Novotel Leeds Centre

Depending on exit, it could be a 5 to 10 minute walk from the station at a leisurely pace. Upon arriving check-in was simple easy and the staff were incredibly friendly. They were informative. Let me know if I wanted a breakfast option pricing and where the location of the breakfast would be to inform me of when certain exits would be open and what time until. The room. I can’t lie I was pleasantly surprised, it’s been awhile since I stayed in a Novotel room. Not a huge egg, but I always find it weird when the toilet is separate from the bathroom but that’s no biggie. The bed was generous in size with a firm mattress and a soft topper. It felt like a two season duvet and the pillows were a little too soft for me but doubling up solve that problem. The shower/bath had an overhead shower function as well as a traditional showerhead, which made the end of my showering journey so much more pleasant. Amenities include included huge TV, a decent desk and a comfy chair , a sofa that could could turn into a bed, but the one thing that I valued the most was a little mini fridge located underneath the tea and coffee area. In the hotel, is the soap factory bar, a very comfy sofa centric bar and cocktail lounge great to get a good drink and a bit of pub style food. Additionally, is a restaurant that will serve the morning breakfast  and a believe lunch as well. POI, through the bar towards the Whitehall Road exit is a couple of shops that are worth knowing, a Greggs, Tesco express and a Marks & Spencer’s food hall are all located across the road. To add, taking a lift out the exit and a two minute distance away is a Sainsbury’s local which has a handy cashpoint if needed. I generally checked out thinking this might be my hotel of choice when coming back to Leeds.

Great trip as usual, friendly staff, prime central location - will stay again!

Couldn't recommend this hotel enough. Fantastic position within 10 minute walk from train station. Our room was a good size, very clean, cosy and decorated beautifully. Staff were very helpful. The breakfast was excellent with a good selection.
