Leicester Hostels

As a hotel owner I’m always very sceptical when staying elsewhere. The Ramada Encore was spotless, something which is usually a major concern for me. The bed was comfortable, the shower was lovely with great water pressure. Check-in and check-out were seamless, staff were very friendly and accommodating regarding my late check-in and request for a later check-out. Breakfast options were great for the average person, but as someone that eats low carb I was limited, but knew this when I paid for it, plenty of food available at the buffet though. There was a little noise from drunk people passing by on the street but it was a Friday night so not the hotel’s fault and didn’t last very long. No noise whatsoever indoors. Overall, very pleased with my stay, great value for money.

Premier Inn City Centre is just next to the train station and it’s very convenient. Decent room size and the couch is good where you could seat on and enjoy the view of the Leicester City Centre. The room is clean and bed is comfortable. Hot and continental breakfast options just pay when you walkin. I will definitely return to Premier Inn for my next trip to Leicester. Highly recommend this hotel to friends.

So I booked this for an overnight stay for our first anniversary. Plumped for the executive room with a king-size bed, stocked bar, and breakfast. The room was lovely and clean. But I noticed that the fridge only had water, but speaking to Clare in front of house promptly solved the situation with housekeeping coming up to stock the fridge. Also a little later to give us a shower curtain ( I hadn't even noticed it wasn't there). Nice kettle and tea and coffee, didn't use it but it was there. Did notice a hairdryer, use the robes and slippers and the iron. Breakfast was great with four non dairy milk options my only complaint as someone with a dairy allergy and not an eater of pork. Was that after paying for breakfast my choice was very limited to just cereal, some mushrooms, tomatoes and baked beans. Would suggest some vegan sausages, turkey bacon, tofu scramble on the menu as well as dairy free spread and cheese. But it was a lovely stay, amazingly friendly staff

It is a pretty standard Novotel. It was clean and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is good and fairly central. It was just over £200 for a Saturday night which was dear for a hotel of this standard but I do appreciate the economics of supply and demand. Overall would use again if in Leicester

We stayed at this hotel as a couple as we were attending an event at the rugby stadium, which is literally 30 seconds walk away. The room was absolutely spotless! Well kept and had everything we needed and more, hairdryer that actually dried my hair, iron/board, fridge, safe, kettle, even a posh coffee machine. The bathroom, well wow, it is a little small but to be honest, not too small. The shower, wow, there was a hole in the shower door so you could start the shower from the outside! It was also a handy hole for reaching my toiletries. The TV was great and room service was reasonably prices and pretty speedy! All of the staff we had contact with were friendly and looked happy to be there!! I've stayed in hotels from Fiji to Blackpool, from Glasgow to New Zealand and this rates in the top! We will definitely be staying here again.

I stayed here in April 2022, and I forgot my ring which is of much sentimental value to me. As I live in Scotland, I did not find the time to come collect it during the months that followed the stay. I managed to go back today (2 October), was greeted and welcomed very warmly by Nadine at reception, and told her about my ring. She went to the back and looked through everything she could find, and much to my delight my ring was still there and she found it for me! I am so happy, it made my day. Thank you Nadine!

Receptionist was very nice and helpful. Hotel is clean and comfortable. Don't expect too much as you get what you pay for. Key thing is hotel was what we expected and was a nice stay. Good location as very close to city centre and Abbey Park which is worth a visit

This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I was really reluctant to write this review as everyone I spoke to at the hotel during my stay was helpful and friendly, the staff there were top. However after complaining about the stay when checking out, again the woman I spoke to was lovely but said a manager would need to get in touch. It’s been four days and the owner/manager hasn’t. I gave them the opportunity to get in touch and see what went wrong, now I just need to be honest about the stay. This was the worst night sleep I ever had, in a hotel or otherwise. We paid for a suite, so one of the nicest rooms in the hotel. However from the moment we got in the room it was unbearable. The heat in the room was like being in a sauna - that isn’t an exaggeration. We went around the room to see if there were any radiators on that we didn’t spot! Unbearable. There is no air conditioning in the room just a tiny fan left on the side for us to use. That provided no relief. Maybe your thinking open a window, they are prevented from opening more than a few inches. So we were just stuck in this unbearable room with no alternative. In order to get the 2 hours sleep I did get that night. I had to get up and stand in a cold shower multiple times. This was a stop on a road trip my wife and I were having for our honeymoon. I rated all the other hotels 5 star they were amazing. This put a real downer in our otherwise perfect trip. I was embarrassed picking this hotel to stay in as one of our stops. Avoid it like the plague.
