ibis budget Leeds Centre Crown Point Road 2 stars

From the moment I walked in to this hotel I felt uneasy. The smell of smoke, people sat in the reception area gurning, the fire alarm going off constantly, rooms aren’t overly clean…..grim. I’d seriously consider an alternative even if it’s a bit further from the city centre. I stayed for all of two hours then asked for a refund and went to another hotel. Staying for work I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my stuff in my room if I went out. People constantly going in and out of each others rooms, not sure if rooms are being used as some sort of housing solution or hostel situation.

As it says, 'budget', but that's no bad thing, decent enough, no frills, but entirely adequate. Location a little out of the absolute centre, but only a few minutes walk, and all the usual Deliveroo's etc deliver there, and there's a decent watering hole just over the road (the Palace) as well as the Lamb & Flag if you want a bite as well as a drink

Staff very helpful and friendly. Rooms compact, but clean and comfortable.

Late booking accommodation for a conference in town - found this was the cheapest option, thought Ibis is usually basic but clean etc. This one is basic, perhaps below basic (think really basic hostel), but ground-in stains on the walls, bedding, curtains, etc. The shower and toilet are separate to each other and open directly into the room. They were ok, if a bit prison like. The shower absolutely stank one morning and I had to run the shower and put some soap down to get rid of it. At night time, the lobby/restaurant area was dominated by people with substance abuse issues and perhaps homeless - not meant to be a slight on them, but a bit disconcerting when coming back to the hotel of an evening (particularly for lone females). The lift works off a key card. Breakfast - defrosted bread (white or brown), some doughnuts, and other mini pastries, with large packet ham and slices of cheese. Some cereals, etc. Tea coffee. Basic. If you like huffing down doughnuts for breakfast, enjoy. I'd head into town and find somewhere, if I was unfortunate enough to stay again. Reception staff were friendly and helpful (and they seemed like absolute troopers dealing with everything).

This is possibly the very worst place I have ever stayed, You are greeted by unfriendly staff really not interested in doing their jobs. No food available except for crisps. The room is cold dirty with zero appeal. Please don’t waste your time or money
