A fun and friendly stay in the heart of Leeds.
Pros:

Location was fab, staff were friendly and helpful. Bar and restaurant looked great and was clean and atmospheric. Room was comfy and well equipped. Honestly nothing to fault!

Cons:

There was nothing really. We had a walk in shower room with shower curtains that didn’t reach the floor so water did travel a fair bit meaning we had to be careful when going to the toilet and sink afterwards in case it was slippy. I also forgot my face cloth so a flannel would have been a great edition.

But this is tiny and would not stop me returning!
