Townhouse No 12

I stay here regularly. Joan is great and looks after you. Cracking location for the town centre and always spotless inside. Excellent value for money. Rooms have shared toilets, but individual showers, etc. For the price they charge, its spot on.

No toilet roll bath robs non isticiton it cos me 15 pound in taxi fair for toilet roll for ppl staying. One plug not good cost me a fortune. At least 20 quid for loo roll at Taxi. 10 pound taxi 5 for rollin for toilet

I was visiting Huddersfield for a guest talk and the university booked this place for me via an external website. The email confirmation did not actually specify that after 6pm, there is literally NO WAY TO GET IN - you have to call them AHEAD OF TIME to arrange access. When I arrived at 8pm, there was nobody at reception, the place was dark and locked up and the mobile listed on the door went straight to voicemail (bizarre - would you switch off your phone and go to sleep at 8pm if you knew you had someone who booked to stay?). I left my name and number as requested, but alas, no reply. Like, ever. The sign on the door also said that we are not to bang on the door, which would indicate that this happens on a regular basis. Who knows what it's like inside? Maybe there are other rules in addition to the arrival curfew - lights out at 8pm? Group calisthenics and cold showers at 5am? Or perhaps shared different-coloured towels for different body parts, like in The League of Gentlemen? I guess I'll never know - after waiting in the cold drizzle outside for a while, I trundled off with my suitcase through the dark streets of a city I don't know to look for another hotel. Premier Inn next time.

The pictures make the place look lovely when it is lit up. In reality, it badly needs some TLC. I now understand why a £50 deposit is requested. Lovely big clean room, with comfy bed, bathrobes, coffee making facilities, and a shower and sink. Unfortunately, our shower did not work due to know water? The commual bathroom was clean, but there was no hit water for a shower. Thankfully, it was a working weekend and not a social one.

Room was clean enough, but I didn't like idea of no bathroom in room at all. Parking too far from property didn't feel safe walking at night. Very noise about 03:00

Lovely large old-fashioned rooms, for which you'd normally pay a premium price for a suite. Comfortable mattress, and wonderfully fluffy soft pillows in place of the concrete blocks so often served nowadays. Less than 10 minutes walk from the rail station and only about 45 minutes from York. Excellent value for money, can be half the price of York hotels especially on race days and half term. Cheap municipal car park adjacent. Quiet street. Not en suite but only six rooms, so not much competition for the bathroom - which also had a lovely big bath. (as appreciated by us oldies) Wetherspons (8 min walk) serves food from 8am to 10pm, but you're close to the town centre with no shortage of other places to eat. Plenty of Pennine scenery on the doorstep. But do remember you're not paying for 3-star hotel facilities.

Stayed here for a couple weeks whilst working away from hone. The room was very spacious and immaculate. Facilities were clean also. Will be staying here again when working in the area. Would definitely recommend.

When we visit Huddersfield we find that number 12 is always cheapest and Joan the manager is quick & helpful. Never had a bad experience and we have used number 12 a dozen or so times. It’s close to the town centre and all that offers and 5 minutes from the train station. Will definitely be back soon.

If you’re looking for a quick and easy stay in Huddersfield this is an excellent and affordable location. Joan was extremely helpful and effective with communication. Room was to a great hygiene standard.
