Great all around !
3.8
Advertised as a 3-star hotel it is in fact a very basic B&B over a shop.
Stair carpet is threadbare and the the whole atmosphere is very rundown. I usually stay at the Premier Inn which is slightly less expensive and of a considerably higher standard

quiet close to shops good service
3.8
no real reception, really steep stairs & room at top of three flights - no lift, not in a nice area of town and entrance to 'hotel' exposed, felt quite vulnerable. not for solo travellers

Didn't like the wait outside in the cold and having to call to say I'd arrived.

The hotel was accessible from a door on the street next to a Kebab shop! The experience was shocking as reviews seemed to be quite good. Basic tiny room which was clean but very downmarket!
3.8
Had to find entrance is a Shop doorway in shop itself.
Shower cold then 3rd D burn time. All said for Price will stop again

Very excellent stay, upscaled my room free of charge too big thanks to the receptionist for that, highly recommend the likes of this place over a chain

A nicely kept, clean and comfortable B&B near to the bus station and city centre with friendly staff.

My room was small and turned towards a rather noisy road. Heated by a single air-con unit, which was not great during a blizzard - at least the room was less noisy...
Overall the property is clean and probably OK for the price.

Very thin walls, no curtains on the windows just office blinds, the room was over the front door so very noisy and the mattress was particularly uncomfortable. But the staff were lovely, friendly and helpful

Lovely room and ideal for one nights stay.

There’s nothing to complain about it was perfect for me. Cheers

Finding it was tricky as it was just a door on a shop parade with the sign above it. You have to call a phone number that's on the door to be let in. But the rooms where modern, clean and ideal for a cheap weekend away that's just a 10 minute walk from the town centre.
3.8
Nice stay lovely clean room friendly staff very welcoming.
3.8
Lot of loud music till early in the morning as it is just beside a night club so you can't sleep. The area is a bit unsafe and the entrance is really not like a Hotel at all, it looks really dodgy. Room was nice but I would not stay there again.
3.8
2 nights booking 2 mins away from bus and town centre will use the hotel again n again
3.8
The shower was so hot would of burnt me if i got in an sink plug wouldnt let water out

Very helpful staff on reception. Room was simple and clean but although it was a no smoking policy and this was clearly pointed out in a notice handed to us, evidently this was not being adhered to. We are non-smokers. We think an air freshener had been used to mask the smell but overnight it got worse to the point that our clothes smelled of cigarette smoke so it was either in the mattresses or coming into the bathroom by some means from another room. The shower room was very small and the tap was coming off the basin causing a leak on the floor so a minor maintenance issue. Only other comment was that the vertical blind wasn’t adequate due to the very bright lights outside in the street. Beds comfortable, good TV, multi storey carpark a two minute walk and just £5 for 24 hours so lack of parking at the guesthouse not an issue at all.

very friendly staff, nice clean room.

Booked this very last minute as a stop-over on my way back down south, the staff were absolutely lovely and the room was immaculate, fantastic place to stay and I will definitely book here again next time I’m in Leicester!

The guest house is being renovated, the standard appears to be good for the cost and location. The only thing that concerned my partner was the room did not appear to be cleaned very well with dust on the surfaces and a couple of long dark hairs on the bedding.
Greeted by a friendly staff member who sorted out the checkin without fuss.
3.8
The staff were really nice and for the price I payed, i got. Which is really nice. Really enjoyed it
3.8
The room we stayed in had most things we needed but was very very small. There was also only one hanger for clothes. The listing also stated a continental breakfast was included but on arrival we were told this was no longer available.
Overall it was clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly.
3.8
Very friendly and helpful chap on reception desk. It's a low price hotel right in the centre of the city, not perhaps in the most salubrious of locations, but decent enough for a quick stay if you just need to get your head down and early departure in the morning. Rooms fairly small, but newly refurbished.
3.8
All of the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, and went out of their way to be helpful. Bear in mind, this is a budget hotel… But everything is new and spotlessly clean. However, it’s not really a B&B … although I gather from some reviews a breakfast is possible if you arrange in advance. I liked the fact that they had real coffee cups and glasses in the room instead of disposables, and it’s really thoughtful of them to provide guests with a bottle of real milk for coffee on arrival.…I just wish it had not been a plastic bottle instead of a carton, and that the bathroom toiletries and soap were sustainable instead of plastic. Lastly, their listing says they have Netflix, but that’s only if you have your own logon. It’s loaded on the television, but not available if you don’t have an account. I would definitely stay here again, although it’s actually more like 15- 20 minutes from the train station than the seven that they list.

Friendly receptionist. Booked a single room and was fortunate to get upgraded to a double at no extra cost. Clean room. Slightly on the small side but you get what you pay for. Basic amenities provided. Be aware that it is the hotel policy that guests are not allowed to enter the building. Simple checkout procedure.
3.8
This really isn’t a hotel, doesn’t even match to standard of a b&b, I was quite shocked. The place looked unfinished. The lady running it was very friendly but don’t go if you have luggage. There is a steep set of stairs to climb up as soon as you enter through the door. Quite dangerous if you have heavy luggage. It was charging the same price as other big chain basic hotels like Ibis or Comfort Inn, but definitely not up to that same standard.
3.8
Pleasant and comfortable room. Staff exceptionally helpful and friendly.
3.8
Receptionist was lovely, very helpful and the room was newly decorated and spotlessly clean. However, it is really just a room in a building and although near to town centre is in a very run down area. Parking is on the street. Continental breakfast is in your room on arrival..4 mini packs of cereal and a long life pain Au chocolate. Milk in fridge was sour. Certainly not what I would class as bed and breakfast.

No road name on booking form. Another B&B of same name (now shut) in the area. Taxi drivers totally confused. Drove around and about. We had no phone number for the B&B. Room spotless. Breakfast excellent. Kettle under too low a shelf but that can be remedied. Shower brand new. Spotless. Water temperature fine but tray too shallow for the drain (or drain not working) and all flooded into bedroom area before we had noticed. (one of us in shower the other in bed.) The staff were very polite and eager to remedy things and do well. Gave us a card with proper address on it and a phone number. Good Luck to them in the future.
