Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is just a 10-minute journey from Leeds city center and the station, offering tastefully decorated rooms with high-quality bathrooms. The check-in process was smooth, and the hotel exudes character. However, the late-night noise from nearby drunks detracted from an otherwise excellent experience.
The hotel's room was very nice and very comfortable, spacious yet cozy and quirky, with an oldie-woldie charm that needs a bit of attention. The service was charming, friendly, and very helpful, especially from the reception staff. The location was excellent, with very friendly and accommodating staff and an option for an early check-in. While the dining was lovely, it was on the expensive side. The facilities were satisfactory but could use some improvement.
The hotel's location is excellent, right by the river and just a short walk from the station and city center. The rooms, however, are in need of a serious facelift, which was disappointing. The service was lovely, with complimentary wine on arrival, but some operational issues were noted. The dining experience provided by room service was unique and convenient. The facilities are decent but could use improvement.
The hotel offers beautiful rooms with an excellent view and lovely decor, though let down by a very dated bathroom. The location is excellent near the river and town center, but noise from outside impacted sleep quality. Service was friendly and helpful, with a slight downside of no longer having valet parking. Dining options were good with some overpriced items. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel has lovely old touches like the timbered vaulted ceiling and a rustic feel. Though the rooms are a bit care-worn and could use some TLC, with some investment, it could become a special boutique hotel. The service is top-notch, with high levels of customer care, and the location, despite being noisy in some rooms, is excellent for getting around the city. The breakfast buffet, while well-cooked and tasty, is a bit overpriced. Overall, a place with great potential that needs some refurbishment.
