Leeds Marriott Hotel

Stayed here for a works do and I have to say, this was possibly the comfiest hotel bed I have ever slept in ! The rooms were spacious and clean and had all the mod cons (tv, mini bar etc.). Bathrooms were spacious but a little dated.
Do not touch anything in the minibar as the charges are automatically activated by movement of items !
Staff could have been a little more helpful — I put my car in valet and I gave them 40 mins warning I needed it back (they only require 20) it wasn’t busy and I was still waiting in the cold.
Would stay again if visiting leeds !

So… made a prepaid reservation for a business trip… dates changed… fair enough, my bad, it was a prepaid reservation. I wrote it off as a loss. However, a colleague who was travelling with me who ALSO had a prepaid reservation was refunded. Only two differences: He went through our corporate portal and had an AMEX travel advisor… I — as a loyal Marriott Rewards member of many years — went through the Marriott website. The second difference was that I am a Gold Elite Marriott Rewards member… my colleague couldn’t give a rat’s behind about Marriott and is not a Rewards member of any level.
Based on this information, I contacted the Marriott and explained the situation… they contacted the hotel and I received a «tough luck» email. I re-​engaged again pointing out that my colleague’s pre-​paid reservation was refunded… after a week, another tough luck email only this time I wasn’t even copied on it. Called Marriott two more times… and each time the story changed and more and more excuses and outright lies, up to and including that my colleague used Expedia to make the reservation. Errrrr. No. Then they claimed that Expedia did the refund. Errrr. No. Not according to our corporate credit cards. Then they claimed that we called Expedia. Errrr. No. Our American Express rep called the hotel front desk and management.
In a nutshell… the Marriott in Leeds is arbitrary in its policies and Marriott Rewards Gold Elite status will get you nothing and nowhere. But… it’s all good… I’ll take my business elsewhere… and recommend that my colleagues do the same.

Quality and quantity.
Rooms are lovely, clean and well equipped but hey, I’m not in there to watch tv and drinks cups of tea — although it’s all there if you want to. Comfy bed, spacious room and very clean bathroom.
Easy check-​in and a nice bar/​restaurant. The function room I was in was a bit sparse but hey, it’s a good sized room with all the techno stuff we needed.
Breakfast was the usual faire; hot & cold options. Again, another clean space and plenty on offer.
Oh, so why not a 5 star rating? Why all the card swiping in the elevators now? Technology overload IMO.
I always like the Marriott’s and this one didn’t disappoint either.

What a disappointing stay. Felt like we were transported back to the 80’s staying here. Drab, dingy and dismal. In serious need of a room refurb if they seriously consider this a four star property.
With the weekend room rate pushing £100, how can you seriously charge an extra £6 p/​h for wifi?
Requested an early check-​in when booking as we were attending a wedding later that day (in the property, so spending a fair whack of cash here), and when stating this at check-​in, we were made to feel like they were doing us a favour by finding a ready room.
Also, the lock was broken on the locker in the changing rooms, but nobody on the spa reception to report this to. Its only a £1, but as I didn’t have another pound on me, had to leave and come back later with another one. And the sauna was out of order! Needs some serious repairs to this property.
All in all, won’t be back in a hurry.

Great facilities and service from this Marriott Hotel. Whether you are staying the night with friends or on a business trip, the Marriott ensures you are fully rested and fuelled for any event. We are looking for a new venue for our training days in the new academic year. This could be the next stop.

Excellent service, surprisingly quiet for a city centre hotel, comfortable rooms and good breakfast!

A well maintained example of the Full Service /​4* Marriott, with 2 restaurants, a lobby coffee shop, and comprehensive gym /​pool /​sauna.
Easily located for City Centre, and very close to railway station (LDS).
A couple minor quibbles:
— The parking is in an adjacent NCP, which is currently £17.50 per 24 hours plus 2.5% credit card fee … the «discount» for Marriott guest is a miserly 5%
— Having visited on an unseasonably warm autumn day, it was apparent the air conditioning in the room (on maximum cooling setting) was only just coping … the fact that rooms have desk fans in the wardrobes suggests that on very warm summer days the air conditioning may not be up to the job

Another quality Marriott in the centre of Leeds.
When arriving, look out for signs As it is hard to find.
The breakfast is quality and the spa room is one of the best.

One New Year’s Eve not so long ago we decided that we’re too old to stay up until 10am for a train and didn’t want to risk the hell on earth that is NYE taxi self flogging. So we plumped for a stay at the Marriott.
The location is perfect for which ever way you need to head and the brand has a degree of pedigree. So we were quite happy at getting a reasonable bargain and lay down our weary heads.
I’ve got to say it was a pleasant stay. I did perhaps expect a little bit more but it was decent enough. Our room temperature was almost Baltic but the reception staff did sort out our query without much fuss. They’ve also got a pool of sorts and some nice gym equipment if you’re really keen.
Good food too and room service. You never know when you need a cheeky sandwich at silly o’clock.
One tip for you though. Don’t move anything out of the mini bar. We did so in order to chill our own champagne but it’s all electronic these days. They nearly charged us a GDP of a small country after thinking we’d binged on enough booze and savour snacks to sink a ship. All was sorted though and we went on our way content.

I’ve actually never stayed in the hotel but the reception and dining rooms look exceptional. For this reason I can’t comment on the quality or the cost, but I was a member of the health suite…
For £43/​month I got access to the (very small) gym, swimming pool, spa, sauna and steam room. Not bad value. I left once Pure Gym opened though as this offers much better value. I do miss the pool though, because it was nearly always empty and it was good to go for a relaxing swim in the evening.
The sauna facilities are great too — really relaxing and never busy. Recommended if you prefer the sauna, spa and steam rooms than the gym (lazy!).

i loved it here. the rooms were clean and modern, there was leisure facilities which my and my friends used every day. it was extremely easy to find, and a two minute walk from the main shopping area.
if you’re ever in Leeds, be sure to stay here!

We stayed for a Saturday night and thought the room was really nice. The staff were friendly and polite and we were able to leave our bags at Reception until our room was ready as we had got here early. We were really impressed with our room and the décor was very nice. We didn’t use any of the facilities on offer here but the concierge rang up and made a restaurant reservation for us. When we checked in the receptionist offered us breakfast in our room instead of coming down to the dining room. This was to avoid waiting in queues and we accepted. This was lovely and arrived on time and was nice and hot. The check out was 12pm which was great and we would definitely stay here again. The hotel is situated just off the street in a little kind of courtyard. When we checked out it was apparant that there were a few hen and stag parties also staying at the same time but we were ot disturbed by any noise during our stay — they were maybe just well behaved!

I stayed here whilest on a night out in Leeds. I picked this hotel as it was well situated being only about a five minute walk from the train station so it is easy to get to.
The rooms are clean, well decorated and have plently of space so you don’t feel like you are stuck in a concrete box.
While staying here you have access to the facilities which include a gym and a pool but as I was only there for one night I did not make use of them

Besser als die üblichen Marriott-​Hotels, in erster Linie wohl weil es ein altes (renoviertes) Gebäude ist, und nicht ein grauer Betonstandardkasten. Sehr gut gelegen zum Stadtzentrum in Geh-​Entfernung. Die Restaurant-​Empfehlung (
) der Rezeption war ein Volltreffen :-)

Really massive hotel just up from the station in Leeds. It’s all a bit old school in here compared to the Radisson and Malmaison offerings, so, I didn’t really like staying there. On the plus side, if you’re into fitness, which I most certainly am not, there is a gym and a pool — not available in other Leeds hotels. I’m told the Marriott rewards system is also very good should you find yourself in the unfortunate position of living here!

I went to this hotel while attending a conference. The rooms have been recently refurbished, I particularly like the reading lights on the headboard. The rooms are spacious– unlike many city centre hotels. I did get a bit confused while reaching the hotel– however, its only later I realised that the hotel is a 5 minute walk from the train station and the shopping quarter. I also dined in the lobby café and found the staff to be courteous and friendly.
