Avoid. Must be better hotels nearby.
Pros:

Rooms dirty and smelly. Water kept leaking from somewhere in the bathroom causing puddles. Had to ask to have the sheets changed because stained. Cleaner don’t do anything. Mugs were not changed so we had to ask the grumpy lady on reception for more. Very rude stating we should have 4 people in a room when it was a family room booked for 2 adults and kids. Everything was too much trouble. Breakfast was cold.

Stayed here while working. Had a really long day but as soon as I got here I was greeted by Jamie he was amazing! Helped me check in and showed me where I’d be having breakfast, couldn’t be more helpful. Would definitely recommend staying. Thankyou Jamie.

Comfortable but a bit Shabby
Pros:

The beds are as good as ever and we had a good night's sleep. Staff too are friendly and helpful. However the room itself, carpets and upholstered chair, lowered baths and toiletry bottles were looking decidedly shabby. We have been using this hotel on and off for quite a few years and although they have changed the communal areas, some effort needs to be put into the rooms.

Avoid
Pros:

Arrived a little early and had to wait to 3pm to check in woman said rooms were ready but its a strict 3pm policy unless you pay £15 would not pay £15 to enter the room 20 mins earlier which then causes a big queue to check in a the most smallest desk as the self check in queue was just as big and slow . Room was spacious for a family but we had no cold water all taps were running just hot not good when you need to make drinks so had to keep going to reception for them to give us cold pints of water . £5 to park the car for 24 hours worst premier inn I’ve stayed in with such miserable un friendly staff

Exceeded our expectations. Great value for money. One of the more modern premier inn's we have stayed at. Staff were very friendly and helpful, room was clean and comfortable, can't complain.

Car parking was easy and a big car park, not far out the city centre.

Great stay, highly recommend
Pros:

Stayed at Elland Road as it was the nearest option for the Leeds United game.

Bar was busy but had a really good vibe to it. Staff were really friendly and the room was spotless. Will definitely return when I next see Leeds play at home.

Great location, fantastic staff!
Pros:

Fantastic Premier Inn, in a great location for the stadium, but also only a short bus ride from the city centre. It's also easily accessible from the motorway, but far enough away that you can't hear it. The staff were phenomenal throughout our stay and cannot thank them enough for their help. Also very clean and not too dated like some premier inns can be. Will definitely stay again the next time I am in Leeds!

Great service all round!
Pros:

My friends and I had a great stay! The manager Kerrie was so accommodating and helpful, she made sure our rooms were all on the same floor which made our lives easier after.

The rest of the staff were great as well, everything was clean and tidy. We could not have asked for better service, this is the best Premier Inn stay I’ve had.

Amazing staff
Pros:

Stayed for a boxing event in Leeds, check in was so quick and easy, staff are so friendly and are up for having a laugh- especially at the bar. Went out for the night but breakfast was good in the morning, full fry up is what was needed! Comfy bed, only a shame that you have to pay for parking now!

Great night stay superb value but parking should be free for guests
Pros:

My go to hotel when staying in Leeds got a great deal £43 for a Friday night with free breakfast for me and the Mrs. We stayed in room 327 was nice and quiet clean and warm …opposite side of hotel faces motorway try avoid if you can. I generally call on morning of my booking to request the quieter side and it’s never a problem.
Staff are all lovely really friendly went out for tea but me and my 2 sons who live in Leeds came back for a few beers vibe in bar was nice we sat in a corner hotel had music on low fir back ground noise proper old school tunes on Smooth Radio …..Cruzcampo on draft ice cold and lush bar staff friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Brekkie this morning was great full English left with a full belly …..see you all in November guys.
Only small gripe is guests having to pay for parking was a fiver don’t think guests should have to pay tbh
