Carl Simpson, founder of the Raise the Roof Hull Project, crowdfunded more than £1,000 ($1,260) so that 28 homeless people could stay at the Royal Hotel in Hull, northern England, for two nights over the festive period. But Simpson says the hotel canceled the booking over the weekend without giving any explanation, throwing the project into disarray. In a Facebook post, Simpson said he was "absolutely gutted and very angry" at the sudden cancellation of 14 twin rooms on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. "I asked for a reason and was told there isn't one," Simpson wrote in the post. "Our Xmas hotel campaign is now in serious doubt being so close to Xmas we need a miracle," he added. Hayley Harrington, director of Raise the Roof, told CNN the hotel was made fully aware the booking was for a homeless project. "They said it was fantastic but on Saturday we received a phone call from the hotel saying the room was canceled. They didn't give us any reasons," Harrington said. "We checked online and there were still rooms available. This is just discrimination." Last year, the homeless charity booked Hull's Ibis hotel for the same project. "It was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it but they didn't have enough twin rooms available to keep everyone together his year," Harrington said. CNN contacted Royal Hotel, which is part of the Britannia group, on Monday but was told nobody was able to comment. The hotel has also deleted its Facebook page.

Dirty, old, outdated, ugly 70s eyesore. Stayed on the third floor and the lift buttons showed 1, 2 and UG or something similar that made no sense. I was a bit worse for wear and fuzzy thinking made me fear the Glass elevator sequence from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so opted for 2 and walked up a flight of stairs. The room was very large with a double and two singles even though I only paid the standard rate. They also still do smoking rooms which wasn't that pleasant. The bed was uncomfortable and I didn't even dare look at the sheets. The telephone in the room didn't work so when I needed to ask about check out times I couldn't. The television (without even freeview) also switched itself on at around 7am. The bathroom was so nasty I didn't want to use it, it's right on the corner of the very busy Ferensway and Anlaby Road so was terribly noisy and the tiny little windows let in no ventilation but plenty of racket. I stupidly paid for the breakfast which at £5 was the biggest rip off of the lot. Thick, watery, salty bacon. Cheap, cheap, cheap, nasty sausages (think the stuff Farmfoods would reject). Tinned mushrooms and tomatoes and scrambled eggs with worrying looking brown bits. There was one half-frozen hash brown and some godawful stewed tea and coffee that had probably been sitting on the hot plate since the week before. Oh and a selection of individually boxed kiddies cereals. Staff were ok though.... I suppose it has it's uses being so central, low priced and open 24 hours but seriously, next time I'll sleep on a bench.

I booked it for the location only and although I knew that it was a bit shabby, the hotel was very disappointing. Not recommended. On the positive side, our standard double room was very spacious, both the bedroom and the private bathroom. The bed quality was poor and our sleep suffered. Walls were very thin. We were talking to each other in the room at a normal level when another guest banged on our door telling us to "shut the **** up". The hotel is not in the best part of town, either. Showering was unpleasant. The shower curtain did not repel water at all, so the bathroom floor was covered in water after every shower as the water simply traveled through the curtain. The bathtub was a huge step up from the floor so it was a slipping hazard getting in and out. I said that getting in and out of the shower was the most dangerous thing I did in Hull. The showerhead sprayed water in many directions and it always got in my eyes. When I tried calling the front desk on several different occasions, it rang forever with no answer. Our room keycard randomly stopped working and we were unable to get in our room. When we went back to the lobby, we were told that the cards "sometimes do this" and they gave us a new one. As travelers, we were on a very tight schedule and it's an unpleasant surprise to be locked out of the room without warning. The hot breakfast, which I purchased included with the stay, was poor. Breakfast hours are 7:00am to 9:00am (as of July 2015), which I found convenient. However, the full English breakfast tasted so bad that I didn't even eat it the next day. Everything tasted like it was frozen or from a tin. The continental breakfast they offer is passable though: packaged pastries, yogurt, cereal, toast, juice, tea and coffee. The breakfast waitstaff were attentive and the breakfast room is pleasant, however. I would look elsewhere especially if you are looking for a nice, classy, romantic hotel which is what Kingston Theatre tries to sell itself as.

The first problem was when our group arrived and one of our party was told that they hadn't got a room despite the fact we had actually booked 2 months in advance! They didn't seem bothered and when we said what about the 3 rooms that we had cancelled a couple of days before they said that they had all been taken. The attitude was just go and find somewhere else and because the person on reception hadn't taken the bookings didn't really care less. When we suggested that the hotel (as it was there fault) should make an effort to find somewhere else we were met with indifference but after a while they did offer to provide a couple of other hotels phone numbers for US to call! The hotel is in quite an old building and it shows. They have made some effort to modernise. The rooms are tidy and functional, I think you would be ok just staying the odd night or 2 but not much longer. Other members of staff were a bit more friendly. The meal was ok and service quite efficent. There is also a well stocked bar. Handy for the theatre I imagine?
