DoubleTree by Hilton Leeds City Centre

All in all nice experience as far as Hilton hotels go, Room is spacious, bathroom is adequate, could do with an update, decor is reasonable. Staff on reception are nice and friendly, everywhere is clean. Only couple of downsides that would really be easy to fix is, you'd expect a reasonably upmarket hotel to have a smart TV when budget chains have them everywhere. And you'd also think you'd get 2 bottles of water not 1 if you have 2 guests again which most budget hotels manage without thinking.

Sadly whilst I have given this hotel four stars both my wife and I were disappointed with the Sky Bar and the Lock Bar. On arrival check in was swift and the reception staff courteous. However, we were informed that we only had half an hour in the Sky Bar as it was booked in its entirety for a private party. At no time a tall were we informed about this prior to arrival. This was particularly disappointing as we had planned to meet friends in there. The wine on offer in both bars needs reviewed as it wasn’t to the standard and quality expected despite paying a hugely inflated price per glass. Also the glasses were very poor quality and I would suggest they be replaced. As a suggestion look at IKEA style wine glasses. On our second night we met our friends in the Lock Bar only to find multiple screens showing football with a very noisy table of males who’s volume and indeed language was inconsiderate. None of the staff were willing to control this so we left. On the plus side. The rooms are spacious and the bed superbly comfortable however hanging and drawer space was limited which might benefit from review. Overall a comfortable stay albeit I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

Amazing location for the train station, it sits just behind it and is within a 5 minute walk of it. By the canal, rooms nice and clean, staff very friendly. Full English as well as a Continental breakfast available. Reasonably priced too. They offer a drop off service for your bag if you arrive before they are ready to check you in. Will definitely be back in Leeds and at this hotel in the future.

I had a really lovely stay at this hotel. The room was a standard queen, not too big, but very comfortable. There was some train noise, but it wasn't a major issue and didn't disturb my sleep. The receptionist was wonderful and very welcoming, and the warm cookie at check-in was a great touch! I only had breakfast at the restaurant, but it was a good standard, all-you-can-eat buffet, with the quality you would expect from a Hilton. A real highlight was the Sky Bar. It's a really cool spot that offers some great cocktails, and the outside area has brilliant views of the Leeds skyline. The location is really handy for a one-night stopover. It's right by the train station, making it super convenient. It's also a short walk to the city centre and a manageable 40-minute walk from Elland Road.

A wonderful welcome from Rheena and nothing is too much trouble for her to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. I often stay here on business, its a brilliant hotel that has all bases covered from excellent house keeping to wonderful food. Keep doing gods work
