5/5
This lovely hotel is quite big but still has the lovely, personable feel of a smaller hotel. The location is amazing. Close enough to the town centre for bars, restaurants, theatres etc. but far enough to get a good night's sleep. Just round the corner from the train station so perfect location. The staff are amazing and couldn't be more friendly. I stayed as a lady by herself and felt very safe and comfortable. Highly recommend

I booked one night here at first as I wasn’t sure what it would be like or what I’d be doing. In the end I stayed 3 nights. …

Ideal location for visiting Leeds City Centre. Reception was clean and modern, lift small but working and clean. The hotel is a little bit like a maze, but that's just the old design of the building.  …

The discovery inn is in an excellent location, close to the train station and city centre shops. We stayed for 1 night whilst attending a concert at the First Direct Arena 15 minutes walk away. …

The staff was incredible. Very helpful and attentive. The room was clean and comfortable. The price point was exactly what I needed for this trip, and the location was perfect as I had to utilize the train station, which was right across the street

Has everything you need for a short stay. Comfortable and clean. In the city centre it is so easy to get to everything. Quiet through the night. Didn't try breakfast. Late night reception so no problem when getting in late and sorting the key card when it stopped working

stay for one night, solo travel in a double room, requested a quiet room which was very nice.The room is tidy and has enough space, only things were the bathroom, bit old and not enough hot water, the heater seems not working either, the hair dryer is not working very well, but luckily the front desk staff helped me find one! (is a male with glasses!) thank you for your help which absolutely saved me.

Basic, but perfectly clean and quiet. We were in room 819, and after finding our room through the twisting hallways we were greeted with a double and single bed, desk with chair, kettle etc. Room was clean and quiet. …

Pro: The hotel is super convenient to the train station. Also everyone working at the hotel was friendly and nice. Con: our room smelled so bad like the person before us was sick in the bathroom and was only barely cleaned before we arrived.
