Nothing good to say about this hotel other than Wifi worked.
Level of cleanliness was extremely poor. Broken electrical spur on wall with exposed wiring. Noisy music from outside till late at night. Staff were very difficult to communicate with. Hotel was unable to provide me with a VAT receipt.

Close to city nothing else
Room was dirty I felt after some people evacuation not cleaned and shower was not working I spoke to the staff I was told to have shower in the morning in different room. The leaning storage looks dirty after I asked for towels it smells molded. Poor quality compared to other hotels I have been before.

The room was quiet and it was close to where we needed to be, which is why we booked it in the first place, once we got pillows the bed was adequate, sadly these were the only plus points to this stay
Where to start I dont understand how this place is running, it was dirty and falling apart, we had no pillows, only 1 towel, the window didnt close the safety latch had been removed, the wardrobe was too big and so was facing the wrong way which ment it couldnt be opened (see attached photo) the shower door was broken, the tv had no remote so you couldnt use it, there was a kettle but no cups, the draw well see attached photo, the staff didnt really speak english that we met and it all seemed very shady, there was a stench of damp and urine in one of the corridors which we discovered was coming from 2 old armchairs in there, the room next to ours the couple arrived when we did and they had similar problems to us with the added bonus that they had a double bed but only a single duvet for it, shocking

The location was good for the centre of Leicester
The noise from the rooms did not stop all night. There was also a lot of banging and crashing of doors all night.
There were light switches hanging off the wall.
The toilet was dirty, and the floor had hair all over it.
The window was broken open, so I couldn't shut out some of the noise.
No towels were provided.

Nothing. It was disgusting and I'm hundreds of pounds out of pocket for checking out early. It was waking up with all the mite bites that finally did it. I tried to stick it out - buying disinfectant spray and new bed linen. But has to eventually find someone else at more expense. Have given up on getting anything back from Booking.com. THE WORST HOTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED IN.

Worst hotel avoid at all cost!
booked a double room they gave use a single blanket for a double bed, walls were all stained, bathroom had no toilet paper, also no lift available, and the smell when you walk through the front door of the hotel is disgusting. Furniture was dirty the mirrors also dirty, curtains were to short for the windows, also provided tea bags sugar and 2 cups but yet the was no kettle in the room to have tea not that I would have made tea as this room was disgusting. Looks like a posh hotel on the website but in reality it's the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Was to late to book a different hotel so had no choice but to sleep there!

Booked this as it was cheap but on arrival was given a key which didn't work, asked for another one and there wasn't one, no 1 decided to change our room so we had a room with which we couldn't lock 😂 we also asked the bloke if he could do anything about the issue to which he shrugged his shoulders 😂 but again it is very cheap
