"Good hotel"
Stayed 2 nights whilst in Leeds for the England v India test match. Check in was quick and easy. Our room (106) was very spacious and comfortable, seemed to have been recently refurbished. Lots of sockets and USB ports for charging. The bathroom was well appointed, the bed, as always in a Premier Inn, was very comfortable. Had breakfast both mornings, as good as ever.
"Good stay, a few improvements needed"
Stayed 2 nights whilst attending the cricket at Headingley. Reception staff very impersonal at check in, improved as our stay progressed. Room was lovely, recently refurbished, Large, nice colour scheme, larger shower, tea & coffee plus excellent Air con. WIFI is poor, as is the bar service, poor choice of wine and service slow. Ladies at breakfast were lovely and very helpful. An issue I feel needs addressing is the location of the customer toilets, as a woman I found it unsafe to walk down to the basement for the toilet, an incident just waiting to happen in my opinion. Not sure I would stay again.
"Premium room upgrade"
Fantastic premium bedroom which had everything you would need, and a lovely shower room. It has a Nespresso coffee machine with chocolates, a fridge with water provided. Flat screen TV that you could attach an HDMI device. An iron and board was provided. Ample space with room for a suitcase to be left open. A small table with chairs. Overall a really good visit.
"Room was fine but common sense needed"
We arrived at the hotel at 14:30pm, we were told if we wanted to book in early, there was a charge of £15.00, I refuse to pay £15.00 to check in half an hour early when I've already spent £173.00 to book the room. The woman on reception was quite abrupt and dismissive. We decided to wait in the bar area. I was stood at the bar for over 10 minutes waiting to be served, it was only until another guest went to reception that somebody turned up and then asked if we were waiting. As 15:00pm approached I got up to check in just to be met with a queue of around 40+ people, the self check in machines mysteriously broke at 15:00pm too. I managed to get checked in at 16:15pm. For the sake of half an hour and to cause that bottleneck of people trying to check in, surely common sense should've been used, yes I could've paid £15.00 but I'd already paid £173.00 to stay there. I found the customer service horrendous. The lifts need looking at too, feared for my life going in them with the noises they were making.
"Leeds central Premier Inn"
Stayed here after attending a show at the first direct arena. Hotel was literally across the road. Room was large clean and very comfortable even in the exceptionally warm weather we were experiencing. The staff were all friendly and courteous. We had breakfast then next morning and although it was standard breakfast buffet selection it was hot and resupplied quickly once it started getting busy. Would stay here again.
