Great value modern hotel in central location
Pros:

Great location close to shops and only a ten minute walk to my daughter’s accommodation. Spacious clean room and bathroom. Welcoming reception area. Great value for a midweek stay. Didn’t try it but breakfast for £12 is a very good deal. Discounted parking at Citipark next door so only paid £7 for almost 24 hours.

Cons:

Nothing

Falta de respeito com I cliente que efetua a reserva e efetua o pagamento
Pros:

Não tinha quarto disponível para mim. Efetuei minha reserva com muita antecedência e chegando no hotel depois de um dia de viagem, não havia quarto. Pq o hotel vendeu mais quartos do que havia disponível. Resumindo foram encontrar outro hotel há cerca de 30 minutos de distância as 02 horas da madrugada. Não consegui descansar direito pois tinha compromisso às 8 horas da manhã na acomodação estudantil da minha filha que fica próxima ao hotel Íbis que efetuei a reserva. Uma falta de respeito com o cliente no sentido que, vcs confirmaram a reserva e eu com toda a minha logística organizada. Precisei mudar tudo e passei o dia 15/09 com mal estar por não ter descansado bem a noite anterior e ter passado estresse de não ter local para eu dormir com a minha filha. Peço o reembolso desta estadia que não usufruí.

Cons:

Nada não usufrui, overbook

Worth the money, excellent location and staff.
Pros:

Very central, easily located, car park was right next to the hotel and it’s discounted parking for staying there. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. Definitely good if as well if you’re going to the O2 Victoria, was only about a 10 minute walk if that. The restaurant that’s attached to the hotel was absolutely brilliant as well, one of the best meals we had while we were in Leeds. Also AC during the summer was a major plus.

Cons:

The bathroom was incredibly small to the point we had to remove the toilet roll holder just so we could comfortably sit on the toilet and neither of us are big people. The handrail in the shower was also loose and if either of us were elderly or prone to falls it definitely would have been dangerous as it looked ready to come out of the wall at any second.
