42 The Calls  

Location and comfort.quirky layout.

Payment.was told couldn.t pay with cash unless I left a deposit, even though my credit card was pre autherised.i had to go to a cash machine for some more cash. The excuse was because it was a debit card the bank would keep my money for two weeks. This I havn.t heard of this before. Always paid cash.inconvenience for me.

I found the staff to be extremely polite and helpful, and the comfort and luxery of the room was superb. I would have no hesitation in reccomending to my freinds (and have done so several times), and look forward to stopping there again.

Location, design and staff

Very noisy at night from the street we had a room on the front.Also room very hot at night.

Excellent collection of art along corridors and in rooms. Good interior design and fantastic riverside view from restaurant. Clever use of mirrors. Very friendly staff. Brilliant breakfast.

Rather hot in the sitting/bar area.

Ive now stayed at 42 the calls a number of times and find the location, the feel and comfort of the hotel all to be excellent. A place I will visit for my relaxing breaks time and time again.

comfortable room

I liked being able to look out onto the river. Being offered a glass of wine on arrival was a nice touch. Also the little boxes of Smarties left on the bed.

The rooms contained no sound proofing which meant that there was noise at night both outside the building and in the corridors. The plug hole in the basin in the bathroom was partially blocked, on further investigation, I found it was clogged with other people's hair! The caddie for drinks was very sparse, probably had not been replenished. I expected more for the money.

Consistently, friendly and helpful reception staff and housekeeping staff. Always very obliging and very welcoming. You feel like a guest, not a customer.

During both visits to the Calls this year, we were subjected to loud tv noise from nearby rooms in our rooms; we wonderered to reception staff whether our room this recent visit was near a bar, the noise was that loud. Its unclear whether this is the result of poor sound insulation or just our bad luck to be twice accommodated near other guests who liked their in-room entertainiment really loud. In both cases, front staff intervened to resolve the situation. We mention this only becuase it happened during each of our two visits. The noise episodes strictly reduced our ratings for value and comfort.

Rooms overlooking the river are large, comfortable, quiet and with interesting outlook. Only bfeakfast is available, which is pretty good, but there are plenty of good restaurant choices nearby and the hotel keen to help you choose. Only minutes from town centre . We have made many repeat visits.

The hotel was very unique, the room was exceptionally comfortable. We were made to feel very welcome and would like to compliment one person in particular, the lovely gentleman who showed us to our room. His polite and friendly manner made our stay. We were very impressed with the lovely shortbread in our room and asked him if we were able to buy some to take home. He explained it was not available to buy but gave us a few pieces to take away with us. Please offer him our many thanks! We often visit Leeds and will not hesitate to book into 42 The Calls in the future.

The service was excellent and all the staff very accomodating and friendly. Would also recommend to book a meal next door at the Brasserie Forty4. Expensive yes, but well worth it.

Although the room was clean and tidy, it appeared not to have been vacuumed, and there were dirty marks on the carpet. This was only minor things and did not spoil our stay.

Good location, friendly staff, quiet rooms, nice breakfast

Decor looking tired. Smarties in the room ?? not v upmarket.
