Guest Reviews

• Andrea (8/5): -
• Erin (6/5): - Very clean, tidy, ideal for the purpose of my trip. My trip would have been better if I had been notified before that I wouldn’t have pots, pans and utensils to cook with. When I asked at reception, the security guard said he wasn’t sure. I got by just fine as I was only there for three nights, but it was just a shame as I wanted somewhere with a kitchen so I could cook. I had a pleasant stay other than that, just don’t think it was worth the money to have a kitchen that I couldn’t use!
• Soniya (8/5): -
• shona (6/5): - great location, lovely spacious room with kitchenette. clean and nice bathroom the bedding was very poor, I understand this is student accomodation but I would expect a mattress and pillow protector. Very thin mattress and pillow made for uncomfortable nights sleep
• Kerrie (3/5): Location Great ! But room definitely not for 2 people !! 1 cup, 1 towel, tiny bed! -
• James (1/5): Terrible - We arrived and collected keys weren't told where the room was so took some finding, however when entering room there were dirty dishes in sink, noodles in the sink, there was only one towel between me and my girlfriend absolute disgusting
• David (6/5): Not comfortable for 2 adults - Great location and decent enough for a very short stay. Studio in very good condition, clean. Bed too small for 2 adults and uncomfortable mattress/thin pillows, plus there's an electrical socket right at the head of the bed where the pillows are which is inconvenient at best - unusable and banged my head on it while lying in bed. The property host's phone line is disconnected so hard to get hold of them. They didn't contact us with check in details until I chased them by email about 2 hours before we were due to arrive.
• Fernando Hugo (5/5): It's just fine. - Location is great, room was comfortable. It isn't a hotel. It's a student accomodation adapted for short rents. Hence, a lot of the service that you would have in a hotel are not available.
• Naila (10/5): It was overall a wonderful experience at Leonardo. The staff was very cooperative and helpful. - I would suggest to pls provide drinking water and a dust bin in the room.
• Toby (6/5): It was very brief & did the job I required for a very quick stop over! - I didn't know there was breakfast at the property There was no WIFI, I asked for the details to use the wifi & I got no response from the host!
• Arshitha (5/5): -
• Lucy (7/5): Generally good but must be called out that this is Student Accommodation, not a hotel - I did not realise this was student accommodation. It didn't call that out on Booking.com at all. The accommodation was actually lovely, very modern and comfortable, the Studio apartment was comfortable, although there was no comfy sofa or armchair. Just a desk chair and two high stools in the main living area. I think a small sofa would be ideal in there. Unfortunately, there was a half eaten pizza left in the fridge ... 😆and some takeaway rubbish left in the recycling bin. I think just an oversight from the last clean, as the rest of the studio was very clean. I completely forgot to mention this when checking out (well, leaving my key on the desk). I have also had an issue trying to get a VAT receipt. The 'hotel' doesn't provide one, I've had to call Booking.com twice, and they have contacted the hotel twice to ask for one. I've just received an invoice, but with no VAT number on it. Very complicated and an issue when trying to claim on work expenses as there is a time limit on putting these through.
• Alun (8/5): This was a good choice for all reasons mentioned above. Bed was comfortable. Facilities were fine. - See below for comments on breakfast. Location of property was within easy reach of the railway station and university buildings. Also close to good restaurants. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was not available (I was told). Geography of building was tricky at first.
• Hnin Pwint (8/5): -
• Clément (5/5): - Localisation intéressante, chambre propre. Certaines installations ne fonctionnaient pas ou mal (lumière de la salle de bains). Impossibilité d'obtenir une facture après plus d'un mois de relances.
• Honorata (8/5): - Good location
• Sean (7/5): -
• Frank (6/5): Basic but great location and building - Fab building great location. Bathroom v clean. I would recommend it to travelers on a budget or a solo traveler. No frills no kettle or tv it does what it says on the tin. Very poor internet connection in the room I was in. Very basic. it's student accommodations being let out during the summer.
• Josh (8/5): Cheap and cheerful - Location was great, room was clean and just what I needed for one night. Was quiet and peaceful. Although it was a Monday. I was pessimistic reading the other comments but was pleasantly surprised Was dying for a coffee when I woke up.
• Karrolle (4/5): - Bed sheet - not sure if they were changed or not Bins were not emptied Room dusty overall
• Charm (2/5): Good from far, far from good - The aesthetic is lovely. The owner spent on fit and finishes. The bed was absolutely appalling. Mattress was thin, they obviously bought the cheapest ones they could find. I could see the metal springs by eyesight. So bad I didn’t actually stay overnight. So a total waste of money.
• Sally (10/5): Exceptional - Really good value for money in a really nice building. Great location and helpful staff We didn't realise there would be barely anything provided in the kitchenette so had to make an emergency dash to shops for washing up liquid, sponge etc
• Lars (8/5): Very good - All fine, location is superb, the room was clean and calm.
• Carl (2/5): very very basic and over priced for what it was -
• Yasmeen (1/5): Bad - The location was convenient but it was near a bar and a church and it was so loud I had a safety concern incident, tried to contact both the property and booking Booking told me the property will contact me but i didn’t hear anything for them Nothing was solved and we felt unsafe the whole stay.
• Maynard (3/5): Very poor - Location Provide what was advertised It does not match what was advertised both in images and text. No kettle, no crocky, no fridge that work, no towels, no tv that work due to no ariel, bed single not double, pots and pans to cook with. We went planning on saving money by cooking in the accomodation, we could not do this as there was no utilities to cook with. Cost us a fortune to eat out for each meal. There were no towels in shower so had to go and ask for them, they we not replaced the whole time we were there, no one came to clean, and we were not give the stuff to clean with, not even a toilet brush. I expect compensation for misrepresentation and the stress and time i had to put into trying to solve the issue, which other than an email nothing was done Very poor
• Alison (1/5): Bad -
• Way (9/5): Superb -
• Stuart (1/5): Complete Nightmare. Had to spend £175 on another hotel for second night. - Originally nice women who greeted us. Management. Not willing to help. Ok a bad review is worth nothing. Just some troll you say. But I have to say, the situation here was so bad. I had to find a different hotel. and spend £175 pound of money I don't have spare. I couldn't have a night again where we were unable to sleep until 4AM. The basic situation was excessive noise and poor ventilation. If windows was open to get ventilation it was about 70dB where you couldn't hear a phone call until 2AM, due to bar across the street. When asked for other room no night staff had authority. During daytime manager said there was no rooms so I got onto Leonardo. Suddenly there was another room but we were not offered it as he said it was just as bad. I personally don't think so. Spent most of day trying to get somewhere but no. Manager told Leonardo we were offered two others. Complete lie. When I got back there was no one who could do anything again even though I wanted to force them to see other room. Completely brushed off. Leonardo took a statement but still not heard about some compensations.
• Lucy (5/5): Passable -
• Nathan (5/5): A good option when considering budget hotels. The mattress was a real disappointment. - The location was good. The size of the room was a good size. The kitchenette had everything you would need if you're self catering for a prolonged period of time. The shower water pressure was good. The mattress was very cheap and uncomfortable. The air conditioning was centrally controlled, so you had no way to change it or turn it off. The toiletries were limited (1 bar of soap, 1 sachet of shower gel). There was no toilet paper, but you can ask reception for some.
• Gruson (9/5): Superb - Exactly wait 3pm for ckec-in. I arrived at 12.30pm, and I was told that check-in is at 3pm. I then came back at 2.40pm and again I was told that I must wait 3pm. No flexibility there to check if the room was ready, even if I was eager to pay extra.
• Kony (8/5): The apartment was good, although there is some room for improvement. - Great location, very clean, quite good and efficient service at reception during check-in and check-out. My apartment was high (about 4.5 meters) with a mezzanine - it felt spacious. For people who like walking up stairs. The hostel has a pleasant lobby and amenities for guests, such as a pool table. If I were staying with a larger group, this could be an interesting addition to the stay. For business travelers who need an invoice for their stay, this is a real hurdle. The reception is run by an outsourced company that will not issue you an invoice on site—you have to do it online. The hostel owner responds to questions with a long delay, if at all. I managed to get an invoice after leaving with a delay of almost two weeks. As for the apartment itself, a trash can would be useful. It would be nice if the window could be opened more than 10 cm. Such a small gap does not provide adequate ventilation. A small lamp or light above the desk would also be useful.
• John (8/5): Very good -
• Stuart (7/5): Great location great room - The location the room and the security features The only thing I didn’t like was not being able to open the windows with no fan supplied if temperature 30 degree Prius
• Adam (1/5): Awful. Not as advertised. Nothing like worth the money charged! - Almost nothing - the location was okay, but that was about it. This was advertised as an "apartment" NOT a room in student accommodation. Your website promises a private entrance - there wasn't one, the access was via a shared, poorly signed corridor. You website promised the use of a kitchen - there was a sign on the kitchen saying "Not for use by summer guests." There was what can only be described as a "stench" between the exit from the lift and the room door (N302E), which actually made me feel nauseous. I pointed this out to the person behind the counter (he wasn't a receptionist - I had to get through a locked doo to speak to him), he didn't seem that interested saying it was probably some of the Chinese students staying over the summer, which is arguably racist.
• John (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lynn (9/5): Superb - None provided CLEAN FUNCTIONAL ROOM
• Norbert (3/5): Poor -
• Lisa (4/5): Wouldn’t stay again - Location I did not know they were student lets No soap no toilet roll No cups for drinking tap Bed too small and we fell out of it uncomfortable 3 small towels for 3 adults No tv channels had to sign in to get itvx Clean rooms but bare Emailed 8 times for an iron (no reply)!!! I was told we couldn’t leave luggage anywhere so I paid £30 at the train station Then man said in the morning he would of kept luggage behind the reception area It was too late for me to get a refund from train station Just no communication I know it’s 3 rd party booked through booking .com But if your renting out apartments they should be more on it and replenish kitchen and bathroom areas
• Thomas (6/5): Room Did the job, nothing to call home about - No Breakfast No bin in the room, felt a little cramped
• Stuart (8/5): Very good -
• Abdourahman (6/5): Pleasant - Property facilities were amazing, had everything you’ll need in a studio The bathrooms didn’t have a mat , so after showers it gets pretty wet walking out , there wasn’t any Fan available and it gets very hot during summer. Also there wasn’t any brooms or mops to cleanup after cooking for example.
• Briggs (3/5): Good location. But very unhappy with kitchen equipment. - Brill location. I was in Leeds to have an operation at nearby hospital. I picked this location as a place to relax and recoup after before I travelled home The room said it will come with fully equipped kitchen which is main reason I chose this place. However there were no plates, cups, pans, cutlery. There was not even a kettle. Could not make a drink. I am very disapointed as I could not move much due to my operation and could not prepare myself anything. When we spoke with staff they could not help wven though in FAQ they said staff will be happy to assist and all stuff is provided. Also when we arrived there was faceas in the toilet.
• Jayne (7/5): Good location central Leeds. Good security. Warm . Only 3/4 bed not suitable for 2 people. - Location great for the Arena. Good price. Advertised as room for 2 but only a 3/4 bed. Only 1 towel. No toiletteries for 2. No kettle .
• Alan (10/5): Exceptional - The location was good place was excellent for us No problems
• Aurora (4/5): Dirty and poorly done - Good location. Close to supermarkets and short walk to anywhere in Leeds City center. Very nice workout place and nice lounges It was dirty when we arrived. Cutlery dirty, floor dirty and piss around the toilet. The first thing we had to do when we got there was to go buy cleaning products.. and clean the place.. It was a very tiny bed. Not a bed for two people… it was also extremely noisy during the nights because of teenagers smoking and talking loud outside in an open area in the middle of the apartment complex. I had to wake up to go down to tell security in two different night during our stay of 5 nights. We slept very bad in general. The madras had 3D flowers?? And it was really uncomfortable to sleep on… I sent them a message beforehand that we are two people and we want enough towels for both of us. We only got one big towel and one hand towel… Since this is normally a place where people live during studies, I think they know nothing about renting out for shorter stays. You can’t expect somebody who is staying there for 3-7 days to have their own cleaning products with them. And it feels silly to buy cleaning products for such a short time. There wasn’t even any soap to wash the cutlery with. Luckily we had a lot of plans during the days, so we didn’t stay there more than necessary. We will not be going back.
• William (3/5): Wonderful staff ; dreadful place. - I was unaware breakfast was available. There was no waste bin in room. Only one light working. The porter at reception (very friendly!) requested one from the electrician, but it had not arrived by time I left 2 days later.
• Jeevanjot (10/5): I’d definitely recommend this place and would love to be back someday. - The location was great, the staff was very helpful and friendly, and the room was very clean and comfortable.
• Wendy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jessica (6/5): Better than Travellodge but missing essential items - Great location, friendly reception, clean and new facilities, everything clean There was NO ability to make or store drinks or food - just a kettle and mug would would have made an enormous difference and allowed me to have tea in the morning and a pot noodle or oatmeal
• Se (3/5): Poor -
• Stephanie (7/5): Good -
• Ahmed (9/5): Great and safe place to stay in the heart of Leeds Citycentre - The location and the fact that’s it’s new. Security is nice with all the gates and doors. The cleanness The fact that there is no room service, but this is a student accommodation and not a proper hotel.
• Sammit (7/5): Good -
• Hazrat (10/5): Was good but No Dustbin in room and having no kitchen to make tea or coffee - I like the Location of the Property and The Cleanliness Of the Property I don't like Because There were no Kitchen to make tea or warm my own food There was no Dustbin in room No kettle in room
• Annabelle (3/5): Unwelcoming with poor communication to confirm booking. - I didn't have breakfast. The location is great. There was no waste bin, not even in the bathroom. There was no bath mat. The shower leaked. There was only bright overhead lighting - no bedside or desk lamp. There was no glass or paper cup in the bathroom. The toilet had not been cleaned, eew, probably because there was no toilet brush. The room was in a basement and felt like a cell - completely unwelcoming. I have stayed in University student accommodation before and it has always been welcoming and comfortable. This is not the cheapest Uni accommodation I have stayed in but is the poorest.
• Eliza (6/5): Pleasant - Central location, comfortable bed and bathroom Staff at reception were not that helpful, the room was not very clean
• Neal (8/5): Very good - Great location, basic clean and modern room, good setup.
• Rebecca (6/5): Good place for overnight stay in the city but is student accommodation and very basic. - Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Good sized room and very quite. No Kettle, tea etc, not even a bottle of water. No hand soap, no TV.
• Jack (2/5): Not good value for money - Location Value for money was poor. No toilet roll in room No kettle
• Kevin (7/5): Great location, not a hotel but suited us staying overnight to attend the cricket. - Good location and value for money. Accommodation high quality. I booked this thinking it was the Leonardo Hotel, this is not a hotel. However, it worked for us anyways. There are obviously teething problems with new accommodation and my toiled would only flush every 3 hours or so.
• Marcus (8/5): Quiet, very clean and efficient. - There was no breakfast available.
• J (1/5): Bad - Location only Room dirty bin not emptied bed not made bed smaller than advertised bathroom dirty 2 towels no toiletries as advertised nightmare check in system
• Vishnu (10/5): Exceptional - Central location Nil
• Yasmin (8/5): Comfortable - Nice and clean. Had my own room There was no tea or coffee or kettle. I understand this is typically student accommodation and that is not normally provided.
• Nicole (8/5): Very good - Good location, friendly staff, would stay again. Close to alot of bars and clubs so never very quiet but as its leeds that was expected.
• Daniel (5/5): Only good thing, location. They have to improve, I feel scammed - Just the location and the fact that is newly built inside, aside from that... Placing a movement sensor at the bathroom is just criminal. If you had just a toilet it would be okay, but for showering is just a pain in the ass the fact that every 10s u gotta get outside and activate it. Also, the couch was like sleeping over a rock, so uncomfortable. No WC brush, limited privacy, no Wi-Fi instructions inside the room (I think there was no wifi)... It's just disappointing for what I've paid.
• Samantha (8/5): Great but confusing - Clean, easy to find, central location Absurd number of steps, not clear how to connect to wifi, poor/confusing communication prior to checking in
• Naomi (2/5): Mediocre stay in a box of a room. No basiczqmmenties like toilet paper even. - Location Difficult to get into, unfriendly staff, no amenities- no toilet paper even..
• Lee (8/5): Lucky leeds!!! - I liked the cleanliness of the place and it had a great gym setup, the staff were very freindly and made me feel welcome 🙏 The only thing I didn't like was there was no tea or coffee making facilities in my room, but it was student accommodation after all,but I think a small kettle would be useful, but a nice place on the whole
• Julian (9/5): Superb - It was well located, clean and just what I needed for my trip. The light kept going off in the shower which plunged the bathroom into darkness until I waved my arm over the shower screen.
• Esteban (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kathryn (4/5): Fine but would recommend staying elsewhere for your money. - Good location, very central, easy to get to and from places without going out of the way, on check in staff escort you to your room. Not really a fan of how vast the location was, it wasn't made clear during booking that it was student accommodation rented out for the summer and it's quite confusing to get around the location itself. No hangers, bins, hairdryers, or kettles etc in the rooms, and you need to take care of your rubbish yourself. My heating also didn't work during my stay and on raising the issue with staff on the phone and in person at reception, they told me there was nothing they could do as it was a bank holiday weekend and the earliest they could get someone out would be after I checked out. There was no offer of another room or any further help.
• Kwok (7/5): Overall, it was a good stay, but most guests will likely pay a bit more and choose an affordable hotel next time. - The location was great, and the city centre was just a 5–10 minute walk away. The check-in and check-out processes were straightforward, and messages were replied to within minutes. We understand that this is student accommodation made available to outside guests during term breaks. However, to better accommodate guests for a comfortable short-term stay, the property should consider offering a bit more support and amenities, such as a cup and a kettle. In the room, the only amenities that you’ll find are a few towels and a very small bottle of shampoo and body wash—and that’s all.
• Sean (3/5): Disappointing - Bed was comfortable, good location Piss on the toilet seat and stale food on the floor beside the bed. Staff were quite dismissive and unhelpful. Knocking on the door before my check-out time
• Faisal (8/5): Very good -
• Lee (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Leeds - Convenient location and cleanliness was exceptional
• Mark (1/5): Disappointed - Location Falsely advertised
• Thomas (8/5): High quality student accommodation - Good location, modern and high quality environment. Brand new facility Small room in ‘cluster’ style apartment in student accommodation.
• Jon (9/5): Well located and comfortable, good value for the price -
• Mckenzie (5/5): Only if you have to. - Clean in most rooms (1 of the 4 has pants in a draw) Decent communal area. Booking system and process is so disjointed / Poorly run. 360 who manage this contract have poorly trained staff and processes. No bins or hangers in the rooms. Mattress is the very cheapest blue striped thin one so not very comfy.
• Clare (1/5): Awful! - Location Student accommodation! No hairdryer, kettle, tea/coffee, cups, glasses etc
• Jacqui (8/5): Very good -
• Louise (10/5): Lovelybplace to stay - Could have done with a bin
• Gil (10/5): Exceptional -
