The hotel offers spacious rooms above a lively pub, with a great selection of gin but can get noisy due to the open room music bar. The staff are very helpful and friendly, leaving ear plugs in the room. The location is vibrant and perfect for nightlife but noisy, requiring earplugs for light sleepers.

The hotel is in a great location, especially suitable for young people looking to enjoy the vibrant nightlife of Leeds. The friendly staff made our stay enjoyable; however, accessibility for disabled guests might be challenging due to the location of the fire exit. Overall, a highly recommended spot for couples seeking a lively atmosphere in the heart of the city.

Our room was conveniently located next to the fire exit, though the accessibility for disabled individuals could be improved, but the staff were accommodating and helpful. The room temperature was cozy and comfortable, suitable for a night out in town.

The location couldn't have been better for us, right in the heart of Leeds city center with easy access to the station and nightlife. The old building's charm added to the homely feel, though being alone might cause concerns for safety late at night.

Pricing seemed slightly high for what was offered in terms of dining.

The hotel didn't offer many onsite facilities, but the welcoming atmosphere and convenient location made up for any lack of amenities. Good value for a night in the city.
