Great location. Clean. Modern. Well equipped rooms. Comfy bed!
Pros:

Work visit to Leeds. The hotel is ideally located with discounted (£12 for 24h) car parking and few mins walk away. I had a family room which was huge for one person. The room is clean and well equipped (kettle/coffee/tea/milk) Bayliss and Harding hand soap and shower gel.
Hotel very clean.
Bed super comfortable.
Easy self check in.

Great Value, Great Location – Exactly What You Expect from Premier Inn
Pros:

We stayed at the Premier Inn in Leeds city centre and had a really good experience. With Premier Inn you always know what you’re getting – clean rooms, comfy beds and excellent value – and this hotel is exactly that.

The location is perfect if you’re planning to explore the city. It’s an easy walk to the shops, bars and restaurants, and ideal if you’re heading to a gig at Leeds Arena.

Breakfast is another highlight. The all-you-can-eat cooked and continental buffet always sets us up for the day, with plenty of choice and everything refreshed regularly.

Reliable, affordable and in a great spot – ideal for a city break or overnight stay in Leeds.

DIRT COMING UP OUT OF THE SHOWER TRAY - PERMIER IN DO NOT CARE
Pros:

DO not stay at this hotel.

I paid for a room upgrade and when I woke in the morning I had a shower and the shower tray was full of other peoples dirt it was totally blocked. The sink was blocked and they were fully aware of this as they closed the plug the smell when opened was disgusting.

I complained because they have a form but this was their reply (even though you can't report something instantly when you are in the shower !

We do advise guests to report any issues to reception as soon as the incidents occur as our reception team would've been able to resolve these issues. Please note that there is a buzzer located at reception which can alert our team of your presence. The reception's number is also listed on the back of the key card, on our website and the confirmation email for your booking. As you didn't report any issues with the room, you did not give our team the opportunity to try and rectify this problem and so we can only apologise for the experience you had while staying with us.

It seems this is a standard get out clause for them.

I will charge back and never use Premier Inn again as the last few times now the hotels have been more like Hostels !

Disappointing
Pros:

It was ok nothing special as improvements were ongoing to the bar area, we couldn't have a drink or eat at the Hotel. We had booked this month's in advance for a show. Complimentary breakfast of coffee and croissants wasn't great. The shower was ok and bed comfortable the hot water to wash your hands was slow and like warm, the heating in the room was just about bearable.

Average at best
Pros:

Second visit here and it has really went down hill however they are in the middle of a refurb of bar/ restaurant which was badly needed . Hopefully this will help . Anyway we were at an event at st the first direct arena so through work they had booked 14 rooms . Arriving at 4pm 3 of the rooms not quite ready , the virtual check in was broken ( along with one of the lifts ) so a queue out the door to start with
My room had an actual musty smell in it ( accessible room) which was not nice .
The bed was comfy and everything there that you needed , well except fridge which they don’t provide
Now the breakfast!!! We knew the restaurant would be closed however we were told there would still be provisions . So tea: coffee , fruit and stale croissants 🥐. Not good at all . We crossed the road t Wetherspoons to get our breakfast so overall not the best stay . Other than the location to the arena

Staff shortage
Pros:

Good room, and easy check in. No parking. For a Saturday night there was a surprisingly shortage of staff. One person working at bar and restaurant. I was told to wait for 30 minutes before anyone would even take my order. We went somewhere else

Premier perfect (almost)
Pros:

Great hotel
Friendly and helpful staff
Location is perfect.
Serve coffee after 9pm which is a dream and rare as most hotels don't.
Everything is very simple at premier inns which makes life easier.
The only thing they dont do is offer food between 12pm and 5pm so we were unable to eat there before the concert at 6pm and had to go into Leeds town and get some food. Think they are missing a trick here too.
But overall great hotel. Been a few times and its always nice and easy.

Smart, New Evolution family room
Pros:

Perhaps my favourite Premier Inn so far. I guess it was the ‘New Evolution’ upgrade but it was certainly smart and the family room was a good size and laid out well. Happy that the bath/shower now has a proper glass splash cover so no more wet floor.
