Novotel Leeds Centre

The hotel is a modern seven-storey brick building and the rooms and public areas of the hotel have a modern minimalist design. The restaurant, bar and public areas are on the ground floor and the 196 hotel rooms are on the upper six floors.

All rooms have comfortable beds, a sofa, a work desk, a flat-screen television, ironing facilities, a small fridge/minibar, tea and coffee making facilities and en suite bathrooms. Superior and Executive rooms have Nespresso coffee machines and wireless speakers and Executive rooms also come with bathrobes, slippers and complimentary bottled water. Most rooms are a fairly spacious 25m² (269 sq ft).

Inspired by a soap factory that once operated nearby, the hotel’s Soap Factory Kitchen has more atmosphere than your average hotel restaurant. It features a casual dining menu of regional Yorkshire dishes as well as favourites including burgers and curries.

All guests also have access to the hotel’s fitness centre.

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

The hotel is at the western end of the city centre and the immediate neighbourhood is comprised of modern midrise flats and offices. Although the immediate vicinity around the hotel may appear a little dull, there are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby and it is only a two-minute walk to the riverfront, a four-minute walk to Leeds railway station and a 15-minute walk to the bus and coach station.

Local buses (including buses to nearby towns such as Dewsbury, Halifax and Huddersfield) stop outside the hotel on Whitehall Road; however, you’ll need to walk a few minutes to Wellington Street to catch a bus to the airport.

Car parking is available for £15 per 24 hours.
