Great usual standard, very clean, good location, parking easy and not as extortionate as most city centres. Ask for your parking discount from the hotel. More

I wrote a review of this place last July. This is an update of what's happened since then. What is noticeable now about the HIE and the geographical area in which it operates is that the competitive nature of the industry in Bradford has changed in terms of this class of hotel, with the building of new Jurys Inn and...

Dear Avid tripadvisor reviewer Thank you for your extensive review on the hotel.

The first time I stayed here it was just as described, clean, friendly staff, well managed, decent breakfast for what you pay. However, the second visit was not so positive; we had no hot water in the evening when we were getting ready & in the morning I found that I had an allergy to the bed linen. Upon reporting... More

The free internet and breakfasts were good features which, as well as the downtown location, led us to choose this hotel. The rooms are a bit... More

Stayed one night in March 2012. The hotel is located in the Bradford Leisure Exchange complex, which comprises various restaurants as well as a cinema and bowling alley located about 10 minutes walk from the city centre. This is a basic and relatively cheap hotel, but the state of the old smoking rooms on the second floor is unacceptable. As... More
