We have just had a lovely stay at this Double Tree by Hilton in Leeds. It's in an excellent location. Outside are boats and the river a wonderful setting for the summer. We will definitely return for warmer brighter sunny days and nights. I would recommend a visit to the sky lounge, we had a couple of cocktails it was very nice. Friendly service. The hotel is marvellously clean. Comfortable beds. Room a little warm but we had a small window which did open so that was OK. The Breakfast is by far the best I've seen for choices there would be something for everyone. It was excellent. Overall, we very happy with every aspect of our stay, would recommend to others and would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is conveniently located near the train station, with a Co‑op supermarket just a short walk away. The property feels quite new, and the facilities are all in great condition. The room itself was spacious and comfortable. Although the housekeeping wasn’t particularly thorough, it was acceptable overall. I would still highly recommend this hotel if you’re planning to spend time exploring Leeds.

The hotel breakfast was delicious and had a good variety. The front desk service was excellent; we arrived early and they thoughtfully arranged an early check-in for us. The hotel's location is super convenient, very close to both the bus station and the train station. The only minor drawback was that the cleaning staff entered the room without knocking to ask if we needed anything.

It was an amazing stay, enjoyed it, though for a day. The room was spacious, bathroom was clean and well organized, the bed was comfortable, soft and very welcoming I didn't want to wake up for check out. Will definitely return. Had pasta in the restaurant and that was not good at all. Needs improvement.

The hotel is right next to the train station. The front desk staff was a Pakistani guy, and he was incredibly friendly. Seeing I was Chinese, he immediately upgraded my room, telling me, 'I must give you the best, everything is new, everything is fresh.' When I was filling out the form, I had only completed two lines and was about to ask him about the third, but he just said, 'It's fine,' and took the form away. As soon as I entered the room, for the first time ever, the lights came on without me having to insert a card. It was also the first time I've seen a welcome message with my name on the TV. This was also the first time I've encountered air conditioning in any accommodation in the UK (be it hotels, B&Bs, or dorms). It was the first hotel that made me feel like it was a complete package (everything was well-equipped, except for the usual lack of toothbrushes and toothpaste). And it was the first time I played a game with a remote control (though I fell asleep after just a couple of tries). By the time I settled in, it was already 9 PM. At this hour, finding a restaurant outside is tough, and walking around a strange city at night didn't feel very safe. But the hotel has its own restaurant. The prices were a bit steep, but the service and food were definitely worth it, especially the feeling of being able to have a hot meal after a long, tiring day. (The fries were genuinely freshly made, and they gave a whole jar of sauce!) It was a truly satisfying experience. The staff here are genuinely great. Whether it was the Pakistani guy at the front desk, the Black gentleman at the restaurant, or anyone else, they all made an effort to say a few words in Chinese. It really felt like what they say in 'Blossoms Shanghai' – even though you can communicate in English, when someone speaks your language, you truly feel their sincerity. For that meal, I fully expected to pay a service charge (and I would have gladly paid it at this restaurant; normally, I'd remove it if I didn't feel the service was earned). But the bill came with clear pricing, no hidden fees. I didn't have any cash on me, otherwise, I definitely would have left a tip.

Lovely overnight stay at Queens for a concert in the city. Location is ideal (attached to the train station). Excellent, friendly staff. Did online check in before arrival which made it quick and simple to collect key card from the reception. The room was spacious and clean with everything you’d need. Limited noise from outside even though the hotel is slap bang in the city centre. Would stay again.

Altough fully paid thriough Trip.com, the reception had difficulty in finding my booking. Don't be fooled by the swimming pool photo offered by the hotel, it is actually quite tiny. The hotel room is a bit small. We paid £61 a night including breakfast for 2. No complain. From the reception to the bedroom, there are many 3 steops along the way. Altough step lifts are provided, probably not worth to use them just to get a large luggage over the steps. The location is excellent, it is near The Springs retail park which is a new shopping and dinnig place.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would happily rate it 4.5 out of 5. From the moment I arrived, the staff were welcoming, professional, and always ready to help with any requests. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with all the essential amenities provided. The bed was especially comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep. I also appreciated the quiet atmosphere, which made it easy to relax. The location was very convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions, shops, and transport links. Breakfast was enjoyable with a good variety of options, although there is still a bit of room for improvement in terms of selection. The only minor downside was that some facilities felt slightly dated, but this didn’t significantly impact my overall experience. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to others. With a few small improvements, it could easily be a perfect 5-star experience.
