Mercure Leeds Centre Hotel

My daughter and I shared a twin room while in Leeds for a conference. Staff were friendly and efficient. Everything and everyone seemed relaxed and easy. We were able to store our cases there ready to collect at the end of our conference. We enjoyed the decor too. Despite being in a central location, we found the area quiet.

This is my second time of staying here. The first time I was allocated a basement room to negotiate. The corridors are tricky and obviously no windows 🙄 save for the lack of windows it was decent very modern room and clean. This time I am on the second floor and have windows! Which is nice even though the view is far from ideal. The first time I stayed breakfast wasn't included in the price and to be honest I wasn't bothered especially after walking past it in the morning. This time breakfast was included. Breakfast starts at 6:30 I arrived at 7:30 for breakfast and the bacon was full of fat and cold :-( the beans and hash browns were also cold the sausages were hot as they were under a separate hot light. The toast took an age (it is serve yourself) and was then only scared with heat so if you are thinking of having breakfast here either don't bother or have it at 6:30 when it is likely to be hot. Overall experience 6 out of 10 the rooms are decent especially if you get a window. Breakfast based on this morning's experience I would probably give that a miss or go early.

Not the cheapest hotels in Leeds by any stretch. £130/night. Great queen size bed, very comfortable. Nice room, could do with floor standing lamps though, lighting isn't the best. Good sized bath. Breakfast would have been okay, but was cold. Room service was very poor. whole breakfast/ coffee came cold, no cutlery, missing items, not enough bowls for boxes of cereal brought. a shame it let the whole visit down.
