Any recommendations?
City Inn
The metropolitan is very lush and expensive if you turn up at the desk on the day, but if you book in advance and go at a weekend it's pretty cheap.
I had a memorable weekend with a lady who is now my wife there a few years ago.
Try late rooms or one of the similar websites.
There's an Etap, just outside my window. 3 mins from the centre, 2 mins from the bus station, has parking and Resonable rates/accomodation.
If you're going on the weekend ask at the Radisson for their weekend rates. It has THE best location in the city, but is more expensive.
[EDIT] Stay at the Malmaison if you want [i]plush[/i]
for short work stays
in leeds central one, you can get a mini apartment online from £50 a night, comes with plates, cultery, microwave etc etc
they have nicer/more expensive apartments plus one in leeds city...
very good
Malmaison, decent hotel, nice bar.
Re rootes1's recommendation, roomzzz have a city centre apartment on offer at the moment for two night stays (excepting next weekend):

Bewleys, near the centre but not too expensive
IBIS £44 per night if you book on web, has a bar and a restaurant that is ok. I spend half my life in that place
quick heads up.............are you bringing a bike with you.
fancy a guided spin route the delights of south leeds.
City Inn is better than bewleys and cheaper than Malmaison. I stay in Leeds a lot with work!
The bar at the top of city is pretty cool too on a nice night - not cheap though.
are you bringing a bike with you.
Nope, will be a flying visit unfortunately. Might be back at some point with a bike though, and will take up the offer.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far, will get around to booking something tomorrow
I second Bewley's - travelodge prices but much a much nicer type of place altogether.
