Friendly staff. Clean room and comfortable bed. Lots of privacy despite being above the pub. Our room is facing the street, so there was some random noise but didn't bother us much. Walkable to city center with lots of food and shopping choices. Leeds has developed so many malls with luxury brands.

A basic type of 'above the pub' accommodation - all you need is there, including ear plugs which do come in handy at night, but the room and bathroom are a bit shabby and could do with an update. A very convenient location, so it's ok for a night or two.

Knock it down and start again!

Staying in room 6 and it is horrific, I’ve been searching for other hotels to stay but Leeds is ultra expensive tonight. I paid £67 for tonight. The walls are filthy, hard non carpeted floor, blood on the bed sheets, no mattress protector, black hairs on the pillows and the mattress under the bed sheet, no TV in the room, something that looks like a wardrobe but actually has a boiler in it, the bed sheet doesn’t totally fit the bed so is stretched for all it’s worth, the mattress is SO uncomfortable and old, it feels like laying on the bed frame. There is a private bathroom which is great but the shower is tiny. Good news! There is electricity, so there is that. A fan is offered, but you won’t need it as it’s freezing in here (in May). Totally regret staying here, do NOT stay here, horrific, can’t wait to get to work tomorrow morning. Update, I left at 11:30pm for a different hotel, this room isn’t fit for anyone staying in, a total disgrace.

Pleasant enough stay

Read mixed reviews before my stay. Found it quite pleasant. Some people may find access outside of bar hours difficult as it’s via the fire escape. Location is good. A short walk to city centre & plenty of places to eat & drink in the immediate vicinity. It’s an old building but room was clean & adequately furnished & decorated.

We stayed here after a concert at the Arena. We picked The Wrens because it was close to the Arena, and that was probably the only good thing. On arrival we were greeted and felt welcomed. Going up the stairs to the 3rd floor there were no lights. Entering the room it was ok, clean and cool. Until you open the bathroom door and the stench was horrendous. I think it was the smell of dampness but it was extremely overpowering thereforewe didnt want to stay in there long enough to use the shower. We obviously slept (I say slept loosely) on the mattress that felt like it was bought from IKEA. Springs sticking into every part of you body whatever position you lie in. Another bad note was that the bed sheets and towels were both stained. For an extra £20 we could have stayed at the Premier Inn, and that £20 definitely seems worth it this morning.

horrible hotel- stay away

I recently stayed at this hotel for two nights, and it was a horrible experience. The bed had springs poking through, making it impossible to sleep, and to make things worse, I found bed bugs. The carpet was filthy, and there was no cabinet in the bathroom to store personal items. The noise from a nearby club made it hard to rest, and the room was never cleaned during my stay. The pictures online were completely misleading, and I want my money back for such a disappointing and unsanitary experience.

First time visit

Easy to check in and handy that you can check in until 10pm especially when caught on motorway. Was a bit confused with initial directions but managed to locate room. Did expect a bath after seeing pictures but got a shower. Room was absolutely freezing and couldn’t see how to heat it and didn’t feel comfortable going downstairs to ask. Called phone line earlier and like a previous review got no answer. Thought I’d warm up with hot shower, water was lukewarm. Music playing outside until early hours but ear plugs provided in room alongside tea/coffee. On the plus side the bed itself was comfortable and warm and hotel location is good. Easy to checkout
