This is what a hotel can be!

We arrived to a warm friendly reception. Our room was spacious and clean with t&c facilities, hairdryer and well equipped bathroom. Very comfy beds, plugs and charge points everywhere! Breakfast was relaxed despite the hotel being very busy. A server noticed my wife walks with a stick and was quick to offer her to bring her drinks and more. Bonus for us was having a carpark next door. Perfect for central Leicester. Many thanks

Friendly staff with easy access to town centre. We would have preferred restaurant dining facilities, rather than the cafe style which lacked comfort. All in all great for 1-2 nights but not comfortable enough for a longer stay.

First and foremost huge thank you to SHANE at the front desk. He was extremely helpful and went out of his way to help make our stay better. However, the issues started immediately when we got to our room and our room stank terribly of cigarettes, we were with children and had to go back down to relocate. Now moving to the room we were relocated to, there were a few TV channels that weren’t working, the room was cold, and the heater wasn’t working. I went to the front desk almost 5 times because the phone in the room wasn’t working and i just gave up going back down.
