A happy return.
Pros:

Great location for De Montfort university and shopping/eating.
Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Sadly the lift was not working and I had to walk up three levels of stairs to the reception on third floor with heavy baggage. However I was allocated a room on the first floor so I didn't have to do that again.

Felt unsafe. Place not properly manned and very very poor service
Pros:

The property elevator wasn’t working - had to climb 5 flights stairs with suitcases to reception

The hotel was tired and door left open all night

The hotel was unmanned. A mobile number provided but didn’t answer the phone. I think all night it was left unattended and for thst reason I didn’t feel safe with doors open and no management of who was entering or exiting. The WiFi didn’t work
Shower was flooding the floor
On check out not a sold there and the property left unmanned again at 9am in the morning
No coffee bar or anything. This is not a 4 star property
Absolutely not

Cons:

Pls refer to the above

will not book again.
Pros:

The hotel itself has no breakfast, but I had breakfast in a little sandwich shop next to the hotel, which was quite alright.

Cons:

Mould in the shower and the smell of cold cigarette smoke in the bathroom. Also, the waste paper basket had not been emptied and had waste from the previous guest. The TV didn’t work, and everything looked pretty shabby. The elevator didn't work, and check-in was on the third floor. But the receptionist was quite kind.

Very rough unsafe area at all times of day with un secure doors. Feared for my safety
Pros:

There was no breakfast option. The bed was comfortable

Cons:

The front door was often open. The immediate area had many people about that were clearly on drugs. The lift broke and the only other way in was up 2 flights of stairs again with the security door open and unlocked.

The air conditioning unit was poor for flow and very dirty and dusty not to mention the remote barley worked... the tv unit had no channel and required me to use my own accounts via sign in which I refuse to do in strange areas.
