[OvernighterUk, 14/03/2010] I stayed at Etap Leeds while travelling on business, it had been recommended to me by a colleague. The room was pretty basic but it had all I needed for an overnight stay. The room was clean, the shower was great, staff really friendly and welcoming...what more do you want for £36? In the morning I had the breakfast which was more than substantial and only cost £3.25. The only thing I missed was having a kettle in my room but was more than happy when I found out you can get a hot drink 24 / 7 from the reception. I will definitely be staying at Etap again and definitely recommend it!
[serendipity, 18/01/2010] On a recent visit to Leeds we stayed in a hotel close to the city centre and once we had checked in, it being lunch time, we were keen to get something to eat. a short walk from the hotel brought us to this place which looked welcoming with chairs and tables outside and directly overlooking the river.
Inside ...
The restaurant / bar is inside a converted warehouse with evidence of its past being tastefully integrated into the modern and cosy decor. There is a smallish bar at the back of the room with tables and chairs dotted around and by the windows are sofas and tables. All this is in wood

[serendipity, 17/01/2010] The hotel is in a converted 18th century warehouse and right next to the River Aire.
The location is convenient for the city centre and shops and bars and restaurants. The hotel is a great mix of modern and old, and it all works beautifully.
Friendly and efficient staff, 24 hour room service, good food make this a hotel I would recommend and one where I ant to revisit.
[tommo100, 05/08/2009] I recently stayed at the village hotel in leeds. The room and stay in general was ok, but I had problems after checking out. When I arrived there was just £25.00 left to pay for the room (deposit had been paid) I was told I had to give credit card details for my stay, presumably for room service etc. When I left the bill was just £25.00 which I paid cash.Two days later I was at a supermarket checkout with my weekly shop and my card would not authorise payment. On further investigation I found I had enough funds in (£90.00) but available balance was only £20.00 this was because the hotel had ke

[TheDaz, 06/02/2009] Cutting edge it may have been 40 years ago - but now the Merrion Centre stands only for the concrete depression of out of date design that proliferates in unregenerated areas.
The Morrisons aside, the other shops inside are small independent retailers struggling to make a living as they find themselves a way from the newer hub of Leeds' shopping centre - beyond even the adjacent St Johns Centre.
The lighting is poor, the access to the top floor is inadequate, and there aren't even any public toilets available.
To top it off - the attached Car Park, a similarly depressing hunk of concr

[Iohan60, 16/08/2008] More or less what I expected from a hotel like that, not much more than a bed to sleep. For the rest nothing, Also the neighbourhood offers nothing at all. Only when you need to get an early flight it is convenient.
[mrsw, 06/08/2008] The deal booked and agreed via the web suddenly became £40 more on checking out. There appears to be a problem with promotion codes so make sure you get everything in writing, ESPECIALLY THE PRICE before you set foot in the place. Arrogant staff just quote promotion codes and have a "Not Our Problem" attitude.

[serendipity, 05/02/2008] The hotel is very central to most of the shopping centres and restaurants, and being very close to the railway station, it's a good place to stay if travelling by train. We did actually think it would have been better to take the train than the car because as it was, there was no space in the (very small) car park.
For anyone going to Leeds, I would recommend the hotel- luxurious, close to all amenities and not too expensive. I would go back.
[fizzytom, 09/07/2007] Tropical World is situated at the Roundhay Village end of Leeds Roundhay Park. It is an intriguing combination of winter gardens and zoo with a series of expertly created landscapes such as Amazonian rainforest, Australasian desert and swamps for the visitor to explore.
Curiously since the theme is short-lived, you embark on your trip via the HMS Tropical World not a ship at all just a concept and the first stop is a tropical beach scene; rather disappointingly there is not much to see here, just a mock up of a tropical beach. Its at this point that everyone takes off their hats and coat
