“Delightful in every way!”
5 of 5 stars

This was my second visit at Roomzzz Newcastle. The first visit was so good that we decided to come back for few more days and am so looking forward to be back again. What a pleasure to be staying here.

Staff was just excellent , very pleasant and helpful. We stayed in the Penthouse Suite and what a delight! The attention to detail has been fantastic. Really gives you a luxurious feeling and felt so good to have such a space to ourselves. Having an iMac in the suite was such a luxury,which I have not had at any other hotel yet, not even at hotels like Atlantis,The Palm !!! I just can’t say enough as to how happy we were at Roomzzz. Again, we had two big televisions in the suite which was great. The sitting area was very comfortable and gave a good space to chill out.

We had the complimentary breakfast on the first day and it was lovely. The coffee machine made great drinks,the Mocha and Hot Chocolate were my favourite and my husband was enjoying the Latte’s. We had nice selection of French pastries and it was all complimentary! On our second morning,we prepared a cooked breakfast and we found everything that we needed for it.The oven and the microwave was sparkling clean. It was a real pleasure. For evening meals, we took a short walk to Grey Street on both nights and had a lovely dinner’s at The Living Room and at Brown’s. We were very much in the centre of town within minutes walk from our hotel.

The beautiful staircase lead us to the bedroom upstairs which was very romantic and trendy. The bed was extremely comfortable,but no surprise there as it was the same when we stayed the time before. The bedding was very good quality and luxurious. We had a good sound sleep on both nights. Bathroom was lovely too with nice shower. Towels were very absorbent and were changed regularly.

The standard of house keeping was impeccable,everything was nice and clean.

We just did not want to leave our room to go out. We had some real chill time in our Suite and are so looking forward to be back. What a pleasure to see that the standards have not slipped at all. We have decided to come back every few months!!!!

“Fantastic hotel – gigantic rooms!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 24, 2013

I totally enjoyed this hotel. Great staff; well furnished rooms with kitchen facilities and great showers. Every room has a desk, a table, sofa and huge windows. I’ve never seen so many lights in one room – there’s a light for every corner! Great coffee and croissants in the morning too. I’d stay there again for sure.

We love reading our reviews of Roomzzz Aparthotel on Trip Advisor…

Totally unbiased and straight from our guests. The review below is from Roomzzz Aparthotel Leeds City – which incidentally is just around the corner from the new and wondrous Trinity Leeds. Perfect for all  your shopping needs as well as being FAMOUS – how could you not have seen it on the news yesterday?

“Great place to stay whether on business or leisure”
5 of 5 stars

Reviewed 18 March 2013

‘As a regular visitor to Leeds on business, I usually get put up in one of the many hotels in Leeds, however I have now discovered Roomzzz Aparthotel and wouldn’t go back to the hotel experience. These apartments are very well appointed and 5mins walk from Leeds Station so very central.

I love the fact I can eat in, eat out, cook for myself or for colleagues or bring in a takeaway (no more eating in my room on room service!) and I have everything thing I need for a comfortable stay. The beds are very comfortable, the bathrooms have everything you need (including underfloor heating) and are clean and modern and the kitchen has all the appliances, cutlery and crockery you could possibly need as well as a washer dryer and dishwasher.

The ‘grab and Go’ breakfast provided in the price hits the spot nicely with decent coffee and fresh croissants and pastries, juice and fruit.

The concierge in reception is friendly and helpful and to top it all, it’s cheaper than staying in a hotel so good for my company’s budget!

If you are staying for leisure, Leeds excellent shopping centre and myriad of eateries are just minutes away.

I highly recommend you give Roomzzz a try next time you have to stay in Leeds’.

“Best value for money I have ever encountered in the UK”
5 of 5 stars

Best value for money for a 2-bedroom flat in Leeds downtown.

I have stayed in many hotels all over the UK and I have never payed just 79-109 pounds for such property with free Wi-Fi, iMac in the living room and even some grab on breakfast included in the price.

Keep in mind there is no car park on site, but you can use Q-park, the hotel provides you with 50% discount tickets. There is ‘loading only’ area just across the street and you can use it to get your luggage.
