Although I haven't stayed here overnight and used the accommodation facilities, I attended a function here and had an excellent time. Around Christmas time they offer packages to suit your party needs and give extremely good value for money. The food was delicious and we were provided with a very generous amount of free wine.
However, in contrast to this is the high prices at the bar. I recall buying two drinks for just less than Â£10, which admittedly is to be expected from a hotel in a busy city centre, yet is still ridiculously expensive.
Enetertainment was provided and a good time was had by all; I would definitley recommend their spacious function room if you were planning a big party. Their staff would be more than happy to help aswell.Although I haven't stayed here overnight and used the accommodation facilities, I attended a function here and had an excellent time.

The Crowne Plaza Hotel, situated on Wellington Street in the centre of Leeds is the perfect comutable distance from the station, bus station and motorway. It is situated near to all local attractions and destinations, but far enough away to ensure a peaceful and relaxing stay.

My most recent experience of The Crowne Plaza was the South African International cricket teams staying on mass. Despite the sportsmen and their respective entourage all other guests were treated to the highest of standards. Despite the hotel being booked to capacity and beyond, this made no impact upon the professionalism of the hotel and its staff. At no point did it feel overcrowded and I was able to make the most of my stay.

On a previous occasion when an unfortunate error occured meaning that my room along with a potential bride to be was not situated near the rest of the wedding party, the hotel manager provided the use of the honeymoon suite together with use of the jacuzzi and all other facilities at no extra cost.

In order to ensure that there was enough space for the wedding party on the morning of the wedding we were provided with the use of execuitive suite again at no extra charge. The manager and all staff ensured that our needs were met and well beyond our expectations.

The hotel is of the finest standard both in terms of service and cleanliness, the restaurant and bar are of a similar high standard. The price is well worth it for the five star hotel experience.

You arrive to find helpful, friendly staff at the reception who make you feel most welcome. After a quick, hassle free check in, you are directed to your room.
A big queensize bed, looks so inviting and comfortable. The rooms are well furnished, spotlessly clean and tidy.
Back downstairs, the bar is very relaxed, the lighting dimmed to make it even more laid back. Staff are all on the ball, nothing is too much effort, nothing seems rushed. The hustle and bustle vanishes and you really are able to unwind.
The restaurant is of the highest quality. Great food, well prepared and served once again by staff with an eye to detail. The sommelier offers good advice, on an extensive wine list.
Breakfast is either a cooked choice or a healthy selection to choose from. The scrambled eggs with smoked salmon are an ideal way to start the day, before an effortless check out.
The only drawback with this hotel, is there is no onsite parking, however there is a secure multi-storey, just across the street.
Don't let the relaxed, informal impression be mistaken for lax staff, far from it. This is a great hotel to stay at. Not the cheapest, but it is worth every penny paid !You arrive to find helpful, friendly staff at the reception who make you feel most welcome.

Ibis Leeds is well situated for road users on the edge of the City, and about a 15 minute walk from both the centre of Leeds and train station.

I found the staff helpful, reception area clean and well appointed. Room was average size with simple furnishings, TV, tea&coffee, en-suite bathroom with shower, small writing desk and aircon.

The aircon however was switched off, and as others have mentioned this can make the room stuffy. The window opens slightly allowing some air in, but this does come with traffic noise too. Hopefully Ibis read this website and listen to the reviewers gripes and switch the system on!!

Breakfast was extra, but fine for the price. A typical Ibis experience, fine in most respectsIbis Leeds is well situated for road users on the edge of the City, and about a 15 minute walk from both the centre of Leeds and train station.

I like boutique hotels. It's almost a hobby now after years of Marriotts. The calls is middle of the road but boutique is a nice road to be on, the neighbors are nice and there is little trash. Good location for Leeds, a little tucked away and you will have difficulty finding if unless you really know the city, parking is also tough, but it's one of the nicer places in one of the UKs best cities.I like boutique hotels.
