The Britannia Royal Hotel Hull, Hull

A very handy hotel bar serving two well kept Wold Top ales. We tried The Wold Top Spring Fling and the Wold Gold and other customers were also making a beeline for them. The central bar area was plush and very comfortable and had an upbeat sort of atmosphere. The space consisted of a high ceiling painted in bronze, with lots of small square glass skylights. Large orange coloured lampshades hung from the ceiling in a bank of sixteen. The main columns were also painted in a bonze colour. Well worth a visit as it has a lot going for it.

My regular stopover hotel when working in Hull. Some of the rooms are quite basic, but they're slowly updating them all to a good standard. It used to be a lucky dip, but when you've stayed a few times you get to know which rooms to ask for. The bar is a grand affair and is part of the hotel reception and lobby. Lots of deep leather sofa's and ornate decor. There's direct access from the station as well. Sadly the choice on the bar is very limited. Worthingtons Smooth, mainstream lager or Guinness. Needless to say I don't drink in here very often unless I'm waiting for someone else.

Has been taken over by mercure hotels. The public bar of the hotel has direct access to hull train station. Standard draught selection and very handy for the platforms.
