Seamless Dinner Experience

“I attended a family dinner at the River Room, and I can't praise the dining experience enough. The staff executed everything flawlessly, bringing out 15 perfectly cooked steaks, all served within a matter of minutes. The vegetarian options were equally impressive, so everyone felt well-fed. The very nice quality of the food and the recommended wine selections completed a nice evening.” view full review

I had a mixed experience during my stay at 42 The Calls Hotel. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the city center and right by the river, which provided lovely views. However, the service was inconsistent, with one staff member being unfriendly, and the rooms were a bit dated and in need of maintenance. Overall, I appreciated the charm of the hotel, but some aspects could definitely use improvement.

I didn't try breakfast, but I heard it had a good selection. I did notice that there was a lack of drinks available, and no chilled water was offered, which was a bit of a letdown.

I recently stayed at 42 The Calls Hotel for a Saturday night, and while the modern decor and spacious luxury double room impressed me, the noise from nearby nightlife was disruptive. The staff were friendly and accommodating, adding a personal touch to my experience. Despite the noise, I felt the hotel's fantastic location near the train station and local attractions made up for some of the downsides. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to return, but earplugs might be a must for light sleepers. 😄

I recently stayed at 42 The Calls for a family celebration, and while the location by the river was lovely, my experience was marred by a hidden charge of £50 that I was not informed about. The staff was generally friendly, and the space felt inviting, but the noisy nights impacted my sleep. Overall, I appreciate the unique charm of the hotel, but the surprise charge left a sour note in my stay.

Rooms

The room was spacious, but it felt outdated and lacked modern touches. The cleanliness was also an issue, as I found standing urine in the toilet upon arrival. Although I enjoyed the unique decor of the hotel, it could definitely use some refurbishment.

Service

The staff members were attentive and friendly during my stay, which made a positive difference. However, my interaction regarding the hidden charge was frustrating, especially since I had expected it to be canceled at check-out. It required some persistence to resolve this issue, which dampened my experience a bit.

The breakfast was quite good, with a decent selection, although it was cooked to order, meaning it took a little longer than I expected. I also appreciated the option for room service, but I would have liked more clarity on the menu options before placing my order.

My stay at 42 The Calls Hotel was a mixed bag. The building is charming and has a lot of character, but unfortunately, it feels a bit neglected overall. The location by the river is great, providing easy access to the city, yet the service I received wasn't very engaging. There's definitely potential for improvement, especially with some renovations.

Rooms

The hotel has some interesting amenities like the honesty bar and room service for breakfast that's delivered through a hatch, which was quite cool. However, the overall facilities felt like they could use some updating to meet modern standards.

My stay at 42 The Calls had its highs and lows. The location is fantastic, nestled by the canal and just a short walk from Leeds' train station. However, the room felt quite dated and not as clean as I had hoped, which dimmed the experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, but I believe the hotel would greatly benefit from some renovations.

Rooms

The junior suite was large, but felt outdated and lacked cleanliness. I was disappointed with the condition of the pillows and the limited amenities, such as only having two mugs for three guests. Although spacious, it didn't feel as comfortable due to its decor and lack of modern touches.

Service

I found the staff to be polite and accommodating, which made the stay more pleasant. However, the overall service did not align with the expectations I had for this level of boutique hotel, though the team made efforts to assist where they could.

Location

The location was one of the hotel’s strong points, being close to city center attractions and dining options, offering a quiet atmosphere despite its proximity to the bustling nightlife of Leeds.

Dining

Breakfast had some nice options, although I found the price a bit steep. It was a pleasant enough experience, but I expected more gourmet offerings for the cost.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities were decent but could use some upgrades. While the honesty bar was a nice touch, the absence of a refrigerator in the suite was disappointing. The common areas were not bad, creating a decent first impression, but overall the hotel should enhance its maintenance.
