The hotel is situated next to Forster Square Railway Station, providing guests with the opportunity to be in Leeds city centre within 25 minutes, or the famous Saltaire Heritage Site in 14 minutes. It also has free onsite parking in which was once the city’s railway station, and the original Victorian walkway, linking the hotel to the platform, can still be used today.
