The hype
Travelers love the location and the staff, but the disparity between renovated and unrenovated rooms is the main talking point.

Zakaj je to priljubljeno
- Unbeatable location right next to Leeds Station's South Entrance
- Granary Wharf's canal-side bars and dining are literally at the doorstep
- A 14-meter heated indoor pool—a rarity for a city center hotel
Hitri pregled: A functional, well-located workhorse that's currently split between 'freshly renovated' and 'stuck in 2005'—choose your room wisely.
Pregledano od @enf.eats: I stayed here for their launch event and it was such a fun weekend. The vibe was electric with live performers, but my favorite part was honestly the breakfast buffet the next morning—so many options and a dedicated gluten-free section which is rare!

Reality check

- You're arriving by train and hate dragging luggage
- You prioritize a morning swim over a trendy lobby

Čistost in vzdrževanje

- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some guests report missed dust in older rooms.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly clean, but watch out for grout issues in unrenovated bathrooms and occasional drain odors.
- Maintenance: The divide is clear: renovated rooms are pristine; older rooms show scuffs, peeling paint, and worn carpets.
- Linens & towels: Standard Hilton quality—clean and crisp, though towels can be on the smaller side.
- Odors & scents: Lobby and some lower-floor areas struggle with a persistent drain/sewage smell.

Don't walk out the main station exit! Look for the 'South Entrance' (near Platform 16) which drops you practically at the hotel's back door on Little Neville Street.
- ✨
The 'City 3' restaurant is fine, but you are 2 minutes from Granary Wharf—eat there instead.
- ✨
If the on-site parking is full or too tight, the station's long-stay car park is a viable (though pricier) backup.
5 stvari, ki jih morate vedeti, preden greste
💡The 'drain smell' in the lobby is a recurring guest complaint that management struggles to permanently fix.
💡The elevators can be slow during peak morning checkout times.
💡Standard rooms often lack fridges, which is a surprise for a 4-star brand.
💡The pool area can get crowded with families on weekends; go early morning for laps.
💡You can hear the trains if you open the window, but the glazing is actually quite good.
