Value for money

The hotel is very run down on the outside and the inside. However, it is a very cheap hotel and I believe you get what you pay for. It is not as terrible as some people say, as long as you don't expect much. It was fine for a one night stay, the room was clean enough and the staff were friendly enough. Overall, value for money is great, hotel condition is bad.

Shambles

The Hotel has been closed due to fire a few weeks now. No warning to say this was the case, so arrived at the hotel to find it closed and cordoned off. No way to contact hotels.com and ruined the weekend away.

Excellent experience, no complaints

From walking in, you instantly get a super warm and family feel. In asian culture we care about hospitality and we do it well, and that’s exactly what i was met by. The whole process of booking and checking in was so easy and straightforward, a great experience for my first time booking a hotel, and doing a solo trip. The room was very humble and lovely! The bedsheets smelt amazing, and the bed comfortability was out of this world!! I had the best sleep honestly. I will absolutely definitely come back here when I go to Leicester again, without a doubt! Thank you very much to them for having me :)

Star Hotel, no stars included

should not be open - or should be half price. piles of rubbish out the front, sign completely bust, VERY basic. has been opened 6 months too early. Staff friendly but over priced for what it is. The sign of a 'bridal suite' upstairs made me shudder for any 'lucky couples' who stay here right now.

Terrible living standards and service

There was no heating or hot water in the room. When we complained we were simply told there was nothing that could be done. In many attempts to contact the hotel to speak to a manager or someone to offer a solution to this uncomfortable stay, it seems the staff aren’t competent to deal with my problem appropriately and no one seems to be bothered in addressing my complaint. I have now sent several emails and rung up everyday for 2 weeks and am still no further forward.

Tired Budget hotel, clean and good breakfast

low price which suited me. rooms clean but very tired - dirty marks on wall paper , cupboard in pieces, worrying looking plugs. BIG issue was the night worker opened my room - the was about to let someone into the room (obviously could not find the key downstairs as i had it) and then apologies and stood outside my door laughing. BIG plus breakfast a lovely surprise - well cooked and lots of cereal options. the room and bathroom was clean. good heating in the room. tiny towels. windows had been set top open just enough so they were not accessible from outside.

mouldy shower

Disappointing in that the shower was in a grim state, with black mould much in evidence. Did I mention it? Nooo, I'm British and we don't complain! On the plus side, I was shown to the nearest pub by the Reception staff with much humour and good will.
