Unbelievable Hull Views! This Hotel Will Blow You Away!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we’re diving headfirst into the glittering, possibly-too-good-to-be-true world of "Unbelievable Hull Views! This Hotel Will Blow You Away!" Hold onto your hats (and your expectations, just in case) because this is going to be a ride. I'm not going to lie, the name alone is ambitious. Let's see if the actual experience lives up to the hype.
First Impressions (and a Deep Breath!)
Alright, let’s start with the basics. Accessibility – a huge deal for anyone with mobility concerns, and frankly, a win for all of us. I'm thrilled to report that the hotel claims to be heavily geared towards accessibility. I’ll drill down on this a bit later if I can verify it. Elevator? Check. Facilities for disabled guests? They say so. Exterior corridor? Nope, which usually means (fingers crossed) the hallways are easier to navigate. The website is not super in-depth on the details, so let's hope it's a winner in reality.
Getting Connected: Internet Shenanigans (and Hope!)
Internet. Okay, here's where things get interesting. The hotel promises the works: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (Hallelujah!) and even Internet access – LAN if you're old school or a serious gamer. Wi-Fi in public areas? Yep. Internet services are supposedly available, which hopefully includes things like printing and maybe even a decent connection speed. This is crucial, people. I need to be able to stream cat videos, and I'm not alone. So, if the Wi-Fi is spotty, that's a major strike against them!
Safety in the Age of Germs: Is it Clean or a Petri Dish?
Let's be real: cleanliness is everything right now. The list of safety measures is pretty impressive: Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Shared stationery removed, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment. Whew! Sounds like they’re taking it seriously. The presence of Doctor/nurse on call and a First aid kit is always reassuring. Cashless payment service is a nice touch to make things easier. I'll be watching closely on that one. So far, so reassuring, but let's hope the execution is seamless.
Dining, Drinking, and Staying Alive: The Foodie Factor (and My Expanding Waistline)
Okay, food. My favorite topic. This is where the hotel REALLY had me at hello. The options are endless. A restaurant with A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine, Bar, Bottle of water (always!), Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant. Seriously, I’m going to gain five pounds just thinking about it. Breakfast in room? Yes, please! Breakfast takeaway service? Perfect for those "I don't want to get out of bed" mornings. This all sounds promising, but I'm most definitely judging the quality of that coffee REALLY closely. My life depends on good coffee.
Things to Do (Besides Eat): Relaxation and Entertainment!
Alright, moving on to the fun stuff. "Unbelievable Hull Views!" is hitting all the right notes on the relaxing side: Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]. They really are trying to pamper you here, aren't they? A Pool with view? That is my jam. I'm envisioning myself lounging by the pool, cocktail in hand, watching the world go by. The Fitness center is crucial, because, let's face it, I'm going to need someplace to work off all that food.
The Room: My Home Away From Home (or Would That Be a Hotel Room?)
Ah, the room. The heart of the hotel experience! Let's see what awaits: Available in all rooms, Additional toilet, Air conditioning, (crucial!), Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens. It's a pretty extensive list, no? My main question is: is the mattress comfy? My back can be a real drama queen. And are there enough outlets? I'm a serious charger. Oh, and… Room decorations? Fingers crossed for something other than generic hotel art.
Services and Conveniences: They've Thought of Almost Everything?
The hotel has many services and conveniences on offer: Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Essential condiments, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center. It's a comprehensive list, right? Contactless check-in/out sounds amazing! Concierge is a must for help finding local gems (or just directions to the nearest coffee shop). Daily housekeeping? Yes, please. I hate making my bed.
For the Kids! (And Those of Us Who Act Like Them)
Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal. Okay, I don't have kids, but I can appreciate a hotel that caters to families. It means more happy guests, therefore, less fuss.
Security, Safety, and Peace of Mind: Can I Sleep Soundly?
This is a big one. Access, CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Check-in/out [express], Check-in/out [private], Couple's room, Exterior corridor, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Hotel chain, Non-smoking rooms, Proposal spot, Room decorations, Safety/security feature, Security [24-hour], Smoke alarms, Soundproof rooms. Seeing the word "Security" in there so many times is a good sign. Getting Around: I Need to Get Out and Explore!
They offer Airport transfer, Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking. That's an impressive array of options. The Anecdote (and the Imperfections!)
Okay, confession time: I've stayed in a few places that promised the moon and the stars, and delivered… well, a slightly lumpy, slightly stained mattress and a view of the dumpster. So, I'm cautiously optimistic. Let's hope "Unbelievable Hull Views!" lives up to the hype. I'm especially curious about that “pool with a view.” Will it be Instagram-worthy? Will I have to fight for a sun lounger? Will the cocktails be strong enough to help me forget my worries? My gut tells me I'm gonna love it.
The Offer: Time to Book and Get This Party Started!
Okay, here's my pitch. Imagine: you, lounging by a stunning pool with a view, sipping a perfectly crafted cocktail. You've indulged in a delicious breakfast buffet, and you're ready to explore all the hidden gems the area has to offer. You're staying in a comfortable, well-appointed room, and you have everything you need at your fingertips. Unbelievable Hull Views! promises exactly that. And listen, even if there's a minor hiccup or two (like, say, the Wi-Fi is a bit flaky, which I doubt), the sheer abundance of amenities, the focus on your comfort and safety, and the *promise
Kingdom City Getaway: Days Inn's Unbeatable Deals!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your boring, perfectly-formatted travel brochure. This is the REAL DEAL, my disorganized, emotionally-charged, probably-slightly-hungover itinerary for a stay at the Hull Humber View Hotel, BW Signature Collection. Let's see if we survive this…
Day 1: Arrival, Anticipation, and the Dreaded Hotel Bar
1:00 PM - Arrival (Or Attempted Arrival, Because Trains, Am I Right?)
- Okay, so the train was late, naturally. And by "late," I mean "grinding to a halt halfway across Yorkshire due to a rogue flock of pigeons or something equally dramatic." This is why I pack extra gummy bears. Always. Arrived in Hull, looking like I wrestled a badger (probably from the travel bag).
- Quirky Observation: Hull. It's… well, it's Hull. The wind whips, the seagulls cackle maniacally, and the air smells like a slightly regretful seafood restaurant. Charmingly British, in its own way.
- Emotional Reaction: Relief that I’d made it. Pure. Sweet. Relief. Also, a gnawing hunger.
2:00 PM - Check-In and Room Reconnaissance
- The hotel itself is… fine. Clean, decent-sized room, nothing to write home about, except, perhaps, the view (Humber, as the name suggests). That view, though, is EVERYTHING!
- Minor Category: Bed Test: The bed PASSED the crucial "Jump on it dramatically and see if it collapses" test. Score!
- Stream-of-Consciousness Rambling: Okay, so the curtains are a bit… floral. Like your grandma's best wallpaper. But hey, they block out the light, so who am I to judge? The shower pressure, on the other hand, is crucial. I'm a fussy showerer. Thankfully, it wasn't a dribble, so points for that.
- Opinionated Language: The complimentary biscuits were a bit…meh. Dry. Undistinguished. They could do better, frankly.
3:00 PM - The Hotel Bar: A Tale of Two Drinks (and a Sudden, Unwanted Friendship)
- Right. This is where things get interesting (and potentially messy). I decided to risk the hotel bar. First drink: G&T. Standard. Fine.
- Anecdote: That’s when I met Brenda. Brenda, a woman of (I’m guessing) indeterminate age, sporting a leopard-print top and a voice that could curdle milk. She, apparently, was a regular and very keen to tell me all about her cats and her opinion on Brexit. Two drinks in, I was questioning my life choices.
- Emotional Reaction: The G&T was good. Brenda, less so. Mild panic. A desperate desire for escape.
- Doubling Down: For some reason, I ordered a second drink… a Mojito. It was… well, it was a Mojito. Not the best, not the worst. Brenda, however, had found a renewed vigor and had started asking me about my "love life" (or lack thereof, in her opinion). This is why I should have stayed in my room.
- Imperfections: I may have, at this point, accidentally agreed to join Brenda for karaoke tomorrow night. God help me.
6:00 PM - Dinner (and Hiding)
- Decided to eat at the hotel restaurant. I requested a table as far away from Brenda as possible. Luckily she wasn't there. Food was… adequate. The roast chicken, surprisingly, wasn't dry.
- Opinionated Language: The service was slow. Painfully slow. I was starving. But the chicken kept me going.
8:00 PM - Room, Relaxation, and Regret
- Back in the room. Safe. Sound (ish). Finally, some peace. Binged a show on Netflix and tried to forget Brenda and the karaoke.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: She was a sweetheart, I just could NOT handle the thought of karaoke.
Day 2: Culture, Karaoke and Catastrophes
9:00 AM - Breakfast (aka My Revenge on the Hotel Biscuits)
- Breakfast buffet! Eggs, bacon, the whole shebang. I ate ALL the biscuits they put out, just to send a message. I had a second breakfast, too.
- Minor Category: Caffeine Intake: Two cups of coffee. Possibly more. Needed to face the day.
- Opinionated Language: The coffee was surprisingly good! Maybe they'd read my scathing review of their biscuits.
10:00 AM - Exploring Hull (Attempt #1: The Maritime Museum)
- Tried to visit the Hull Maritime Museum. It sounded interesting. Got halfway there, changed my mind and went to a tea shop. Tea shops are wonderful.
- Stream-of-Consciousness Rambling: Hmm, perhaps I'm not cut out for organized sightseeing. Or maybe I'm just easily distracted by a decent scone.
12:00 PM - Lunch (Tea Shop Delight)
- Found a lovely little tea shop. Amazing scones, clotted cream, the works. Happiness.
- Emotional Reaction: Pure, unadulterated joy.
2:00 PM - The Deep (Aquarium Adventure!)
- Finally! A proper outing. The Deep, Hull's aquarium, is actually pretty cool. The penguins are adorable, the sharks are a bit intimidating, and I spent way too much time watching jellyfish.
- Quirky Observation: I swear one of the penguins gave me the side-eye. Judgemental bird.
5:00 PM - Pre-Karaoke Prep (Panic Mode)
- Okay. Karaoke. It's happening. I spent an hour in the room, pacing, and listening to music to get ready for the emotional carnage that was to come.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: Fear. Pure, unadulterated fear. And a sudden, overwhelming desire to feign illness.
7:00 PM - Karaoke Night with Brenda (aka Judgement Day)
- This is where the truly messy stuff happens.
- Anecdote: Brenda was in her element. I saw her, from behind a pillar, she was going to be singing “Hit Me Baby One More Time” in a way that made me want to scream. I did not. I may have hid in the bathroom for a good fifteen minutes, contemplating a daring escape across the Humber. I could NOT.
- Doubling Down: Somehow, I ended up singing. I’m not saying what I sang… but let's just say it involved a lot of (bad) belting and a near-death experience for my vocal cords.
- Imperfections: My performance was, shall we say, forgettable. Brenda, however, gave me a standing ovation. I’m pretty sure she was the only one.
- Emotional Reaction: Humiliation. Relief. A newfound respect for anyone who can sing in public. And a vow to never, ever go to karaoke again.
10:00 PM - Back to the Room: Trauma and Tucking In
- Back in the room. Crawled into bed. Ate the stash of gummy bears I’d brought, like a true champion of self-sabotage.
- Rambling: I needed a vacation from my vacation.
Day 3: Departure (and a Promise Never to Return - Maybe)
9:00 AM - Painful Breakfast, Part Deux
- Breakfast again. The biscuits, surprisingly, weren't there. Someone must have got the message?!
10:00 AM - Check Out and Escape Hull
- Checked out. Said a silent, heartfelt goodbye to the Humber View Hotel and Hull itself.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: Mixed feelings. A tiny bit of sadness? Maybe? Possibly? Okay, mostly relief. But the biscuits WERE nice.
12:00 PM - On the Train (Freedom!)
- Back on the train. This time, no pigeons. Just the sweet, sweet promise of home.
The End (… Maybe)
This, my friends, is Hull. A messy, imperfect, and occasionally terrifying experience. Would I go back? Maybe. If they promise to keep Brenda away from me. And maybe if they get better biscuits. But probably not for a while.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need a long, hot shower, a stiff drink, and a very good book. Cheers!

Unbelievable Hull Views! (And My Unbelievable Reaction!) - FAQs... Get Ready!
So, are these *really* unbelievable views? My inner cynic... is on high alert.
Okay, look, I'm not usually one for hyperbole. I'm more of a "meh, it's fine" kind of person. But the views at this place in Hull? Bloody. Hell. They. Are. Unbelievable. Think, "Wow, I didn't know Hull *looked* like this!" And that's coming from someone who once spent a week in a Hull Travelodge (shudders). Okay, the city isn't… aesthetically pleasing, but the architecture and the water and... Oh! The sunsets! My God, I nearly cried, *and* I'm not an emotional person. I’ll be honest, I actually didn’t *expect* much from Hull, let alone a hotel. But the views? They legit changed my *perception* of the place! Completely unexpected. Bring spare eye sockets, because you will be using them.
What kind of rooms are we talking about? Penthouse suites or... slightly less glamorous?
Right, okay, so I didn’t exactly spring for a penthouse. I’m not made of money! I went for a "superior double" or whatever they called it. It wasn’t *bad*… not exactly. Clean, decent size, the standard hotel stuff. But THE VIEW. That's what you're paying for. Seriously. I spent most of my time glued to the window. I'm pretty sure the other guests thought I was stalking them. Didn't care! The rooms are nice enough but, again, it is the view you’re buying. I reckon even the broom cupboard would have a decent view. I would've slept in a cardboard box if that was my only ticket to that vista.
Is it noisy? I'm a light sleeper, basically a walking, breathing complaint about noise.
This one's tricky, right? Depends. The hotel itself seemed pretty soundproof. I didn't hear any banging doors or screaming children, which is always a bonus. However, Hull is still… Hull. You might get a bit of noise from the street below, particularly at night, and you never know with seagulls…. But for me, the gentle lapping of the water was preferable to… well, *some* of the other sounds I've experienced in hotels. I’m also a light sleeper. Honestly? I don't remember the noise *at all*. I was too busy, you know, staring. If the view doesn't lull you to sleep, nothing will.
The food. Is it… edible? Because hotel food, am I right?
Okay, the food… *deep breath*. I had breakfast. Yeah. The usual suspects: the slightly rubbery scrambled eggs, the suspiciously orange juice, the… well, you know. The coffee wasn't half bad. Did I find myself suddenly craving a gourmet experience? Erm, no. Could I have eaten the entire breakfast buffet? Also, no. It was perfectly… fine. I didn't starve. I wouldn’t write home about their sausages, put it that way. But honestly? I was too busy marveling at the sunrise over the water to really *care* about the breakfast. I just wanted to get back to the window!
Okay, but what about the *service*? Are the staff… nice? Or are they the kind that make you want to run screaming?
The staff were actually lovely! Friendly, helpful. I had a bit of a travel mishap - let's just say I left some important things on a train – and they were brilliantly helpful, even though it wasn’t *their* problem. They helped get it sorted and were just generally excellent. They seemed genuinely happy to be there, which is always a good sign. None of that forced, fake-smile nonsense. They felt… human. And, you know, not being the kind of person who complains, it was all very welcome. Really, 10/10 for the staff.
Tell me more about the view! Give me details! What DID you see?!
Alright, buckle up because I'm about to go full-blown, probably embarrassing, stream-of-consciousness about the *view*. Okay. The *view*. From my room, I had these… these *sweeping* vistas of the Humber. The water, obviously, which was a constant source of changing light and colour... The sunrise! Oh God, the sunrise. You know how you see those pictures? Where the sky is all vibrant oranges and pinks and purples? Yeah, it was like that. Every. Single. Morning. Except, you know, it was *real*. And it was so… *huge*. I felt utterly insignificant but in a good way! Not like, "Oh, I’m such a tiny speck in the universe" - more like, "Wow, I'm lucky enough to be witness to this incredible beauty".
I saw boats! Big ones, little ones, tugboats chugging along… I’m not a boat person, not usually, but I was *fascinated*. I saw birds. Gulls, mainly. The seagulls… well, they’re part of the Hull experience. They’re *loud*. I saw the architecture of the city… the old buildings, the bridges… everything looked different from that height, everything looked… beautiful! I felt like maybe, just maybe, Hull wasn't so bad after all. And I'm *still* not sure that's a good thing, but it felt *amazing* at the time.
And do you know what? The thing that I’ll remember forever? This one afternoon, the sun was catching the water in a way that made it look like liquid silver. It was so bright, I had to squint. And a little tugboat was chugging past, leaving this perfect, straight wake behind it. It was just… perfect. I stood there, rooted to the spot, just *watching*. And I thought, “This is it. This is the reason I came.” It wasn’t the building, it wasn’t the food, it wasn’t even the (admittedly lovely) staff. It was that *view*. It was a moment, a tiny little perfect moment, and I will never forget it. I actually think I might go back… just for the view. Maybe. Okay, definitely. Okay, I'm looking at dates as we speak. Shush! Don't judge me!
Would you go back? Honest answer.
Look, I am a grumpy old cynic at heart. But… **yes**. Absolutely. I’m already checking my calendar! Even if the rooms are slightly… average,Web Hotel Search Site
