6/10 Good

The staff are lovely and the property is clean. In terms of luxury, it felt more style than substance. The room was on the smaller size and although the bed was very comfortable, it was small for the price. The room did look a little tired and requires some attention to justify the price. Little things like the TV randomly shutting down and taking a long time to turn back on are not taken into consideration. The desk and furniture looked worn and scratched in places - an easy fix. Ultimately, a nice hotel that doesnt justify it's price point. I personally prefer The Malmaison when staying in Leeds.
