Characterful, comfortable, convenient!

Staff were incredibly polite and helpful throughout, engaging before and during our stay. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well provisioned. Breakfast was swift and delicious, made for an easy morning prior to departure. Taxi to the Piece Hall only £7-8 each way, ideal for a quiet place to stay on the edge of town.

One of the most expensive hotels in West Yorkshire still riding on the fact that the Beatles,who I simply love, stayed there 60 years ago. Beautiful grounds and building from the outside and ample free parking. Terrible decor which is very tired. Internet simply did not work in the rooms and the bathroom was terrible, shower head was past its best by about a decade.

Nice hotel

Great location and a nice hotel. Comfortable room, though a bit noisy as you can hear people milling about in the night. The food and drink is expensive for what you get (£9 for a basic sandwich and £3 for a soft drink). Otherwise it’s a good choice.

An experience that perhaps can be repeated

Overall the stay was ok. On this day there was a wedding, we stayed in room 31, with the windows facing the parking lot. There was a lot of noise until late. Dinner was good, we liked the quality. In terms of accommodation, the bed was not so comfortable and the room was very hot, we had to open a window where all the noise from the wedding came from. Breakfast quality could be better
