Friendliness of staff on checking in.
Not many options for breakfast especially the cold buffet and had to ask a number of times for items to be restocked. We also had to wait for tables to be cleared and cleaned on Saturday morning. The bed was small and uncomfortable and the room smelled strongly of urine so had to keep windows open
Beliggenheten er bra, midt i sentrum, kort vei fra jernbanestasjonen. Det som er mindre bra er at jeg fortalte resepsjonen om at lampen på bordet i rommet ikke virket, De svarte at de ville se på det dagen etter, men det skjedde aldri. Det er uheldig.
Se over.
Staff were excellent. Really helpful.
Central location Comfortable
Nothing
Convenient location. Great base and price
Air conditioning kept turning off so woke in the night really hot. Also there was a lot of noise outside, which we could hear on the 6th floor.
Central and very close to where I needed to be and get to
Rooms very a little bit dated and carpet seems old in places
Easy check in , great location in the town centre
Everything was good
Convenient location. Spacious room. Opening window. Clean and plentiful linen and towels. Decent shower pressure n hot water.
A basic sprung mattress that was a bit too soft for me. All the check in n out emails I received - were they really necessary??
ROOMS WHERE LARGE AND ROOMY WITH GOOD FACILITIES. BREAKFAST WAS OK.
I had a good stay here. The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable, with a really comfy bed and a good TV with plenty of programmes to watch. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the location was great and convenient. I didn’t end up having breakfast, so I can’t comment on that. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and honestly couldn’t find anything I didn’t like. I would stay here again.
Very clean and also efficiently run, adequate rooms, even the standard double is a good size
The towels and bedding were adequate but didn't feel luxurious, it is a good value hotel but maybe more generously sized towels and softer pillows might help
Location of hotel perfect for a visit to The Curve Theatre.
Problem with room key. Had to move room which impacted my stay.

Location and breakfast

Breakfast was horrible not fit for human consumption Looked nice tasted disgusting
Staff reception was excellent and quick to assist.
Lovely room and great shower. Brilliant central location and lovely lobby/bar area.
TV wasnt working.
Beds were very comfortable. A very good location.
Bathroom was dirty and there are water stains on the bathroom ceiling. I paid for a breakfast which was basically inedible. Uncooked and cold. At 8 oclock in the morning. Also parking charges at the site are exhorbitant.
Good location for city centre and station. Staff were all very helpful and really pleasant. Nothing too much trouble. Good breakfast. Room very clean
Fan in bathroom not effective so stale smell from moisture.
Nothing — the room was unclean, unhygienic, and not fit for my family. No cot was provided despite being requested in advance.
Checked in at 6pm — the room smelt strongly of urine and was unclean. I requested a cot for my young child in advance but none was provided. I returned at 11pm from a wedding and told the manager I couldn’t stay — but I had my elderly disabled mother and two young children with me, nowhere safe to go at that hour. The duty manager agreed the room was unsuitable and confirmed a full refund in person on 24th Aug — yet the hotel has ignored me and refused to process it. Unhygienic, unprofessional, and unacceptable.
Hotel is in a good location, bed was very comfortable.
Hotel decor is looking a little tired.
Location are nice
I was told many time to the staff our toilet fan not working but no body fix it😡
Staff were welcoming on reception

Good location
I was expecting a better bed but met small double which to me is not good enough for couples. The shower gel in the room was not filled which could be viewed as the room not attended to before checking time.
The bed.
Excellent service
Central location, air conditioning
24 hour parking was a 7 minute walk away with heavy bags on a hot day.
Fab location for the theatre. Clean good size room. Air con a bonus in the heat!
Great staff. Very supportive.
The location was great, in the middle of the City of Leicester so was access to restaurants and shops
Having no parking was the one thing that let it down
Location!
Not cleaned room- dusty and needs mopping.

Helpful, friendly staff. Excellent location
The beds was too small, and the air conditioning kept switching itself off.
Really enjoyed my brief stay!
Only problem: a bit noisy at night.
Great location. Friendly staff
Room was was very tired and needs a refurbishment. Chunks out of the desk, scuffs on the wall. Floor was dirty. Got in the shower and had no shower gel, so had to ring reception for more.
Excellent stay, chose for an event at Athena - closest place I’ve ever said to an event! Brilliant walking distance and position and Parking availability! And great Aircon and blackout curtains in our 38° heatwave!

The luxury and staff hospitality
No complain
room was clean good size
n/a
A comfortable modern hotel in the heart of Leicester, convenient for its many pubs and restaurants. Not too far from the railway station and convenient for all local buses, in my case to Grace Road cricket ground.
The hotel was the most expensive in central Leicester and a little overpriced for what it was. The room wasn't huge and the double bed would have been on the small side if my wife had been travelling with me. In essence you are paying for the location. Not recommended for guests coming by car as the car parks nearby are extremely expensive. Breakfast was OK but the selection would become quite boring if staying for more than a couple of nights.

What guests love
Areas to consider
Cleanliness
6.5/10Multiple guests reported issues: stained curtains, grout and bathroom dirt, dusty rooms, missed housekeeping and occasional unpleasant smells — cleanliness is inconsistent.
Service
9/10Staff are frequently described as friendly, helpful and supportive; several reviews praise reception and service, with isolated incidents of unanswered calls.
Location
9.2/10Consistently praised as central and convenient for theatres, restaurants, shops and transport; a few guests found the hotel hard to spot or had parking access issues, but location itself is a strong positive.
Room Quality
6.5/10Mixed reports: some rooms spacious and comfortable, but others note hard mattresses, small beds, broken lamps/hangers, stained or poorly maintained fittings and intermittent AC/TV failures.
Amenities
8.4/10Good basic amenities (air conditioning when working, room size, lobby space) but shortcomings noted such as no USB ports, no in-room fridge, parking offsite and occasional restaurant closures.
Value for Money
8.8/10Several guests call the hotel affordable and reasonable for location; extra parking charges and cleanliness/room wear reduce perceived value for some but overall seen as good value.
Food and Beverage
6.5/10Limited mentions and mixed sentiment: some note poor breakfast and restaurant closures on certain evenings, so F&B is underwhelming overall.
Overall Experience
7.5/10Generally positive overall due to excellent location and friendly staff, but offset by recurring cleanliness, noise, parking and occasional room/amenity issues — results in a mixed but acceptable stay for many guests.
