Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were really comfortable, well-equipped, and clean. The breakfast spread was excellent with a wide range of full English and continental options. The service was top-notch, with a very accommodating staff and a lovely restaurant on-site. The location was modern, clean, and convenient for exploring Leicester and the surrounding area.
The hotel had some positives like excellent service and a convenient location, but it was let down by dated rooms and some noise disturbance. The welcoming staff and various amenities added value to the stay.
The hotel offers well-furnished rooms with comfortable beds, but some areas feel dated. The service is friendly but could be more attentive at times. The location is convenient for various activities, but there are minor drawbacks. The dining experience is satisfactory with a few areas for improvement.
The hotel had nicely decorated rooms with a good-sized desk and separate coffee table and armchair. It was absolutely spotless, though there was a minor issue with a leak in the ensuite bathroom, possibly due to a full filter. The service was amazing, very helpful, polite, accommodating, and friendly. The location was good for visiting the space center and convenient for families with the Bella Italia attached. The dining experience was fine, though a bit disappointing in some aspects. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly staff and convenient location.
