👍👍 Amazing place, worked in library. The dining was fabulous, best vegan bettered only by the Allotment in Manchester. Rooms are stylish and functional. The honesty bar in the evening was welcome and allowing a total technology detox for my stay, as chat or read options primarily.

Oldham Library

😠 Great place to go if you’ve got nothing better to do. Awful place to go if you want to study. It’s the loudest library in the world with seemingly no policy on noise. If there’s not a music lesson on in the middle of study areas, there’s probably a screaming kid next to an uninterested parent. Even...

👍 People eating tuna sandwiches nearby having a loud chat really put me off and I couldn’t concentrate on my work. I asked librarian if that was allowed and was told yes, people do it from time to time! Aren’t libraries supposed to be quiet not to mention the stink from the food? Besides this, this pl...

Outside catering is acceptable making it within reach of couples on a tight budget. Very impressive ve...

😐 Quite good equipped gym spread on two floors. Bottom floor is more for men (heavy weights), top one is universal, with big cardio section, weights, machines and mattresses for stretching. They have a good selection of classes (love yoga with Lauren), sauna and swimming pool. Unfortunately there are...

👍👍 Amazing: step through a normal doorway on a busy Leeds side street and you'll enter a secret world you'll think came straight from a Harry Potter film set. But no this is real, and you can wander the stacks and meander the through room after room of historic and modern books, drinking in the atmosp...
