Hull is often referred to (amusingly) as Hell. I suppose it would be an interesting place to visit from a foreign perspective but it's rather a grim place from a UK perspective. Boarded up houses, litter on the streets, legions of unemployed sitting round all day drinking in pubs with filthy tables, obese children raised on chip butties and alcopops....
Meh - I haven't been there in about 6 years now, but I found it thoroughly depressing. I do find the local accent strangely attractive though
