Perfect Night Away
Pros:

Incredible stay from start to finish! The staff were warm and welcoming, and a room upgrade made our night away truly unforgettable. The room was surprisingly quiet and peaceful for a city-center location. Breakfast offered a fantastic selection with plenty of great vegetarian options, and the parking was well-signposted and hassle-free. We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning!

Graduation stay
Pros:

Lovely rooms with comfortable beds.
Great food and helpful staff.
One of the few hotels in Leicester where you can park your car overnight.

Cons:

Would be even better if the car park was adapted to remove the metal frame and improve access to additional parking spaces...remove the pot holes etc

Overall a good experience
Pros:

Staff were excellent really helpful we were about a 15 minute walk from everything. Breakfast was great plenty of choice and freshly cooked. Rooms were spacious

Cons:

Service lift was the only lift working very old and small. The pillows were of poor quality and prevented my son from getting a good nights sleep.

If the mattress could be changed, it would be an excellent place to stay.
Pros:

The location is perfect at the start of the pedestrian walk into the centre. The room was very nice and clean and the breakfast excellent. There were lots of spaces to meet friends and hold meetings with refreshments.

Cons:

The one thing that wasn't good was that the mattress was old and very lumpy and hurt my back. I ended up sleeping at the very edge of the bed as I couldn't find a flat bit to lie on.

A very enjoyable and quiet stay in the centre of Leicester
Pros:

I very much liked the atmosphere of the hotel. Everything was spotlessly clean, the large bed was very comfortable and the staff were extremely friendly. My room, located in a kind of courtyard far away from the road, was perfectly quiet. The location, very close to the main train station and within easy walking distance, was ideal.

Cons:

There wasn't anything not to like.

Pros:

Fantastic breakfast. Great staff. Lovely & clean. Right next to New Walk.

Cons:

It's a narrow corridor and a tight turn into my room in a wheelchair but manageable. Once inside it was a small step into the shower but I was advised of these in advance.

It was good value, the staff were very friendly, it’s due a decor update.
Pros:

Very central, especially good for the station and park. Nice common areas by the restaurant

Cons:

Rather old fashioned decor in the room, a little dark and heavy feeling.
