Leeds City Reviewed on Trip Advisor

Omsall from Birmingham left us this review of Leeds City!

 

“Woah”

5 of 5 starsReviewed 14 November 2011

Wow – what an awesome place to stay, very close to all the local amenities, the room was super stylish and modern, its larger than it looks on the photos, theres free internet and the staff are very friendly.

I would recommend this to anybody thinking of staying in the local area. The only downside is that there is no hotel parking, on the steet parking has a limit of 30-minutes at certain intervals although there is a city council car park across the road. 

 James M from Toulouse had this to say…

“Brilliant….”

Ho ho ho… nearly time for the Christmas Markets!

Posted on: by rejuvenate No Comments
As we are now into November I feel that we can legitimately mention Christmas… and one of our favourite parts of Christmas is a trip to the Christmas Markets…. and we are particularly lucky here in Manchesteras we have a particularly fine and famous one!
From the 17 November – 21 December 2011 it’s time to don your Santa hat, dust off the mulled wine glass, and get into the festive spirit – it’s time to head down to Manchester’s world famous Christmas Markets.

Attracting shoppers from all over the UK and beyond, the market has put Manchester city centre firmly on the Christmas map – the Christmas Market has become not just a fabulous place to shop but also a hugely popular leisure destination in its own right. No Mancunian winter is complete without a wander through the chalet-lined streets of the markets.

This year the market will be celebrating its 13th year and will take over eight different spaces around the city, each with it’s own distinct character and atmosphere.

The array of over 200 stalls is mind-boggling, with mouthwatering delicacies from all over Europe. The choice is getting bigger and bigger and includes gifts, crafts, jewellery, clothes, toys and an array of food and drink. Treat yourself to anything from Dutch mini pancakes, to Hungarian goulash to Spanish paella to French profiteroles. Relax with a hot chocolate, German or Spanish beer, or French wine. Soak up the atmosphere of a truly international event with a uniquely Mancunian flavour.

And after a hard day of shopping and sampling the goods you can make your way back to Roomzzz to relax and unwind! What could be better?

From the 7th – 17th October, The Manchester Food and Drink Festival is a nationally acclaimed event that has developed to its current level over 14 years. Conceived and developed in 1998, the event originated as a means of showing the rest of the nation that there was more to Manchester dining than the stereotypes that existed at the time.
In the 13 annual Festivals that have taken place over that time, the Festival has achieved a national status. It is an urban food and drink festival, there is no single location, rather the Festival takes over as much of the City Centre and surrounding districts of Greater Manchester as possible, with a huge programme of events taking place, both indoor and outdoor.
The Festival highlights a number of ‘Festival themes’, issues which affect the food and drink industry in the region.
Like Manchester itself, the Festival is both Original and Modern. Events and participation have ranged from a children’s food workshop at a community library in Salford, to a glittering Gala Dinner at Manchester’s Town Hall.
Over the years the Festival has drawn names as diverse as Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay and Bill Wyman, this year sees Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall headlining!
Check out the website for more details http://foodanddrinkfestival.com/
If you’re heading to the festival… why not check in at Roomzzz? You could spend your day eating and drinking, exploring fabulous food and wine , then returning to Roomzzz  for relaxation in our luxurious surroundings – a weekend of delightful treats for body, mind and soul!

German Christmas Markets – Millennium Square, Leeds

12th Nov – 20th Dec

This year, the thriving German Christmas Market, namely Christkindelmarkt, will arrive in Leeds on 12th Nov (provisional dates listed above). You’ll find plenty of arts & crafts, food stalls selling traditional German food and beer, plus plenty of entertainment within the centre bar area. It’s definitely worth a visit.

If you plan on coming from further afield, then why not make a weekend of it, and stay at one of our hotels in Leeds. With our two bedroom suites you can fit all the family in one apartment, watch TV on the LCD TV with freeview, or perhaps book a restaurant using the Apple Mac computer in the lounge. However you choose to spend your time, you can expect to spend it in luxury and comfort at one of the Roomzzz hotels in Leeds.
