About this place The Wrens

The Wrens is a mainstream boutique hotel on New Briggate, opposite the Leeds Grand Theatre at the north end of the city centre. It is gay-friendly, not a gay hotel. The building has a bar on the ground floor and rooms upstairs, and holds a 4.0 rating from around 400 Google reviews. The Leeds gay quarter, around Lower Briggate and Call Lane, is about ten minutes' walk south. The main station is a similar distance. Expect some street noise at weekends; ask for a quieter room if that matters.

The hotel is walking distance to the local shops, and a couple hundred metres away from the Grand Theatre. The room was clean and had a tea/ coffee making station. Very comfy bed, good sized bathroom. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Didn't get the room I paid for, the room was all black, dark cold and dingy, the lighing was horrendous, the floor was black and dirty, a cupboard which I thought was for clothes was absolutely disgusting, no view battered lamp, shower leaked, athe only thing good was comfy bed and hot water and location. Didn't understand why I got this room as it was never showed on your booking.Com website. I would never of booked. WiFi crap, view was blocked by a small frosted window , room was right next door to fire exit people had to use to get out and the noise of that door was unreal. Very disappointed. Would definitely recommend people ask exactly what room your getting before bookings. Don't know how to update pictures
