Hotel review : Quebecs Boutique Hotel Leeds
So i thought i would do another quick review here at Cheap Hotels Leeds as its been more than a month since my last and im hoping to get more regular with these reviews over time. One thing i do want to look at is hotels slightly different from the norm. For a long time it has been that if you wanted to go cheap then you really couldn’t expect too much in terms of the uniqueness of the accommodation as the really special Hotels are usually thought of as really expensive 5 star variety. So it was a bit of a shock when i saw the prices for the Quebecs Boutique right in the centre of Leeds city. The first thing that needs to be mentioned is that this is a 4 star attested hotel, now this may put many off as they are expecting some really high prices to go with the luxury. However a Superior Double Room which sleeps two is around £70 per night which is really good for a hotel of this standard.

As you can see from the photos the Quebecs Boutique successfully blends its Victorian architecture and furnishings with a modern feel which i can confirm is no mean feat. I suppose what you are really buying into is the unique feel of a place like this. It really doesn’t look like a hotel and i can say that that is no bad thing. The attention to detail in the fixtures and fittings is really something and while it does have this late victorian style its still a modern functioning hotel with all the amenities you can expect like TV and in room broadband which is a must for almost everyone now especially business travellers.
The hotels central location is also good with the Leeds-Bradford airport only half an hour away and have i mentioned that its right in the heart of Leeds city centre? I think the main way to look at this budget hotel is that it really is something different and in the discount area of the accommodation market that really is something quite rare. Ive also noticed just how much prices for places hotels like this have been reduced by over the past year. I think that many hotels have had to shift as far as their target market has been concerned in order to still stay in business. However this is good news for people like you and me as it allows us to stay somewhere really special for a fraction of the price. Im not joking when i say that somewhere like this would be at least 50% more expensive even just a year ago.

As ever i think it pays to look around and this is especially true of hotels in the upper region of the star ratings system. Remember though to check who the hotel is rated by (Visit Britain is usually reliable).
