Hotels in Headingley, Leeds

Headingley is where Leeds university students and the city's cricket and rugby league devotees live — a long street of Victorian terraces, independent bars, takeaways and cafés running north from Hyde Park, with Headingley Stadium (Ashes Tests and Challenge Cup finals) at the top end. Less polished than the city centre and all the more genuine for it. The bus runs direct into the city centre in 15 minutes; the train from Headingley station even faster. For travellers who want a lively, affordable base with great value food and drink, and who don't mind that the neighbourhood is built for students rather than tourists, Headingley delivers without the centre's price premium.
