Perfect for a weekend city centre break if your looking for a touch of quality and comfort. Close to the town centre with friendly staff and parking available on request. Recommended.

The hotel is well furnished and tastefully decorated. The room was well equipped and nicely kept, though the extractor fan in the bathroom continued to run all night which was a little annoying.

The breakfast could have been better, the fresh fruit was nice (apart from the melon which was under-ripe) but the way it was presented made it difficult to cut up - partly because of the style of bowls and plates provided. An order of scrambled eggs on toast looked a little miserly sat in the middle of a large plate.

It had been our intention to have dinner there on the Sunday night but only when I enquired about the menu late in the afternoon was I told the restaurant wouldn't be open that night. There had been no advance notice of this, and if I hadn't asked the question we wouldn't have known until we turned up to eat.

Having said this I would go back to the New Ellington, mainly because of its central location and the lovely interior design.

Check in was fine, the girl on the desk really nice, friendly and professional even tho the computers were down and it took a little longer than usual. Bathroom was slightly dirty but to be fair was cleaned immediately after we called reception. The room was lovely clean and spacious. We were disappointed not to be able to have a cocktail as 'someone didnt order the fruit!' on the previous day. All in all pretty good hotel but not spectacular.

On the occasion of our son's Wedding, key guests were flown in to Leeds from Bermuda. It was essential that we found a hotel that was more like the 5 star hotels to be found abroad and less like the traditional tired 5 star hotels that , for some reason, we have to put with in the UK.
The New Ellington ticked every Box in its pre-publicity and then double ticked the very same boxes in reality. I would not hesitate to recommend this most atmospheric venue to anyone used to luxury and comfort. It was also very interesting to note how many other guests , staying at other hotels in Leeds, gravitated towards the New Ellington and asked why they hadn't been told about it. A great experience on one of the moment important days in our families history
