8/10 Very good

A solid stay

Incredibly reasonably priced stay on Easter weekend, can’t fault it, really good value
Angus, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Mixed

Horrid frontage and stairway but the room was clean and the chap on reception very nice. Decent basic accommodation.
Scott, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Location wrong. No sleep. Dangerous shower.

Warning, its not where the Hotels.com map says it is. I booked expecting it to be near the theatre but its the far side of Leicester. Very cheap mattress so poor sleep. Tiny room with very basic facilities, despite charging as much as the nicer larger chains. Shower stuck on boiling so had to wash hai using a glass over the tiny sink which is barely big enough to wash you hands. Deeply unpleasant experience.
Lizzie, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

First impression was the hotel clean and tidy. My friend and I choose twin room option. I personally didnt get much sleep due to the mattress, there was no support, and the springs were pertruding, making it a very nosiy and uncomfortable night.
Kerry, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Small clean room, area not so great

For the price it is okay but it is a walk from the city centre and feels like it is in a rough area. Have to call to be let in and don’t agree with having to provide photo ID as this isn’t required in the UK Suspect the property is primarily used by the council to house immigrants or homeless as the info leaflet says they’ll let local authorities know if you get kicked out for any reason. Room was surprisingly clean but small, mattress was thin and could feel the springs. When I arrived I didn’t think I would actually stay but it was clean enough and the inside is much better than the outside.

Fine for one night

Positives: the reception man was nice and the location was very easy to get to. Negatives: the room smelled bad, there was mould in the bathroom, and one of my pillows had mascara on. Additionally, the room was very cold, and the bed was not comfortable. Unfortunately the people in the room next door were very loud and woke me up at 5am- obviously not the fault of the hotel itself but another reason for a restless night. I don’t think I would stay again.

Lovely room and ideal for one nights stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Very excellent stay, upscaled my room free of charge too big thanks to the receptionist for that, highly recommend the likes of this place over a chain
Sophie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Advertised as a 3-star hotel it is in fact a very basic B&B over a shop. Stair carpet is threadbare and the the whole atmosphere is very rundown. I usually stay at the Premier Inn which is slightly less expensive and of a considerably higher standard

All ok

no real reception, really steep stairs & room at top of three flights - no lift, not in a nice area of town and entrance to 'hotel' exposed, felt quite vulnerable. not for solo travellers

Downmarket and disappointing

The hotel was accessible from a door on the street next to a Kebab shop! The experience was shocking as reviews seemed to be quite good. Basic tiny room which was clean but very downmarket!
Diana, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Didn't like the wait outside in the cold and having to call to say I'd arrived.
Bradley, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Had to find entrance is a Shop doorway in shop itself. Shower cold then 3rd D burn time. All said for Price will stop again
Peter, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Lot of loud music till early in the morning as it is just beside a night club so you can't sleep. The area is a bit unsafe and the entrance is really not like a Hotel at all, it looks really dodgy. Room was nice but I would not stay there again.

Avoid

I booked this hotel as the description said a few minute walk from the theatre, and also showed the pin on the map being right next to it. Once I’d booked and put the address into maps it was an 11 minute walk which wasn’t too much of an issue but I was annoyed as the location was the reason I chose it. I then messaged the hotel through the app to check I had the right address with no reply. I’d booked the hotel as 1 guest as I was the only person staying that night. Myself and my uncle arrived as he was helping me with luggage. He was hoping to come into the room to just get changed before we headed out… not allowed! We were left with no option but to pay an extra £10 to ‘upgrade’ the room to allow him to do so. The room itself was cold and smelt unpleasant. The bathroom was covered in mould. I didn’t inspect the cleanliness thoroughly as I was in a rush to get ready but did notice a few hairs on the bed and the TV remote was filthy. The bed was 2 singles pushed together and was awful - I felt every spring and had an awful nights sleep. Not helped by the paper thin vertical blinds letting the light in. I didn’t expect anything amazing due to the price but certainly wasn’t expecting this. Thankfully it was only for 1 night.
