Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The hotel is just ok, regular Ibis Budget. Super close to city centre, safe area, clean rooms and great staff. Even though I had to suffer two nights the noise coming from the adjacent rooms and corridor, the receptionist was very considered and offered me an extra night for free as compensation. All of the reception staff were very nice and welcoming.

    The room was very spacious with comfy beds/pillows etc, it was very clean and had everything we needed. Great location for the city centre shops, train station and music venues, restaurants & night life. Slept really well and it was surprisingly quiet from the hustle and bustle of city life, felt safe walking around the area at night too. Breakfast was really good - self service style with a good selection of both cooked & continental options. All the staff I met were very professional, friendly and approachable.

    Great hostel. Clean, quiet and the breakfast/ facilities is good. Loved the art deco theme. The main rooms are of course shared with bunk beds and there are lockable lockers for any valuables. Staff were helpful and friendly.

    Excellent location and cheaper than other Leeds Central establishments. Only discovered on arrival that it is a school for clergy, but this explains the austerity of furniture and decor, and certainly made for an interesting and different overnight stay! No frills but pristinely clean. Good breakfast at communal tables. Feels like a convent mixed with a Youth hostel.

    It was cheap, clean, had car parking and is in a good location. It's a budget hotel so not somewhere you'd stay for luxury. But for a cheap stay in leeds then this was exactly what I was after.
