Headingley Stadium Hotel

I went to visit one of my children who lives in Leeds. I have fond memories of Headingley (Skyrack, Original Oak, Woodies, Salvo's), having been a postgraduate student at the University of Leeds and a lecturer at Leeds Beckett University in the late 1980s.||I booked Headingley Lodge online with www.booking.com (alert: book using the App and you may get a 10% discount over booking online on your laptop... I did!). The price was £75.66 (no breakfast). I found the hotel difficult to locate at first, despite driving up and down Michaels Lane with my SatNav repeatedly telling me "YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT YOUR DESTINATION, WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?". It is actually an integral part of Headingley Cricket Ground (I was looking for a standalone hotel). The car park is inside the stadium perimeter with a gate house (barrier controlled) and super secure (24/7 security).||The reception area is very unprepossessing. It looks like the porters' desk at a budget student accommodation block, but travel up three floors in the elevator and the rooms are Premier Inn plus: large double bed, desk+chair, two arm chairs, big flatscreen, fridge, iron and board, hair dryer and en-suite bathroom. And the view: over the pitch at Headingley Cricket Stadium, woah! I talked with the staff and the rooms are converted into 12-seat hospitality suites for test matches (if you need to ask how much, you can't afford it... I did, and I couldn't). The French window (locked) from the bedroom opens onto the top tier of the seating over the pitch. BTW: the reception staff are lovely and friendly and there are a few hotel chains that should visit to see how customer service can be personal and authentic. I'd forgotten how much I miss Yorkshire hospitality.

What a brilliant place to stay, fantastic views of the cricket ground. The rooms are big and have a small fridge too. There's no bar or restaurant, but if you just need a room, its perfect. Very reasonable price and car parking included.

This is close to Leeds Airport so you can hear the planes take off and land. The window glass gets rid of most of the noise. It has a stunning view of the cricket field and the beds were comfortable. Plenty of choice in the area for shopping and somewhere to eat. This also has free car parking but tell them in advance.

Stayed here for The Hundred match and what a fantastic find. Situated within the grounds with a reserved car park space just down the road. Lovely spacious room overlooking the pitch. Very clean and a huge bed ! Great shower and I liked the fact that the small light underneath the shelf stayed on all night in case you need the bathroom. So easy if you come to watch the cricket. We even popped back to the room between the men’s and women’s game to freshen up ( on a very hot day) well worth the money and we will definitely be back.

Lovely room overlooking the pitch. Gree parking and bus to town 5 mins away. I would definitely stay here again. In fact i already have . It

We stay here for one night after watching the Rugby. On our arrival, we were greeted by two lovely, friendly ladies on reception. Check in was swift and they even gave us excellent advise on where to eat and drink in the local area. Our room was very clean and spacious with a great view over Headingley cricket ground. Great night's sleep. Overall excellent stay with lovely staff. Will definitely return.

Second time we have stayed at the Headingley Lodge, it's in a great location , good sized rooms and comfortable beds, friendly welcoming staff, it's definitely the first place I look for when we visit Leeds, short walk to nearest pubs and you pass a chippy on way, approx £7 for an Uber into Leeds, rooms get hot but fan provided sorted that issue out.

Easy to get to, lovely and clean. Rooms a good size, fridge in the room. Free parking. Will definitely use again
