During my stay, I found the hotel to be a warm and inviting place, outstanding in service and cleanliness. The room was clean and well-kept, and the staff were incredibly attentive, which enhanced the experience greatly. However, the dining could use improvement, especially with some meal options not meeting expectations. Overall, it feels like a good deal for the price considering the quality of service and comfort provided.

The hotel is conveniently located in the city center of Leicester, which makes exploring the area quite easy. The staff really go above and beyond, making our stay memorable and enjoyable. The rooms were spacious, but some aspects like the bathroom could use a bit more attention. The dining options were decent but could use more variety, particularly for dietary restrictions. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone needing a base in Leicester.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was certainly a plus, being close to the town center and shopping areas, making it convenient. The rooms were clean but felt a bit outdated, and while there were some friendly staff moments, service was inconsistent. Dining wasn't great either, with subpar meals compared to what I expected. Overall, it has potential but needs improvements in various areas.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was quite clean and comfortable, and the location was convenient for getting around Leicester. Unfortunately, my stay was marred by service issues, especially regarding breakfast where my orders were frequently wrong, and I felt misled about the restaurant's availability due to Christmas parties. Overall, there were positives but also significant flaws that I hope they can improve upon.
