Holiday Inn Express Leeds City Centre Armouries - Leeds

Incredibly clean, comfortable and practical. Would have provided an overall rating of 5 if free wifi was available in rooms versus common areas.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The female staff were great and very helpful. It is an 'express' hotel but I found little difference between this hotel and 'full service' counterparts. I would recommend this hotel to visitors due to the service, position, newness and cleanliness. I had a good stay here.

Although a brief walk (about 15 minutes) or cab ride from the main rail station, this would be a pleasant hotel canalside across from The Royal Armories Museum for anyone seeking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the more congested business center of Leeds. The hotel is newly built and in an area that has more than a variety of good cafes and […] restaurants. The accommodations, service and buffet breakfast were all well above average. Add in their current reasonable room rates and this has to be one of the better hotel choices in Leeds. Read more

Basic hotel but good for the money. The business suite was not working but the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, willing to go the extra mile to ensure I had everything I needed.

I enjoyed my stay but the breakfast is very basic

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed at the hotel last night with three other couples for a charity ball. The location was ideal for our requirements. Our room, although clean was very run down - black marks in the ceiling etc. However the main problem was the shower which would not turn off. We hadn't noticed the problem on check-in as we went straight out after arrival but […] on our return to the room we noticed that the shower head had been placed over the waste on the shower tray and that it was constantly running water. This was extremely annoying as we could hear it all night. I reported this to the reception staff on check-out and received the following response "thank you for letting us know" . It was quite clear that somebody already knew about this with the positioning of the shower head. The rest of our party also complained about the lack of food at the breakfast buffet and received a similar uncaring response. It appears that the hotel is used a lot because of its location and quite frankly any problems are ignored or dismissed! Read more

Good value for money. Clean and efficient. Perfect for 1/2 night stay

Having got tickets to a show at the grand theatre in Leeds , we chose the armouries hotel due to the location and the price as it was only 1 of a few offering free breakfast as knowing we had 100 miles to travel back we needed breakfast !!. the hotel is very easy to get to and only approx 15 min to the centre and 20-25 min to the actual theatre ( slow […] pace may i add ) . On checking in the reception gave us a pass for the car park next door for 24hs unlimited coming and going which was £8 for the whole time , the staff were great really helpful and made us feel welcome . The room was as we expected clean and tidy and warm which was great as the weather was a tad cold and wet !! The breakfast was basic but had everything we wanted with cereal and pastries and eggs sausage and beans as the hot option , tea/ coffee juices ect too . would defiantly stay here again . enjoyable stay Read more

Did the job, the hotel is a 15 minute walk from the train station clean and in a good state of repair. Disappointed with the breakfast.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Everything here was great. Room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was just ok, but then again a free breakfast is better than no breakfast. Parking I think was 8.00 p/day, and right next door in a multi level park. Not much do do around the hotel (Unless you want to visit the Armoury next door), but its a 20 minute walk into town, so thats fine. […] All up - I will be looking for these hotels wherever I go - they are great value for money.

hotel right in the city centre but no free parking and only told about having to pay to park in an NCP car park next to the hotel when I arrived. Tv in room didn't work but room otherwise clean.

Hotel very clean, quiet, good service, basic no frills but adequate breakfast included, convenient car park next door with weekend deal, great indoor market close by, docks and armoury worth a visit, kingfisher seen along river

Was a pleasant stay and staff were very helpful. Car Parking was very expensive, even with the special offers from the hotel.

Only stayed for one night, but would happily stay longer or return to this hotel. Rooms were spacious and clean. Perfect location, close to city centre.

Nice clean hotel good location 15 min walk into town,buffet breakfast was great,early bird catchs the worm!!!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The overall hotel experience was very good - especially the buffet breakfast which is included in the price (there was a good selection of cold and hot food, as well as juices and coffee). The location of the hotel is superb, it was a relatively short 8 minute walk from Leeds Station and was fairly easy to find. The location is picturesque and, midweek, […] was quiet at night. The staff were nice but not remarkable; in fact there were no staff on hand at the breakfast and the checkout did not include any pleasantries. However, the room cleanliness was not of the highest standard (there was a piece of food just under the bed which a hoover would have caught if it had been around the room). Also, there were issues with the room door banging repetitively throughout the evening/ early night whenever someone else in the corridor opened their own door. For a one/two night stay, business trip or quick city break this hotel is great. However, I paid a reduced rate for a night in the hotel and am not sure I would pay the full going rate if the reduced rate was not available. Read more

We have used this hotel several times while visiting our student son. It is clean and the staff are efficient. It is great for an overnight stop. It is not far from the city centre and in a quiet location. Car parking is next door to the hotel. Yet a brisk 15 minutes walk will lead you into the cultural part of Leeds and the shopping centre. The Royal […] Armouries is just opposite which is a great day out for the family. Read more

Just returned from Leeds and one night at the Holiday Inn Express (City Centre, Armouries). Fantastic value for money: located only 15 minutes walk from Leeds centre, good size rooms, comfy beds, good parking (next door). Lovely location in the Docks area, surrounded by some lovely narrowboats and other vessels. Friendly staff. Would definitely use […] again. Read more

Really disappointed with the standard of food served at breakfast. Not much choice at all. Leeds one way system a nightmare, even updated Satnav gets you lost!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

very unhappy with our room . we also had a disabled room so shower facilities were not great. A party was held on the floor & even though the night manager was called it continued we had no sleep at all .

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room wasn't very clean, with mud on the sofa, the carpet felt sticky and looked dirty. It also smelt damp. The extractor fan in the bathroom wasn't working nor was there a switch on the air conditioning unit to adjust the speed of the fan or switch it off. The air condititoning was also very loud. I would not stay here again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The receptionist kept us waiting a while and was stood talking with another employee of the hotel. We were told on check in that the hotel was operating on a very limited menu in the restaurant because of a flood, which was a little disappointing as we then had to go in to leeds for dinner which cost a further £12 for taxi fares.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Spot on for visiting the Armouries and in an interesting position close to the canals, the buffet breakfast (inlcuded in the price) could be better, the scrambled egg was like rubber but the rest good enough to fill you. It was right next door to a large car park which was free for the week when we were there (the Jubilee) but I thing the hotel discounts […] it at the remainder of the time. All in all a good time was had. Read more

Me and my partner stayed for two nights and got a fantastic deal on booking! On arrival we were able to check in an hour early as the room was ready which was a plus. The room was very clean and well maintained. The corridors were immaculate and so was the rest of the hotel. The breakfast was lovely. There was a wide variety to eat from cereals to warm […] foods such as toast and sausage and egg. The local amenities were good with the Tesco Express round the corner and the hotel is situated just a 15 minute walk along the canal from Leeds City Centre. Excellent transport links nearby! The staff were very helpful and polite and are a hive of information for amenities in the local area. We will definitely be visiting this hotel again. Amazing! Read more

Well appointed hotel.Good value and clean.My only comment would be that the tea making facilities were poor and the decor in the room was a bit shabby.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The rooms very very clean and the hotel in a fairly good location about 20 minutes from town, with a tesco express and pizza express nearby which was handy. Unfortunately, the breakfast was very mediocre at best and items frequently ran out without being replenished. Also, it was a very hot weekend which made the rooms unconfortable as the air con did […] not seem to do anything but blow warm air! Read more

Great hotel for what we needed. Clean, quiet rooms and comfortable beds. It was a particularly hot weekend and the air conditioning was not very effective but that was the only problem with the room. The breakfast was good but not terribly well organised as almost everything ran out at about 10am (it is served until 10.30). Of course this is the busiest […] time and guests were getting fed up. They topped up the eggs, sausages and beans at just before half past by which time most people had given up and so lots went to waste left in the serving dishes. Read more

Annual works do next to the Royal Armories so the location of this hotel was great! I have stayed at this hotel more than once and as ever friendly staff and a clean comfy room.

Definitely a convenient but business oriented hotel. Rooms are not really designed for families and bathrooms are functional but Spartan (ie, shower only with lean water flow)

Located in a really nice part of town, the hotel was only a short walk from the city centre. Additionally the quality of the hotel's service and it's upkeep was better than I expected.

Great hotel and convenient location into town just a 5 min walk away, breakfast was good and nice to have some hot dishes on the menu. Perfect night away central location will be staying here again on my next trip to Leeds

Excellent hotel, ideallly situated for bus station, Armories, waterfront, casino & top class restaurants. Lovely area. Poor walkers may need a taxi to get to city centre (£5). Cannot complain ab out anything, had a wonderful stay.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Holiday Inn appear to have a scam going here, the car park next to the hotel has a Holiday Inn sign in front of it, and Holiday Inn flags along the front of it, but if you park there they will give you an £80 ticket. When I complained they said it wasn't their car park, if so why the sign and the flags, totally misleading!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Clean modern hotel. Room very nice with sofa , tea & coffee. Bathroom clean . Bedding & towels crisp & fresh . Free breakfast great Bar prices as you would expect from city hotel Free wifi only in bar - not bedroom Pleasent 10 mins walk along waterfront to shops. James Martin Leeds Kitchen 2 mins walk .

Genuine Expedia guest review

Booked on a special deal through Expedia at a very good rate, even cheaper than the travel lodge. Superior rooms to the travel lodge but less convenient location, although the car park next door is a bonus, and in reality its barely a 10 minute walk to the major office buildings or the city centre. Food is some what basic, but the shepherds pie I had […] was adequate and edible, two good Indian restaurants and a pizza express just round the corner. If you're staying all week ask at the carpark office about a weekly ticket. What ever you do do, book in advance, the room rate advertised in reception is £99, at that price I would have felt severely underwhelmed. Read more

I stayed in this hotel as I had an Xmas party next door in the Saville room so it was more convenient than messing about getting a taxi home. The location is great as it's right next door to the Royal Armories and not far from Leeds city centre and the M621. There is also a multi-story car park next door that you can get an overnight stay through the […] hotel for £8. The room however was not worth the money, there was a flickering light bulb (which was fixed), the room was very small and there were only 2 wafer thin pillows on the bed. Also the TV was an old fashioned CRT type not a flat screen and there weren't many channels. As we were only staying for 1 night I just got on with it, I had a rubbish night's sleep though. Breakfast was actually okay, there was tea/coffee, cereals, croissants, toast, pain au chocolat and then sausages & beans too. The breakfast area was quite small and if it was busy it could be a hassle, also there was only Earl Gret tea, not a problem for me but my girlfriend wasn't a fan. In summary, if you are needing a place to stay for 1 night to visit the Armouries or Leeds in general then it's okay. Any longer and you might want to look at spending a bit more and stay in the Malmaison etc. Read more
