Cosmopolitan Hotel

The hotel has 89 guest rooms arranged over three floors. All rooms have comfortable beds, a work desk, a sitting area, a flatscreen television, ironing facilities, tea and coffee making facilities and en suite bathrooms with bathrobes (although bathrobes are only available if you’re staying Monday to Thursday).

Because the hotel is in an older building, rooms vary in shape and size and lack the consistency that you may be used to if you usually stay in more modern hotels. Another drawback of the older building is that the hotel does not have air conditioning and this means that it may not be the best option for you if you’re staying in Leeds during the summer.

The hotel has a large restaurant with an international menu, although its central location means that there are plenty of other places to eat and drink nearby.

It is a well-established hotel and some parts of the hotel can feel a little dated. The hotel changed ownership in August 2020 and the new owners plan on making this the first hotel in the newly-formed Belfont brand.

Free Wi-Fi wireless internet access is available throughout the hotel.

The hotel has an excellent location across the street from the Malmaison Hotel at the southern edge of Leeds city centre. It is at the southern end of Briggate (Leeds main shopping street) and at the western edge of The Calls (the gentrified area noted for its nightlife and restored brick warehouses). From here it is only a one-minute walk to the River Aire, a four-minute walk to The Tetley and a five-minute walk to the railway station. It is very close to Leeds main shopping districts and only a two-minute walk to Trinity Leeds and the Corn Exchange, a four-minute walk to Leeds Kirkgate Market and a five-minute walk to the Victoria Quarter.

The hotel does not have any on-site car parking facilities, although guests can get discounted parking at the Q Park Sovereign Square car park which is 180m (200 yards) away.
