We really enjoyed our stay for just one night. We found the parking convenient and safe, although we did an extra circuit of the campus as the signposting in the last 150 metres wasn't clear. The breakfast was good, and the staff were professional, helpful and made us feel relaxed. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at the Elite Athlete Hotel again. Many thanks, Keiron Chatterjea

Very convenient for the University

This was a very nice hotel to stay in when visiting the University of Loughborough. It is right on the campus and has parking available. The staff were very friendly and helpful and I really enjoyed my dinner and breakfast. The room was large, airy and comfortable. It was inspiring to be dining with so many elite athletes too!

Nice lil hotel on campus

Nice little hotel within the Lboro Uni campus. Rooms are pleasant and well presented. Food selection not great but there is a small kitchen downstairs serving a buffet of quality food but it’s not cheap.

The food was ok, but breakfast was overcooked. We found the bed too hard for our liking, but that could be just us. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful but the hotel could do with more staff. We had to wait for five minutes to check in because there was no one at reception.
