Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated near Leeds castle and offers a reasonable stay in the area. The rooms are comfortable with a large bed but lack storage for clothes. The service, especially on the night shift, is accommodating and responsive to requests. The dining experience is decent with quick service, though some items may take a bit longer. Overall, a good value for a short stay in the area.
I loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, just around the corner from Leeds castle, and the service was top-notch. The rooms were comfy with a good bed, but the lumpy pillows and lack of storage for clothes were a downside. The dining experience could use improvement with limited breakfast options, but the organic Quebec cheeses were a delight. The facilities were great, especially the friendly Manager who went above and beyond to make my stay memorable.
