Very accommodating staff

The staff were extremely accommodating by showing us the room and giving us the key early in the morning as we were going to a festival. The room was large and clean. We stayed on a Saturday night and as this is a city centre hotel there was a lot of noise bug you can't blame the hotel for that. (bring some ear plugs). Overall a good experience and we would use this hotel again

Incredibly convenient and good value clean basic accommodation with a nice view. Some maintenance needed in bathroom fittings. Perfect to crash after a night on the town - not so much if you need an early night. Lots of late-opening bars in the area and the music reverberating through the building is LOUD. Would be nice to have a more soundproof door as well, as I was treated to every detail of the domestic that erupted at 2am in the corridor outside. Even so, I would definitely go back.

Did the job

It’s in a good spot , the decor needs updating on the room we stayed . A bit grim in parts . Yes it is noisy outside , you get a key for the side gate to get in after hours which is very tricky to open , especially after a few beers . We actually started to panic thinking we couldn’t get in . But the mrs finally did it but not sure how . Then it’s up the metal fire exit stairs. Bed was comfortable enough . It was ok for our 1 night stay

Bedbugs in my hotel room. Noticed one as was about to fall asleep. Obviously, did not end up sleeping here. Ive stayed in 100s of hotel rooms for work and this is the first time I'd encountered this. I disposed of the clothes I was wearing and made a mental note to never visit this place again. Disgusting.

The toiletries has been opened previously, the carpet in lounge was stained. Absolutely freezing, no heating yet radiators. There was 3 pokey heaters which only 2 worked but they didn't heat up the room. No knives in the cutlery draw. Ideal place to the theatre to stay and spacious just up steep narrow steps no good for disabled.

Awful stay was given a very dirty fan that didnt even work. Bed had no mattress protector and was so lumpy and uncomfortable. No bathmat or handtowels so had to stand on husbands towel?. The bar was closed before we returned from our meal out at about 9.30pm. Extremely noisy out side with drunken brawling all night until about 4.30am we literally had 2 hours sleep. Never again

A basic type of 'above the pub' accommodation - all you need is there, including ear plugs which do come in handy at night, but the room and bathroom are a bit shabby and could do with an update. A very convenient location, so it's ok for a night or two.

Knock it down and start again!

Staying in room 6 and it is horrific, I’ve been searching for other hotels to stay but Leeds is ultra expensive tonight. I paid £67 for tonight. The walls are filthy, hard non carpeted floor, blood on the bed sheets, no mattress protector, black hairs on the pillows and the mattress under the bed sheet, no TV in the room, something that looks like a wardrobe but actually has a boiler in it, the bed sheet doesn’t totally fit the bed so is stretched for all it’s worth, the mattress is SO uncomfortable and old, it feels like laying on the bed frame. There is a private bathroom which is great but the shower is tiny. Good news! There is electricity, so there is that. A fan is offered, but you won’t need it as it’s freezing in here (in May). Totally regret staying here, do NOT stay here, horrific, can’t wait to get to work tomorrow morning. Update, I left at 11:30pm for a different hotel, this room isn’t fit for anyone staying in, a total disgrace.
