I can only rate the cafe and lobby areas as this is where I have meetings. The staff are friendly and accommodating, it is clean and very spacious which is wonderful as it offers a relaxed vibe. The location is great, a 2-minute walk to the city centre, a 2-minute walk to the Tetley Gallery and around 5 minutes walk to the train station. I'd recommend this hotel however I have not stayed in the rooms.
