Ace your visit to the lovely Yorkshire town with our pick of its best cheap hotels
Whether you’re here to visit mates, soak up the Yorkshire city’s industrial heritage, eat at some of the best restaurants in the land, or just looking for somewhere to crash after a concert, a few nights in Leeds can end up setting you back a few bob. But before you smash open the piggy bank, check out our pick of the best cheap hotels in Leeds. With pools, pruned grounds and open-plan kitchens, cheap doesn’t have to mean a compromise in quality. Which means you’ll also have a lot more pennies in your pocket to spend on all the incredible things to do in this great city.
What ibis rooms lack in space, they more than make up for in quality amenities and low prices. Clean and comfortable rooms include a shower cubicle (handy though not the most private way to wash if you’re sharing a room). There’s the option to add breakfast, although the town centre is a ten-minute walk away if you fancy eating out.

The Kingston’s plush decor makes you feel as if you’re paying a visit to a well-off auntie, which is no bad thing, especially if that aunty has prepared you an en suite room, can cook up a hearty full English and can even drop you off at Leeds airport (via the shuttle).
