Eat & Drink

The Gateway Bar & Grill, located only a few steps from this Leeds hotel, will spoil you with British cuisine.

“In my opinion, this city-center hotel balances modest expectations with cleanliness and an accessible price point. I found the city skyline views and proximity to venues like the O2 Academy particularly appealing for couples and families. I believe it makes a practical base, foregoing unnecessary frills for a comfortable stay.”

The bed was very soft and comfortable. I slept like a log all night. Also, I found the dimmable lights very useful.

This is a budget hotel, that's clear. It provides a bed and a shower, often all you need. The check-in was very prompt. Staff members were cheerful even on New Year's day. The hotel is reasonably priced (i really thought so).

My room lacked a kettle to make tea or coffee. I would pay more for this amenity.

The room was clean, and the location was great.

I was very disappointed. The room was tiny. It felt more like a cell. The shower and toilet were not really separated, so there was no privacy.
