Generally very good, only down side was I'd have expected evening meals to be available in the restaurant, (breakfast room) Seating in the bar area does not really work for family meals with young children

This was our second time we'd stopped at this Novotel and yet again we had a great stay. Room was excellent, breakfast was very filling and it was made better by the complimentary drinks. We will definitely be stopping here again next time we're in Leeds.

Thank you to all the staff on reception and in the bar for making us welcome and providing a cheerful service. Our room was comfortable and well serviced. We enjoyed cocktails (two for £12) in the bar both nights and a supper on one of our two nights. Highly recommended.

GuroWesheba TripAdvisor review

The hotel location is great. It is a short walk to the city center and the train station. The room was clean, and housekeeping was available every day. It has a cozy bar and restaurant serving a good selection of food and drinks. We had the vegan burger, which was delicious. We were a little disappointed with the reception staff - it took them three days to resolve an issue with our inactive key card, until one friendly gentleman from the maintenance team decided to change the faulty door lock. One receptionist was even unnecessarily impolite to listen to our inconvenience. All in all, a good hotel for value, but could be great with more helpful staff.

Dear GuroWesheba, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your room, our location and the food However, I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you faced regarding your key card and the reception staff's service. We aim to provide helpful and courteous assistance to all our guests, and it is disheartening to learn that we fell short in this instance. Your feedback is valuable, and we will ensure it is addressed We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back in the future for an even better stay Warm regards, Joanne Joyce Guest Services Manager

Stopped Wednesday 17th December. Have stayed before but not for a while. The room was a superior one on the top (6th) floor. Room was comfortable. Bed, very comfortable. Had planned to eat out but decided to give the Soapbox restaurant a try on account of the weather. I'm on a gluten free diet now so eating anywhere can often be complicated (and limited) I had a Lamb main (GF) which I found super tasty. My wife's non GF dish was very good too. The staff in the Soapbox were very helpful and accommodating. Had Breakfast the next day and found a range of items that I could eat including sausages (not always the case in hotels). Again staff there were very helpful. Only negatives from our stay was that the room felt cold. (we fiddled with the aircon but it didn't make much difference) Only other gripe was that we tried to play some movies from a hardrive by connecting it to a USB plug near to the TV. The TV wouldn't connect up to it. Chromecast would be a good option...That said, we enjoyed the stay

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Novotel Leeds Centre. We are pleased to hear that you found your room comfortable and enjoyed your dining experience at the Soapbox restaurant, particularly with regard to your gluten-free diet. It is wonderful to know that our staff were accommodating and helpful during your stay. We appreciate your feedback regarding the temperature of your room and the challenges you faced with the TV connectivity. We understand how important it is for our guests to enjoy a warm and comfortable environment and to have access to entertainment options. We value your suggestions and will consider them for future improvements. We hope to welcome you back soon for another enjoyable stay. Warm regards, Joanne Joyce Guest Services Manager
