The Met Hotel Leeds - Newly Refurbished

10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel, we had a refurbished room, which was 1st class, a very big hotel room and excellent en-suite. the only " downside" was the fact they had beautiful bedside tables, but no drawers in them, all the smaller stuff, such as underwear / socks etc had to go in the top of the wardrobe, other than that can't fault it."

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Idle is best to stay in for cheap hotels?

This central location provides convenient access to local amenities and public transport links, making it an excellent base for exploring without overspending.Solo travellers will find a good selection of smaller guesthouses and B&Bs in this vicinity, often family-run establishments that offer a more personal touch at a lower price point. Many are within walking distance of local shops and eateries, great for grabbing an inexpensive meal.Couples looking for value might consider the guesthouses a little further out from the immediate village centre, perhaps towards the Greengates or Thackley areas.
