Guest Reviews

• Lavinia (10/5): Gem vintage house - We liked the vintage look of the rooms and loved the interior architecture of the entire house, it's a gem. The location was pretty good. It also has its own parking. The staff was very polite and helpful.
• Paul (8/5): Have stayed before & will stay again, negatives above a minor thing given the low cost etc. - Location excellent for the cricket at Headingley. Breakfast excellent & very filling. Room was good. Shower was not very powerful at all. Only charging points I could find was a four gang at the bottom of one of the beds.
• MONICA (1/5): Never again thank you - The lady at reception was friendly. Sheets on bed itself appeared fresh clean The lack of cleanliness. Unfortunately I didn’t see this until late at night… Bathroom clearly not been cleaned or hoovered. Dirty marks. And worst of all hairs including pubic all over the floor. I then looked closely in bedroom. Carpet didn’t look best. And then I looked under the bed and wardrobe and not only bits of rubbish but never seen anything so thick of dirt. Curtains also mouldy and windows even though open had condensation so not sure if havea damp problem as I also noticed four air fresheners in room Was so late by time I noticed this , and given that the bed itself seemed clean, I stayed. I’d read other reviews and picked up it was dated which is fine to me, but first and other people’s private hairs not for me. Have since complained via booking.com but apparently the hotel couldn’t care less. So that was their opportunity to redeem themselves before I got the email to review. Lesson learnt , check all this as soon as arrive
• Dane (1/5): This is the worst hotel I have stayed in in my life. Dirty, dark, stank, very poor condition - There was nothing to like about this hotel. It is disgusting. The hotel is dirty and decrepit. The room was disgusting. It was dirty and smelled strongly of cigarette smoke despite being a non smoking room and having 4 (!) deodorisers to disguise the smell - they did not. There were numerous cigarette butts on the window ledge outside the window. Disgusting! The decor in the room was filthy. The bathroom was in very poor condition, cracked and damaged floor tiles which were dangerous. The kettle was broken and had a used teabag packet inside. The carpets were threadbare and badly stained. The bedroom furniture was very old, stained and damaged. The bed was extremely hard and very uncomfortable. The lighting at night in the stairway and corridors was inadequate and poor - I could not see to put my key in the door - I had to feel for the lock in the darkness.
• John (4/5): -
• Aleksandra (8/5): Lovely and efficient for a short stay - Cozy English vibes
• michael (1/5): It was awfull. - It was dreadfull. The filth. Mots. Toaster blew the fuses.
• Darren (1/5): - Nothing at all. This is the roughest, dirtiest, run down hotel ive ever stayed in and i would advise people to avoid it at all costs. Dark, stinky, carpets that have never been cleaned in years, wallpaper hanging off walls and ceilings, bath panels hanging off, tvs not working, scum in kettle, lighting non existant, tiny windows, poor ventilation, oh and a poo left in the toiliet to show how well they clean! This hotel hasnt been decorated since the dawm of time. There also appears to be people living in there on benefits etc. Noise from other rooms and from old pipework horrendous,i didnt feel safe in my room or any of the corridoors, car didnt feel safe in car park full of holes and dips....it feels like staying in a squat.
• Caroline (7/5): -
• Joe (8/5): - Really friendly and helpful staff and a great location. Cold shower in the morning, perhaps just because I was the first one up.
• Carl (7/5): Leeds marathon - Nothing Needs new carpet full of dust and dirt shower doesn’t get hot enough needs updating we had a roof leak in the bathroom
• denise (5/5): Mixed review - The staff team was great and very helpful. The location was great a short walk to restaurants and pubs. The bed was comfortable with white, clean bedding. The hotel is extremely run down and requires maintenance.This has been highlighted on other reviews, however I was surprised at how to run down it was.
• Sue (9/5): Value for money. - Good location. Nice breakfast and staff were lovely. The mattress was super comfy. The hotel is basic but certainly serves its purpose for somewhere to stay on a night out.
• Gareth (7/5): Fine. - Main room was clean, double bed was very confrtable. The location is great, easy to get places. Bathroom was 80's old and far to hot, had to keep the door shut to keep the heat in.
• Jacky (8/5): - The breakfast is great Bathroom needed some updating
• Bolton (6/5): -
• Paul (9/5): -
• Tom (9/5): Enjoyable and comfortable - Staff and location N/a
• David (5/5): I didn’t expect much for the price and my low expectations were fully met. Very handy location. - Bathroom light stopped working whilst in the shower so was in total darkness as the light above the bathroom mirror didn’t work at all. The room was grubby, carpet appeared to not have been hoovered for months. Dirty bathroom with many broken and loose floor tiles. TV remote didn’t work, the batteries in it appeared to have been whacked out of shape with a hammer then forced back in. One night was sufficient!
• Francis Daw (2/5): Disappointing - Location Very poor quality facility, bathroom/toilet grubby, problems with bedroom door, disappointed overall.
• Linnie (9/5): -
• Dave (4/5): -
• alexislouise1998 (10/5): - Great for price
• Dave (7/5): - Ok
• Carys (2/5): Very poor. Would not recommend or return - Staff member was very helpful Very dated rooms. Not very clean. Although bedding, shower curtain and towels appeared ok. Bad smells throughout the hotel. Strong smell of weed in public areas. Very noisy floorboards and noisy all night with people moving about above us and on stairways and we didn’t sleep at all
• David (8/5): - Budget hotel in a good area
• michael (8/5): -
• Paul (1/5): Stay away. - Absolutely awful place, it hasn’t seen a coat of paint since the last century. Everything. No running water, a mini fridge turned off with a rotten pint of milk a month out of date. No light bulbs.
• michael (8/5): Stayed here twice and it’s my go to accommodation for Leeds ,yes it’s dated but take that away and for the price it’s a - It’s in a great location next to Headingley ,10 minute walk from Burley Station then 5 minute ride into Leeds ,some great pubs and shops nearby ,everything I needed ,kettle ,iron ,storage space and nice bathroom.Breakfast for the price was great . The mattress is thin and firm and the pillows just as bad ,that’s for me anyway but the room was clean .
• Anneke (10/5): Great stay at a great price. - The manager was very friendly and welcoming. The room was very spacious and pleasant and was very clean. The bathroom is dated but was also very clean. We appreciated the free parking. We had to check out very early but this was not a problem. We would happily stay here again.
• Edward (1/5): -
• Michael (7/5): One night in Headingley - Great location. Great staff Bathroom could do with an upgrade.
• Alice (3/5): Sorry but I only slept two hours - The tv The shouting outside early hours. It needed a new side table and old fashioned wardrobe which could be got 2nd hand. I would recommend mould spray and an industrial carpet cleaner.
• Jo-anne (7/5): - Location was good. Free parking is very handy too. Breakfast was nice. Staff were really nice. Quite noisy at front of hotel. Light curtains made sleeping in difficult.
• sam (7/5): tidy but a little tired - The hotel staff were very welcoming, friendly and informative, the room was neat and tidy and the shower was lovely and red hot and the location was excellent. The hotel has seen better days, it could have done with a lick of paint and some new carpets and personally the bed was a little on the firm side, oh and the car park needs re tarmacking!
• Noel (10/5): -
• Americo (6/5): Overpriced but comfortable - Breakfast was good and promptly prepared. The lady member of staff we dealt with was professional, welcoming and with a good attitude. The building looked in some state of disrepair. Cleanliness was present only where essential. The cold water tap in the bathroom wasn't working, causing some discomfort.
• Steve (5/5): - Good customer service: I requested a room change and this was done effectively and with no quibbles. One of the bathroom taps was leaking, though I was made aware of this at the time of the room change.
• Divya (3/5): -
• George R (5/5): -
• Phil (8/5): -
• It’s a magical place (1/5): - Nothing. Everything.
• Adrian (5/5): Interesting and different - The experience mirror a old fashioned ship kind of taste... Room was kind of cold for my taste as the heating goes blank between 22.30 and 6.30....7am. Except those aspects I couldn't complain. When outside is cold inside the room the heating should be on all night long. Economy to heating during the night is risky for the client.
• Paul (9/5): Good value! - Warm welcome, good parking for motorbike at rear, good price. Nothing.
• MICHELLE (9/5): - Comfortable and friendly, the location is perfect. Traffic noise but not much they can do about that.
• Sarah (8/5): -
• Anaïs Tallulah (8/5): -
• Eileen (8/5): A Great Find - Great location Friendly staff Breakfast available Great price
• ChrisC (8/5): Value for money 💰 - The staff were great and the breakfast was fantastic. The house and rooms were nice and warm. Great value for money 💰 It's a big old house that could do with some updating.
• michael (8/5): I read the reviews so I knew the Hotel is dated and in need of renovation but I was only there for 1 night so it didn’t - Easy check in and nice area to stay Rock hard bed
• Alwyn (3/5): Extremely disappointing. - Nothing Our stay at The Butler Hotel was unfortunately very disappointing. The room was far too small for the number of beds crammed into it, making it feel cramped and uncomfortable. The bathroom was in shocking condition — with broken tiles, deteriorated fittings, and overall poor maintenance. The beds offered no support whatsoever and sagged badly in the middle, making it difficult to get a decent night’s sleep. The old brown carpet was worn out and clearly in need of a deep clean. Access to and from the room was also problematic, as the steps became increasingly steep and difficult to manage the higher you went. Overall, this property is well past its prime and in desperate need of either a complete refurbishment or demolition. I would not recommend staying here until major improvements are made.
• Neil (7/5): Very handy for headingly..alas we had to check out early due to a problem back home - Didn't stay for breakfast
• PAUL (1/5): -
• Christopher (10/5): Fantastic - Lovely staff, checked us in early when we turned up early unannounced N/a
• Ethan (3/5): -
• Adam (6/5): -
• robert (3/5): Avoid this dump - Location was good,large free car park behind Got there and even though i'd paid in advance they had no record of my reservation,found me a room eventually but i don't think it was the one i paid for.balcony had sign on door warning not to be used,toilet didn't flush properly without lifting the lid,matress was shot every time you moved it felt like a water bed and you were gonna fall out.Room was like an oven huge radiator far too big for room,after searching to turn it down found the valve through a kicked in hole in the back of the wardrobe,an absolute dump
• Tandragee Tommy (9/5): -
• Geoffrey (9/5): -
• Louise (1/5): Mould, cold and noisy. - The lady at reception was very nice and tried to help There was mould everywhere. Even the carpet had mould in. After being in the room half an hour I felt an asthma attack coming on, which I have not had for about 6 years. The water in the shower was freezing. The room was freezing cold. I actually contacted booking.com as I felt the venue was a health concern. I am absolutely not someone who complains normally. I turn a blind eye to many things especially if the property is competitively priced. But this was absolutely not hygienic. I tried to find somewhere else but there were no rooms available anywhere I looked that I could afford. They moved me into a different room that had less mould and was warmer. But I was up all night worrying, and you could hear everything in the hotel as the walls were so thin. I left early hours of the morning as I couldn't stay in there any more :(
• Ian (8/5): -
• Linda (9/5): - Great location for us. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. The decor was very sad and needed some TLC
• Puneet (9/5): -
• Andrew (8/5): Comfy bed fridge and hot shower - Value for money Need refurbing
• Michelle (9/5): -
• Sean (10/5): - Friendly staff on check in everything as described and very homely comfy room
• Laura (7/5): Günstig und dafür in Ordnung - Günstiger Preis und daher trotz einiger Mängel auf jeden Fall eine Gesamtbewertung von "gut". Die Frau an der Rezeption beim einchecken war auch sehr freundlich und hat mir geholfen das Gepäck die Treppe hochzutragen (einen Aufzug gibt es nicht). Das Hotel könnte durchaus etwas renoviert werden. Außerdem war ich 6 Nächte dort und doch etwas enttäuscht, dass kein einziges Mal ein Reinigungsteam da war - auch nicht als ich extra ein Schild rausgehängt habe und den ganzen Tag fort war (und also auch Handtücher etc in der Zeit gar nicht ausgetauscht wurden und der Mülleimer auch nicht geleert wurde).
• Katarzyna Grzy (5/5): - The very friendly lady from the staff showed me how to open the main door when I was leaving the hotel for a very early check-out. Quite a good location, easy access by bus from the city centre, and about 15 minutes by car to the airport. A small and cramped room, quite old furniture, a hard mattress like a straw mattress 🙈 The room was terribly stuffy, I had to air it out thoroughly. The bathrooms need renovation, and the whole place needs freshening up. It was okay for one night, but I don't know if I'll ever stay there again.
• Joel (1/5): -
• nicola (10/5): - Perfect for my needs, hotel a little tired but dwoukdnt stop my booking again. Breakfast was superb and staff were super friendly and helpful.
• paola (8/5): -
• Eileen (6/5): Cheap and cheerful. - Excellent location staff very friendly nothing too much trouble. Cheap and cheerful ideal for overnight stay and the breakfast was exceptional all local fresh delicious produce well worth the price.
• Lynch (8/5): -
• Ian (8/5): Staff were fabulous, I didn’t like the cracked tiles in the bathroom - Breakfast was great Shower was broken, the bracket
• Kelvin (6/5): - Ok
• Luke (8/5): - Lovely staff and really cute little guest house still in original style. Some iconic stadiums nearby and easy to get to from the airport.
• Ciara (10/5): -
• Ciara (10/5): - Staff are so accommodating
• Maria (6/5): - Convenient and in a good location. Good place to stay for a night, had a shower and a small bathtub, desk etc. Friendly staff too so no issues there. The room was a bit old which was fine but there were a lot of spiderwebs in the corners. Apart from the spiderwebs it felt clean, just quite worn. I wouldn't want to stay for more than a night.
• przemek (9/5): - Super lokalizacja, śniadanie świetne- na zamówienie - dokładnie co chcesz. Stylowy hotel, bardzo przyjemna obsługa.
• Natalie (6/5): Good for a budget stay but somewhat uncomfortable due to the hotels lack of any recent refurbishment. - Hotel has good character and was central enough to be convenient for our stay. The staff were great and accommodating in giving us an extra key so we could return late. There was a hole in the bathrooms roof, the room wasn’t that clean and the bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable. Very thin walls so heard all other guests all night.
• Nuria (7/5): -
• Margaret (7/5): Perfect location for cricket. Cheap and cheerful - Clean, friendly staff In need of refurbishment.
• Dan (7/5): -
• Wendy (3/5): Lovely staff but awful hotel. - Location was good for what I needed. Clean sheets This hotel is very old. Things on the room are either broken or dirty carpets. The room was noisy and all I could smell everywhere was weed. The shower was so impractical that washing my hair was not possible as the stream was so weak you could hardly wet your body let alone fully wet and soap your hair. I rarely give any negative reviews. However having travelled extensively and stayed in some low budget hotels I have to say this was not a good place to stay. Especially for £50 per night.
• Richard (1/5): Never again. Disgustingly filthy! Next time I'll book into the Premier Inn on Otley Rd. - The breakfast was okay and the Eastern European receptionist lady (who doubled as the breakfast server) was polite, efficient and friendly . FILTHY! The room was truly disgusting. Probably the filthiest hotel room I've ever stayed in. The taps in the bathroom were all loose. There was mould growing on the bathroom ceiling. The toilet seat was soaked with urine and disintegrating. The walls of the bathroom and bedroom were stained with spillages that look like they have never been wiped up. Under the bed there was at least a centimetre of dust and a half-used Vaseline jar on its side!! Eww! The bedside lights were disfunctional and dangerous with bare wires that nearly poked in my eyes. :-(
• Jacky (9/5): - Staff wee very friendly and the breakfast is lovely No mat in bath when showering
• Alan (9/5): Good Value - Location, parking, price 2nd stay good night's sleep don't expect too much for the money you've paid stay in the premier Inn for twice the price if you're fussy. Could do with a revamp however this is reflected in the excellent value for money.
• stuart (6/5): Very enjoyable. - The hotel was in an ideal location for Headingley cricket ground.Just a 10minute walk for us and we are pensioners so not even 10 minutes for the younger generation.You have got to look past the decor and concentrate on the things that really matter,The bedding and towels were spotless and the room was clean but as i said,very dated.Nice comfy beds. The full English breakfast was lovely and you could have cereals as well for just 7 pound. The one thing that stood out for us was the staff.They were lovely people and couldn't do enough for you.
• John (3/5): Staff was friendly and good location.Breakfast was very good - The best thing was the location.close to the cricket ground. Did not like the room to small on the 3rd floor with narrow stairs.room was dirty and dusty.
• Daniel (9/5): Star room - Quirky rooms
• Charlotte (8/5): I’d stay there again. - excellent value for money and very convenient location. very friendly welcome. The bathroom grout needs a deep clean!
• Daniel (8/5): Leeds overnighter - 3rd stay so they're obviously getting something right. If you come here expecting a budget hotel then you will not be disappointed. This place gets a lot of things right? And one of those is a really good breakfast and another is a genuinely friendly, warm welcome from staff Radiator in the ensuite of room 231 is stuck on and red hot in the middle of summer
• Penny (6/5): absolutely fine for the cost - room was fine. Location good. Breakfast okay but pretty average. Breakfast was not worth the charge.
• Richard (8/5): Perfect location, great value. It's not 5 star, but it's a comfortable stay at a great price. - Perfect location to stay when going to watch the cricket at Headingley. Free parking, comfortable beds, all the basics were there - TV, shower, hot drinks, etc. Just what we needed. Missed the turning for the hotel first time around and had to loop back round Headingley in heavy traffic, as we were looking for an actual road to turn down rather than the side passage of the property. Just a note for future guests - this was the fault of the satnav than the hotel - so just approach slowly and keep your eyes peeled!
• Michael (6/5): - Great location. Comfy bed Requested 2 x single beds months in advance and this request wasn't met.
• Cheeseman (10/5): Staff bent over backwards to help - nice people -
• Geo (3/5): - Location and humble staff Toilets and info on shared toilet which weren't as expected even its service with the toilets
• Yves (2/5): -
• Mohamed Annis (5/5): Nice location and friendly people but very old rooms - need to be renewed - Location is very nice and handy Friendliness of staff Very very old furniture Squeaking floors Broken tiles Smell of old wood in room
