Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The hotel is just ok, regular Ibis Budget. Super close to city centre, safe area, clean rooms and great staff. Even though I had to suffer two nights the noise coming from the adjacent rooms and corridor, the receptionist was very considered and offered me an extra night for free as compensation. All of the reception staff were very nice and welcoming.

    Great location, it was as nice as the photographs. Paid parking was cheap and less than a minute's walk away. We could have stayed longer, comfortable accommodation.

    Beautiful building with lots of info about history. Free safe off road parking and great location. Easy check in and warm welcome. Our room was on 2nd floor spacious and comfortable. Tasty breakfast. There was a lovely looking lounge/bar but we didn't use as already had plans to go out. Check out till 11.00 so not in rush.

    Lovely rooms, everything was so clean and tidy I was actually surprised as I’ve been staying in 2 star hotels prior to my stay here and it was MUCH better in this hostel! Kitchen & bathrooms are well presented, clean and tidy. The general vibe of the inside is so cozy and the artworks are amazing. Staff are nice and welcoming. Key cards and pin pads everywhere which made me feel safe as a solo traveller. Everything was great!

    Fairly cheap and the location was alright. Probably fine for people that are used to hostels, wasn’t necessarily for me.

    Excellent location and cheaper than other Leeds Central establishments. Only discovered on arrival that it is a school for clergy, but this explains the austerity of furniture and decor, and certainly made for an interesting and different overnight stay! No frills but pristinely clean. Good breakfast at communal tables. Feels like a convent mixed with a Youth hostel.
