• Good location, plenty of character, helpful friendly staff, good value room.

“A bit more than the advertised 2 minutes walk from the station but nevertheless very close, well located for pub, clubs and restaurants but relatively quiet also. The hotel was clean and modern in an old building without the sterility of the ubiquitous c”

“A decent no frills hotel. Slightly further from the station than the web site indicated, but it is well located and I might well use again.”

• Single bed small, would have preferred a double bed, room stuffy with noisy ceiling fan and no through draft from window

• Rooms were quite big, very clean and comfortable with good size bathroom. Very friendly staff.
• It would have been easier if triple rooms were available due to size of party.

“We travelled by train but found all directions were for motorway/driving. Directions by foot from train station would have been easier. We did phone the hotel and the receptionist gave us good directions.

Hotel was very clean, good value for money and in a perfect location for our night out and for shopping in Leeds. The price paid was good value for money. All staff were extremely helpful and freindly and went out of their way to ensure our stay was enjoyable.

Would definately usethis hotel again.”

• Clean. Tidy. Pleasant room.

“I was given the distinct impression on the telephone that the accommodation included breakfast. The additional cost of breakfast was rather high at ?u11.50 per person per day. I feel that, especially with the high additional cost, the non-inclusion of breakfast should be made a great deal clearer.”

• The location was very good. Just as described.
• The room was a bit shabby and dated. Could be refreshed. Although the rest of the hotel was really nice.

“Generally a good hotel. Great location, perfect for a city stop-over. The reception/lifts/bar area etc were very nice, but the bedrooms could do with updating.”

• The staff were very good and the location excellent if you're travelling by train and want to be near the main shopping area.
• Needed to change rooms at 1.00am as there was a very loud air conditioning unit directly outside the window. On calling reception I was told that they could not turn it off and that it would be going all night. Why even out anyone in room 211?

“I was offered breakfast for '9 which seems very expensive to me.”

• The location was fantastic.
• A staff member (check- out) was particularly rude and unaccommodating.

• Friendly and helpful staff, central location
• '11.50 for breakfast (in a Leeds hotel)!

“A good hotel in a central location. Friendly and helpful staff. Vastly reduced rate secured through Active Hotels than from any other site, or from hotel directly, for standard of room booked (executive twin). Have stayed at this hoteol threet times now, and this was the cheapest stay.”

• Warm, clean, comfortable.

“The staff are courteous and efficient. My check in was easy. They swipe your card first but you only pay after check out. My room was warm, clean, comfortable. The furniture was on the chatty side. I feel that they need to upgrade as the desk and bedside cabinet were showing signs of wear, things like chipped wood and markings from previous guests. The kettle was on the cheap side being plastic and showing signs of age and wear. As for supplying tea and coffee facilities I would advise the unseasoned traveller to bring their own as they do not provide much of a selection. To be fair, however, the Hotel does point out that if hotel guests run out of tea and coffee
to contact reception and request for more.

Breakfast is charged at around '12 to '15 per head. Personally I do not think that this is a fair price for the breakfast they offer. It is an adequate breakfast consisting of the usual, bacon, eggs, sausages, hash browns that are not all that brown, coffee, tea, orange juice, fruits, yoghurts and so on. Adequate. I would put the price at around '6 to '8 not '15.

All in all a good 3 star hotel.”

“The original room 310 was very noisy, I contacted reception who were very helpful and the concierge was sent with a collection of room keys to show me different rooms. Very Helpful. The second room was very nice and good value for money.”

• It was a very well presented hotel, and was close to the shops and bars.

“During our stay at the hotel we had no hot water what so ever so were unable to get a shower/bath, however we were given some of the money back which we had paid due to this. Also we were advised that it was bed and breakfast accomadation but on departure they tried to charge us '23 for 2 breakfasts, which I would not pay as they were suppost to be included in the room cost. Overall the presentation of the hotel was lovely, very clean, and well situated for visiting shops and bars.”

“Accomodation was excellent value for money. Rooms spacious & clean.
Staff very helpful & pleasant.
Biggest let down was the restaurant. limited menu '22 p'head exc of wine. We eat twice as the chef may have had an off day. Wrong. 3 of the 4 meals were over cooked & burnt.
Would stay again but eat out”
