Great value Saturday night stay

Had a great Saturday night stay to attend a concert at Leeds arena . The hostel is just further down the road from the Hampton and quite easy to find when walking. Just cross over the road with the closed carpet shop on the corner and follow the road up. Was great value for money at £65. Very friendly staff who checked us in. Room was just like the photos and very clean and nice white towels and bedding. We only had some orange juice at breakfast as had a train to catch but there were plenty of cereals etc to help yourself. Would definitely stay again in the future.

Bed bugs!!!!!!

Room 7 had a huge bed bug infestation. They were literally crawling everywhere on the floor and beds. They moved my room eventually and said they will give me a full refund, but I would stay well away from this place until the management can absolutely guarantee that this issue has been thorough dealt with!!!

Lovely quirky, comfortable stay

Was a bit unsure of what to expect as a 50yo but this place was fantastic & I didn’t feel out of place whatsoever. The staff are super friendly & helpful. Our room was really comfy (designed with neurodiversity in mind). I think my bed was actually a hospital type bed but it was sooo comfy & I could change mattress settings etc. The room was also voice activated too which was quirky. You can use the communal kitchen too to make yourself drinks and prepare food etc. They provide tea and coffee and odd bits to help yourself to but bring your own milk. I really would recommend this hostel. I also liked the fact that monies from guests goes back in to the project. Hostel is situated close to centre and near Victorian quarter so easy to walk in to central Leeds and First Direct arena to.

One nighter for a gig

One night stay for a gig in Leeds, the lady on reception was the most welcoming of any staff I’ve ever come across in properties I’ve stayed at . The place was nice and quiet and well presented. It done exactly what was required, the only negative I would say was that the room was very cold and the heater only stopped on for a short period of time but that also could have been myself not knowing how to work it correctly. Otherwise it was a great price and a great location for wandering to the arena with plenty pubs/bars along the route. I would happily stay again.

Sovesal er bedre end sit rygte

Sovesal var nyt for mig, men det fungerede fint, bl.a fordi sengene nærmest var alkover, så jeg ikke oplevede det som en sovesal . Det eneste jeg manglede var et aflåst skab

Needs a mirror in the bedroom part near an electric socket for the hairdryer. The floor lamp is too big for the room, caused access issues to one side of the bed.

Well equipped gem

Well equipped including tin openers. Beds comfortable and didn't creak, although single pillow is very thin. Power at bed side worked. Slightly more floor space for luggage would have been easier. Free bag storage. Very friendly staff. Clean everywhere including corners. Guests friendly, quiet and respectful. Would stay again.

Was a nice friendly hostel. Slightly aged facilities but in good working order. Hot water and shower pressure was good. Individual plug points and light for each bed. Better sound proofing between rooms and walkway would be nice. But overall a good hostel.
