Guest Reviews
- N8997WRandyr (10/5): Sharon on reception - Fantastic hotel and Sharon on reception was brilliant. So friendly and helpful I would strongly recommend. First time staying here and will certainly book here next time I sm here
- GDog1980 (4/5): Avoid. Must be better hotels nearby. - 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.
- dellar876 (10/5): Helpful member of staff - 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.
- 142graemew (10/5): Does what it says on the tin.... - Did what Premier Inn are good at - a convenient place to stay for a one night stay. Easy parking; comfortable bed; decent shower; attentive staff; good breakfast. Thank you - will certainly use Premier Inn again.
- JoH1967 (8/5): Comfortable but a bit Shabby - 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.
- beaufinlayo (10/5): Best staff ever! - I was blown away by the professionalism and kindness of each and every member of staff! Very lovely place to stay and everyone is very helpful and friendly.
- t166err (10/5): Exceeded expectations. - Absolutely brilliant stay. Food was amazing. Rooms clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. Will certainly stay here again. Small charge to use car park but being close to the stadium i understand why.
- Wanderer33261621795 (4/5): Avoid - 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
- C7604FEleilac (10/5): Amazing - Warm welcome from Jamie, clean and very friendly, next door to a pub which do lovely meal! Very comfy beds and nice shower! Really relaxing!
- abbiesm96 (10/5): Great value - 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.
- B9338YXbrendae (10/5): Highly qualified staff Kelly - Exceptional service by Kelly who was highly professional when l nearly pass out with diabetes. She looked after me provided a drink and a banana to get my sugar levels up while she also attended to other guests checking them in . Everything was clean spotless and the food was top quality. Good team work with the staff helping each other
Would definitely recommend it’s the best Premier Inn l have ever stayed in .
- johndK486EL (10/5): Great stay, highly recommend - 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.
- B2690OSdereks (10/5): Elland Road - Have been staying in numerous Premier Inn hotels lately and have always been well looked after , that said , Elland Rd has something special to offer , chiefly the warmth and welcoming nature of the staff here , and , special mention goes to Kirsty , thank you for your hospitality .
- alastairt266 (10/5): Great location, fantastic staff! - 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!
- A102KLclarem (10/5): Home from home - Visiting for a wedding, and needed a nights stay. A smooth book in with hotel staff.
Stopped in for an evening meal, and had a great curry.
Waitresses attentive to dietary needs, very friendly and informative of the local area.
Lovely breakfast in the morning, especially when it came to frying our eggs a certain way.
WELL DONE ALL!
Room as expected as with all your hotels, Excellent stay, with perfect premier in hosts.
We will return
- Jayde1983 (10/5): Sarah is ace! - Sarah was amazing! Really nice host and looked after us. Hotel was quite busy but she was still really attentive and caring. Friendly face after a long work day. Give her a pay rise!
- harryfB4069TC (10/5): Great service all round! - 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.
- 287kaitlanm (10/5): Amazing staff - 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!
- Trek472272 (10/5): Leeds east - Location good. Nice staff . Nice room.
Went for a drink in the Brown Cow next door but it wasn't very nice. Tables dirty so we decided not to eat there.
- O3127MWpaulc (10/5): Great night stay superb value but parking should be free for guests - 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
- lheddietheeagle (4/5): Not the best we have had - Not the best experience, staff very good, food good, cleanliness of the bathroom way off the mark, not sure when the taps were last ran all full of black matter.
- judithcH7171SG (4/5): Disappointing experience - Our experience at this premier inn was somewhat disappointing in many ways. We requested a disabled person room for a wheelchair user. At first glance the room was very suitable however the bed was so low that the guest wasn’t able to get off it without the help of 2 people. The bedding in one of the rooms was dirty (covered in makeup from a previous guest . It is quite far from any amenities to eat therefore we were limited to eating in the restaurant which was poor quality food. We had the steak dinner which was cold when served. Again in the morning we had breakfast which was an all you can eat cooked breakfast however there were items on the menu that weren’t available and what was available was lukewarm and very slow to arrive leaving a lot of people queuing waiting, it was to be paid for before eating so we were left with no choice but to put up with it.
Altogether we were very disappointed with the whole experience sadly.
- TonyDublin_Ireland (6/5): Pretty average Premier Inn - We had stayed here before for match purposes about 6 years ago and it was good value for a home match. Getting into Leeds isn't straightforward on public transport and as we had a room at the back, the motorway noise was a constant factor... just an ok stay.
- jm2201 (10/5): Perfect - Everything you need from a hotel stay. Free parking. Pub next door. Clean and comfy room. Lovely breakfast inside the hotel, would definitely recommend.
- 325frankieh (10/5): Great hotel - Friendly, helpful staff. Great location for my needs. Hotel was clean with ample carparking. Breakfast was excellent
- herefordliz (10/5): Nice Hotel - Such a lovely hotel, very easy to find. The room was clean and was exactly what I wanted for the weekend. The staff were friendly and helpful, the restaurant was nice, there was enough food to keep you going all day. It is useful having the pub next door. I am looking forward to staying again in the future.
- shanehK1473RS (10/5): Clean and comfortable. - The hotel was absolutely spotless. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the bathroom clean. Staff were fantastic and courteous. Only issue being we could hear every move the heavy footed person(s) above us made.
All around though the hotel was fantastic. Really enjoyed my stay
- Daydream21802150540 (2/5): Worst Premier inn ever - AVOID! On arrival we thought it couldn't be as bad as it looked from the outside! We were wrong! Miles Better Hotels in city centre and better value for money! Worst premier inn we've stayed in we wouldn't return to this premier inn
- V6897KFmarkb (6/5): Refused to honour their promotion , - Booked a two night stay with the free promotional breakfast offer , however the hotel refused to honour the promotion even though we had screenshots as proof , premier inn have confirmed it was an error on their part and offered an apology but refused to offer us any discount / refund off our next stay , we stay at premier inns several times a year but will never book another premier inn ,
- Shanegrimes56 (2/5): Fetch ear plugs and order McDonald's. - I would not stay here again or recommend it for many reasons.
Reception staff are very miserable tiered and worn out.
Rooms are noisy (see attached vids) bathroom fan is so noisy until turned off and so is the air con unit it will keep you awake unless you turn them off like the motor or fan units needs urgent attention or replacement.
I raised this issue with staff but no feedback or result.
Contractors paradise so you will get woke up early as 05:30am.
Food is microwaved and over priced.
- bernadettebQ1847FN (10/5): Welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend. - Clean and comfortable. Staff were all really helpful and friendly and very welcoming. Makes such a difference to see friendly faces when you’re away from home. Thank you to all for being so hospitable
- paulfD1076JW (2/5): Bad bad not good. - Arrived at 10pm after a long slow journey. Couldn't check in until 11pm because there was a problem with the keycard system and reception couldn't issue any new cards. Wouldn't have been so bad but reception were in a right flap and didn't keep any of us informed. Very stressful not knowing if we would be able to get into our rooms or not. Terrible nights sleep because people outside pub next door chatting loudly at 2am and noise from car sound systems. Even earlier plugs not adequate. Additionally, basin blocked and draining very slowly, net curtains fell down, bathroom in poor state of repair.
- V1949PMkateb (10/5): Leeds Fest Trip - Very friendly staff, quick and easy check in, very helpful and a super clean and tidy room, very helpful with sorting taxis too :))
- 189erlendm (10/5): Great Hotel! - Me and my mate was attending Leeds Festival, and on purpose booked Hotel closer to the Festival.
Nice and cleaned room, very kind staff and the location is close to grocery store and a place to eat ( The Brown Cow ) setting a cozy environment around the Hotel.
We were Very happy with this hotel!
- Happiness64472312308 (10/5): Generational service - Incredible and out of the this world service by the one and only, Jamie. He was very friendly and welcoming to me and my girlfriend and gave us some advice for Leeds fest too! What a stay we had and thank you to the staff! Specifically Jamie and Katie <3
- F7265EFcourtneyh (10/5): Amazing customer service - Absolutely amazing service from both Jamie and Katie super friendly and willing to help, loved the stay and had such fun for the Leeds Fest weekend, cannot recommend enough!!!
- A6971DFjc (2/5): WORST HOTEL STAY EVER - PREMIER INN SHOULD BE ASHAMED - I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone, particularly if you are staying more than one night. If I could give zero I would. We already knew it wasn't air conditioned but the temperature in the room was between 27 - 29 degrees for the 6 days we stayed. Two fan only circulating warm air. There was no shelf in the room where the mirror is, just the hair dryer hanging down. Inadequate storage if staying more than a couple of night. Paint flaking off the walls. Reception staff staff couldn't help and the room wasn't cleaned when we asked reception. Don't bother with Guest Relations afterwards as they don't give a toss either as we were given a tiny credit
- Away4days (10/5): Excellent stay, staff brilliant. - First class, everything you could ask for and more at a Premier Inn. All staff brilliant, but must highlight Jamie who was inspirational to all staff and was polite, knowledgeable, informative and a pleasure to meet. A real and genuine credit to Premier Inn.
Breakfast time extremely busy but managed brilliantly by the staff, must highlight the chef, who kept everything fresh and tasty.
- Iancharlesellis (10/5): Decent hotel, rubbish Tea Bags - I Stayed in a 1 bedroom room. At check I waited for about 10 mins while the lady infant of me was being checked in, there was a confusion with her booking . My check in was quick after that, when I got into the room it was very warm so they had put a fan on which was nice, I had some cold drinks and was looking for a fridge but there was'nt one, so my drinks got warm, I also had a pint of milk for my tea because im not fussed on the little cartons they supply. Being in Leeds I thought they would supply Yorkshire Tea bags but instead they had rubbish PG Tips, I had to use 2 tea bags for 1 cup of tea the get a decent brew, so if you like a nice cup of tea best take your own tea bags.
The shower was nice, it had a nice flow through the shower head and was quite relaxing. there was enough towels and there was a shower soap dispenser in the shower .
Had a decent sleep, it was quiet enough until I heard the occupants above walking around at 4am, the floor boards were creaking.
- Gazbrid69 (10/5): Awesome stay - Took my 2 boys..Liam (11) and Oliver (8) to this hotel. 1st time we've ever stayed in a hotel and it was just amazing from start to finish. Reception staff were warm friendly and welcoming. The rooms were cozy, well presented and stocked with a few bits to make a hot drink. The beds are just awesome...cudda stayed all week just to lay in them!!. Breakfast was lovely n very tasty.
Liam rated the stay 9.5/10 (half a mark off coz internet wasnt up to his standards 🤣)
Oliver gave a 7/10 🙄...(low score due the the fact they served apple juice at breakfast n it makes liam fart apparetly 🤷♂️🤣...altho seems a tad harsh on the hotel 🤣🤣)
For me a 10/10. Perfect stay 🥰
