Fantastic hotel, with all it's history lovingly and sympathetically included in its design. The staff were brilliant- friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond for my partners Birthday, which was the reason for our stay. The room was spotless, well laid out, and the amenities were of a high standard. If we ever visit Leicester again, this would be my first choice of hotel.

Room was clean, newly refurbished and very nicely furnished and decorated, as was the rest of the hotel. The food was excellent and the bar service was great. The hotel had not long reopened after refurbishment, so there were a few teething problems during my stay, but the staff were friendly, helpful and resolved everything quickly. I had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay.

The staff were truly the best I have ever encountered in a hotel: I called to say I would be late and was told not to worry in the least and that the most important thing was to drive safely. When I arrived, I wasn't sure where the hotel carpark was, called again and the duty manager came out to find me and guide me in. The bartender was fabulous helpful and polite and the night receptionist super helpful too. 11/10!

Beautiful regenerated old hotel building, having had a re-fit and re-opening Feb '26, floors 4 and 5 still in progress and presently no lift to all floors above reception area. Very helpful staff, beautiful bar and lobby area. Excellent room, maintaining high quality fixtures and fittings, en suite shower room, beautifully appointed and characteristically set across two levels. Old sash windows, could do with some interior double glazing to keep out noise from the high street. Nice size car park to rear (chargeable) although tight. Overall very pleasant stay.
