I've stayed at this hotel a couple of times over the past few years, and it has always been very good. Front-desk staff are helpful, friendly and are always smiley. Rooms are reasonable size, very clean, and have all the basics. Bathrooms are better than most 'budget' travellers' hotels - big showers with good water pressure. Free parking always fills up quickly, but there is on-street parking nearby.

The hotel is located next to a large fire station, on a busy road next to the ringroad junction, and currently there is a big building site next door (as with most of Leeds city centre), so it isn't the quietest of hotels, but it certainly is good at what it does.

Breakfast in the morning is the usual complimentary stuff - croissants, cereal, toast, yoghurt, coffee, juice etc.

Overall, a good place to stay. I'd happily pay an extra tenner over other 'budget' hotels. If you'd rather save a bit more, there is a Travel Inn opposite and an Ibis next door.

I've been in loads of Holiday Inns and this is one of the better ones. It's comfortable, clean and has friendly staff. It's also inexpensive and handy for the town centre.

I've stayed in Holiday Inns that haven't been as nice as this, it does exactly what it says on the tin - It's a Holiday Inn Express.

Stayed for one night (Sunday). Hotel comfortable, clean, well appointed and very quiet (not many people staying there).

No food available in the evening but the staff were happy to arrange for food delivery from a wide choice of takeaways. There are some restaurants within walking distance but you could get very wet if it was raining!!

All members of staff we encountered were friendly, courteous and extremely helpful - above average service!

This hotel is good value for money and the rooms are clean and of the typical standard of this kind of hotel. It is very, very busy over the weekends with big groups of young people coming to Leeds either to party, hen nights, stag nights, etc. This means that you can not expect to get an early night here, people are coming and going at all times and there is some noise from other rooms. If you are going to be partying too then it won't be a problem!! Breakfast is frenetic so if you want to find somewhere to sit and relax a bit get up early. The staff deal with this all very professionally and the hotel is well run in order to deal with the clientele it is serving.
