The Whittington and Cat

Great stay in good location for marina area. Love this gem of a small hotel. It has character and is very well run.

Clean and homely. An absolute pleasure to stay here, even if only for the one night. I've previously stayed at the Hilton across the other side of the city centre but I'll definitely be staying here instead from now on. Loved it.

Very friendly and welcoming hotel with great individualistic decor, well furnished and appointed rooms, and nice local walks around the marina and into central Hull. Really pleasant stay in an individual hotel that was such a difference from the soulless big branded hotels. Comfortable bed, great shower, plenty of room. Refreshments including bottled water were a nice touch. Hotel is about a 15 minute pleasant walk to the Connexin Live Centre and onwards to central Hull. Free car parking in the retail park next to the hotel when you register for the room, and parking extends to midnight on the day you check out. Excellent and reasonably priced meals in the pub area on the ground floor. Local Gregg’s about a minute away for an inexpensive and tasty breakfast. Electronic key access to the hotel out of hours. The staff were really friendly and helpful on my first business visit to Hull. The only downside was the extended roadworks complicating access to the retail park. Strongly advised to follow the advice of the Whittington and Cat team, and also follow signs for the Holiday Inn.

Check-in was smooth and friendly. Our room very clean and tidy, with everything we needed for a one night stay. This is a bed-only hotel, no breakfast. It’s situated very close to the old city centre and offers great value stays. Be aware the directions the hotel sends you are relevant if you are approaching Hull from the North. There are major roadworks in that part of town which make actually getting to the hotel difficult.

I booked 2 rooms for ourselves and friends to see the War of the Worlds at Hull. The location was fantastic - just across the road and a 10 minute walk to Hulls old town. The facilities were outstanding. I have very rarely come across a property where you could genuinely say it was possible to eat off the floor but this property did it. After check in we met up with our friends and the first thing we said to each other was 'you could eat off any surface'. The whole place was pristine. The second thing we said was the beds were so comfy. Next -the staff. They were top notch, friendly, professional and willing to go the extra mile for the guests. When we arrived back after the show we had a couple of drinks in the bar and were made very welcome despite the late hour. We booked a table for lunch the following day and were allowed to stay in our rooms till the pub opened for lunch ( this was really convenient for us as my partner is disabled and was feeling shattered after the concert). The food was loverly, freshly cooked, tasty and very good value - we got the last table for 12.00 noon and all time slots were booked up after that. The Whittington and Cat will now be our goto accommodation when staying in Hull. Highly recommended.

Great place parking is in the retail park next door
