The Clock Hotel

It does feel like it is something out of a horror film. Wallpaper peels of the walls and the sheets are a long way off from being white. My presence hardly seems to matter to the guy behind the counter and it’s almost like he doesn’t want me to be there. Fine then don’t take my money.
I wanted to see what the place was like when I had some friends staying and couldn’t accommodate them all. It was a good job I went and had a look as there was no way I would inflict this on my friends.
I had a quick look around a couple of rooms but knew from the first one that there was no way I would ask people I like to stay there, might be alright if your house has just burnt down.

There could really do with being one of these right in the centre, or near abouts. Not to my knowledge is there a Clock Hotel, or Clock Hotel type of lodgings. It’s a cheap and cheerful kinda place, that as Alexandra says, is open all hours every hour for those situations when you can’t get home yourself, or when a few mates come down to see you, but there’s no way you can put them up because there’s someone already on the sofa, or you plain don’t want them there.
Accomodation is priced by room, and at £30 for a couple, it’s a bit of a bargain. Even if it is very basic accomodation, it offers some of the mod cons we’ve come to love, wi-​fi, car park, a telly, and NEED when away from home. It’s not a grand affair, but it doesn’t profess to be. And bonus, if you’ve been out on the lash, and this is your crash pad for the night… check out isn’t until 11.30 am. woop!

The Clock Hotel is one of those places which you could imagine saving you from a very rubbish situation, such as having nowhere to sleep in the middle of the night. It is open 24 hours a day and so even if it is 3am, your car has broken down and you are a while away from Leeds City Centre, you still have a ‘sleep in a real bed’ option. Hooray!
They offer single (£25 per night), double (£30 per night) or family (£40 per night) rooms. The family rooms sleep 4 people. All of which are en-​suite and include access to TV, hot drinks, internet, breakfast and a monitored car park to keep your wheels as safe as you.
It is extremely basic and nothing special but could be very useful if you’re stuck.

The Clock Hotel is situated about 20 mintues from Leeds city centre on Roundhay Road. The area is rather rough, and I certainly wouldn’t walk through there at night nor park my car somewhere unsecure. It is a very busy area so beware if you are driving — the local residents think nothing of stepping out in front of a moving car, and weaving in and out to cross the road.
The hotel is small, and more of a B&B. It is clean and friendly, not exactly luxurious, but it does serve it’s purpose. Food and drink is well priced and well made, it is just a shame the hotel is located in such a dangerous, noisy, rough area. In the clock building itself is a nightclub which a lot of students visit, so it can get rather busy in the area, with smashing bottles, vomit and 2am noise rather commonplace. Nearest shop is Tesco which is far too small and far too busy. There are plenty of kebab shops, curry houses and fried chicken places in the close vicinity (ie, every other shop) so if that’s your thing you certainly won’t go hungry.
I personally would avoid this part of Leeds like the plague and certainly wouldn’t choose to stay there. If I had to, the Clock Hotel would be fine as there is nothing wrong with the hotel itself, just the location.
