Paul
The hotel has recently undergone a bit of a refurb and is very smart, clean and tidy.
The staff very helpful.
Food was good and a good selection of drinks were available behind the bar.
The room we were given was very small with bed hard up against the wall and incredibly hot even with 2 fans working.
Fortunately another room became available with air con which was slightly larger and the helpful front of house staff enabled us to swap with no upgrade.
The hotel has a very good central location however due to constant road noise throughout the night from boy racers and very noisy public outside my wife and I hardly slept until police with a megaphone moved them on at 4.30am!!
Limited hotel parking available for £10 per night.

Parking was very handy and not too expensive at £10 for 24 hours. Great hotel and such brilliant friendly staff

Sarah
We had one of the most basic rooms. It was clean and comfortable. We found it quite stuffy (we were there in a heat wave) and there was no air con. A fan was provided however. The windows could not be opened fully and our view was limited to the back of ugly buildings and some litter. The staff were all super helpful and friendly.
Ari
We recently stayed for three days in this recently refurbished hotel. We stayed in Room 210. We found the room spacious and in a very good position overlooking the main thoroughfare in the shopping and restaurant area. It was during an exceptional heatwave and the air conditioning was superb in our room and throughout the hotel.It is an elegant hotel and quiet. We would particularly like to mention the staff at breakfast, at the bar and reception.
In particular whilst we were there I also needed to carry out some work but needed a larger table in my room. Through the excellent and diligent attention on reception by Nijo Bastin the table and chair arrived very promptly. In fact, within minutes of my request. Also I needed some printing done and this again was dealt with extremely efficiently by Nijo and Sharon. Whilst we did not dine at the hotel we did have the breakfast each day and it was excellent. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay made even more pleasant by the staff. Needless to say, the Hotel is very centrally placed and is an extremely short distance from the main railway station. It was only a few minutes to walk along straight and level pavements to arrive at the hotel.
The only thing we did not like was the TV. The remote was very temperamental making it very hit and miss in turning on the channels.

Great historic building with kind caring staff. The building is a transitional construction state so some areas a little run down or musky smelling. Room was comfortable and well appointed. Overall we had a great stay

Absolutely stunning hotel, very well looked after and well maintained. Great location in the city centre. Next to shops and restaurants. Parking was easy, just 2 min walk to hotel. Receptionists made you feel very welcome, very helpful and friendly. Hotel room was very nice and spacious, bathroom was stunning just a shame no bath but overall excellent. Breakfast was probably the best hotel breakfast we have had. The lady serving at breakfast was by far the best member of staff, her name was Ania. She was amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The only down side to our weekend was a function which started at 4pm Saturday which was so loud and made the bed and chairs feel the base of the music. I did ask reception cause the rest of the hotel seemed quiet! We were given the wrong room, right above the function room. It continued till 12:20 when promised it would stop at 12midnight. So if you are booking make sure you ask if there is a function and to be allocated away from it. Apart from that an amazing hotel and would stay again.

Friendly staff enjoyable stay
Sadia
Great location, really lovely staff and the property was lovely. It was clean and the room was amazing.
jonathon
Most things were ok with the hotel and things were being renovated
My concern was that I travelled on business but the wifi in the room was virtually nonexistent so I could work as my laptop IT security needs wifi, second the room was small but well maintained but there is no air-conditioning and the window had a very restricted opening ( ok for security) but the room got so hot i was not able to sleep with the room fan only moving the hot air around. With the only reason for staying was to sleep and relax it wasn't fit for purpose for me

From checking in to checking out the staff were always polite and helpfu. The room was very clean apart from a small cobweb in a small corner in the bathroom, but it didn’t detract from the cleanliness of the rest of the room.
Cal
Appreciate it was the hottest day of the year however a dirty old fan as the only source of cooling isn’t really acceptable. Hotel is in a great location, little bit tired but the member of staff on reception was excellent.
Erin
Excellent customer service, Sharon in particular was incredibly helpful & kind, & so lovely to chat to. Lovely spacious room, comfy bed, beautiful bathroom with a lovely shower. Really happy with my stay, thank you!
paul

We loved our stay. The breakfast was delicious, our rooms spacious. The only thing is the twin beds are 3ft not the standard single. They were a little small for us! Apart from that our dinner was lovely.
Jenny
Everything about our stay here was excellent, the room was great , the food was great ,and the staff were very friendly and polite,I would definitely stay here again without a doubt
Tony
Great room and very comfortable stay
Jonathan
The lobby and rooms have been renovated really well. The hallways still require some work.
Unfortunately a lot of the original windows seem to still be in place and don’t fully shut and seal given that the hotel is in the town centre. This can cause a lot of noise in the room during the night especially on Fridays and Saturdays. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again but I’ll bring earplugs next time!

Spacious grand entrance, pleasant helpful reception staff. Room was of a good large size, modern, contemporary, clean with excellent facilities. 24-hour bar with good selection of drinks. Breakfast was exceptional with a wide range of choice and fresh produce of a high standard. The hotel exceeded all my expectations and would not hesitate to stay there again.
Nick
Nice hotel well invested and some nice little touches. Good range at breakfast.
Ashley
Very nice hotel with friendly helpful staff
Richard
Yet another stay at this beautiful renovated city centre hotel. As always a very pleasant welcome on arrival and at check-in, plenty of easy parking (and not expensive). Beautiful spacious double room with en suite shower a bath and toiletries to hand, N/B no air conditioning presently, but given two large effective fans running through out the day to help maintain room airflow, room was serviced every day to maintain clean and crisp atmosphere. Breakfast served as a buffet along side a small A La Carte menu offering upgrades. Beautiful bar and reception area offering drinks or respite from city centre life.

Absolute stunning hotel. Lovely to see a hotel with so much history being restored. Currently going through refurb. Staff friendly. Breakfast amazing. Bedroom was small with no air con. Main elevator was out of order but you could use staff/service lift if needed. Car park at rear of hotel with reduced rates for hotel guests. Would definitely stay here again just not in the middle of a heat wave.

Room was extremely hot, unable to speak it must of been well over 30deg. Tiny fan provided. Awful smell around reception / bar area. Drink prices we exceptionally high. £9.50 for a can of Guinness, plus a service charge!!
Would not stay again which is a shame as the building itself is lovely.

Brilliant staff attitude. Couldn’t be more helpful and welcoming. The entire hotel has been beautifully restored.

Staff refused basic requests like providing cutlery

The lift was broken so the service lift was the only option. However the landing areas were 'behind the scenes' and poor quality.
I did not much care for the long black hairs stuck to the walls of the shower from a previous guest. Clearly not a good cleaning regime.
The shower has my pet hate. The shower controls are behind the door. You can't use them without being inside it and it is too small to avoid getting the inevitable blast of cold water that is living in the pipes before whatever the previous selected temperature lands on you.
The breakfast was very good -freshly cooked and delivered on a plate. Not the usual buffet.

Excellent overnight business stop over, oldy world charm with a boutique feel and modern recent refit, lovely staff and excellent city centre location.
Adrian
Great place to stay right in the centre of Leicester. The rooms are updated, modern and very comfortable. Parking is available on site at the back of the hotel. Breakfast was excellent with a lot of variety of high quality food to choose from. Highly recommended.

Beautiful regenerated old hotel building, having had a re-fit and re-opening Feb '26, floors 4 and 5 still in progress and presently no lift to all floors above reception area. Very helpful staff, beautiful bar and lobby area. Excellent room, maintaining high quality fixtures and fittings, en suite shower room, beautifully appointed and characteristically set across two levels. Old sash windows, could do with some interior double glazing to keep out noise from the high street. Nice size car park to rear (chargeable) although tight. Overall very pleasant stay.

The staff were truly the best I have ever encountered in a hotel: I called to say I would be late and was told not to worry in the least and that the most important thing was to drive safely. When I arrived, I wasn't sure where the hotel carpark was, called again and the duty manager came out to find me and guide me in. The bartender was fabulous helpful and polite and the night receptionist super helpful too. 11/10!

The hotel was refurbished in February 2026 but the lift wasn’t working yet. The rooms looked lovely but it had single glazed windows so it was extremely noisy because the hotel is on the High Street. Lots of cars going past with loud exhausts and blaring music until the early hours so it disturbed my sleep. Bed and pillows were comfy. Unable to open windows to get air in. Found a toenail and false finger nail on the floor. Room door shuddered whenever someone opened or closed their room door nearby. No soundproofing, could hear all conversations in the corridor. Car park didn’t feel very safe, seemed quite rough and it was an additional fee.

Location is in city center. Overall condition is not a good as I saw on picture. Elevator is not working so we had to carry luggage to our room (staff did say they can help). The carpet in public area is old and has smell. Room is ok but noise isolation is poor. Car park is small and £10 overnight. Staff is polite. Breakfast is good.
Alexandria
The food was very good. The bar staff excellent. Front staff were accommodating and thoughtful.
Rebecca
The breakfast was good but a bit expensive
Alexandra
Fantastic hotel, with all it's history lovingly and sympathetically included in its design. The staff were brilliant- friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond for my partners Birthday, which was the reason for our stay. The room was spotless, well laid out, and the amenities were of a high standard. If we ever visit Leicester again, this would be my first choice of hotel.
