The hotel is in a very good location by the station and it is literally over the road and around the corner from the late night bars. The staff were very good as when I walked in check in was minutes and was very fast. I am very impressed with this hotel. The room was nice, bathroom was a bit small for anyone needing the extra space but doesn't bother me.

The perfect overnight stay in Wakefield. Good location near all the nightlife, the hotel room has everything you need for a comfortable visit.

Disappointing. Room was not clean properly - main lighting and card switch/socket did not work so I had no light in bedroom ceiling nor in the bathroom. Had to survive with a small bedside lamp only. Also very dirty carpet. Reception was not helpful at all. During the night somebody was really loud on the corridor, I went to see the receptionist, but nobody was there, door locked ( It was suppose to be 24/7 ). Will not stay again. Do not recommend.

Hotel is really close to the train station, but that's it. I think this place is a homeless shelter. Most guess of the hotel are homeless. Some of them asked me for food and money. It's great that they want to help these people, but can't really call yourself a hotel in that situation. Reception was not 24/7 as I was informed when I arrived. Light in the room did not work.

Clean and comfortable hotel and I had a good sized room. Staff were friendly and helpful. The decor is starting to look a bit tired. There is also a lack of attention to detail - no bedside lamps for instance, light switches needing to be repaired. But good value.
