Pros:

This is a comfortable place to stay closed to the city centre yet in a quiet and tranquil location. It is due to close and will be a great loss. We have stayed many times and will miss it enormously. Many thanks to the staff for their care and attention over the years.

Pros:

Friendly hotel and conference centre that clearly was a stunner in it's heyday, but now is clearly being run down for closure. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. Breakfast was a continental with good pastries and coffee, just a shame that there was no cooked option and the hours served (despite being a weekend) were short at 0730-0900. Beds were comfortable, room was a good temperature, shower was excellent. Kettle, tea, coffee, biscuits provided. Despite room notice stating that there would be a housekeeping service for stays of more than one night, that didn't happen. No evening catering. The local pub recommended on the hotel website didn't seem to take bookings after 1730 and was extremely busy. Other places to eat within walking distance seemed to be in very short supply, so we gave up and drove to Fosse Park to eat on both evenings.

Adequate room but shortfalls in staying here
Pros:

The room was adequate, though the bed was quite small, and not the comfiest. Breakfast just seems too early to end at 9am on a Sunday too, and there is no hot breakfast sadly. My son in the adjoining room decided to skip breakfast but was woken by housekeeping at 9.10am for some reason. Tee staff re however, very helpful and friendly

Pros:

Quiet setting in smart area. Well appointed rooms with quality furniture, fittings and comfortable beds. Helpful reception staff. Mostly very good in all respects. A telephone contact number that is answered would help. I tried several times in vain during the course of a day. Breakfast included should have pointed out cold buffet with no cooked foods. But nothing here to prevent me booking again, the pluses outweighing the negatives.

Pros:

The staff were kind, polite, professional, and accommodating. The lady who checked me in the evening was especially professional. The room was immaculate, and I appreciated that they clean it every day, unlike many other hotels these days. Breakfast was good as well. The only minor issue I encountered was that the flush wasn't working properly, but I believe that was just an isolated case.

Pleasantly surprised
Pros:

I stayed in this hotel recently as I was on a few night shifts and live quite a distance from work and often find a hotel to stay in if i'm on nights or if I am on training days.

I was pleasantly surprised! I was placed in the furthest building which wasn't too far of a walk from the car park, the room was clean, spacious and had everything you need! The hotel was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. They service your room every day and I had left a note asking them not to come in to service as I was on nights and sleeping, the housekeepers fully respected that and left me to sleep.

The only things to mention is I feel breakfast times do not take into account people that may have to leave early for work as it is only served from 7.30-9. It would be better from 6.30 maybe? When I am on 8-4 for training days, this would be an issue if I was to stay here.

The bed was quite hard and the toilet does not flush well at all even after following the directions on the sign...but I will definitely stay here again!

Ideal for Men
Pros:

Designed by men for men l. this hotel is cheap at the weekend and close to the Leicester Uni accommodation.
It used to be uni halls itself and has been reworked as a budget option. With a range of separate buildings a distance from reception
However
As a solo female traveller with a single booking and a female name I was put in the furthest building from reception and the car parking facilities 2 flights up at the end of a corridor.
This lacks thought. I was honestly concerned for my safety.
The room is also not designed with female travellers in mind having no mirror above the desk/dressing table and no chair near the mirror to dry your hair or do make up
Shampoo is available no conditioner
It’s 2025 they should be doing a lot better
