Limited on site parking so plan ahead. Also during match days the hotel restaurant was overwhelmed and service did suffer.

The room was excellent, comfortable and everything you would need. The hotel is within the Uni campus and a short drive into thectown centre. The spa facilities were excellent we enjoyed the steam room, sauna, pool and jacuzzi. The changing rooms are well equipped. Great relaxing stay.

Great place to stay right in the centre of Leicester. The rooms are updated, modern and very comfortable. Parking is available on site at the back of the hotel. Breakfast was excellent with a lot of variety of high quality food to choose from. Highly recommended.
