Had a bit of a look on smoothhound and there are rooms available at The Golden Lion Hotel. Seems to be quite close to the city centre - anybody know if it's any good?
I want to get something booked fairly soon.

Stan

Never stayed there but before you go booking in at an inn which appears rather grotty from the outside let me have a scout round. I'm looking right now (thats for you too Haly)

 

[Gilly]

Laterooms are offering rooms in the Queens Hotel for £69. Thats for a twin, so if you could share it'd be half that.

I can't imagine you getting anywhere for less than that I'm afraid

[edit]Scratch that, a standard room is £50 for a single. And the Queens is right in the centre, but I'm still looking so don't book yet.

 

[Gilly]

Best I can find in the Hilton is £115 for a twin. So sharing would be half that.

If not sharing the Queens Hotel is far and away the best option through laterooms.

The Queens and the Hilton are on opposite sides of the Train Station, so there's no problem with you being stranded in town (the Queens is closer to the action than the Hilton so we can see you safely back and then go on to our hotel

Hmmm I really should sort out somewhere to stay too. Don't fancy a £30+ taxi ride home on me tod.

Aye. I got a taxi home with 3 others last weekend, calling into Wrenthorpe for me and they went on to Dewsbury. It was already at £16 then.

Figured I might as well have all the luxury of the hotel and the ease of food and bed within 30 mins

 

[Gilly]

Dangerous always backs out because he's a big unreliable jessie.

DRZ I told you ages ago he wasn't staying.

What's the verdict on Timberlands in the bars in Leeds? I know one place around here (Barracude in Bolton) I can't get in with them, grr.

Should think you'll be OK in bars. Clubs on the other hand, I'm not so sure.

I think it was more the Tequila that followed that screwed you though
