Stayed with 4 mates, great welcome and great setup. Easy to find, top value and decent brekky in the morning, couldn’t ask for more, cheers. Won’t let me add less than 200 characters, so I’ll just say thanks again to the guy who welcomed, Phil, I think.

Spot on

It's clean, safe, and has a lot of amenities, including a whole kitchen with fridge, microwave, toasters, hot plates, dishes/cutlery, free breakfast (porridge, cereal, etc). It's not as nice as a hotel, but so much nicer & cleaner than your average hostel. The bed was very uncomfortable, but otherwise it's one of the best hostels I've stayed in, will definitely stay again. I only regret that I forgot to take photos, because the ones you see on Trip Advisor are outdated.

outdated photos, it's actually great

The address of this hostel is now at 1, Lisburn Square off Skinner Street in Leeds City Centre. It's a purpose built hostel, with clean, smart rooms. Comfortable beds and very well accustomed communal areas ,kitchen,toilets, shower and reception.  I got a single room (room 3)  on the ground floor, which had two beds. The whole place is run by  Phil, who gives you a very thorough guided tour of your room and the hostels amenities . Security is 5* with CCTV and keypad entrance for late night returners. I was in town for a show at Brudenell ( Evil Blizzard's Blizzoween) and the venue is literally a 5 /6 minute drive / cab ride away and equal distance into the city centre. Overall, it's a great hostel..warm, friendly and very clean..Just wish the weather was equally as good - So don't be put off by the other reviews, this place is outstanding !!

This is not the location mentioned here !!

Visited here last minute as we had no where too go. Brilliant room for 5 of us and the runners of the place were friendly and helpful. The beds are comfy and you get free complementary food to male yourself. Showers and toilets are clean and just I general a nice place to stay of you're travelling around and need a place too stay or with friends.

Thanks for sorting us out as it was needed!!



Last minute

I stayed on a Saturday night in a solo room  on the ground floor.  It was easy to check in and I was shown around the building.  The room was clean and the double bed was very comfortable.  It's not a posh place , but you already know this . But it did a good job of giving me what I needed . A clean bed for the night. The toilet seat was broken and probably will be for a while to come. But the manager was very nice and helpful.  I didn't know that there is on site parking for a small fee , so I parked in west street council carpark 5 minutes away.  The hostel is only 20 minutes walk from the main shopping area of Leeds and a two minutes from a pub which I was given a 10% discount voucher to use on food and drinks.  There's a Starbucks round the corner also. Even though there's free tea and coffee in the hostel.  Over very nice experience.  And I would go back as a solo traveller.  

Cheap and cheerful.  

Weekend away with my dad for the rugby at Headingly. Hostel is a great location barely a  5 minute walk into Leeds City Centre. 

great pub called the Editors Draught close by also with a few great Craft Beers and traditional ales.

Room was small and clean. For the price 0 complains. Hostel was quieter than I expected which was a bonus. Both Staff members where very friendly and hellpfull also.

Rugby trip

A recently remodelled hostel, with ample bathrooms and communal space, that's worth you trying. I greatly appreciated the supply of free breakfast foods. A private room worked just fine as a place to crash and store my stuff, with a reasonable bed. It's a tad loud and the corridors smell of stale beer, but that's pretty standard for a hostel and didn't bother me.

Pretty good for a hostel

Couldn't seem to get over the fact that i was effectively staying the night in an office....desks removed and beds added. It was however clean, extremely good value and the manager was attentive and ever present.

Phil was great

The hostel is small, not like most hostels. Once you pass Wellington St, the hostel is not that very easy to find.
The location is not too far from the train station but further away from main the high street and shopping complex.   In order to get to Millennium Square, where the Xmas markets are you have to walk across a car park and duel carriage way.  The staff sleep at the hostel and one of the annoying female staff actually sleeps in the dorm room, which is weird and leaves the window blind up when lights are on at night.  The shower only runs luke warm water, never hot water. When they are cleaning the place you gotta get out. You can't use the kitchen or toilet, unlike in other hostels. The only good thing I can say about this hostel is that it provides free breakfast.

Russell Scott Backpackers Leeds Review

I booked a room on laterooms & on arrival was informed that they had no booking for me due to laterooms going bust. I wasn't aware that they had gone bust. The receptionist was not at all apologetic but she contacted the manager who said I should take the issue up with laterooms, how can I when they no longer exist if gone bust?! I booked a room on my own but luckily they managed to find me a bed in a dorm although I would have preferred a room on my own. I was going to a concert in the evening & found it hard to find a hotel room within my budget so thought I will take the bed. The carpet in the room was stained and the whole place looked like it could do with a hoover. I didn't find it very professional that the manager slept on the sofa bed as you walk upstairs. There was a code to get into the room which was hard to see in the dark & I could see no light to be able to see. I had to go to the desk to try and see the code that they had written down for me & the manager asked me what I was doing near the desk, found him quite rude. Although he helped me to get into my room. The bed was comfy but I kept getting woken up by people outside trying to get in. Wouldn't recommend this place. Just glad I was only staying for one night as I wouldn't have wanted to stay any longer in this dirty place.
