"Centrally located with several shopping centers nearby, and also very close to the train station. The room quality is comparable to a typical 5-star hotel in China. As someone who's not used to British food, booking the hotel breakfast was a good decision; the buffet offered enough options for me to find something I liked."

The Queens Hotel

The Queens Hotel

📍 New Station Street City Square, Leeds
★★★★ 9.1 (69 reviews)

"I had wanted to stay in this hotel since I was a kid, so I was looking forward to a bit of comparative luxury after only ever using Travelodges and B&Bs. It may be my funny coloured hair and tattoos, but the security asked to see my room key repeatedly throughout our one night stay. Went outside to pick up some shopping- show keycard. Went to reception with an enquiry- show keycard. Popped outside briefly- show keycard. Return from night out, show keycard to enter hotel, show it to approach the lift, and again whilst waiting for lift. It was worse than Manchester airport security and made me feel very unwelcome. Which was a shame, as check in was lovely and we were given a room with a bath as requested, so I had high hopes. I won't bother in future, and will stay at a Travelodge, as it's clearly more my level"

Hilton Leeds City

Hilton Leeds City

📍 Neville St, Leeds
★★★★ 9.1 (91 reviews)

"Really nice hotel. Arrived very early and had both rooms ready which was a wonderful welcome and really appreciated! Friendly check in and a really clean, nice looking hotel. Car park is small and really tight to get out of so don't take a big SUV! Only issue was with pillows not being firm enough for our preference but that's a personal sensitivity. We usually take ours with us. Overall, a lovely hotel and will defo stay again."

Ibis Styles Leeds City Centre Arena ★★★
"Very pleasant hotel with super friendly staff and convenient parking. The only disappointment was the meal options. Attached restaurant operates room service for the hotel but with very limited options, long waiting time and… you have to go and get it yourself. And your meal is served in a paper bag which is very off putting. Moreover they got my order wrong."

Ibis Leeds Centre Marlborough Street ★★★
"The hotel didn’t take cash and that was a bit inconvenient for me since I don’t have a British bank scoping nor digital currency. But other than that the staff were friendly and customer service was great and the ambience and environment was good. The location was very accessible but not so easy to get buses and taxis from that particular spot."

"The hotel is located just next to the station which makes it very convenient for travellers. I had booked the city view room and hence it was a good view from the windows too and I was able to see the Christmas Market/ City Square from my room. Although the location is superb, and the hotel looks nice too no doubt. I feel that it could still add some amenities like a swimming pool or other things too."
