We liked the room as it was quite big and spacious also the beds were quite comfy the choice of cereals was adequate and the hot drinks were excellent. I thought the water was just the right temperature and the person was very welcoming.

Didn't like the shower itself as it was broken which didn't give out the right pressure of the water when showering it could have been there for ages without replacing etc. We also didn't like the area the place was in as it was quite scruffy round about the place but I must say there were plenty of bus routes to there as it was quite well away from the city center for bus/train stations.

This review is NOT for Russell Scott Backpackers, it is for the EasyHotel Leeds. I was booked into the Hotel due to RSB being unable to accommodate me because of maintenance work, which i was extremely grateful for, as the replacement hostel for my 2 nights prior was awful. I only stayed 1 night and rang the EasyHotel to see if i could arrive a day earlier which they were more than happy to help me. The Hotel was wonderful, great staff, in the city centre and has everything you need for a great stay in Leeds.

EasyHotel - absolutely nothing! Russell Scott Backpackers Hostel - everything!

RATING EASYHOTEL SINCE THEY CHANGED US TO A HOTEL On the day of our arrival, Russell Hostel contacted us to tell us we had to stay at EasyHotel in the city center due to problems at Russell Hostel. This wasn't an issue for us, as it was better located for our stay. EasyHotel is really good. The room had a private bathroom, was very warm, comfortable, and quiet, perfect for relaxing. I would definitely go back there!

The hotel paid the difference in our room because they had supposedly upgraded it. We chose the hostel because it had cooking facilities and included breakfast. We didn't find any of that at the new hotel. So for us it was not an upgrade because not even the features of our original room and what it included were maintained.

This is going to be a useless review to most people as it doesn't actually review the property, because I didn't end up staying there The day before my booking the manager contacted me saying that due to unforseen circumstances I couldn't stay at the hostel. Instead of cancelling the booking they promptly arranged alternative equivalent accomodation at a nearby chain hotel at no extra cost to me. There was an issue with their property, they owned the issue, and they resolved the issue at no extra cost to me. Good customer service in my book

Pros: Staff was wonderful! Phillip was always very accommodating, especially there was another guest in the female dorm who had stinky shoes - Phillip politely asked n took the girl’s shoes out of the bedroom, provided air fresheners, opened window wider, opened our bedroom door for a bit longer. Angel & Amy were wonderful, too. They kept the place in tip top shape. Location was superb - a few minutes walk to the city, it’s attractions, all it’s amenities - eateries, cafes, public transportations. Breakfast was available all day & always stocked. A very quiet area.

Cons: Carpeted floor in female dorm which traps smell & dirt no matter how much vacuuming; it needs to be steamed cleaned at least every 6 months! Shoes should not be allowed in female dorms as the room is too small and too tight with only 1 window working. In Scandinavia, most hostels do not allow shoes, they have to leave them by the entrance door on shoe racks or shelves. No toilet in ground floor where the female dorm is, one has to go up the next floor.

Superb, first time I stayed in a Hostel and I was amazed how nice this place was. Very well equiped and in center of leeds top

The Lady hotel employee not really a people person, asked her for toilet rolls as both top floor toilets had been empty of rolls and she was too busy on a personal phone call, she acted like I had been disturbing her. The man hotel worker really welcoming and customer focused but the lady was the opposite. However the lady during the day was superb at clearning and arranging the hotel , perhaps she needs some training on customer training

Good value for money. Facilities are clean; the room was very quiet from arrival to departure. This is not a 'party hostel' - there are rules about curfew. It was great for me as I was travelling for work and needed somewhere cheap but good in Leeds. A decent range of breakfast cereals and other items are provided free, with different types of milk in the fridge. The kitchen has all the necessary white goods for preparing your own meals. WiFi is available throughout the hostel and is free. Check-in and check out were friendly and easy. I walked from the bus station to the hostel, which took about 25 minutes. The hostel is about 10 minutes walk from the centre of Leeds and all the shops and facilities. I've been using hostels for years, and this was a very good one.

Can't think of anything bad.

The hostel is right on the bus route from the airport and very close to the railway station. It is small but well-lead and the guests were also very nice and friendly. Showers and toilets were regularly cleaned and were not taken for exceeding long by others. Beds are comfortable and there are heaters if needed. It is also relatively quiet.

The window in my room and one shower were waiting to be mended, otherwise fine. Jam is new on Fridays :)

The staff had been greatly accommodating. The gentleman who is at the reception went out of his way in assisting me to find the place and with any other request. Very satisfied with the staff.

Maybe the kitchen area. If there would be a dishwasher where one can place the dishes instead of being handwashed by other guests. One cannot be certain on the level of cleanliness if handwashed by others. You have to wash them anew to make certain of good standards.

The owner was very friendly and helpful, and very active with keeping the hostel up to a good standard of cleanliness. Free all day breakfast was great and always very well stocked. Generally a good vibe and I'd stay again.

The combination lockers were out of use, though I managed to figure out the combination to one of them. The mattresses weren't great. Passable but could be an issue if you need a firm bed for medical reasons.
