Best Lofthouse Hotels

I travel to Wakefield for business 2/3 nights a week & I stayed here after a disastrous stay at Citylodge hotel, which I would steer clear from for eternity. So Limes Lodge seemed like a castle in comparison - I liked the historic building, the bed was comfortable, the room clean, good transport links & the area felt space although not close to town, but walkable. I paid £65/night. A few glitches - the noise from the M62 is very considerable if you like to keep your windows open at night, so I had to close them to be able to sleep. The bathroom was chilly one of the mornings, and I couldn't see any way to activate the radiator. When you check-out, you leave the keys in an open basket by reception - so anyone could take it & mess up the room, which you could then be blamed for later - this didn't happen, but it does seem like they need to change the way people check out. The fire alarm sounded early in the morning on my second night & the fire brigade attended and was apparently caused by a known problem with a fire door, so clearly an ongoing maintenance issue that ruined everyone's sleep. I would stay here again but be mindful of the above.

Have stayed here 4 times in the last couple of years. Price paid is good value for setting, location, spa facilities but the rooms are definitely looking tired. Was upgraded once and there was a huge difference in the general cleanliness and decor of the room. General house and communal areas are stunning and grand but rooms under any ‘deals’ are quite basic and are very far from the reception and facilities so not so good if mobility could be an issue. Overall it ticks a lot of boxes for a familiar and convenient one night stay.

Stayed for two nights whilst visiting the Leeds area. The hotel is showing it’s age a little but our room was cosy and clean and overlooking the rear of the hotel so nice and quiet. Dining options are somewhat less than central Leeds but there is a Toby Carvery on site and a lovely pub - The New Mason Arms - selling a range of bar meals at reasonable prices just five minutes walk away. Unlike central Leeds, parking is free and there are frequent buses into the City Centre and taking just 20 minutes. The inclusive breakfast was both varied and plentiful. A great alternative to central Leeds for leisure travellers.

Positive experience, good stuff nice decoration goodbye for money good location not really anything bad to say highly recommended

The pub and the room themselves are lovely.  We were served by a man behind the bar who greeted us with ‘what’s the name?’ He then couldn’t find the booking as he didn’t have the correct apps from which we booked through…continued to say we wasn’t booked even though proof of booking was given.  His approach changed as soon as he realised he was in the wrong, showed us to the room where we found it wasn’t what I had payed for. I booked a king size bed with two singles, was given a room with just two singles. The bathroom had hairs everywhere and hardly any toilet roll. Obviously hadn’t been cleaned and replenished. When we returned back to the room later on in the evening the room was extremely warm, tried to adjust the heating where we discovered it was only able to be changed by the bar downstairs. The bar closed at 10pm to which afterwards there was no staff on the premises. Either be too hot or open the window and have the loud noises from a main road. Couldn’t win either way.  As mentioned very nicely decorated rooms but issues throughout.

A good hotel at the centre of the town, easily accessible. Wheelchair access present. Very easy checkin process. The rooms are excellent, clean and comfortable. A small tv with good channel selection. The bathroom is clean and good. Overall a very good stay.

My family and I stayed in all 5 x rooms for 2 x nights in August 2024 for a wedding nearby. The rooms had beautiful decor and I was very pleased to see an iron & ironing board, hairdryer, hangers, heater and a decent coffee machine & kettle! The beds were comfy and we had plenty of space and storage. I loved the little courtyard area and it was great for taking photos for the wedding next to the lovely lavender bush! We couldn’t hear any noise from the outside area or any of the rooms either side which was a bonus! Although we didn’t eat in the evenings, we all enjoyed breakfast each morning with plenty of choice for adults & children. It was also great to see a range of good coffee & pastries! Finally, the staff were so friendly and made all of us feel very welcome after all of our journeys!
