Top Leicester Hotel Reviews

ibis budget Leicester

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff and the room was very clean"

The Grand Hotel Leicester by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Disclaimer: Building was still undergoing renovation during my visit. Building - Even with that, this one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in. The reception/lobby/restaurant/bar area on the ground floor carries a good style and clean design. With a little exploration there are wonderful meeting and conference rooms, which were not in use when I went for a wander. Ammenities - Poked my head in the gym, there is a gym. Room carried the essentials, well supplied with coffee and tea. Very handy for me as it was a packed weekend. I would double check towels, some of mine had marks. But solo traveller, I used the 'spare' set with no difficulty. Staff were professional and helpful at every encounter. Though I didn't go to the bar or restaurant on this trip. The appearance of the space is encouraging."

"The hotel’s ok, very convenient for De Montfort. Breakfast was a bit of a scrum, but they were overwhelmed by the number of customers. Car parking is a bit expensive and convenient or cheap and inconvenient."

Rothley Court Hotel by Greene King Inns

8/10 Good

"Amazing original building with a fascinating history. Most of the rooms are in an annex which are looking a little tired e.g. the bathrooms are dated. Outside parking is easy and lovely grounds. Unfortunately several of the picnic syle tables have seen better days. Overall it's not luxurious, however it's prices reflect this."
