Why Concert-goers love it

Just a 16-minute walk to the O2 Academy and less than 20 minutes to First Direct Arena, Avalon is close enough to the action while staying out of the noise. The quiet neighborhood vibes make it a great place to relax after a loud night out, and the free on-site parking makes late-night arrivals stress-free. With 14:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out, there’s a bit of wiggle room for those recovering from a late gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends heading to a show and needing a base with flexible space
• Solo travelers coming to see a favorite artist
• Couples making a weekend of live music and city exploring
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space away from city centre crowds
• Budget-conscious music fans who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While Avalon doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, rooms with kitchenettes in select units let you whip up something late-night. Plus, with the University area just outside your door, there are plenty of takeaway spots and cafés within walking distance. Breakfast isn’t included, but you’ll find nearby cafés open late or early to suit your schedule.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find a bar on-site, but you’re just a short walk or ride from Leeds’ buzzing nightlife scene. Bars and pubs line the streets between the guest house and major venues, with plenty of relaxed lounges and student-friendly spots for post-show drinks.

What People Say

Guests love Avalon’s clean rooms, friendly service, and free parking. The location is frequently praised for being close to venues but quiet at night, making it easy to get rest after a gig. Reviewers also highlight the value for money and ease of check-in.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that parts of the decor are a little dated, and not all rooms have kitchen facilities—so be sure to book accordingly if you’re planning to self-cater. Also, there’s no elevator, which may be a consideration for those with mobility issues.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a peaceful, affordable base within walking distance of Leeds’ top concert venues, Avalon Guest House hits all the right notes.
