Hull weekend
Pros:

Location, good food and drink and friendly staff

Cons:

Our room was right at the back of the building so a bit of a trek and the kitchen extractor was right outside the window. No bedside cabinets. Toilet seat falling off. The whole place could do with a refurbishment

Prima basic hotel dichtbij de universiteit
Pros:

Handige locatie voor wie de universiteit wil bezoeken.
Pub beneden is gezellig en heeft uitgebreide kaart. Je hebt er geen geluidsoverlast van.

Cons:

Het continental breakfast was erg karig, alleen zoet beleg in kuipjes, alleen sneetjes bruin en wit brood om te roosteren. Er zouden pastries zijn, maar behalve een oud croissantje op de eerste dag hebben we geen pastries meer gezien. Vervelender was dat serviesgoed en bestek niet schoon waren.
De badkamer was schoon, maar aan een opknapbeurt toe (lekkende kraan, gammele toiletbril).

Disappointing quality of hotel.
Pros:

The location was good for me

Cons:

Room 1 had a lot of mechanical noise outside all night.
The bathroom smelled and the basin didn't drain properly.
All the electric sockets and TV did not work so I could not charge my phone.
There were no supplies of coffee and milk when I arrived.
When I drew the curtains he pole fell in two and crashed down on me.
I had walk a long way to the room carrying my bags through many fire doors and up and down steps.
Neither restful nor relaxing.
