The hotel facilities were well-kept and the cleanliness was top-notch. We appreciated the complimentary breakfast with a good selection. The staff, especially Phillip, provided outstanding service during our stay.

    Nothing to fault.

    Comfortable bed and convenient location for our activities.

    One night, we were disturbed by the noise from other guests in the shared dormitory area. However, the room itself was clean and cozy.

    Had a great Xmas stay at a hostel in the heart of West Yorkshire! The location was spot on, close to all the shops and restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfy with fresh linen and towels. Breakfast was amazing and available all day long. Really appreciated the free Wi-Fi and the helpful staff who were always willing to provide tips about exploring the area. Loved the warm and cozy atmosphere, it felt like home away from home.

    The hostel lacked adequate cooking equipment and shower hooks, which made it difficult to hang up clothes and towels. , the lockers were not working, which was concerning for the safety of my belongings.

    Great location and friendly receptionist. Short walk into the centre. Price is obviously very cheap. Some breakfast provided for free. Staff seem friendly. Really comfy bed, good food accessible at all times, and really friendly, helpful staff.

    Had to give a £40 deposit which we weren't told about in advance. Mattress uncomfortable with springs sticking in you.
