Paul & Somsong were the caretakers of the place when I visited. Having traveled from a distant land, they both welcomed us to the Hull and UK itself. Our lives as a family started off from this place and these 2 people - are like family - so welcoming and helpful beyond words

Polite friendly hosts , easy access from major highways and easy access from the city via bus links , plus a few minutes walk to a good selection of independent on trend bars and non chain local restaurants . The earlsmere guesthouse is a traditional Victorian double fronted property that has been restored to a good standard without losing its charm and retains many of its original features which you may spot if you are keen on history e.g. Minton tiling and the like, rooms are reasonable on cost and are cleaned to a good standard . The guesthouse also has a Thai restaurant for residents and has a good selection of traditional Thai food cooked fresh to order , alcohol is not sold here but might I add you can bring your own !! So you can enjoy a drink of your choice without the hefty price tag , but remember this is not a full on drinking establishment just a family run restaurant . The decor is Thai influenced and features an array of silks and ornaments plus some very tasteful photo gallery pictures of the owners family and Thai art in the restaurant . The breakfast is included in cost and offers a variety of cereals and full English breakfast options e.g egg choice fried or scrambled , it really is worth getting up for . Please note that it is a zoned parking area and please obtain a parking permit on arrival !! It's free and there are plenty of spaces outside opposite the building and the street is very quite it has been zoned to make sure you as a resident of the guesthouse have a space for your vehicle . The guesthouse also has a fully qualified health massage service ,ideal for sports injuries or long standing muscular disorders at reasonable cost . On the whole a good place to stay at reasonable cost plus great access to a host of attractions in the hull area highly recommend , I am sure most who visit will truly enjoy the earlsmere experience .

My partner and I had a lovely stay here. The location is great as it's right near town and Princes Ave. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. They we're also very helpful in regards to finding places in the area. The room was comfy and clean and provided very nice tea/coffee/biscuits. We really enjoyed the cooked breakfast and there was also a good variety of other options available- cereals etc. We'll definitely be staying again!

It's clean, rooms are old but spacious, the couple who own it , have owned it about a year, they are in the process of modernizing the building but lime anything it will take time. The breakfast was hot and well cooked. I wish them all the best and if I'm in Hull again this is where I will definitely be.
