I noted the family-friendly facilities and proximity to attractions like the Royal Armouries Museum, which could be a bonus if mixing work with leisure. While it may show some signs of wear, its reliable service and inclusive breakfast still make it a solid option in Leeds.”

fantastic stay with great staff!

friendly staffsafe car parkpoor soundproofing
i stayed here for a few nights and the staff were super friendly and helpful i got an informative brief when i arrived and felt very welcome the location worked perfectly for me as i needed easy access to nearby areas i also appreciated the safe car park i was assured it was cctv monitored which gave me extra peace of mind.
the soundproofing wasn't the best i could hear doors slamming and people talking in the corridor this woke me up during the night a gap under the door may be to blame for the noise issue

The breakfast was fresh and tasty, with many options available.
The car park system was awful. It was difficult to obtain a receipt, and staff assistance was required (it should have been straightforward). I found this frustrating and time-consuming.
