Excellent as always

My favourite Leicester hotel, staff friendly and all areas exceptionally clean. Bar and lobby area is very modern but retains a cosy feel, a great space to do some work in at the of the day, the rooms are spacious with city views and plenty storage and amazing bathrooms. Parking is easy and nearby to the hotel, making the trip hassle free.

Good location for food

Friendly staff. All good but would prefer a closer carpark, fine in the good weather but a bit of a trudge with cases if raining.
