Visiting Leeds? Stay with us at the Art Hostel - a unique experience offering affordable accommodation created entirely by artists.

As a social enterprise for East Street Arts, the Art Hostel helps build financial sustainability for our charity. A creative, comfortable, vibrant and fun place to stay, the Art Hostel is the perfect place to explore the very best of Leeds.

A completely unique experience, the Art Hostel offers the opportunity to sleep inside the creative imagination of artists, in the heart of Leeds. The radical space offers beds for up to 60 guests spread across twelve remarkable rooms – six bespoke private en suites for creative travellers and tourists alike, and six shared dorm rooms for backpackers or a more sociable stay.

With no two rooms the same, guests have a catalogue of artistic installations to choose from. An entire cabinet of collected snow globes, a galaxy of found footballs or a multicoloured woollen ceiling are just a few features that finish the vibrant rooms! Visitors can also relax in the eclectic lounge, enjoy a complimentary light breakfast in the colourful kitchen, or join the weekly ‘Tuesday Tea’ for a delicious evening meal cooked by one of the Art Hostels volunteers or visiting artists.
