Very nice place comfy bed
Michelle, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value for money

The room had everything I needed & was pretty clean. En-suite shower (no bath but I prefer a shower anyway), sink & toilet were clean & in good condition. Kettle with coffee& tea options were fine & the TV had the usual free digital channels. I've paid a lot more for poorer rooms.

6/10 Good

Budget room very close to the city centre

Excellent location being only a ten minute walk into the city centre. A very reasonable price too and friendly staff on check in with good communication before we arrived. The only two down sides were that the matresses were not comfortable at all and were two single beds pushed together to make a double. Also, the room was quite light (for us) at night because of the type of blind. Those two things feel quite easy to fix though and other than those issues, it suited us well.

Incredibly reasonably priced stay on Easter weekend, can’t fault it, really good value

Obinna, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The building was a derilic shop, not appealing at all. So many stairs to climb to get to rooms. The room had a smell to it, the bed was 2 old single mattress put on a base to make a double bed up, they were past being used. Only one mirror in the bathroom. Never again will I stay.

Just basic but very nice clean and everything we needed was there.
Elaine, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

First impression was the hotel clean and tidy. My friend and I choose twin room option. I personally didnt get much sleep due to the mattress, there was no support, and the springs were pertruding, making it a very nosiy and uncomfortable night.
Kerry, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Location wrong. No sleep. Dangerous shower.

Warning, its not where the Hotels.com map says it is. I booked expecting it to be near the theatre but its the far side of Leicester. Very cheap mattress so poor sleep. Tiny room with very basic facilities, despite charging as much as the nicer larger chains. Shower stuck on boiling so had to wash hai using a glass over the tiny sink which is barely big enough to wash you hands. Deeply unpleasant experience.
Lizzie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a comfortable place to stay
Stephen, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Small clean room, area not so great

For the price it is okay but it is a walk from the city centre and feels like it is in a rough area. Have to call to be let in and don’t agree with having to provide photo ID as this isn’t required in the UK Suspect the property is primarily used by the council to house immigrants or homeless as the info leaflet says they’ll let local authorities know if you get kicked out for any reason. Room was surprisingly clean but small, mattress was thin and could feel the springs. When I arrived I didn’t think I would actually stay but it was clean enough and the inside is much better than the outside.

Bruno, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The area seemed relatively rough for a hotel to be centered within, not really any choices for food, mostly take away, no cafes near by except a bagel place, bathroom had an odd smell, and the room was cramped for the price. Tv remote button for cycling through was dodgey, bed lights didn’t work, bed was alright and the staff were friendly but I never really saw anyone no one was really about I read it had a bar and restaurant but I could only find rooms.

6/10 Good

It’s alright for one night ,don’t think we would have stayed there more than that
Mohan, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Fine for one night

Positives: the reception man was nice and the location was very easy to get to. Negatives: the room smelled bad, there was mould in the bathroom, and one of my pillows had mascara on. Additionally, the room was very cold, and the bed was not comfortable. Unfortunately the people in the room next door were very loud and woke me up at 5am- obviously not the fault of the hotel itself but another reason for a restless night. I don’t think I would stay again.
Molly, 1-night trip

Very excellent stay, upscaled my room free of charge too big thanks to the receptionist for that, highly recommend the likes of this place over a chain
Sophie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Advertised as a 3-star hotel it is in fact a very basic B&B over a shop. Stair carpet is threadbare and the the whole atmosphere is very rundown. I usually stay at the Premier Inn which is slightly less expensive and of a considerably higher standard
