What guests think

At ibis Styles Leeds City Centre Arena, travellers consistently highlight the central location near the First Direct Arena, clean modern rooms, friendly staff, and good value, while noting small bathrooms, occasional maintenance issues, and mixed breakfast experiences.

Discounted parking next door and free lobby hot drinks are appreciated, though the bar and coffee machines sometimes fall short. Room comfort is generally strong, but a number of guests report hot or noisy air conditioning, twin beds pushed together, or very compact layouts. Check-in is usually smooth and welcoming, yet queues and inconsistent service appear at busy times. A practical, city-centre stay best suited to events and short breaks.

Well positioned hotel- in the city centre but not noisy at all. Big comfy bed and the air conditioning was great. It was very clean and the bathroom pristine. Tea and coffee in the room- but no fridge. Didn’t try brekfast but good value to have it included for 2 for the price. Also coffee machine in lobby to use when you liked. The young woman who checked me in was really helpful and friendly. Parking£10 a day- not bad compared to other £20/30 charges elsewhere. Only thing is I had 2 small towels and no larger ones for a 3 day stay.

Excellent friendly & helpful staff in a well equipped budget hotel in a great location for Leeds centre and event venues. Had an initial problem with TV in the room not working, a member of staff arrived within minutes to try to fix it however when he couldn't we were moved to another room, which happened to be larger. Breakfast on site is excellent value with extensive continental and cooked options, and discounted parking available for £10/24hrs next door is an added bonus! Will definitely be back

We have stayed here a number of times before with no issues, however, we were disappointed this time. The room was not as clean as usual, there was a chicken nugget left on the floor and spilt tomato ketchup stains that had not been cleaned up properly! Bathroom did not feel as clean as standard of past visits. Check in queue longest we have ever had to stand in at any hotel, to be fair we did arrive as check in opened for the day but there was only one person on the desk at peak check in time on a Saturday, who was trying her best. We joined a queue that went outside the hotel and down the stairs. Staff in the adjoining restaurant which serves breakfast very pleasant and accommodating. Food options serves are pretty standard.

It was ok. In terms of location, you could not be better placed for the arena. However the bathroom was so small and tight spaced it verged on uncomfortable and my pillowcase was dirty. When reported, they did seem embarrassed and I have been given 1000 Accor points as a gesture of goodwill, but I would rather have had the clean linen!

The hotel is basic and it honestly wasn’t even with what we paid for. There were several holes in the bedding and the toilet roll holder was broken. The fire alarm went off at 2:40 in the morning which is no one’s fault however there was absolutely no guidance or explanation from the staff to ensure safety of the residents. We were stood in the wrong spot for fire assembly for 20 minutes and it was only another resident who said we were in the wrong spot. No reassurance from staff or any sort of control of the crowd of people stood outside at 3am who kept wondering to the wrong places because again, there was no appropriate intervention from staff whatsoever which is a safety concern. Will not be staying again.

Terrible nights sleep every night due to air conditioning not working, temperature at 22 degrees. Reception couldn’t do anything due to a fault being on the fifth floor. Tv wasn’t working, looked like it was broken underneath. Was meant to have a twin room instead they gave us a double.

Hotel was decent enough and rooms were modern and a nice size. The hotel lobby was nice as well with a lovely Indian restaurant attached. The only downsides were that the toilet flush button was broken in our room (still could be used so not a massive issue) and the pillows were awful far too soft and no support so struggled to get a good night sleep and necks ached a bit the next day.

We’ve stayed at this ibis before for a concert in the near bye venues, however this time around we were extremely disappointed with the breakfast, which we had included in our booking. The coffee machines were broken, the breakfast food its self was not great either, we didn’t try the restaurant for dinner so can’t comment on it for this. But I definitely would not recommend paying extra for the breakfast and go elsewhere. There were also a few exposed cables hanging down from the mirror in the bathroom and the radiators, it just needed a little TLC I think. However, the hotel was easy to check in to, staff were helpful and friendly. The room itself was large, pleasantly decorated and it was clean.

I’ve stayed at random hotels in Leeds last few years, the hotel room was very good however the greeting by staff when checking in was not very professional. Coffee machine didn’t work downstairs, no available bottle of water either to pay in hotel reception or within the room, I would expect x2 complimentary bottles of water within the room. Checking out staff didn’t even bother to say thank you or acknowledge us when leaving or ask how was our stay

I stayed for one night to go see Jon Culshaw at City Varieties Music Hall. I really like this hotel brand anyway and this particular hotel is 100% perfect. Possibly the best one that Ibis has. Excellent staff, a tremendous food offering and just the look and feel of every part of it. The rooms and the facilities in them are superb, the curiously endearing Scandinavian sounding voice in the lift, the quirky wooden key cards and the sausages on the breakfast buffet. All perfect

When I booked in July it was confirmed as - Room, 1 Double Bed (The King). On arrival we were told that due to overbooking we had a single room with 2x single beds with a double mattress on top. There sheets were ripped in two places which was unacceptable .The room was very small for a couple and provided only one cup for refreshments. Breakfast was of good standard however all tables were full of used dishes and plates from previous guests .We asked for them to be cleared however towards the end of our breakfast only a few dishes were cleared and the table had not been cleaned . We were very disappointed with the level of service . There only seemed to be one lady clearing the tables so we understand she was extremely busy . I look forward to your reply.

Quick and efficient checkin. Hotel was clean. Room clean and comfortable bed. However only one cup in the room for tea/coffee when it as booked for a couple. Basic cooked breakfast but ran out of saussages, scrambled egg cold and bacon folded into little parcel shapes mking it hard. Only one chef on and he was also out clearing tables at times. Would find somewhere else for breakfast if I stayed again. There were cerials, cheese and meats for a continental option.
