Advertised as a 3-star hotel it is in fact a very basic B&B over a shop. Stair carpet is threadbare and the the whole atmosphere is very rundown. I usually stay at the Premier Inn which is slightly less expensive and of a considerably higher standard

no real reception, really steep stairs & room at top of three flights - no lift, not in a nice area of town and entrance to 'hotel' exposed, felt quite vulnerable. not for solo travellers

Downmarket and disappointing
The hotel was accessible from a door on the street next to a Kebab shop! The experience was shocking as reviews seemed to be quite good. Basic tiny room which was clean but very downmarket!

This was perfect for me as I needed somewhere to stay for one night for the Radio 2 concert in the Park. The guy on reception was super helpful and although the guest house doesn't look much on the outside sandwiched between a mobile phone shop and a kebab shop it's extremely clean and had everything I needed. There was coffee/tea/milk, a fridge, a TV and a clean shower with towels. The only downside was I had to park 3 miles outside of Leicester and get the bus in as there is no parking for the hotel but it wasn't too much of a problem as the bus stop was located outside. A compact room but exactly what I needed.
