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
