The Whittington and Cat

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
