Great location
We stayed here as we were attending a concert at the arena. The hotel was in the perfect location for the train station which was just around the corner. It was a bit of a walk to the arena but we wanted to get food on the way so it gave us the opportunity to find somewhere. At check in the staff were super polite and ensured we had all the information we needed. The room was clean and tidy and the facilities in the room were great with an iron and hairdryer to hand if needed. We booked the breakfast in the morning which was beautifully cooked and very filling. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. We'd definitely stay here again.

Tired room but staff were exceptional
The room was very basic furniture wise, there was a safe, tea, coffee, biscuits, iron, fan. My room 221, the shower was just a dribble when on hot and at 5 in the morning there was a rubbish collection

Nice stay in central location
Main public areas were decorated really nicely for Christmas, and received a warm welcome at reception. My room was described as cosy and it was on small side but perfectly comfortable for solo traveller.
Ate in the restaurant, very tasty meal.

A favourite place to stay
A favourite place to stay when I visit Leeds. Walking distance from the station with a wheelie case and close to the shops and restaurants. Stephanie was very helpful at check in and the bar is cosy with a TV and good menu. It's a quiet hotel, so perfect for a busy trip. Good hot and powerful shower is a bonus!

The hotel was central and near both the station and the Arena which was convenient for me. The scaffolding outside was very off putting. The reception area was very luxurious but the bedroom was quite small. Shower was adequate.
