Liked: It was central and close to my conference venue. It was clean. Getting into the venue and finding my key was easy. The room was huge and the bed was comfy.
Disliked: There was no running hot water in the evening which was disappointing. The staircase to my room was steep and narrow which was hard to navigate with a big case.

Liked: Loved the central location, the allocated on-site parking space (tricky to find with Leicester hotels) and the historical building.
Disliked: The climb up to the rooms is a bit tricky with bags/heavy case.My room was absolutely freezing, despite off-site staff “boosting” it for me, it was left on for an hour and the radiator needed bleeding. Had to get under the duvet in the eve for warmth! Shower screen didn’t stay in place so water fell onto the floor.

Great location and nice room,...

Liked: The location was fantastic as we were visiting from London to see a show at the Curve Theatre. The hotel is a 6 minute walk to the theatre and a short distance to many restaurants and pubs, which we were very thankful for due to cold temperature! The instructions to find the hotel and carpark were clear and the check-in was very easy. The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom and bathroom were both extremely spacious.
Disliked: Upon arrival, the keysafe for our room was open (not just unlocked, but hanging open). Our one set of keys was inside, but we were not aware if there was supposed to be a spare set and if this had been taken by someone else. Being two young women travelling together, this did cause us some worry. We latched the door overnight, and thankfully nothing happened, but as we were obviously sent the code to our room, we would've appreciated arriving to a locked keysafe for peace of mind if not for safety. The only other slight annoyance was that we had to vacate the carpark by check-out at 10:30. While I understand the need for space in the carpark for new hotel guests, the carpark itself was empty apart from my vehicle and one other. It would have been great if we were able to check out of the hotel and leave the car there for slightly longer, especially since the next guests wouldn't be checking in until 3pm anyway, but we unfortunately had to leave Leicester for London at 10:15 so as to not pay for onstreet parking while staying later to have a nice breakfast and explore the city as we had planned. If this is not at all possible, maybe advertising as such on the booking form would be good, as we could have planned our time better had we known before arrival that we would need to vacate the carpark by check out.

very clean, fantastic property, free...

Liked: We spent only one night. The place was in a very convenient location. The room and the bathroom both were specious, clean with a comfort bed .
Disliked: The wardrobe was not clean enough to keep clothes. A fridge, a fan and some other items were stored in it . The code for the carpark gate did not work.

Very good
