It's finally Friday!


Ooooo blimey it's chilly this morning... and with snow forecast for the weekend... what a better way to keep warm than with a spot of brain exercise?

Yesterday we launched this week's Treasure Hunt with the fabulous prize of a night on us in Roomzzz Leeds City West!

109 superb apartments near to Leeds city centre individually designed to provide you with everything you need to relax, in complete comfort. Go for one of our Smart studios, or choose a more spacious Grande studio. Whichever you choose, we're sure you'll feel right at home. 

Elland Road Stadium, Leeds Bradford International Airport, M1 and M62 are all within easy reach, and the vibrant Leeds city centre is only 15 minutes walk away. There's plethora of things to do and see during your stay here. It's also the ideal place to stay if you need to be close to Leeds General Infirmary (LGI), Leeds University, Leeds Met and Parklane College.

Pantry full of living essentials like toiletries, milk and ready meals is available in Reception. Whatever you do, the convenience doesn't just stop there.

Which roomzzz to choose...?

We've thought carefully about every aspect of our Smart studios to create a thoroughly practical but at the same time, extremely stylish space. There's everything you need - an open-plan kitchen and living area, a pristine shower room and a comfy double bed. And you'll love the intelligent features, like the well laid out kitchenette, and the ingenious table doubling as a workstation or a breakfast bar. So, if you're thinking compact and clever, think Smart.

From the large open-plan layout of the living area, to the sumptuous memory foam bed, everything about the Grande Studio has been carefully arranged to maximise your comfort. 

Taking in the city views (limited apartments only) from your breakfast table, chilling out with a cup of tea on your luxurious leather sofa, or cooking up a classic in the designer kitchen, you'll find the whole Grande experience altogether upscale.

So now you have the last part of the puzzle... post your answer onto our Facebook page before 3pm for either Leeds or Manchester with the words "I am a Roomzzz Treasure Hunter and my answer is...."

Good luck Roomzzz Treasure Hunters.... and happy detecting!

Very pleased with my stay!


“Very pleased with my stay” - is what Lucy C from Sheffield wrote following her stay with us at our city centre hotel in Manchester....


Reviewed 29 January 2012

I booked the Liberty Suite for myself and my husband over a weekend in manchester. The room was large and had a great street view of Chinatown (nice big windows so didn't feel hemmed in). Good attention to detail and all the facilities you need for self catering. The shower room was also a good size with a nice big rain shower. There was a massive TV at the end of our bed so we could be ultra lazy!! I chose the Liberty room because of the dining table which made a difference if you want to dine in.
 
The Mac computer was a really good extra.
 
The location was great, very close to the city centre - about 10min walk from Picadilly station. The grab and go breakfast is at reception and you can grab & take it back to your room!
 
I forgot to take my earplugs with me but actually there wasn't much noise at all!

The only slight gripes I had was the room took a while to heat up and being january I did feel a bit cold when I first arrived - it took a good 2 hours before it felt warm. It would have been nice to have a heated towel rail in the bathroom, & lighting suitable for applying make up (!!). But really these are minor gripes and didn't affect my stay.

Overall I would say if you want luxury accommodation in manchester and you like the freedom of self catering this is a good value option. I would stay here again.
 
Room Tip: room 207 is a corner street view room with lots of windows so good view.

As we are giving away a prize of a fantastic night in our city centre hotel in Leeds we thought we'd share some of our favourite places in the region with you... so we did a poll and without rival was The Yorkshire Sculpture Park!

The only one of its kind, Yorkshire Sculpture Park is an international centre for modern and contemporary art, experienced and enjoyed by thousands of visitors every year.

Explore open-air displays by some of the world’s finest artists, enjoy fascinating exhibitions throughout four stunning galleries, be inspired by the natural beauty of an historic estate, and get involved in a dynamic line up of events and activities.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park is a pioneering place that aims to challenge, inspire, inform and delight, welcoming over 300,000 visitors, including 40,000 learning visits each year.

"Probably the finest exhibition site for sculpture in the world." Bill Packer, Financial Times

"In my experience, you get things from visiting these 500 acres of rolling rural north that are rarely available at other art locations." Waldemar Januszczak, The Sunday Times

"A great way to combine culture, exercise and fresh air for all the family." The People 

So why not join our Treasure Hunt? You could win the prize of a night in our Leeds City Centre hotel and whilst you spend your evening in the lap of luxury with us - you could fill your day with an inspiring trip to Yorkshire Sculpture Park!
