Stayed in hotel on buisness and thought of trying a smaller chain of hotel. It looks as though it has recently been refurbished but what was amazing was the food. The restaurant lay out does not have that much atmosphere to it but the food was outstanding - presentation, service, amazing taste and variety - lets hope they can keep... more

We love this hotel, have stayed before and everything about it is great. The staff are friendly, helpful and always smiling. Rooms are great, cleanliness is of the highest standard. We love the location, which is two minutes walk to shops etc. Have already booked to stay again, more

Stayed on a saturday night; room pleasant enough but at the front of the hotel and the noise from the clubs outside and taxis picking up clubbers was relentless ALL night and i mean all night. It didnt quiten down until 6.30am!! Screaming, shouting and constant taxi horns outside clubs and worthless double glazing all contributed to a sleepless night.... more

Stayed here for one night for my hen party. We were advised we couldnt check in until 2pm however arrived early at 1pm and got checked straight in without any hassle. We thought the hotel would not be up to much as per last few reviews and were pleasantly suprised. Facilites in room were brilliant Wifi and dvd player sky,... more

Wanted a decent hotel to celebrate the new year in Leeds. Needed one close to the gay bars, and found the Golden Lion. 1 minute walk to the gay bars, fab. The hotel staff were really friendly and the rooms were very clean and luxurious for the star rating of this hotel. The over all experience of the night was... more

This hotel charges 3 star prices but delivers 1 star quality. The entrance looks fine but once you move to your room you begin to sense decay - dirty corridors, poor decoration and an odour that can be described as "unpleasant." I was stuck in a back room which was at best pokey with a shoe-horned bathing area (not too... more

A second trip to the Golden Lion for its central location, easy parking. We'd booked as a group. Receptionist mixed up the rooms and gave singles out when we'd asked for doubles and vice versa. A definite disapproving look as we explained we were gay! Rooms vary considerably - friends had space and opulence, we were at the end of... more

But the staff are very friendly and very helpful when asked where to go for a good night,they know what there talking about. plus breakfast... more

Nightmare of a place!!!!! Secure on-site parking NOT! It is 5-6 minute walk and there is no way to pull up infront of the hotel to pick bags up without going round the awful one-way system in Leeds. Rooms were small and poorly decorated. Wireless internet access...only if you sit in the window downstairs! Staff response to complaints...defensive. I would... more

Stayed in this hotel for a weekend break. Arrival was a little stressful, there is no place to stop outside the hotel and although the hotel webpage says there is parking it actually means the Q car park around the corner and on the other side of the road (in a one way system). The result of that was parking... more
