A different stay in Leicester
Unusual setup and the check-in procedure was slightly confusing when I received it, but the room was spacious and comfortable and so was the bathroom. Location was excellent.

The room was great, comfortable and clean but unfortunately the sash windows are loose so were rattling loudly throughout the night so I couldn't get any sleep.
I contacted the hotel to see if anything could be done to compensate but was told that because it's a grade 2 building it's a characteristic of the accommodation.
What I would suggest is putting some wooden wedges around the window frame to eliminate the movement.
If it wasn't from the noisy windows preventing me from getting to sleep I'd give this hotel 5 stars.

Too much noise during the night
The room is big as well as the bathroom. Free parking onsite was a bonus. What I really don’t like is below our window they loaded after a party in the hotel, a van until 2am which made us not being able to sleep. This should not be allowed by the hotel.

Really spacious room, comes with many amenities. Private gated parking is a bit tight, but no issue there at all. Needed help with entering the hotel, but called staff and sorted it within seconds. Would definitely recommend 🙏

Fantastic value for money
Wonderful stay. The room was as advertised; perfectly clean and tidy, short distance from the station, easy to locate keys for access.
We were not expecting such a high standard for the low price, we would have liked to stay longer!

Gorgeous location in the heart of Leicester's city centre. I have been away on a business trip and am very pleased with my stay at the City Rooms. If I am ever in the area, I am definitely booking in again! Thank you.

A Room in the City
Amazing stay at The City Rooms.
This hotel is centrally located and fabulous if you're looking to stay in Leicester city centre. There is free parking available, which we used, and it really couldn't have been easier.
The room is absolutely huge, shame it didn't have a super king size bed, this is what I'm used to at home, as there is ample space to accommodate one.
The bathroom was massive and very clean. It was beautiful to wake up to sunshine coming through the sash windows.
Will definitely stay again 💯❤️

The property was lovely. The room was very spacious including the bathroom. The bath was amazing!
The only issue was that the tv signal was very bad, even on the apps. It was reported to staff who said that maintenance would call but no-one came to fix it! Could possibly do with a new mattress as the right side was dipped. Apart from that it was a lovely place.

Clean, central location, spacious but cold
Old building, spacious rooms, very cold in winter and during frost, heating not enough, otherwise clean sheets and room, self checkin, parking available in city center with secured gates, overall good stay, I would consider it again bit not during winter!

Excellent stay so much room. Clean, warm and comfortable. Didn’t like the 3 floors of narrow stairs! Maybe another chair in the room would be good

Clean, basic accommodation
The room was nice and clean and was pretty spacious with plenty of daylight.
The location is very central so the included parking is essential.
I'd describe this as basic accommodation as it's a wedding venue. When there is no event they let out the rooms but with no staff on site or any of the usual hotel facilities. Entry instructions are emailed the day before your stay - beware Google mail send this to spam.
Access to the rooms is up several flights of steep stairs so unsuitable for those who struggle with this.
