We would come to the hotel again with the rest of our family but I hope this time we would not have to pay for such a bad time. (107487631)

positive comments Staff and resteraunt
negative comments Next door deliberately banging room door which was reported and swearing loudly through the wall.Plus when people were having breakfast in the bar some lads were loud and discussing toilet habits very loudly in great length which made some visitors leave the room and the staff very uncomfortable as well as us. No manager came to say anything to them.

Nice hotel although the staff weren't overly friendly (107116110)

positive comments Lovely new building & the most comfortable beds ever!
negative comments The wifi didn't work in our room but it did downstairs and when we asked the desk guy he was very unhelpful & told me it must be my internet settings, bit odd being that I have a mac and there are no internet settings to change, I walk into a room and it either picks up a network or it doesn't, it did downstairs so why should it be any different in our room

We booked the hotel to be in Leeds for the final game of the season proper at Elland Road. It was everything we needed. My daughter booked the hotel for my husband and I as I was waiting for my new card at the time and my old card would have expired by the date of the visit and therefore couldn't be used. (97920218)

positive comments The very comfortable bed!

teresa from co.waterford, IE (Group of adult friends) 23 March 2008

In my own opinion i along with my companions found this hotel to exceed our expectations. staff were wonderful and helpful even though we never got the safe fixed the hotel was very security conscious. The bar was very relaxing and the restaurant was fabulous. even though I'm a frequent visitor to Leeds i wasn't quiet sure of the hotels location and was under the illusion it was closer to the city center. but taxi journeys were 5 -10 Min's into the center of Leeds and being that little further out we reaped the benefit of minimal traffic noise. all in all a very stress free break! (97320245)

positive comments clean, comfortable, spacious and modern. Breakfast was at superb value and top quality food. Staff from all areas were friendly and polite.
negative comments My safe did not work i reported it to reception immediately but it was never dealt with. The bath drain was blocked and took 10 Min's to drain with long dark hair bubbling back up,(not a pleasant sight first thing in the morning). However, reception was informed and unlike the safe the offending follicle blockage had been freed!

Hotel represented good value but was situated in an 'office' area and we had to walk into town (about 15 mins) to find bars and restaurants. (97385032)

positive comments Good value.
negative comments Room was too warm and had no air conditioning. Wifi in room did not work. Drinks in hotel bar too expensive.

The hotel was nice, but however, the staff was unable to answer a simple question correct. I booked 10 rooms for a SURPRISE party and rang up the hotel to ask them not to call my home phone, as the party was for my dad and he knew nothing about it, they on two occasions called my home phone and gave all the details of my booking and my dad picked up the message. So after a year of planning it was nearly all down the drain in one phone call. The staff then at the hotel, when we arrived, were asked questions these consisted of, “would you be able to put an ice bucket into my parents room for a bottle of champagne I have got them”, they at this point told me I had to go up to the room myself where there was an ice machine and put it in there room, when I went up to get the ice there was no machine on the floor anywhere despite it them saying there was one on my floor I then had to go back down to the bar to ask them for ice to then take the bucket up to my room. The next question asked was “could you put some cold glasses in the room for when they get to the hotel room” again I had to do this myself so when they got to the room the glasses were not chilled any more. The last question we asked them before we left to go to the party was “will the bar be open when we get back from the party”, the answer they gave us was, yes all you have to do is call the porter and he will get you your drinks. This was a blatant lie as when we got to the hotel after the party the bar was closed and there were only 2 staff in the hotel that could not open the bar for us. I was very unimpressed with this hotel and will not be recommending the hotel to anyone or staying in this hotel again. (97075506)

positive comments The room was nice and clean.

The hotel was fine,the staff very nice and accommodating towards us, it was just the guests. We were getting in the lift and some men were getting in drinking cans of lager and had a bag full of them too.Also the bar seemed to be full of larger louts. Not a very good first impression. WE will not be staying here when we come to Leeds again. We infact left we the same night and made an excuse that we had to get back due to business committments. (97966558)

positive comments It was clean and tidy.
negative comments It was on the 7th floor, i don't like heights or lifts.

Everything was excellent, parking underneath the hotel was a added bonus as we have previously stayed in another hotel in Leeds where we were dodging traffic with luggage. The bed was extremly comfortable had a great night sleep! The resturant didn't give you much option for food, although the food we did get was very nice - would have preferred more variety at affordable prices. (97254621)

positive comments How clean the place was. The bedding was gorgeous and very very comfy
negative comments Lack of choice in resturant/lounge

positive comments Room very clean, spacious, warm and well appointed. Good level of equipment and everything worked. Lovely shower!!! Staff were friendly and helpful. Bed was very comfortable.
negative comments Car park was full when we arrived & we were told to try again about an hour later 'when the staff go home' and thought it a bit much to charge additional £5 overnight. Tight for space and our car has deep scratches on wing mirror which weren't there when parked. Breakfast buffet good value - but a bit 'canteen like' in quality.

Christopher from Hull, GB (Young couple) 27 October 2007

The biggest plus point of the hotel was the underground parking facilities. This gives the hotel a distinct advantage over most other hotels in close proximity to Leeds City centre. Would definately stay there again for our next trip to Leeds. (97040307)

positive comments The location (1 mile from city centre), the parking facility.Very modern and impressive. Signposted very well.
negative comments The restaurant menunever tempted us to be honest and it seemed a bit pricey. Saturday night and it seemed deserted. More down to earth food, more reasonably priced would surely encourage more hotel guests to eat there.

positive comments The accommodation was very clean, smart, tidy and was well equipped with a hair dryer, iron, ironing board, trouser press, bath incl. shower
negative comments The Hotel only supplied one hand towel and one bath towel for two people?! They knew in advance two adults would be staying in my room. Also, the shower-head fising came off in my partners hand when trying to run the bath, and even when we got the bath working, the water was only luke-warm.

Pleasant stay, the directions were clear to follow from the train station, wasn't very satisfied with the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff on arrival however this was not a big problem. Very pleased with the appearance and cleanliness of the bedroom. Would come back again if i was in the area. (97371625)

positive comments size of the room, good value for money
negative comments The staff who dealt with my checking in wasn't very helpful as she didn't show me where the bedrooms were located or what floor the room was on. Furthermore she didn't tell us what time we needed to be checked out by neither did she mention the internet facilities. These issues would have been helpful on arrival.

Chris from Malvern, GB (Other) 19 July 2007

the hotel is clean, smart and relaxing. we had all the facilities we needed, but a few little touches would have improved it, like tissues in the bathroom, and a do not disturb sign for the door! excellant food and nice friendly staff. parking was a rwal issue on the sat night, but a breeze on the sunday and very conveniant. well located just on the outskirts, easily walkable into town but far enough away to get straight on with your journey in the morning without having to drive into the city centre. (97053871)

positive comments a clean modern environment with plenty of space to relax in. very good food, even on a chaotic saturday night.
negative comments the chaotic saturday night was obviusly rattling the staff and we got a very bad nights sleep. you need to discourage stag and hen dos from using your hotel to keep the quality atmosphere. parking was chaos that night.

Malcolm from Chelmsford, United Kingdom;GB (Young couple) 13 December 2006

The car park was full and overcrowded to the point that it was almost impossible to move without hitting other cars - the nearest parking was in Granary Wharf, 5 very cold minutes brisk walk away. Probably because of the good price, a number of groups on a Saturday night out were staying and caused the fire alarm to be set off in the middle of the night. (99402052)

negative comments Lack of car parking. Stag parties.

I found the food and drink a little expensive,the bar menu did not offer a great variety,it did not encourage us to eat within the hotel. Room service menu was poor when i phoned to order food,only sandwiches were available. Overall i found the hotel to be welcoming,found the staff polite and helpful and the area were the hotel is situated was quiet and tranquil. (3305074493)
