Hotels near Blaby Library, Leicester

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.

There's no way anyone could feasibly give Glenfield Lodge 5* and I'm sure the owners don't even strive for that. It's less than a mile from the city centre and is basic - it's mainly used by companies to accommodate construction workers during the week. The room had a working basic TV, kettle, and sink. The toilet and bathroom (both very clean and functional) were at the end of the passage. The building is tired internally. No doubt about that. It is a place just to sleep but - here's the rest of it. The gentleman on duty was polite, friendly and thorough. Even though we were only staying for one night we were treated very well. The beds and bedding were clean and very comfortable. To our surprise, it was extremely quiet. Either no one stats there at the weekends or the residents are very considerate. And now the biggest thing - £37 for a twin room booked only a few days in advance. Incredible value for money.

Enjoyed a great stay check in was painless as the staff were professional & polite. The studio room was very clean & had microwave,cooker hob & fridge which would be handy if you were staying for a while. Wi-Fi was good.

I was spending the weekend with my friend and travelling by motorbike. I was worried about leaving my bike on the street so I rang in the morning and they assured me there would be somewhere secure for me to leave my bike. Sure enough, upon arrival the guy was waiting for me with the gate open to park my bike behind the hostel. He took me through to the reception and although I did not eat or drink, the hostel was very cosy, quiet and everything in the city was easily accessible on foot. For the price the room was spacious, well equipped with a tv and sink, clean and comfy. When I checked out they let me leave my luggage, leathers and bike gear for hours while I had lunch. Outstanding service, excellent value for money. Would recommend and would stay again.

We had our wedding at The City rooms Leicester this past weekend. Right from the sales with Naomi and to the very end, it was as beautiful as we imagined. Olivia was just exceptional through the whole process of planning, changes and so many adjustments to the plan. She was ever so professional and so calming which is what you need with wedding stress. On our special day, Olivia was so reassuring and made sure everything was so perfect. Our guests kept complementing on the food and the venue. We are so thankful and would recommend the city rooms to our family and friends.

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

Hotel rooms small but spotless. Desk staff were amazing. Of all hotels I've ever stayed in these guys were so polite helpful and pleasant. Couldn't praise them enough. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone needing to stay in the area. Cheap and cheerful.

I went to see a child studying at Loughborough University. I saw this hotel on Ctrip. I placed an order directly. I was a little worried. I didn't expect everything would be convenient after I arrived. Then I continued to stay for another day.

Visited for 1 night mid week in the middle of February. On the room booking I added that we’d like to eat in the restaurant at about 6pm and that we’d require gluten free options at breakfast as my partner is coeliac. Check in was simple and as I was about to ask about dinner I was told we had a table at 6 booked for us. The room was big and has plenty of space, comfy bed and a decent tea and coffee selection is provided. Excellent dinner in the evening with plenty of gluten free options across the menu. Breakfast was where it stepped up even further. You get a standard buffet style continental breakfast with plenty of choice of pastries, cereals, fruit, meats and cheese. But on the table was an extensive selection of gluten free pastries and cereals all covered ready for us. We will be returning whenever we’re visiting the Town Hall
