Astonishingly cheap rates, and breakfast vouchers for only £9.95 made this an ideal weekend shopping escape for us. Ignore whatever your satnav tells you, and just stick to main roads, as hotel is located in centre of a major gyratory system - St. Nicholas Circle. Perfect position for town, shopping and car park. Breakfast has improved, still lacks a little... More

This hotel and the adjacent NCP multistory make up a large roundabout in the middle of some of Leicester's busiest roads. As such it's easy to get too and parking is extremely convienient . Access by foot is tricky depending on your approach, there is only one way onto the roundabout (without jaywalking) as far as we could tell. We... More

Rooms are clean and comfortable, reception staff friendly and helpful and the hotel has a good central location. We had two nights for £35 a night plus £10 a night for parking. Must be good if all you need is a good nights sleep. More

When I booked 3 nights (May 3rd - 5th 2012) I specifically asked for a quiet room as I had an MBA EXAM to take on 5th May. I was given ROOM 825 and to my dismay there was a lot of noise coming from the motorway (what happened to double glazed windows?), no heating, 3 patches of mould on... More

Location was excellent for shopping and restaurants. Parking simple, although a little expensive at £10 per night. The car park is basically empty overnight and they have a cheap promotion for arrivals between 4am and 9am so I'm sure the hotel could negotiate a better deal if they wanted. We ate in the hotel bar for convenience. Not particularly cheap... More

Terrible experience.. Upon check in overbearing staff informed us because we booked in advance for £39 for a family room that breakfast would not be included,if we had booked at a higher price it would have been Inc. So they wanted an extra £30 for breakfast £7.50 each. Then we would have to leave a credit card for extras, on... More

Thank you for your time and we are sorry your stay was marred by checkin. Having looked at your reservation the team are correct, a room only rate was booked, however, we understand your frustration at having to pay for breakfast as it was not included in the rate booked.

Nice hotel, good position etc etc. Love to stay again but WiFi is £16 per day or £5 per hour! Best Western is free as is Starbucks, Wetherspoons etc etc. For a hotel where the walk in room rate is £145, this charge is completely unrealistic. While this is in place I'll not be back.... More
