Top Wakefield Hotel Reviews

The Yorkshire

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Yorkshire hotel was very nice! Our room was spotless . We booked a deluxe King room with walk in shower. Plenty of good quality towels and handwash in dispenser at sink and shower gel dispenser fixed on wall in shower. The White Company, it says but I can’t confirm it but it smelt beautiful! Towels and bath mat but no facecloth! There was a lack of shampoo & conditioner and body lotion. Most hotels supply this but just letting guests know so they can bring their own if needed. I actually used shower gel which worked fine. Hairdryer, iron and ironing board. Kettle with tea coffee and Borders prepackaged biscuits, milk and sugar. Cups & saucers. Huge Bed with classic white bedding. Bedside table as part of headboard with sockets and lighting both sides. 4 full pillows and decorative cushions. Dressing table again with sockets and large mirror and drawers. Area on this surface with kettle and tea & Coffee etc mentioned above. Good quality curtains at windows that overlooked the rooftops. Interesting view. Floor 2 room 200. Quirky shaped room. Functional (Good) Freestanding traditional double wardrobe with hanging space with plenty of wooden coat hangers. Long bench style seating with opening top. Cushioned with velvet. Suitcase rest. Step up to door into the on suite bathroom. Very big square room with toilet, sink, chrome towel rail with good quality extra large bath towels hand towels and bathmat. Rubber non slip shower mat also! Good mirror above sink."

Holmfield Arms By Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable clean room. Warm welcome on check in from staff. Ground floor room was requested and given, a bonus for us with dodgy knees. Breakfast available but not included in room rate. Food in resta urant excellent. Free car parking."

Malmaison Leeds

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very friendly and helpful and happy 😀."

Waterton Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"A beautiful Spa hotel with lovely amenties. The staff were so helpful. There were quite a few steps to negotiate in the Spa which was not good but, again, the staff were very helpful. Unfortunately the breakfast did not live up to the rest. The bacon looked pale and very uninteresting full of white stuff! The whole cooked breakfast was quite cold. Continental breakfast was good and varied. Teapots and milk jugs would stop a lot of walking about! Dinner was really good."

Quebecs

10/10 Excellent

"Always a pleasure to stay at this hotel. Great staff and superb rooms."

Clayton Hotel Leeds

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were really helpful, especially when it came ro the parking onsite, which got really busy with it being a bank holiday weekend"

Village Hotel Leeds South

8/10 Good

"Room are clean and its a super quiet hotel. Even it quite busy with families parties and work contractors we couldn't hear the other guests at all. Loved the leaiure facilities and swimming and steamed room was much needed after 4 hours travelling. We ate in the restaurant since im a gym member from another branch and made use of 50% off my whole bill the pizza was delicious. Location is 10 mins from the city and used the park and ride near by which was handy really glad we did as leeds city looked a bit chaotic and bus lanes everywhere! ! Will stay again!"
