Guests frequently highlight the hotel's modern and clean appearance, with spacious rooms in a good location for accessing Leeds city centre and within walking distance of the train station. The hotel's proximity to the canal provides a pleasant environment, and convenient parking is available next door in a multi-storey car park.

there was no light near the mirror in the room, made applying makeup difficult. the socket was at ground level. i noticed a limited drink selection. i don't drink tea or coffee, so hot chocolate would have been nice.
