Title: Hotel in Leeds Post by: 4D on Monday, February 22, 2010, 20:46:56 There is going to be a group of us going up to Leeds in April for the away fixture. Considering it's on a Bank Holiday weekend we are looking to stay overnight. Anyone got any recommendations on places to stay, venues to visit (apart from Elland Road of course). Last time I went to Leeds was 1993 ???

Title: Re: Hotel in Leeds Post by: reeves4england on Monday, February 22, 2010, 21:01:37 I think Bewley's is the usual TEF hotel of choice. Near the train station and city centre. I'll let somebody else confirm if I've got the name right!
Title: Re: Hotel in Leeds Post by: Ralphy on Monday, February 22, 2010, 21:02:12 We stopped at the Bewleys hotel. Very smart.
Title: Re: Hotel in Leeds Post by: Saxondale on Monday, February 22, 2010, 21:03:05 Pretty basic but I usually stay at the Holiday Inn express at the armouries. Clean and pretty basic but has a bar. A good spectator sport is to go to morrisons and see the really truly thick yorkshireman / woman in their natural habitat.
I hate the place. Title: Re: Hotel in Leeds Post by: STFC_Manc on Monday, February 22, 2010, 21:04:30 If you are after some where cheap then there is a Etap hotel, 5 minute walk from the corn exchange.

Quote Dear Alan, Regarding your enquiry below, I am pleased to confirm we can offer you the rooms you have requested at our Leeds City Centre Premier Inn. The room rate is £58 per room per night. Full English cooked breakfast (all you can eat) will be an additional £7.50 per person per day if required. Your enquiry does not actually constitute a group booking at that particular hotel so payment would be due on arrival and cancellations are free up until 1pm on the day of arrival. If you would like me to hold these rooms for you I shall need your address and credit/debit card details for the booking. Kind regards, Dawn Decent enough, in the city centre, walkable to the ground. £29 a head for a twin room at that time. Title: Re: Hotel in Leeds Post by: DMR on Monday, February 22, 2010, 21:12:06 We went etap 2 seasons ago, tidy and cheap as fuck and bang near the nightlife. Unless you're intending to sit in your room for hours on end like a sad case I don't see the need for anything more luxurious.

I like the sound of the "all you can eat" breakfast. Title: Re: Hotel in Leeds Post by: leefer on Monday, February 22, 2010, 21:14:01 Whippet Burgers with a lard sauce.
Title: Re: Hotel in Leeds Post by: 4D on Monday, February 22, 2010, 21:24:40 Cheers all, there appears to be some different options there.
Title: Re: Hotel in Leeds Post by: jonny72 on Monday, February 22, 2010, 21:43:01 Cheers all, there appears to be some different options there. If they weren't different they wouldn't be options. Title: Re: Hotel in Leeds Post by: 4D on Monday, February 22, 2010, 21:51:49 An option is a choice, and each choice is slightly different :nerner:
Title: Re: Hotel in Leeds Post by: STFC_Gazza on Monday, February 22, 2010, 22:43:11 Gatecrasher Leeds!!!!!!

Seeing a late twenty-something dance to crap Trance music with glow sticks is slighty disturbing.

Title: Re: Hotel in Leeds Post by: The_Plagiarist on Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 10:44:16 Last time I went to leeds we stayed in the cells under the main stand for a while then were transferred (at no extra cost) to some larger cells in the city centre. Did we win that game 2-0 in the end? Last thing I remember was celebrating Parkin's goal... Title: Re: Hotel in Leeds Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 11:18:13 Talking of hotels and a bit off topic. Looking to go to see Fortuna Dusseldorf v Hansa Rostock in May. Found a hotel which is on the site of the Dusseldorf stadium (they built a new ground back in 2004) which does an overnight package. Bed, breakfast, ticket to the game, free public transport around the City for the day for 54 Euro per person.
It is German Second Division football right enough but Dusseldorf are towards the top and Rostock (who have a very sizeable hooligan faction apparently) and the ground is a 51,500 all seater stadium so I reckon that is a pretty good deal.
