I want my money back,cause I had to come to sleep at my home
Pros:

I didn't like nothing,cause it's closed by police,due to a fire two years ago, and still active for booking on booking.
I want my money back,oyo is answering with IA, and I feel helpless

Cons:

If it was open,or someone honest could tell me what happened and give my money back in time I could book an open hotel to enjoy my stay and weekend in Leicester

Didn’t stay because it isn’t open!!!!
Pros:

It doesn’t exist!

Cons:

Turned up and the hotel had tape around it, no roof and no one had been in that place for years! Called the company, who hung up on me when I said there hotel didn’t exist! Then tried to tell me they sent a cancellation email to me 25 days ago, yet charged my card less that a week ago! Thieves and liars! Booking.com need to do their research!

Very good
Pros:

This hotel is no frills., i get the feeling it is being upgraded, the beds were new and very comfortable, the linen very white and clean. The staff were helpful and pleasant, value for money, there was no food available, but uber food deliver and there are lots of places to eat nearby. We even got a full english breakfast .. delivered .. yum. Check in /out no problem. I would stay there again

Cons:

Stairs, quite a lot of stairs, (i requested a ground floor room) the ground floor was up some steps

Not great
Pros:

We booked this hotel purely for the location. The bed was ok and pretty clean.

Cons:

Room was bizarrely laid out. Cupboards all wonky, shower didn't close. The decor and maintenance was shoddy at best.

Confort and Peaceful Stay near Victoria Park, Leicester
Pros:

I liked the property, the fact that it is located in a good area near Victoria Park in Leicester, near many restaurants and fast food, near the city, and quite place.
The staff are very helpful helping gusts their luggage and explaining about the location, or calling a Taxi.
I recommend anyone who would like to take a walk at Victoria Park and to the City. Local Transportation is marvellous across the main road.

Cons:

They need to instal fans in the bedrooms, during Summer is very hot. Still, they are renovating the Hotel to upgrade their status.
