Guest Reviews

Naomi (10/5): -
Gardiner (10/5): -
John (10/5): One of the best hotel stays I've had - The friendly and helpful welcome from the staff was outstanding - checked in by Charley, helped by Lauren and the duty manager Helga, and that continued through my stay. My room was unusually spacious for a budget hotel and the city centre location is perfect -ignore the extremely under-stated main entrance. The bacon, sausage and scrambled egg could have had more flavour but the cooked fruit and cereals were excellent.
Paula (7/5): Great - Close by and clean Small car park and not included
Gardiner (10/5): -
Juliet (10/5): -
Fiona (6/5): Good enough for the price for a one-night stay. - Room roomy enough and had fridge. Beds comfortable. Close to the centre of town & plenty of places to find an evening meal. Breakfast adequate. Shower wasn't completely clean, and water drained slowly, so the tray filled with water quite quickly. The room was on the east side of the buildig and heated up very quickly after the sun rose, even though it was cool (about 9oC) outside.
Michael (9/5): - The breakfast room had a nice relaxed feel to it.The actual breakfast was well presented and the attentive staff made sure that it remained so! The quality of the breakfast items was also of a very good standard.
Freap (8/5): Cheap and chearful. - Breakfast was basic but fine. The price of a pint at the bar is slightly higher compared to the pubs around the hotel, but that is to be expected. The shower appeared to be blocked, but it was only the hair catcher in the plug. Just removed the plug.
Jo Baillie (8/5): Friday stay for Rugby League Trip - Clean large room comfy beds, were very soft but didnt affect sleep quality. Large shower with good selection of toiletries. Close to lift for access Plentiful well cooked breakfast and take away options is a good idea too Friendly and efficient staff No problems when asking for extra pillows and helpful staff throughout the stay. Parts of room tired, paint peeling off bathroom door, some minor stains on carpet, not able to open window at all, rooms and corridors in need of upgrading but this didnt not affect our stay. Everything clean and tidy.
Parsons (9/5): Ticked most of the boxes. - The room was fine, the breakfast was excellent. The extra cost of the hotel car park.
Tracey (5/5): -
sarah (10/5): -
Dan (7/5): Decent hotel at a good price, don't expect the world but you don't have to pay for it either! - Admittedly not on the nicest street, but very centrally located, and well priced. I chose to stay here (having lived in Wakefield previously and knowing the area) as it was significantly cheaper than similar hotels in central Leeds. Room was a good size, well furnished and clean (even if a little shabby, it had clearly been cleaned well) Overall friendly and helpful staff, they certainly make you feel welcome. Carpets in the room were stained, and the glasses/crockery/cutlery were dirty, both in the rooms and at breakfast - should have been clear enough to staff that it needed to go back in the dishwasher not out for use! Enough to put me off going again! Breakfast was varied quality, with staff clearly not able to keep up with bringing fresh food out and cleaning tables. Rooms are noisy, can feel/hear every banging and conversation in the corridors.

McAteer (8/5): Lovely staff and clean and comfortable stay - Quiet rooms, clean and comfortable and close to the railway station so only a 5-10 min walk I had an evening meal and the staff were great with my dietary needs. The Thai green curry was delicious. Breakfast was simple but tasty, lovely scrambled eggs and I appreciated being able to get some gluten free cereal Entrance area could be improved, it sits on what felt like a strange side road. Perhaps a little more info on the small menu and some extra options but the food I had was lovely. Interestingly the address isn’t recognised by some food delivery apps so I either had the food in the bar or had to go back out into Wakefield for some food
chris (7/5): Big rooms but needs updating. - All staff were friendly and helpful. Room large and easy access. Breakfast had a good selection available. Breakfast room clean and staff attentive without being overbearing. Situation of hotel very near to city centre and amenities. Although the room was large, it needed a lot of updating. Internal doors chipped and in poor condition. Room was for a disabled person, pull wire beside bed annoying. Wet room poor, after a shower the whole of the floor was wet as drainage poor, so unable to use bathroom without shoes on throughout the day. Bathroom sink didn’t run away.

Jill (8/5): Excellent value for money- clean, comfortable, friendly- great location. - Excellent breakfast. Great location for visiting the Yorkshire Sculpture park or Hepworth Gallery and breaking a journey north. Very helpful staff. Double room as booked- not twin!
Thomas (8/5): -
Alexander (7/5): - The location was good rooms were spacious and clean Paint flaking in the shower, the shower worked but leaked at the shower head connector so wasn't powerful
misheck (9/5): - The breakfast was fantastic Limited car parking
Sadie (9/5): -
K (8/5): - Būtų geriau jai automobilio stovėjimas būtų nemokamas, arba bent būtų galima tiesiog susimokėti registratūroje. Nes dabar reik internete registruotis į atskirą bendrą parkavimosi programėlę.
Emma (9/5): Great value city centre hotel with great staff - The hotel was very central with convenient parking. Staff were exceptional- helpful and friendly.
ROY (6/5): Price reasonable, with the exception of parking £8 a day . Could use off road parking after 6pm -8am - Breakfast ample of choice, Latte/cappuccino machine a bit too bitter for us. We were in room 408 , noise coming from the entrance of the building opposite exchange House at 6 am Sunday morning with 2 drunk residents. Also Friday and Saturday night noisy due to the night clubs/ bars. Also don’t like the top opening window design does not let any air flow into the room.
wendy (10/5): Very welcoming and friendly staff great cleanliness - Exceptional helpful staff on arrival and again in rhe morning Nothing
Denise (9/5): - Convenient to town centre and train station . Room good . Breakfast nice . Couldn't find anything wrong . Good little stop over hotel .

David (8/5): Great location and very good value for money. - Good location, friendly staff and clean room. The parking was not good, limited spaces.
Reynolds (6/5): - Nice
Pavel (4/5): Radši bez vyjádření naprostá katastrofa z profesionality personálu. - Zpozdil jsem se o pár minut na snídani a už jsem neměl nárok ani na chleba natož na kafe hlavně že personál narvané talíře ze snídaně, že sami by to nesnědli. Myslim že těch pár minut co jsem se zpozdil by nebyl problém. Ještě že je v okolí spousta podniku kde tu snídani me udělali. I když jsem měl v ceně pokoje snídani. To radši tu snídani nenabízejte k ceně pokoje aby zbylo pro personál.

Gabrielle (2/5): Not good - The service from the lady in the morning was great No parking available. Booked a double room, they put us in a twin room, lady on the night who served me was quite abrupt in telling me it’s just a preference when I told her I wasn’t happy with this. Very misleading on the website as it was saying even after I looked to double check I had booked the right room, “1 double room left available” surly with modern day technology you can check how many double rooms are left to how many are booked on the website. I stay in hotels every other weekend and I’ve never had this trouble with any other hotels. Think if you’re going to put preference in small print, you need to make it more clear when booking as even when checking my booking receipt it didn’t mention “preference” Would say the lady on the mornings attitude compared to the lady who dealt with me late on arrival, was complete opposites the lady on the morning shift needs praise for how friendly & approachable she is
Jeremy (8/5): Great stay, comfortable beds and good value for money - A great stay, clean, quiet and comfortable. Amazing value for money. Good location too.
Tracey (9/5): Good. What we needed. - Location
Tracey (9/5): - Location
Tracey (9/5): It was good to have such a large room - Location
Rowena (10/5): - Excellent in all ways and facilities and also a small fridge in my room which is great with the hot weather at the moment 👍 Nothing
Wendy (4/5): Lovely staff but room was dirty. - The staff were really helpful and friendly and the parking was great. Our room did not feel clean, there were stains on the carpet, smears on the tv and window. The tv remote was filthy and the bathroom had marks in the floor and mould on the bath mat.

Angela (9/5): -
Loraine (8/5): It was ok, but may look for another hotel in future - Easy access and clean When I first arrived my husband went to check in and the member of staff on duty (Josh) was arrogant and rude
Lorraine (9/5): Great little hotel, great staff, well located. - Comfortable beds, very clean bedroom and bathroom. Lovely, helpful reception staff both on arrival and at breakfast. Great location. Good traditional English breakfast. Not applicable
Diane (9/5): Staff fantastic and went out there way - Near to town and facilities Nothing
Jacqueline (9/5): - Nice, clean, quiet, comfortable, nice breakfast Would of liked fried eggs & black pudding. Plus no croissants left for later sittings
Gunasekar Krishnamoorthy (9/5): - Friendly and helpful staff both at reception and food court. Good location. One of the reception staff was too helpful in guiding the nearby locations. Good breakfast indeed. Suggestion - Add mushrooms to the breakfast to bring veg choice.
Marcia (9/5): - Clean, comfortable, friendly staff, good location, good breakfast A king size bed would have been nice. Room a bit warm and hard to regulate

Sam (8/5): Great value for money - Central The views were awful
Lynn (8/5): -
Sarah (7/5): For the price this was good value but I wouldn’t come back because of the car park - The staff were amazing, especially Helga whose customer service was impeccable! The inclusive breakfast was nice too! The lack of car parking. We were lucky to get a space but only because we patiently waited. I am disabled and although I could have walked to the nearby multi story I wasn’t happy about the fact that I’d then have no access to my car overnight and would have to walk backwards and forwards if I needed anything from it.
Alan (8/5): Excellent. - Breakfast was very good. Location ideal. No improvements necessary.
BEXCHESHIRE (7/5): some improvement needed - Staff were friendly and helpful . Breakfast was very nice and plenty of choice , we were able to check in straight away and we managed to get a parking spot which was limited . Plenty of tea/coffee choice Paying for parking when you are staying at the accommodation is frustrating , the bed was too soft and uncomfortable , every time my partner moved we would roll together . The room was tatty in places and needed some updating

S P Navaratnam (10/5): Very pleasant and courteous staff - Convenient location to attend our event
Gill (10/5): - staff very helpful
Deborah (7/5): Great central location, friendly staff, good breakfast but beds need replacing. - Good location and breakfast Bed was uncomfortable as we were sinking into the middle and needed replacing and overheard other guests saying same thing. Shower room needed attention, cracked shower tray and seal around bottom of screen full of calc and dirty. No parking spaces were ever available during our 3 day stay.
