What a lovely hotel. The staff were so helpful and kind. The renovation looks lovely and I had a great nights sleep. The shower is really powerful and they’ve got both types of usb chargers (for those who forget their plug) in the sockets on either side of the bed. You can park for £20 at the hotel and brekky was £13.50 for a full English and a load of cereal and pastries. I’d 100% stay again.

Nice hotel in the city centre, currently undergoing a major renovation - drilling started at 8:15 so don't expect a lay in! Very friendly staff, but the hotel itself is tired and in need of serious redecoration (which I assume is tied to the renovation underway). No air con and a dribble of a shower are cons, but spacious rooms are a big plus. Has an extremely small car park, not even enough space to turn a medium sized car around, so be very careful of parking on site, the walls carry the scuffs of a thousand cars.

We stayed there last night for our wedding anniversary. We were in a fifth floor room and we told that the AC didn't work. Well when we went to our room, it was boiling! Opening the windows did absolutely nothing and it was an incredibly poor and miserable night's sleep. With the windows open we could hear everything from the streets and generators. It was incredibly disappointing and when we left to check out, they just took the keys and said bye. Never gave us chance to give the feedback there. When we arrived there was no one at the checkout and we didn't know where to go. The room had clearly been renovated, there was no instant coffee available in the room. Unfortunately the nice decor and architecture didn't save from the fact it was an awfully hot and miserable night's sleep!!

Had an ok stay at this hotel. It was newly renovated to a high standard which was good and the hotel is in a perfect location for visiting Leeds centre on foot. We planned to stay two nights but unfortunately due to such a poor nights sleep we decided to move hotel, the air conditioning was not working and we had to sleep with the window open as it was so hot. There was a bars bins below the windows so at 3:30/4am I was woken to the sound of clanging bottles. The hotel itself is very nice, just the air conditioning is a big problem when it’s hot and noisy outside!

One of the worst hotels I have stayed in. First of all, there is no one to help you carry your bags. The receptionist is the one who carries them, and they do not have a cart for that. My daughter and I carried our bags, and there was no one to help us, and we are on the third floor. Second, the air conditioning does not work in the entire hotel, and they did not inform us of that, unfortunately. Their services are very bad and they are not cooperative. My rating for them is zero, and I advise everyone not to stay there.Very very bad 🤢
