Hotels near First Direct Arena, Leeds

We enjoyed our stay,a little disappointed that check in was delayed till 4.15pm as the laundry had not been delivered.We were offered a complimentary drink however I would have appreciated a message to forewarn us of the delay. Any way things happen. Our room on this occasion was larger than the corner room we had a few nights earlier and the temperature was good (the air conditioning was faulty previously so the room was very cold )Breakfast was good with plenty of different options . After check-out we were able to store our luggage for a few hours before we departed for the airport. Staff are polite and respectful and I would be happy to recommend this hotel and to stay there again in the future.

This was the best value-for-money accommodation during my 20-day in-depth tour of the UK. The location is practically central, just a few hundred meters from the train station. There's public parking next to the hotel, though it's a bit pricey at £37 for one night. Right next to the hotel is a shopping mall with everything you could need, including lots of great food. There's a Thai restaurant there that's particularly excellent. If I ever come back, this will definitely be my go-to hotel again 🏨

Hotel was lovely, fab location. However breakfast could be more organised was very chaotic. Coming from a hospitality background I appreciate things can be difficult when busy, which it was but a bit of added customer service and a smile wouldn’t go a miss. Staff rolling their eyes and sighing during service made us feel unwelcome, like we were a problem being there as they were struggling with the amount of customers.

Fab hotel, easy access to train station and town. Lovely comfy beds, plenty of tea/coffee, very quiet and clean room. Fabulous bar and lounge areas and friendly helpful staff.

Room by reception, very very noisy. No soap and shower gel in the bathroom. No hair dryer. Hotel wasn’t busy and there was plenty of rooms of the same one we booked but, they chose to stick us there. That room should oy be used when hotel is at capacity. Think the receptionist was only interested in upgrading us for an extra fee. She sort of blackmailed us, she said this is your room if you don’t upgrade, like wth

The hotel itself was excellent and well appointed for our purposes. I would definitely book to stay again. Particularly convenient for Temple Newsam park where we were attending Slam Dunk festival, and for M1 access. The only issue was checking in, where the hotel only had one room listed under the booking reference although all my paperwork confirmed I had booked and paid for two. On a full weekend, it was disconcerting. After a lot of head scratching, they noted there was another room booking made 1 minute after the one they could find, that didn't have a name attached. Not sure if this was an issue with trip.com or Ramada systems, but it did cause inconvenience and stress to both us and the staff trying to check us in. Perhaps this issue could be looked at please?

Hey guys! I’m writing a review to inform everyone before they booked this place! Leonardo hotel is really good considering its close to the city and the room is quite clean. However please do come prepared to bring your own amenities. I’m talking about your own toothbrush, toothpaste, body lotion, etc. The hotel won’t provide you with any of that, they have it in the hotel but they cost roughly £3 pounds each! If you forgot your essentials i suggest you go check out boots or superdrugs to buy some stuff! The breakfast is okay though. £14 per person.

The location is excellent, just about a 5-minute walk from the station. Although the facilities aren't new, they are very clean and well-maintained. The breakfast is simple but perfectly adequate. The coffee machine was a real highlight. All the staff were very pleasant. I would definitely like to stay here again if I have the chance.

Handy location for us to get to Garforth train station as we had a show to attend in York. Staff were lovely too! Partner enjoyed the swimming pool. Would stay again if ever in the area. Easy to find from the motorway as we're from out of town. Thanks for having us.

Have stayed several times when visiting family. Was disappointed this time not to have a fridge I had assumed all rooms had them and due to me booking later than normal I'd paid a higher rate than usual but got a shabbier room.I think they had changed the room I had booked as I'd booked a standard double but opened door up to a small room with a double and single bed set up. I didnt want my towels changing or room servicing but i witnessed reception staff constantly telling people they couldn't have there rooms serviced as they hadn't asked the day before and if you dont ask they dont go in to even change cups or empty bins. It hasn't put me off staying again.
