Review of Hull City

Homely Hull

Advantages: Very friendly city. Well planned
Disadvantages: Rather isolated

...Hull in Humberside was my home for five years whilst I did my undergraduate and graduate studies. I found this somewhat unfashionable city to be a very homely,friendly,much under-rated city. It is an exceptionally well planned city and has a nice mix of ultra-modern,offices and commercial buildings with attractive,historic buildings. It is also a city with fine parks and outstanding shopping. The maritime flavour of this historic port city has been enhanced with the construction of a magnificent marina.Then there is Queens'Gardens,a converted dock,in the city centre,which is a colourful,lovely,place for people to relax in. The city has a large number of lively pubs which ooze character and strangers always seem to be made welcome in this most welcoming of cities. The Old Town with streets such as "The Land of Green Ginger" is well worth...

Review of Hull (England)

THE BEST PLACE TO STAY IN THE HULL AREA?

Advantages: Clean and comfortable. Good Value For Money.
Disadvantages: Long Wet Walk From Check In to Lodge. View From Front Rooms

...WHY DID WE BOOK THE INNKEEPER'S LODGE - HULL? In this instance it was a purely business decision. The previous night we had stayed in the Innkeeper's Lodge at Chester (North East), the Hull Lodge was ideally situated for my business appointment at Brough. From previous experience we have found accommodation in Hull problematic, it is not a city exactly overflowing with a good choice of hotels and Bed and Breakfasts. We now use Innkeeper's Lodge's regularly in our travels and know that we can rely on the quality of the room and that the service offered is of a more than acceptable standard when compared to other lodge type hotels. HOTEL DESCRIPTION / OUR PERCEPTION FROM HOTEL PUBLICITY As with all of the Innkeeper's Lodges in which we have stayed, the Hull one is very well, and honestly, described, both in the new (2007...

Where dreams are made....and broken....Hull IVF Unit

Advantages: Wonderful, compassionate staff. Slightly above average success rates.
Disadvantages: Location. Lack of car parking.

...Having been through infertility, & subsequently IVF myself, I have read many other accounts relating to the journey of achieving something that most couples take for granted, but what at times can seem like the impossible ? a baby. I have gained so much insight from other people & have drawn strength from their stories, so I thought I would share mine & hopefully pass on some hope to other couples in similar situations. There are many IVF reviews on here, so I thought I would try & cover the hospital at which I myself received treatment (the Hull IVF unit). Since treatment can vary from hospital to hospital, I hope this will be of use to couples planning treatment here. Firstly, a bit of background information to set the scene? We began TTC (trying to conceive) back in September 2005. Although current guidelines state that...

Review of Hull IVF Unit, Hull

Roar of the Tigers

Advantages: Good squad with talent in all areas. Money, which they have spent wisely. Good loyal fans and a friendly club atmosphere.
Disadvantages: Money is not a guarantee for success. Players may not gel as a team quickly.

...It's been a roller coaster ride for Hull City fans during the last few seasons, with administration, being brought out at the last minute, players moving in and out and a ever changing league position eventually resulting in a playoff place in which they lost. Hull were put into administration at the start of last year, due to unpaid taxes, totalling over £1.5 million. A deadline was put in place for the debts to be cleared or face expulsion, but this was later extended. Step in Adam Pearson. Just before the deadline he stepped in with a package to save the club. Pearson was at Leeds United in the position of commercial director, but resigned to make himself director and chairman. He has high ambitions for the club. Over the pre-season he has allowed £800,000 for new players, a lot by division three standards, and building work...

Review of Hull City

Hear the roar of the mighty tigers

Advantages: Quality team, great fans and crowds
Disadvantages: Division 3 :(

...'ve also got a chance at promotion this season. Ok, division 2 mightn't be anything special to some of you but to us it is!! We're playing 5th in the league at the moment and will hopefully get into top 3. At the moment we've got a hold on some highly rated players. Including Jamaican internationals Theodore Whitmore and Ian Goodison. They've recently decided not to sign new contracts though and sadly we'll be saying goodbye soon. As players, I don't rate them highest, but Goodison has good form and it will be a blow to the club when he leaves. My top 5 players: -Lawrie Dudfield -Gary Alexander -Ryan Williams -Paul Musslewhite -Michael Edwards Lawrie Dudfield *************** At only 21, Lawrie is Hull's record signing. He was signed from Leicester City in June 2001 for £210,000, personally, I think he was worth every penny. As...

Review of Hull City

Great hotel in a great location.

Advantages: Great location useful for rail & bus links, A newly built hotel with new facilities, polite staff
Disadvantages: No room service, Guest enterance not clearly signposted.

...I was staying in Hull for a weekend visiting friends and decided to stay in a hotel. I was aware that the new St Stephen's Shopping Centre complex also included this hotel by Holiday Inn. Initially I shopped around for the best room rates but found that the cheapest rates were found via the Holiday Inn website. I paid £55 for the Saturday night and £69 for the Sunday night which was a lot cheaper than the £70+ I was quoted when consulting sites such as LateRooms. The online reservation process was quick and easy. I also signed up for their Priority Club scheme which awards points each time you stay in one of the Holiday Inn Group hotels which can then be used towards a free night in the hotel (although bear in mind you need literally thousands of points to do this.) For me, the biggest advantage of staying in this hotel over some...

Review of Express By Holiday Inn Hull City Centre, Hull

Hull's not dull

Advantages: see text
Disadvantages: see text

...I've just completed my first year at the University of Hull after decided right at the last minute that I wanted to go to University. Right from the minute I phoned them to ask them if they had places, they were extremely friendly and unbelievably helpful - I received several phone calls from the languages department. On arriving at the Lawns (the main halls of residence), there were loads of people everywhere guiding you to get your key and then to your hall and block. Aside from the Lawns (about 3 miles from University), there is also the option of staying in student houses, the Taylor Court flats (right next to the University) and traditional halls. It costs around £60 a week to live at the Lawns, but that also includes evening meals every day and electricity/heating costs. Before you arrive at University you can choose if you...

Review of Hull University

"It's been a 'Hull's days night"....

Advantages: Cheap, cheerful, lots to do
Disadvantages: Hostile / Odd locals (at times)

..."Hull" ? "Where's Hull" ? "Why Hull?" they said when I announced my decision to go 'up North' (from Essex) to study. Many people who have never been to Hull are put off by it's image of being a depressive, boring and deprived fishing town. But there's more................. My time in Hull: I studied at for a BA (Honours) degree in Sociology at Hull University from September 1996 until June 1999 and graduated (feeling v pleased with myself) with a 2.1. However, I couldn't bring myself to leave and so stayed on and worked in the city until July 2000. How to get the University of Hull: By public transport- Before I could afford a car I travelled to Hull by train from London using GNER. The GNER service connects Hull to all the major cities and towns in the East Yorkshire area and to the south (London) and up as far North...

Review of Hull University

Look out Hull City

Advantages: Smooth, smelly and sweet
Disadvantages: The damn Norwegians get everywhere

..., Danish and Norwegian cluelets and there’s clearly something very worrying going on – Alighting first upon the hurdy gurdy Norwegian mystery blurb I find some pretty concerning instructions about something called fyldigere skum – perhaps the shaving foam is actually created by dragging a net across the top of a Norwegian fjord to siphon off the scum!! Damn cunning entrepreneurs the Norwegians – they export all these big hunky footballers over here and then sell us the left overs from their ablutions. The message went on “Stikk ikke hull pa boksen og brenn den ikke.” Apparently they’re telling us to stick our Hull City up our a**. Has Tore Andre Flo told them something we don’t know about? Leaving aside all the Northern European propaganda that is clearly being very vindictively thrown...
