Top Cultural Quarter Hotel Reviews

ibis Leicester City

10/10 Excellent

"I thought the breakfast was good and made the stay much more value for money."

Burleigh Court Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really smart hotel downstairs, reception and bar / restaurant are very nicely done. Rooms seem slightly outdated compared to the hotel itself but pretty good otherwise. No a/c though so it means the rooms are very warm. Shower had a bizarre layout too with water pressure not very strong so it dripped onto a metal shelf below the head. I’d stay again if I were in Loughborough though."

The Grand Hotel Leicester by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Room and bathroom was clean, a bit small for a family room. once the sofa bed was made up we couldn’t use the chairs with coffee table. The linen and towels weren’t refreshed and just folded and put back for re-use which we didn’t like at all. The bed was “made” but not cleaned before tidying it. Please keep an eye on both of these if you are fussed about the “hotel” experience. Our room was not hoovered during our stay. Paid a premium price for a 4 star local hotel, then we paid extra for parking which really should have been free for guests staying more than 2 nights at least! Parking is onsite and leads straight into reception which was good. Lots of places to eat on the hotels doorstep. However, it was extremely noisy until late at night. We were woken up very early on our first morning, to the loud sounds of scaffolding being removed from the front of the Hotel. There was no pre-warning of this noise pollution and they could have started later than 7 in the morning to remove it! That was very annoying. The hotel was nice but only for 1/2 nights because of the noise and cleaning issues."
