I used it just so I could stay for the night. It did its job. The guy there was dead friendly and showed me around. they seem to be no hot water when I washed my hands did not ask our complaint as I was only there for the night and out all day. Good location.

Highly recommend to young and experienced travelers. We got in and they showed us to our comfortable room. The bathroom and the kitchen were upstairs. It worked for me as I was able to sleep ten hours through the night. It was great to meet friendly travelers and enjoy breakfast and snacks with them. With all the cereal and bread I imagine many nomads have caught up on lost meals.

Really great little hostel, wonderful customer service and super comfy room. The room itself was completely tidy but the shared bathrooms were not - one toilet had water all over the floor and often drops of pee around the outside, the other toilet couldn’t flush so it was just full of toilet paper and pee. Other than the bathroom situation, it’s lovely!

The room itself was next to the back entrance so unfortunately you had people coming in and out at unsociable hours. I had to lock my door as i did not feel safe with presumed guests hanging outside my window late at night. Cleanliness was not great as my pillow had a long hair on it from the person we stayed before and there were several stains on the duvet/sheets/mattress. The place was a little tired although can appreciate it was a reasonable rate for a Saturday night near the city centre. Bathrooms were not in the best condition although I did have a warm shower so that was to be commended. Overall, I think it was reasonable value for money but I would not stay again.

Our host was really welcoming and allowed us to check in an hour early, which was great. The location is excellent. However, our room (two single beds) was, to be honest, abysmal, even for the price. The carpets were full of ominous brown stains, there was no lamp or place for storage, hairs and stains on a thin and old bedding, and bugs. There was a bizarre noise of running water which sounded like a leak that could be heard constantly. The bathroom had no paper to dry hands, which was frustrating. I've never felt more excited for my own bed.

The shower machines make lot of noise and little bit scary. They need to be changed. Otherwise everything is fine.

A couple of simple changes could have made a big difference Just plonking a flat sheet onto a mattress doesn't work and waking up on the bare mattress thinking how many others have done so too is a bit gross. The rooms with showers are freezing and there's nowhere to put your clothes which you have to take in with you as they're a long walk from some rooms. The constant access to breakfast and toast is good and the welcome is friendly. I appreciate it's at the budget end and didn't expect luxury, just not to feel like I'm reliving bad decisions from the early 200s

Good city centre location 10mins walk to the main streets. Comfortable bed and heater available if needed. A simple self serve breakfast was included. Unfortunately, the female room I was in was located quite far from the bathrooms and you had to walk past the reception desk and up two flights of stairs. Not ideal in the middle of the night and may make some feel uncomfortable walking past staff on reception. Also, the gentleman on reception was very loud in the morning right outside the room which wasn’t very considerate. The hostel does the job for a one night stay if you want to be in the city on a budget.

Receptionist told us that we can put our food in the fridge and we don’t have to worry because noone will take it, so I happily left my coke drink there. The next morning it was gone.

Leeds City Centre for this price - exceptional. Yes, it's not the Ritz, but if certainly met my expectations in terms of warm welcome, good atmosphere, etc. Yes, some work to be done (lockers don't work), but for somewhere safe and clean to rest my head for a night - couldn't fault it. Fellow guests were friendly, mainly medical students who were polite and courteous. I also loved the 24 hour availability of tea/coffee/toast and cereal, allowing me to work late with sustenance. Definitely will stay again.

Worst inn. I was 90 minutes late because I had trouble with my bag running out at the airport, but I was locked out in the rain. It was the worst experience of my life.
