Lovely staff but awful hotel.

Liked: Location was good for what I needed. Clean sheets
Disliked: This hotel is very old. Things on the room are either broken or dirty carpets. The room was noisy and all I could smell everywhere was weed. The shower was so impractical that washing my hair was not possible as the stream was so weak you could hardly wet your body let alone fully wet and soap your hair. I rarely give any negative reviews. However having travelled extensively and stayed in some low budget hotels I have to say this was not a good place to stay. Especially for £50 per night.

Never again. Disgustingly filthy! Next...

Liked: The breakfast was okay and the Eastern European receptionist lady (who doubled as the breakfast server) was polite, efficient and friendly .
Disliked: FILTHY! The room was truly disgusting. Probably the filthiest hotel room I've ever stayed in. The taps in the bathroom were all loose. There was mould growing on the bathroom ceiling. The toilet seat was soaked with urine and disintegrating. The walls of the bathroom and bedroom were stained with spillages that look like they have never been wiped up. Under the bed there was at least a centimetre of dust and a half-used Vaseline jar on its side!! Eww! The bedside lights were disfunctional and dangerous with bare wires that nearly poked in my eyes. :-(

Very enjoyable.

Liked: The hotel was in an ideal location for Headingley cricket ground.Just a 10minute walk for us and we are pensioners so not even 10 minutes for the younger generation.You have got to look past the decor and concentrate on the things that really matter,The bedding and towels were spotless and the room was clean but as i said,very dated.Nice comfy beds.The full English breakfast was lovely and you could have cereals as well for just 7 pound.The one thing that stood out for us was the staff.They were lovely people and couldn't do enough for you.

Leeds overnighter

Liked: 3rd stay so they're obviously getting something right. If you come here expecting a budget hotel then you will not be disappointed. This place gets a lot of things right? And one of those is a really good breakfast and another is a genuinely friendly, warm welcome from staff
Disliked: Radiator in the ensuite of room 231 is stuck on and red hot in the middle of summer
