Everything was perfect in every way from coffee machine to shower, air conditioner unit was great way keeping me cool. I will definitely stay here again.
I can't find fault with the room.

Everything was exponential no complain.
Bed was very comfortable

Great location beautiful building
We were on the ground floor facing the street which was a bit noisy from foot traffic
Excellent location and pristine room
Nothing
We booked two rooms which were both immaculate. One room serviced the second day so a shout out to housekeepers who did a great job. Located opposite the cathedral and a few minutes from the centre.
There was nothing we did not like, if I had to be picky then the room did get quite warm but the fan provided was adequate to cool us down.
Lovely location in the cathedral environs. Clean and well appointed. Parking at the rear in a barrier protected public car park, but free for guests
Perhaps clearer information about the parking arrangements would be helpful
Clean and well equipped, good location with free parking in the city
Parking is next door
No breakfast
The location of this place is excellent; you're right by the cathedral which is very convenient for the city. There's a secure car park right next to the lodge. The communication is also brilliant - you get a message detailing anything you might wish to know about how the car parking works, where to find it, etc. The room is nicely decorated, modern and clean.
We were staying for 3 nights, two of us, and there were only three coffee pods supplied which felt like a bit of a shame. Also I forgot where the check-in desk was (we'd stayed here a few years back) and it took me a while to remember where to go. It was included in the informational message about check in, but, a What3Words location would be useful to really set this in stone.
Great location, lovely clean room. Would stay again & definitely would recommend.
Nothing not to like.
Tutto perfetto! Dalla pulizia impeccabile alla cura dei dettagli, fino alla comodità della camera e alla posizione ottima. Un soggiorno davvero impeccabile sotto ogni punto di vista. Ho apprezzato molto il vassoio in camera completo dí bollitore, tea, caffè latte e tazzine.
Nulla, è andato tutto benissimo!
Clean room, comfy bed, useful chiller in the room & lovely refreshments
There was nothing St Martin's could do more.
Easy to find and staff are welcoming, clean rooms
Situated in a good location
Clean, well maintained and staff are welcomeing
Good location close to lovely restaurants and there is a cafe across the road for breakfast
We had a fantastic stay at St Martins Lodge last night and honestly couldn’t fault it. The staff were absolutely lovely — friendly, welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. Our room was beautiful, comfortable and had everything we needed. The bed deserves a special mention because it was possibly one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in! 😍 We had a brilliant night’s sleep, helped by how lovely and quiet the hotel was. The location is also fantastic, right in the heart of Leicester, making it perfect for getting out and about while still feeling peaceful and relaxing when you’re back at the hotel. Overall, we had a really lovely stay and would definitely recommend St Martins Lodge. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️
The only downside was the curtains had little holes in so light was coming through and I love my room to be as dark as possible.
Perfect location in the city centre with added bonus of parking included. It was immaculately clean, extremely peaceful, with excellent security and near to the Cathedral and the Lanes.
Our room on the ground floor is beautifully designed but open plan so no door to the bathroom and no privacy for contemplation on the loo! Fine if you know someone exceptionally well.
Location was fantastic
Rooms are very warm despite air con
Mooie kamer
Excellent location just next door to the Richard III visitor centre and cathedral. Quieter than city centre though only a few minutes walk to restaurants and bars. I had a lovely comfortable room with lots of space.
No breakfast available.
Fantastic location in the center of Leicester. Room was clean and well presented. concise instructions with regards to entry and where to collect keys. building was very secure. free onsite parking
.
Great location and lovely place to stay
Beautiful building, Beautiful room. Great location
All of it. Lovely building beautifully decorated. Had everything you could want for the perfect stay
Staff were very good. Location very good, Rooms looked very nice We had a bathroom door
Double room beds were very small and uncomfortable for us as were the pillows. The room was very hot, the window didnt open much, there was a fan but it was very noisy. The view from the window was a brick wall. For me, I'm glad I didnt have a room with a bathroom without a door.
Great location and communication from host. Car park also available
Hotel room was clean, high quality and well equipped. The included coffee machine and tea/coffee/biscuits were very nice too.
Room was open plan with a near ceiling high dividing wall, which meant the toilet was behind the wall from the bed's headboard with no door separating the two - so you could hear in great detail what anyone else was up to on the toilet. Great room other than the slightly unusual layout.
Good location. Good parking.Good room.All Good.
There is nothing to not like.
Nice room, nicely decorated, good location and parking.
No door on the bathroom for privacy when using the toilet.
No breakfast included Easy access for my mobility issues
We felt the room could have been cleaner. Cobwebs on ceiling, main light bulb cover was filthy, dent in bathroom door and the bed sheet had a tear in it,
Staff were very plesent. Carpark was secure and beside the hotel
Little tricky finding it.
Very well located 2 minutes walk from Richard 3rd Centre
Lovely location, fabulous shower
Rooms booked were too far apart. I am in my 60s so going up and downstairs to see my son was really annoying
Loved the service and staff. The receptionist was amazing
Nothing
Very comfortable
Central and still quite
Such a friendly welcome to Leicester from reception. Really made me feel welcome. The room was fantastic in a really lovely (loveliest?) part of the city, the cathedral area which is really quite different to the rest of the city and possibly the best place to be based; close to all you would want to see. My stay in Leicester would have been very different if I chose a different place to stay as some are in shopping centres or near the football ground. Really liked the Lanes area and around the Lodge. Nice details in the room and one of the cleanest rooms I have stayed in, thanks to the behind the scenes staff. Thank you for the stay and look forward to returning some time.
Nothing at all. Very easy to find reception even though it's not at the property, a minute's walk away.

The location was exceptional. Really quiet at night but our bedroom window was opposite the Cathedral. Woke up to the sound of bells which was lovely. Parking was included and easy to find right next to the hotel. Allowed us to stayed parked beyond check out time so we could get some brunch. All the corridors smelt lovely and everywhere was spotlessly clean. Mini fridge with water in the room and some fresh milk, biscuits and tea and coffee. Dyson fan which was great. Hot water and plentiful. Very nicely decorated
There was a glass shelf above the bathroom sink but it covered most of the sink so washing your face was impossible and even brushing your teeth was a bit tricky
Lovely, characterful building opposite the Cathedral. Excellent situation near The Lanes with many food and drink outlets. Easy parking, great in a city.
Nothing
Value and warmth from staff was great and I’d come back again. Comfy bed, nice smelling hallways and room and a very nice bathroom
Feels very nitpicky but the windowsills were visibly dusty which didn’t impact my stay but I think it’s a quick clean up task that would enhance customer satisfaction
Centrally located and walking distance to everything. The rooms are very beautifully decorated,big bathroom and lovely bed tray with tea and biscuits after a long day.
Absolutely nothing.
they are very good
Nothings
The location was excellent - across the road from the cathedral and close to the King Richard III Visitor Centre and the Guildhall Museum. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. The secure private car park was very convenient. If we return to Leicester, we are very likely to stay there again.
St Martin's Lodge does not provide food, including breakfast. We knew that when we booked and it was not a problem. There are many nearby places that serve good breakfasts of all types; the staff at reception were very helpful with advice.
Central location with included car parking was ideal. Clear directions to the propery were good. Accomodation was comfortable and little touches like the welcome tray and bottled water were good additions.

Superb central location

Beautiful room very clean had all the amenities needed and carpark was conveniently located
Just very comfortable, and exceptionally clean and lovely staff checked us in. All very close to many amenities. Argentinian restaurant very close by with delicious, lovely tapas!
Shame no breakfast but we found a lovely cafe near by
Beautiful rooms and views.
Location of reception is odd.
Beautifully designed rooms, felt very fancy. Beds were very comfortable. Very clean and staff were very welcoming and friendly.
No breakfast excellent location
Hairdryer missing.
Luxurious room and en suite. Extras like a mini -fridge and Dyson fan appreciated in heatwave!! Parking included in price. Very central location. Very friendly and helpful staff
Beautiful room Lovely reception staff
Great WiFi, really good central location for Leicester really friendly staff and good car parking. Lovely bathroom and shower.
Prefer a larger room for the price but still excellent
Great location and high standard
Fan wasn’t able to swivel and windows could have done with being able to open more. Understand air con can’t be added due to age
Great location and building full of character. Smelt fresh
Small issue with bathroom but resolved with excellent customer service.
Central location
Sink basin was small and shelf got in the way
Fabulous central location, next door to Richard III centre and opposite the cathedral. Nicely renovated heritage building. Welcoming receptionist.
We went on a stifling hot day and the room was extremely warm.

Beautiful and contemporary rooms

Clean, tidy, very comfortable bed and good shower plus facilities in the room
Really helpful staff. Nicely decorated and well equipped rooms.
A little noisy from outside (but this is the city centre) and inside - as there are numerous fire doors which slam shut.
חדר מעולה, צוות אדיב, מיקום במרכז העיר. נחזור לכאן שוב אם נהיה באזור.
מיקום פחות נוח מבחינת החניה
Free parking, easy check-in, fabulous room which was spotlessly clean and wonderful ambience. Perfect location for a night out with friends in Leicester City Centre.

We have stayed here lots of times and each time has been perfect. Comfy bed, very clean rooms, helpful staff, lovely toiletries and a very soft bathrobe. Rooms are beautifully decorated, and each is slightly different (we have stayed in 4 different ones now). Would definitely recommend.
Leaving, I could have happily stayed another night!
Clean tidy room with car park
No Wi-fi as advertised. When I contacted reception I was informed this was an on-going problem that had not been solved. Shower drain cover not in place but standing in corner of shower.
Very well appointed hotel
Doesn’t make it clear there are 2 buildings and the reception is in the opposite building to hotel rooms. There was no hot water for showering on the last morning of our stay
Very central location and always a great price, will always stay here.
The furnishings and decor were of a very high standard. The location is excellent, right next to the Cathedral in Leicester city centre.
The room was so hot. We were provided with two large fans but they only reduced the heat in the room slightly. We were told that as it is a Georgian building the hotel is not permitted to install air-conditioning which we understand
The room was of the highest quality in a surperb location.
We stayed over the heatwave period and despite fans baing made available it was difficult to sleep with the heat as the fans were too noisy to leave on all night.
Convenience to the centre. Bathroom. Helpful staff.
No air con. It was very hot even with a fan!
Beautiful rooms, perfect location and free parking
Rooms very luxurious and spacious, v comfy beds. Rooms equipped with fans to try she help during the heatwave
We visited during a heat wave... rooms v v hot. Windows only opened 3 inches, so unable to get cool airflow in the night
Great location with a perfect little car park behind the property
Shame it has no breakfast facilities
Right in the middle of town, with easy parking
Nothing
My room was lovely with a view of the Cathedral gardens. The staff was friendly, and the location was ideal for downtown attractions. Very walkable to many places to eat and drink.
The fact that the registration desk is in another building across the street and the interior is labyrinthian might make it inaccessible for some guests, but that did not apply to me.
Great location for exploring Leicester. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was exceptionally clean and had all we needed.
Not applicable.
Location. Room.
The shower was great, room size amazing, bed was sublime.... Cannot fault this place
Trying to find the car park entrance
Great location. Spotless . Nice staff. Decor was lovely.
Room has a bit dark as it backed on to a small courtyard. Hardly any natural light coming in .
Great location for visiting the Cathedral and Richard III Centre.

Great location, cleaned to a high standard
AC would be good but the fan in the room was sufficient
The quality of the accommodation was superb. The location was perfect for our plans to visit tbe King Richard III vistor centre and burial place in the cathedral. St Martins square was a bonus with lovely cafes and restaurants all on thr doorstep. Parking was a bonus too.
A little bit more milk in the fridge as we couldnt find a shop to make more tea and coffee but it wasnt a problem
Location was excellent, parking very easy and staff lovely

Spacious, beautiful and well equipped room. Quiet very comfortable bed and luxurious bath. Very impressed and would happily stay again.
No facilities for breakfast but it is in the centre of a district of restaurants.
Good location friendly staff
Room was hot, but a fan was in the room.
Very central and clean modern space. Next to the cathedral so felt very peaceful.

Very good hotel. Great location.
I’d like more food and drink options, but other than that it was great.
Absolutely love this hotel very comfortable and fantastic location. Few minor issues but still a fabulous hotel and love the decor.
Due to heatwave room was very hot and windows had not been opened before arrival. No aircon and only a tower fan to cool room down. It was one of the cooler days in the heatwave so had windows been opened fan would have not been needed. Would have been unbearable if was one of the hot days in June. Room could do with paint maintenance in bathroom and on ceiling and cobwebs cleared in bathroom.

Location and value
A nice hotel in the centre
This is one of the worst places I've ever stayed. Yes, it was hot over the last few days, but the rooms were 34 degrees inside. There was no ventilation, and the sash windows would not open more than 10 cm high. I could not create any ventilation in the room, so it was unbearable to sleep. They provided a fan, but all it did was blow hot air around. No air con, and no ventilation. I would not recommend staying here during the summer
This property is beautiful, and both my room and the bathroom were excellent. The room was very clean and well presented. I appreciated having a fridge stocked with water, as well as a tray with a lovely selection of teas and coffees, accompanied by some delicious biscuits. The location was excellent, and the receptionist was polite, friendly, and very helpful throughout my stay.
The only improvement I would suggest is installing air conditioning in the room. The weather was very hot yesterday, which made it difficult to sleep. Although a fan was provided, it was quite noisy and did not compensate for the lack of air conditioning.
Perfect location, beautifully presented
