Property was good. Area around it in Leeds is good, but at the moment there is a lot of work going on and it was a bit noisy. Not their fault at all.

The hotel is in an ideal location for shopping or the arena. It is a no frills hotel. The room was basic but clean. The staff are pleasant and helpful. The only problem just now is there are building work going on directly outside hotel which was never mentioned. I will definitely stay again.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry about the works outside its due to the transformation of Leeds station and the surrounding areas. Leeds City Council have had a few set backs so the work outside the Hotel has taken a bit longer than expected

Due to the age of the building it’s not the best to navigate and could do with a spruce up, but that said it’s clean, the staff are friendly and location is excellent for the city centre. I’d stay here again

Get what you pay for
Good - large sized room. Cheap. Good location. Bed was comfy. Bad - Asked if they had dairy alternative milks and was told yes. Came for breakfast and none available. Room was dirty, mould in one corner of the ceiling and paint flaking off. No soundproofing at all. Could hear everything. No swipe card access so had to buzz or call to be let back in. Receptionist at checkout couldn’t have cared less about us staying there. Cleanliness was questionable.

Response from Discovery Reception Team on 21 Feb 2024
I'm sorry you had no milk alternatives I've tried to find the messages but cannot seem to find any as we would have purchased some especially. We are upgrading our breakfast menu to incorporate alternative milks etc. We do not operate a swipe system as too often people lose their cards and we need to keep the hotel secure for guests and the staff. I'm sorry you felt the staff were uninterested as we do interact with all our guests. I will pass the comments on about the room to the maintenance team as we are undergoing a renovation plan for all the rooms and bathrooms. I am glad the location and bed were

Friendly, accommodating staff.
The member of staff that greeted us (I think his name was Lucas or like as we had the same name and he asked me about it) as really nice and allowed us to check in early. The room was clean and tidy. Unfortunately the curtains were not black out and there was street lights right outside the window. We were on the second floor and noise from outside was very loud. Around 2:30 am the guests in the room next to us or a few doors down came back and wee shouting and screaming which kept me up further. Staff were nice. Room was clean. Very loud and sort of uncomfortable. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Morning I'm sorry you had an uncomfortable night and will take into account looking into some blackout curtains (thank you for mentioning it ). I can't seem to find any phone call etc mentioning a noisy room till after 530am. We have a no-noise policy and if wed being aware we would have asked the occupants to quieten down or vacate the hotel. I'm sorry you won't be returning but am glad you enjoyed your room and were able to check-in early
