Best Hotels near Cottingley, Leeds

The room I stayed with my friends is lovely and the staff are extremely helpful and have gone above and beyond. We could ask for any more and this will be the place we will stay in on future trips to Leeds. Thank you to staff for making the experience the best!

Got a Groupon deal at only £79 for a double en-suite with breakfast and a bottle of Prosecco. The reception staff were very helpful and even got a free upgrade with a nicer room including soft drinks and 2 Kit Kats with great views overlooking the canal and late check out too. We parked nearby at Leeds dock about 10 minutes walk away as we have done before at a reduced rate of £8 for 24 hours. Nice modern hotel in a great location with free quick wifi and close to Leeds city centre with a couple of bars on the doorstep.

We had an overnight stay during our visit to Yorkshire and Peak District area. The reason that we chose this hotel is because it had 3 people rooms and it was part of the Accor All program. While being a budget hotel and providing rooms for three people to share, the rooms are very small and quite uncomfortable. If you want a budget short-stay, it is an option but I'm sure you can find more comfortable stays at a premier inn. Location wise, it was at ok distance to city centre however parking was hard to find and overnight parking expensive. HINT: Use the NCP parking nearby and the hotel can provide a validation that will give you a discount of 11£ (still I paid 9£). Here are some details: Welcome: The staff were helpful and attentive. However, there was no recognition of Accor All program status. They didn't provide any welcome drinks and no room upgrades could be offered since it is a standard room hotel. Rooms: The beds are comfortable but everything apart from that is uncomfortable. For three people rooms, the hotel has bunk beds which is hard to climb. There is nowhere to move in the room. The toilet is just a small cabin where you have no place to move and there is no bathroom, just a shower in the middle of the room. The sinks are in the room. Anything more than 1 night would be impossible for us. Hotel: It is an aged building and it is obvious at every corner. The elevators are smelly. The reception area is not inviting. Location: The hotel is central and a short walk to Leeds city centre. However, there is no free parking around. Park at NCP car park and the hotel will provide an 11£ discount voucher. Breakfast: They provide a basic breakfast with some cold food and sausage/bacon options. No eggs. The coffee wasn't great. It was affordable (6£ per person) but it is nothing notable. Staff: Very friendly and helpful. They helped us to find some extra pillows at night when we found out that only 1 was provided even though there was a special request for extra pillows in our reservation. Overall, I would not want to stay here again even though it provides all the necessities. This is mainly because the rooms were very small and claustrophobic and the hotel was quite aged. Apart from that, if you are looking for a good-value stay near Leeds, it could be an option.

Don’t not stay here. Avoid. So first of all the owner was very intense and makes you feel uncomfortable. He slept in reception on a sofa which we thought was strange. Went to the toilet in the night and got told to go to bed while he was laid on the sofa. When we first arrived he was bossy and rude and made up go on a tour of the whole building which he bossed us round. The whole place is dirty and needs done up, the toilets stink of urine and the toilet seat came of every time it was used. The room we were given for 6 of us was tiny, the beds were awful. It did not have enough plugs at all. The carpet was stained and dirty. You would have to pay me to stay here again, avoid at all costs and pay more to stay elsewhere. It had bars on the window like jail.

We booked a twin accessible room using IHG points. When we checked in we were told it is not available - its been allocated to someone else. It was a very fraught check in - husband wanted to punch someone & I was on the verge of tears. Why do they think we booked an accessible room - for fun???? I NEED an accessible room because I am disabled. We were also 2.5 hours from home. To give him his due Jay on reception asked us to wait while he checked things out. He offered us a drink from the bar but as hubby thought we might have to drive home he refused. We also had plans with son to go out to eat that evening. Eventually Jay said he had a double accessible room which we gratefully accepted. The window in the room, was in full sun, did not even open a crack which on a day where temps had reached 34 degrees was not ideal. We rang reception and they said they would get us a fan, which then had an electrical fault and only worked if you wiggled the wire - not ideal and pretty dangerous in my opinion. The ‘included breakfast” was a joke as we were told there was nothing hot but a continental breakfast. As a T1 diabetic who counts carbs croissants, muffins, cereal is not ideal so it was just banana for me. As the hotel was full it was also very busy and no tables available - took my banana and bailed out. Car park was close by & a reasonable price. There were a couple of restaurants close by. Aircon in the bar was lovely and the complimentary glass of wine was very good. It was quiet during the night and the accessible bathroom was great. I still can’t believe that they allow you to book an accessible room then give it to other customers.

We arrived on Saturday 1st of October around 2pm having driven up from Birmingham. We checked in ( having booked a superior room) which apparently entitled us to a free coffee, a bottle of water and a free biscuit during our stay. Upon arrival we asked if we could eat in the restaurant as we were hungry. We were told it was shut, then it was open, then it was shut, nobody seemed to actually know. We wandered in and were seated and told by someone ( who I think must have been their first day) that MAYBE we could eat. It was getting a little ridiculous by now. YES, indeed we could eat. Great. He came back to take our order having not given us a menu. Eventually someone else who seemed a little more clued up gave us scruffy photocopies of about the five dishes we could choose from, when i mentioned the menu I had seen in reception seemed a little more varied he replied in a pleasant but not even vaguely apologetic manner ” oh yes we haven't got a proper chef in so we have a very limited menu”. Hmm, right, so we ordered a pizza and some fries to share with a couple of soft drinks. In fairness we didn't have to wait too long and it was tasty enough and filled a hole. We then negotiated a long queue in reception to get the lift up to our room. EXCEPT WE COULDN'T. Because the door TO the lift would not open with the key card we had. Neither would it open for the receptionist with HER key.. she then got us another which got us through the door to the lift, lift safely deposited us on our floor, we got to our room, only to find our key wouldn't open our door. Our door to our ”superior” room. Great. Except it wasn't because now my other half had to go down back to the reception and explain this, a task not made any easier by what seemed, on first glance, to be half of Spain populating the reception area. Never mind, no matter, so now he has to run up seven flights of stairs to get back to our room because he couldn't get into the lift. Ok, right, so NOW we are into our room, which did not turn out to be in any way superior and exactly what you would expect in any budget hotel and not even as spacious. It had all the basics, just soap and shower gel in dispensers ( not very superior) it was clean and the bed was comfortable. The tv was a night mare to negotiate and one of the lights did not work. No matter, we only changed and slept in the room. All in all the visit was pretty much comedy and, while we didn't pay a fortune for it things that work ( like room keys) and people who knew what was open or shut ( like restaurants and menu details) MAY have been nice. I knew we should have done Premier Inn for less because the Jury's DEFFO in on this, and we found it guilty on several counts. Shame.

I was really looking forward to staying here, A grand old style station hotel that no doubt would be a bit faded which is why its only a 3 star hotel . I was wrong! Its a grand old style station hotel. The public rooms are all amazing Victoriana style & elegant. I was pleased that my tall room was comfortable & the facilities were just fine. I was worried that the free parking (with good security) might be full but there were easily enough places Breakfast was good on both days particularly if you like a cooked breakfast Good central location for easy access into & out of town & for the city centre (Media Museum currently closed for a big upgrade). Note that if you are driving you may find that if your sat nav is not up to date you may have a couple of false instructions & I think that an 18 month long set of roadworks is about to start in the centre of the city. Not an obvious large number of nearby restaurant choices but I thoroughly recommend the Bistro Polish Food just a couple of minutes away- not a big menu choice but fresh authentic food prepared well and at a good price

Stayed here 8 times this year & have booked for another 2 nights this month. Stayed on most floors & different room types. Some of the rooms are looking tired & our last 2 different stays in May the air conditioning wasn’t working in some of the rooms. Hopefully they have sorted it when we arrive in 2 weeks. Hampton Inn Leeds is one of our favourite hotels in Leeds. Great location less than 5 minute walk to Victoria Gate shopping centre, large secure parking spaces great choice of breakfast items, friendly staff.

Having stayed at this place sooo many times when travelling for work (must be 50+ times over the years!) I thought time for a review! In addition to this being OUTSTANDING VALUE and handily placed on the M62, I can't recommend the place and the staff enough. I've stayed at all the Days Inns in the UK and this is amongst my favourites. I was (and usually am) checked in by Suri who's helpful & cheerful but the whole team's great. Whilst the Days Inns (and Ramadas) in the UK are fairly basic though, my main reason for staying at them is for the Wyndham Rewards programme .... the points mount up quickly and often fund our family holidays abroad to stay in far more luxurious settings! The rewards programme is generous if you often stay away / on the road

Ibis is the one of my favour hotel. Location is good, 10 to 15 mins walk from train station. Shopping mall and many restaurants around hotel which easy to have food and shopping. Lovely and trendy design of the room, love it so much. However there’s no toothbrush and sleepier due to budget hotel. Breakfast is normal, not much choice but still good enough. And, a complimentary corner at the reception with coffee and some cupcakes, so sweet!! Will consider to stay again!!
