Top South Elmsall Hotel Reviews

Sheffield Metropolitan Hotel by Belvilla

8/10 Good

"Good price and nice stay. Room was very dark as no ceiling light though making it hard to work. Good location and good value so no complaints"

Clayton Hotel Leeds

8/10 Good

"We stayed last weekend for a last minute trip and got an absolute bargain. I wasn’t expecting much but the hotel was brilliant! The rooms were slightly dated but the bed was comfy and if all you need accommodation for a night it is amazing. They had everything in the room that we needed. The breakfast was one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had at a hotel and I’ve stayed in many more that are much more expensive (even had syrups for the latte which made my morning and saved me having to go into Leeds and spend £5+ on one!). The only issues I had were that there was no cot in the room when I’d requested this twice before hand but as soon as I asked at reception they brought one up (they also assisted with luggage which was really helpful). The cot was super uncomfortable and the mattress was like concrete so our baby just slept in our bed so it probably recommend investing in some better cots as I don’t think any baby would sleep in that. Would definitely be back though. Thank you"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Leeds City Centre

8/10 Good

"really nice hotel no complaints, only issue is the tv isnt smart it only has radio and certain channels"

The Queens Hotel

8/10 Good

"As a disabled person the fact that a taxi can not pull up to the front door is very inconvenient ( but not a fault of the hotel but the Leeds council) so the car park is a walk away to be disabled or not with bags cases is a struggle on departure I ask on reception if there was a porter to help me with my bag to the car park as I am on crutches after suffering a broken neck and back could see I was clearly struggling But on my way out the disabled exit a very kind member of staff saw my struggle and offered to help me across to the car park With my bag which I am most grateful for As a business i think that Leeds council should alter the highways to allow taxi/uber to drop guests that are coming to Leeds to add to the Economy of the city at there front door"

Park Plaza Leeds

8/10 Good

"The staff were friendly and helpful. We had a lovely stay. The hotel is in a very central location."

The Met Hotel Leeds - Newly Refurbished

10/10 Excellent

voco Sheffield by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great hotel but it clearly needs a refurb now. The rooms are nice but the decor a bit old fashioned and showing signs of a lot of wear and tear. The corridors and panelling are chipped and bashed and the pool area and sauna etc missing tiles. It’s in a great location and the rooms and bathrooms are a great size and the mattress really comfy. Staff are really helpful and the onsite bar and restaurant are really nice. As I say, just needs a refurb to bring it up to speed."

Village Hotel Leeds South

10/10 Excellent

"We booked in hotel staff where fantastic I had car issue and they where supportive my mum has mobility issues and again supportive with the shower and bed from gym to house keeping and resption staff and restaurant staff again amazing and even swimming staff helped my mum for swimming amazing night thank you"
