Hotels near VS Memorial Garden, Leicester

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.

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.

Location was great for a quick overnight stay with access to Clarendon Park. Booking and organisation good. Free parking a bonus as not always available in Leicester hotels. Breakfast was good. We booked a executive room. Plenty pf space and clean bathroom. Unfortunately the bed was really uncomfortable. We just felt the whole experience was bit over priced (we paid £124 for a double room).

Most things about this apartment are great - easy access, right next to a supermarket, clean and spacious room. Nice communal area and kitchen with breakfast food and coffee machine. The person at the front desk was friendly and helpful. Wifi worked well. Was notified that housekeeping is every 4 days. Easy 10 minutes on the bus from Leicester station/city centre. I would recommend bringing noise-cancelling headphones if you are a light sleeper. It is next to a busy road and the walls are VERY thin. I was kept up on several nights by the person in the next room snoring, shouting over the phone at 6am, and listening to loud music throughout the night. Not the hotel’s fault and hopefully not a fixture, but given the other reviews, bring headphones!

The lady by the name Hannah was so kind and helpful. She arranged an early breakfast for our team and we really enjoyed the stay.

I stayed at the Marriott for business and was there for 3 nights. It was the first time I’d stayed there and on arrival the reception was pretty basic with very little information shared about the hotel. It set the tone for my stay: The room was ok but tired. There was no soap in the bathroom and there were hairs on the floor. That said it was vey quiet and the bed was very comfortable My keycard wasn’t enabled for the executive lounge which was part of the package with the room I had paid for. This was an oversight on the unwelcoming arrival. I’d asked for the room to be cleaned each day. This happened the first two days and on the third it didn’t. I had no clean glasses or water in the room which then led me to get passed to and fro from reception to the bar until someone was prepared to give me a clean glass and a bottle of water. The restaurant was busy and they were understaffed. My food arrived before my drink and when it did arrive the glass had a large crack all the way round. It would have been nice to not have to wait 20 mins for a drink too. The wifi in the hotel, including the executive lounge, was very poor and the phone reception was so bad I had to sit in my car to make calls. Not acceptable for a hotel offering business services. I spoke with the duty manger the morning I left to provide feedback as I didn’t want to just leave without saying anything (I’d tried to speak to reception about a couple of the issues while I was there but was given no help). The lady I met was nice and did apologise and she took my email and said she would speak to the manager and come back to me. 3 full days later and not a word which doesn’t give me confidence for their customer service and things improving for future stays. On a positive note the bar and restaurant staff (except the lady on the restaurant reception) were very polite and helpful despite being run off their feet. A big shout out for Lenka too in the Executive lounge. She was the best ambassador for the hotel by far. I am in Leicester once a month now with a new job and despite the Marriott being the closest hotel, I won’t be staying there next time after my experience and their seeming lack of interest in my experience as a customer.

Now the OYO Blaby Hotel. In would have given a higher score but they don’t yet have a restaurant. However they are soon opening a South Indian restaurant which will be a real improvement. The front of the hotel needs some renovation as do the garden areas around the car park but work seems to be underway. The staff were very friendly and helpful with our early check in. We had room 31 which is a family room. It was very big with a TV lounge area and double bed, a big ensuite bathroom and a separate area with two single beds. It was a bargain as we paid £90 for three of us. Although it doesn’t currently have a restaurant it is next to a Chinese restaurant and very close to the Old Vicarage pub which serves food plus several good cafes in Blaby who serve breakfast. There is also a well equipped gym in the hotel included in the room price. An absolute bargain.

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.

The hotel is a university hotel which is relatively close to the school. It takes about 30 minutes to walk to the town. The bed is comfortable and the sanitation is relatively clean. It is not very convenient. It can only be used in the hotel or the dining hall next to the hotel. Generally speaking, it is still Quite satisfactory.
