Ava Residence

We booked this ‘hotel’ due to
It’s location, price and distance to the first direct arena (as advertised)
When we arrived the outside of the ‘hotel’ was dull, dinghey and not as described on the photo on the website. The windows were filthy inside and out and weeds everywhere. The estate the ‘hotel’ was in was in a very poor area with a lot of questionable people walking the streets.
The man who ran the place came out and moaned at my Dad several times to park his car closer to the kerb (moving car parking space entirely to another location) insisting it was for his cars protection - after a 4 hour drive not what we needed we just wanted to get in and unpack. Once in the man showed us to the reception (a box room with a phone and very
Messy desk) gave us a key chain with two keys (front door and room key) he then showed us to our ‘room’ and stayed in the room with us whilst he continued to talk for the next very awkward 15 minutes touching our towels and bed trying to explain directions that we didn’t ask for. He explained the room should have been £100 and we got a ‘very good deal’ the room was apparently 2 weeks old new paint and bed etc.
The mattress was 2 inches thick and rock hard, both my father and I had to wear earplugs to drown out the reception phone that kept ringing at 2/3/4am with no answer and paper thin walls. No shower gel or toiletries provided. Tv was the tiniest I’ve ever seen. The new paint was all over the electrical cables (no masking tape used)

I am glad I have discovered Ava Residence for occasional trips to Leeds. I would suggest a bit of a clean up of the communal kitchen, inside the cupboards! But I will recommend it to others. Thank you for friendly welcome, and advice about ordering takeaways.

The man that checked us in was very attentive and tried his best to help with any request that was put forward.

Every thing every person............................ Nice choice

You get what you pay for here. It served us well as we just needed a bed for the night. The furniture varied, but a lot of it was damaged. My partner didn't find the bed that comfotable but I was fine. However, the bathroom was nice, and there was a mini fridge & kettle. If you want to check in out of the hours though, it's a £15 fee.

Very good experience. Helpful and welcoming. Good clean and comfortable room.

Absolutely lovely staff, made you feel very welcome and at home, can’t fault the place. Everything was just what you want.

The pictures on Hotels.com are computer generated. Do not be mis led into thinking its a nice hotel. It was more like a half way house. Any hotel with a mobile number on the door is not a hotel. Terrible place you need to remove the pictures off the site & put mine on that I have attached.

It was surprisingly big. it was close to city centre.

Stayed for one night due to a concert. Was pleased to find hotel cleaner than expected and more modern than the exterior suggested. Towels and toiletries were a nice touch. Mattresses could have been better quality but check in was quick. No funny smells or noises, we were in here just to sleep and leave early.

Sonny was so helpful, and as there were no other hotels in Leeds due to the football we realy appreciated that he accommodated us. Thank you for staying up late Sonny and all your help

Sunny was very welcoming. Low budget, comfortable place to stay

Good value, room was nice and had everything we needed including a kettle and tea/coffee. Parking was very handy. Comfy bed and spacious enough for 2 people. Plenty of plug sockets including by the bed which is good when you have so many things to charge up over night!
The rest of the hotel was rather tired and to be honest quite institutional-looking though (a bit like a student halls of residence), would be nice it it has a bit of an update and had more of a hotel or guesthouse feel. The room itself was absolutely fine though.
The manager was very friendly and phoned a few hours before we checked in to confirm.
