History

Storm Jameson Court was opened in 2010 and was built to a very high specification, with students of the future in mind, as well as conference delegates and short break guests. This high-quality residence is named after Margaret Storm Jameson, an alumnus of the University who went on to write more than 45 books.

One of the main criteria was to produce a highly accessible building. Again, this supports the University's accessible aims to offer university education to everyone equally. But it is also placed in Leeds a unique building, with 20 accessible bedrooms, which would appeal to any individuals or groups, who normally have to make do with unadapted, standard hotel bedrooms.

Food & beverage

The bedrooms are sold on a room-only basis (equipped with tea and coffee-making facilities), but a wide range of self-serve breakfast fare is available for purchase from the University Refectory, just 100 metres from Storm Jameson Court.

Guests have access to fridges in the adjacent kitchens but please note, that cooking is not possible.

Grounds & Gardens

Storm Jameson Court is one of a group of buildings forming Charles Morris Hall. It is sited on the attractive and historic campus of the University of Leeds in a very attractive area alongside tree-lined Victorian and Edwardian streets. The campus has many fine buildings, from the wonderful Victorian Great Hall, designed by Alfred Waterhouse, and the art deco Parkinson Building to the contemporary Marjorie and Arnold Ziff Building.

The grounds of the University are open for guests to stroll around and enjoy tree-fringed piazzas and avenues, or to relax by the fountains at the southern end of the campus by the Roger Stevens Building.

The University campus has many fully accessible routes to all areas, with ramps and automatic or electric doors to buildings.

Extremely pleased with the room...better than some named hotels and because it was out of term, the campus was extremely quiet Can't give a full 5 for facilities as the refectory was closed but there is an onsite Co-op Reception staff were really friendly/helpful and check-in/out very easy The accommodation is about 20-25 mins walk from the train station and several buses frequent the main road about 5 mins away Excellent value for money

Storm Jameson Court was spotlessly clean, centrally located, and had ample storage and workspace in the room. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. This building uses a card key system to ensure security at all times, including the main entry door, hallway door, room door, and shared kitchen/laundry door. The shared amenities were convenient and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This was a cracking find in Leeds & perfect location as I was going to a gig literally round the corner in the Refectory. Outstanding value & very clean. I’d like to particularly praise the young man on duty who directed me to the reception & sorted my room allocation. When I’m back in Leeds again I’d stay another time. Thanks

The room was clean and perfectly adequate and the staff were friendly and helpful. My only thoughts were the room would benefit from a TV and a small amount of cutlery and crockery sufficient for 1 person. I purchased food from the onsite co-op to cook in the kitchen microwave but had nothing to eat with.

I can see why these rooms are so highly rated! I'd certainly look at staying at Storm Jameson Court, Leeds again if I was in the area! Very clean fresh smelling rooms, very comfortable bed, great shower, friendly and helpful staff, thanks so much!

The reception team was excellent. The room was clean and warm. The bed was comfortable enough. The shower had good pressure but the temperature can be raised a bit. The only problem I had was the noise of the students at night.

Very comfortable and clean. Bit tricky to find on foot if you haven't been before, But really good value for money.
