clear. also loved the fact we got a free late check out. the room was beautiful and clean and i loved the mirror in the bathroom so much i’m buying one for my room! perfect for getting ready for a night out. we then went to the bar upstairs and was served by a lovely young man, didn’t catch his name, but he made us some lovely cocktails couldn’t fault them. love that breakfast was till 11 too on weekends. we went down the breakfast was beautiful, so much variety and it was lovely. staff was friendly too!

the room we stayed in had a loud fan noise. if it hadn’t have drank a bit i would have found it really annoying to try sleep with.

The welcome from the check-in was very good. We had come by train so it's often difficult to not arrive a little before the due time. However, there was none of this " sit over there til 3pm" that we have experienced elsewhere. And on top of that we got hot coolies to take to the room, just what we needed after a long train journey. All the staff were so considerate, polite and efficient whether it be those at breakfast or those cleaning our room. The lifts were ultra fast. The breakfast buffet was one of the best of that style we have come across.

Not a lot you can do about the look of the building from the outside, not my favourite architectural design. The cost had gone up a lot. In 15 months since we had last booked, subsequently 'postponed' to last week, the cost had risen over 50% from £388 to £592.

We stayed in a one bedroom suite which was a great size (especially having a pushchair etc.) The living area of the room gave our little one plenty of room to crawl around and play, the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast (Buffet style) was good although some of the food had perhaps been sat for a bit too long but this was possibly down to it being quite quiet when we were eating, overall good and plenty of options to choose from, again great for kids who might be a bit picky!

There was a lack of a minifridge which would have been handy for us given we needed to keep milk & food etc. for our baby. There was also some sort of function or wedding taking place at the hotel during our stay which although it didnt really impact us was clearly heard and felt within our room (noise of music and furniture within the room vibrating) this may be due to our room being on the 2nd floor but it would perhaps have been a good idea to inform guests of potential disruption, again though this didnt affect us too much so not a major issue.

lovely hotel inside and rooms very nice size

having to walk out through the street to get to reception from my car , didn’t feel safe as a woman if I was on my own . surely I could have entered at the back of the hotel from the car park . due to this I won’t be staying at this hotel again . it needs to be explained to people staying when booking , especially females as it’s not safe getting into the hotel . I felt quite uptight about it at the time and asked staff , but didn’t get a proper answer . I look forward to hearing your reply . I’ve never stayed anywhere where you have to walk the streets to enter hotel from a car park at the back without an entrance, very strange 🤔😢

The Staff were amazing. On arrival we were made very welcome by Myra and Jayden with lovely freshly baked cookies. The rooms were very comfortable and a good size. And very comfy large bed and a fabulous walk-in shower. The Main bar was lovely, airy, modern and there we got looked after by more amazing staff. Matthew, Sara and Lisa was so friendly, fun and helpful. Breakfast was greeted by the lovely Nigel and waiting staff were so attentive. I must say it was a lovely selection at the buffet for veggies like myself! it was a pleasure to chat with Andrew the bars Manager. Its wonderful to see how much he takes pride in his work and team. I must admit that i do travel alot and left the hotel feeling like friend not just a guest. A lovely 3 days spent here and shall be be back. thank you to all the team.... well done! Karen (Spain)

everything was lovely.

The welcome from the staff was amazing, incredibly helpful and welcoming when we arrived and throughout stay. The hotel is incredibly well situated within hull and in the standard of the hotel is expectational, great lounge and bar areas. Staff service was outstanding and all very helpful. Great bedrooms, really lovely and large, you don't feel like you are on top of each other and the bed is very comfortable.

The hotel has a car park, but there is no internal link from the hotel to the car park so a bit of a walk and there really isnt any suitable place to park outside and drop off your luggage. it would make it so much easier to have an internal link.

The bedroom was bright and specious. The bathroom, Coffee/tea, ironing facilities were fantastic. The room was very clean except the Note Pad next to head bed had a bit of dust on it.

Entering the car park is tricky. There is no information or direction for entering the car park. Guests should be informed to drive the car close to the gate for the electric gates to open. A basher between the carpark and the reception is necessary to ease communication.

Breakfast was exceptional. Staff worked as a team and were friendly and professional. Room was modern, everything in good order and housekeeping standards exceptional.

From reception (check in) to bar staff, all very helpful and couldn't do enough especially a floor manager called Natalie 5* Room well equipped from extra seating to full range of shampoo/conditioner/body wash and lotion. Rooms and surrounding very quiet with no disturbances.

Unable to use roof top facilities due to outside party, when this is a well recommended area to use especially when a paying guest. Small area should be saved for hotel guests. Partner when getting ready found nowhere to put hairdryer/straighteners as only 1 mirror situated away from sides or table. No instructions for heating/A/C remote and found room of a warm standard but suitable. Shower cable very stiff and once turned on found shower head turned under pressure which leaked on floor to side of toilet.

Really helpful staff - nothing was too much trouble. Central location with easy walkable access to most areas of the city and secure parking immediately behind the hotel. Check-in was seamless and the staff very professional and friendly, which gave a good impression of what was to come. It was also a lovely touch to provide fresh baked cookies to take to our room on arrival. The rooms are smart, clean and well laid out and we didn't experience any noise during our stay which was wonderfully peaceful. Housekeeping was excellent - I requested synthetic pillows as an alternative to the feather ones and they were left in our room ready for our return the same afternoon. Loved that there was a proper magnifying mirror provided in the bathroom and the towels were really good quality. It was very convenient having a good restaurant (Marco Pierre White) on site with the wonderufl rooftop cocktail bar upstairs too, as we didn't have to even leave the hotel for a night out with friends! Food was generally good, though my macaroni cheese was rather bland if I'm honest. Another evening we ordered room service dinner - fish and chips - it arrived within about 20 minutes, piping hot and delicious. Very efficient! Checkout was a very civilised 11am so we were able to enjoy a late breakfast. This was a buffet style affair - well organised, plentiful and delicious with healthy options available. Well done to all the team in Hull and many thanks for looking after us so well. All in all a lovely stay and we would definitely recommend and stay again. :-) Marc & Jane

Nothing we didn't like - it would have been great to have a bath in the bathroom as well as a shower but this wasn't a problem.
