Fantastic stay I would love to come back!
Pros: The early morning check in staff went over and beyond her call of duty to check me in! I’d also want to thank Terry for tending to my request .
Cons: Location facilities and it felt so safe , I also got to learn the property has lots of history and is a listed building .

Would definitely book here again if I come back to Leeds.
Pros: Very clean and well appointed room. Quiet and tv and I would have liked to use the gym and sauna if I'd had time!
Cons: The bathroom had a strong chemical or fumey smell to it which was quite unpleasant even though it was very clean.

A very good stay for 3 days
Pros: Service was excellent, the best I've had in ages. Staff literally walked me through everything upon arrival. Any time I walked by one of them I got some friendly banter. Rooms were small as advertised but clean and efficient. Bed was a bit stiff for me. Air con wasn't operational and I had road noise but it was cool. Bathroom is tiny, had to dry outside of it lol. I'm an average guy sized. But operationally it was fine, good pressure, doors and drain. Towels provided were good. Kitchen was awesome 👍 had my own locked cubby, fabulous. Huge money saver for food as Tesco is a 2 minute walk. Gym facilities excellent 👍 Used the sauna and weights, all excellent.there are games like pool, ping pong and bowling. All in all it was a very good to excellent stay.
Cons: A bit hot in the kitchen. Doors slam loudly

Fantastic palce to stay in Leeds - just not during heatwaves!
Pros: Brotherton House is located in Leeds city centre and only a short walk from the train station. It's a very safe area with many restaurants, cafés and supermarkets. Tesco Express is less than 5 min away. Staff at reception were very nice and I was given a tour of the accommodation when I arrived. This accommodation has plenty to offer: saunas, gym, game room, communal spaces, study rooms (if you need to get some work done), cinema room, etc. There's also a communal self-service laundry. The shared kitchen was large and well equipped with everything you need (incl. pots, oven, fridge-freezer, toaster, etc.). Each room has allocated storage and fridge-freezer in the kitchen which is opened with the room key. The room/bathroom was small, but immaculately clean, and the bed was comfortable. There was a large desk, plenty of storage space, iron/board and smart TV in it. Wi-fi was super fast and worked very well.
Cons: Guests are expected to buy things like washing liquid, sponges, dishwasher tablets, bin bags, soap (although toiletries are provided on arrival), etc. While not a massive problem, it's also not ideal for short/long stays. The room, while nice overall, was super hot and stuffy during the heatwave. There was no air-con or fan in the room and since it's not possible to open the windows properly for H&S reasons it meant that I couldn't sleep for three nights in a row. The whole third floor was super hot after several heatwaves with the temperature reaching 27 degrees in the lift itself - it was even worse in the corridors and the room. While I absolutely loved Brotherton House as a whole and would gladly come back in the future, I would definitely avoid it during hot days. If it wasn't for the temperature, I would give it 10/10.

Possibly the best Student Residence.
Pros: Great facilities, I enjoyed the bowling very much! Worth the bucks! Reception was really helpful and friendly, it wasn’t rowdy either. Each room is provided a locker in the kitchen with our own fridge and storage space for cooking utensils. Kitchen is always clean. Bedroom is nice too, the smart TV works well and bathroom is clean. Lack of amenities though especially for very short stays, they don’t provide toilet tissues but the reception was nice enough to give me a roll since i’m only staying for 5 nights. This is definitely the best student residence i’ve stayed in terms of facilities, it’s luxurious.
Cons: the sensor-based small lights in the bedroom work table are annoying cause I can’t just keep it on all the time when I need them.
