We stayed at The Whittington & Cat for a short break in November as a romantic getaway. We absolutely adored our stay and will definitely be planning to return! The facilities are extremely clean, the bed was one of the comfiest beds I had slept on and the customer service we received was exceptional. We were welcomed upon arrive by the host in the main pub, where she explained clearly where our room was and how to use the key cards. Once we entered out room we were taken aback at how beautifully decorated the room was, and how luxurious it felt for such an affordable stay. Parking was easy to navigate, we parked within the large retail park, this was covered by the property once we checked in. The location for us was perfect. We visited The Deep aquarium and wondered around Hull, the host was very informative prior to our departure on where we needed to go and recommended routes. We also visited York town, which was an hours drive away. Everything about this property exceeded our expectations and we are very much looking forward to our next stay! Thank you!

It is hard to name any improvements at all on this property, but if I was forced to, I would say that the option of breakfast would have completed this for us, or the use of a mini fridge within the room.

Don't expect a beautiful area or a lovely view to look out at, as this pub is in a very industrial part of Hull. However once you're in the hotel, you just don't care! Rooms are comfortable, very clean and warm, lovely shower and the staff seem mainly helpful. I ate there too and can confirm that the food is delicious. Proper simple pub food and well cooked. They even had a little folk festival going on in the pub area that night. Good value for money and a very comfortable stay.

Very slightly annoying at the end when I could have done with help taking my suitcases downstairs (as there is no lift). I rang the pub number to be told they couldn't help me as officially they were closed!! This is a bit ridiculous as the pub may be closed but it doesn't mean the guests at the hotel part should be left with no help, seeing as the staff were literally downstairs. And then they said I would be helped but I would have to wait 10 minutes. It was 11.50am and they wanted me to wait until 12pm!! Hmm OK! I decided not to wait as I needed to get driving the long drive home. Just a little niggle that could have been avoided but I guess it depended on which staff you deal with. The guy I met at the start was fab and helped me with my case despite me being "early!...

I loved how friendly all the staff were and super helpful! The bed was extra comfy especially the extra fluffy cover I slept like a baby. It was a last minute booking and the owner was so accommodating to my mum and I! Such an amazing price for what you get included into this stay. Had so many cute extras that were handy you can tell there has been extra care and love put into this place. On top of everything the food was amazing :)Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Hull and needing a comfy/spacious room!

The only thing which was very VERY minor was the shower going from really hot to cold when showering but it would sort itself when you waited.

Really wasn't expecting such a nice room & pub. We stayed in the twin room. The room was immaculately clean. Plenty of plug sockets by the beds. The hotel is next to a very busy main road however we couldn't hear ANYTHING, very good windows for blocking out noise. Really nice room decor, and an extra nice touch was the cookies and bottled water. Really appreciated. Would stay here again next time I'm in Hull, will recommend to everyone. A short walk from the city centre and Connexin Live. Really nice regulars in the pub too who recommended places to eat & visit nearby, it was an ideal nightcap having a beer before going to bed. Staff are lovely and the pub has a nice atmosphere. My only regret was not trying a meal in the pub, everything looked and smelled delicious. Thanks for having us, we'll be back again!

Clean room with small but clean bathroom, for a very reasonable price, located not far from the centre. I loved the smell of cleaning materials when I arrived. There was a kettle in the room! It was nice that the place sent me an email a few weeks in advance highlighting ongoing building work offering the option to cancel (I did not as I did not stay there during the day).

The mattress was a bit too worn out and soft (it would have been a 9 if it was in better condition). One could hear the walk from the upstairs rooms. The location is not great, but it is okay to walk there even in the evening.

My oldest friend’s family ran a pub in the back streets of inner city Melbourne Australia and I spent an inordinate amount of time there as a kid and then a young adult. It was a family run pub, it was for the locals, it prided itself on the quality of its beer and good pub food, its warm human service and, as well as its loyal patrons, it welcomed all and sundry. Don’t be fooled by the scaffolding, I absolutely loved everything about The Whittington and Cat and everything I’m nostalgic about my friend’s old family pub is here and it’s absolutely alive and well. When I arrived, soaked and walking in out of a rain storm, I was immediately greeted by David the manager who somehow knew I was a guest and despite it being an hour early he, without question took me to my room so I could have a shower and change my soaked clothes.

I have never stayed anywhere so accommodating or welcoming in my life. This place went above and beyond to accommodate me and were very kind in doing so. The owner is a delight and the room was spotlessly clean & the bed was super comfortable. I had two great nights of sleep. I had to extend my stay for an extra night and they couldn’t have been more helpful in organising it for me. I highly recommend the stay here and thank you so much for helping make my stay so good! I also enjoyed a meal in the pub downstairs, very good pub food and I really appreciate the variety of options for vegans, vegetarians and GF people! It was also really close to a Greggs which I don’t have in the county I live in so it was very good and convenient to grab something for breakfast there:) It’s a short walk to the city centre, and a nice walk too!

Nothing

Lovely pub with a very warm and friendly welcome. There was everything you could possibly need in the room. We had an evening meal which was very good, homemade and good value for money. The bar drinks are also reasonably priced. Convenient for the harbour and a 15 minute walk over the bridge into the old town. We would definitely recommend and stay again.

We had a room in the attic so it was fairly small and the only thing I missed was having a bedside cabinet as they were both on one side we think down to space.

It's a traditional Victorian Pub with glazed bricks, a fantastic Landlady, good value home-cooked pub grub, and functional, clean rooms. Free parking in the retail park adjacent to it (just give your reg number to the Landlady and you are good to park for 24 hours), and just a short walk to the marina and old Town. Good value for money.

There was building work going on at the property, and the workmen started drilling outside our window at 8am. We were warned about this, but it was still a bit of a rude awakening! If you are up before 8, then it was a quiet room.

The welcome was genuine and the evening meal was excellent. The room was well appointed spotlessly clean as were the communal areas. We couldn't fault the service or the homeliness of this boutique hotel. Although there is no breakfast, there is a Greggs next door with a full breakfast. The hotel prides itself on its homely pub atmosphere and delicious evening meals. All quiet after 11pm.

5pm check in actually means no check in nor dropping off of luggage either (we visited Hull by public transport). We arrived with luggage at 2pm. The premises were locked so we couldn't drop luggage off. Once you've checked in, however, you are given a key to come and go as you please. Smell of drains in the bathroom of Emerald room but went away if window kept open. Presumably this is only a temporary issue and did not spoil our visit in any way.
