Leeds Marriott Hotel
Great staff. Lovely breakfast in room for £5 tray charge (booked room rate with breakfast included). Central location but what let's it down was the loud music blasting all night outside till way after midnight. We were on the fifth floor and it was so loud I couldn't sleep.

Hyatt House Leeds
Lovely hotel and staff, breakfast was also really nice. Only issue was noise, could hear next door from quite a distance away. Not sure if they were really noisy or sound proofing wasn’t that good. Either way after speaking with a member of staff stopped at 11pm and got a good Kip after.
