Middle of the town so good for food etc..... parking was good i did struggle to find it, even when i got the map , probably just me ….. Room was clean and tidy, nice big smart TV , good coffee machine bed was comfy, shower / bath could do with a slip mat but all in all it was fine. I stayed in room 4 which was up a few very steep stairways i would not recommend if you struggle physically to be honest.

A beautiful, peaceful stay! So much space and goregous natural light streaming through sash windiws in the morning. The rooms are in an historic, listed building, so there are quirks and without the radiators it can be chilly, so if staying in the winter months consider bringing a cosy dressing gown to wrap up in, especially after a relaxing soak in the huge bathtub. The coffee machine and chocolates were a wonderful treat. As was waking up right in the city centre.

Wonderful stay. The room was as advertised; perfectly clean and tidy, short distance from the station, easy to locate keys for access. We were not expecting such a high standard for the low price, we would have liked to stay longer!

The rooms are very spacious, every detail was thought of, the room was lovely and warm when I arrived despite it being a lovely old building. I would highly recommend.

Gorgeous location in the heart of Leicester's city centre. I have been away on a business trip and am very pleased with my stay at the City Rooms. If I am ever in the area, I am definitely booking in again! Thank you.

The room is big as well as the bathroom. Free parking onsite was a bonus. What I really don’t like is below our window they loaded after a party in the hotel, a van until 2am which made us not being able to sleep. This should not be allowed by the hotel.

The room was great, comfortable and clean but unfortunately the sash windows are loose so were rattling loudly throughout the night so I couldn't get any sleep. I contacted the hotel to see if anything could be done to compensate but was told that because it's a grade 2 building it's a characteristic of the accommodation. What I would suggest is putting some wooden wedges around the window frame to eliminate the movement. If it wasn't from the noisy windows preventing me from getting to sleep I'd give this hotel 5 stars.

Amazing stay at The City Rooms. This hotel is centrally located and fabulous if you're looking to stay in Leicester city centre. There is free parking available, which we used, and it really couldn't have been easier. The room is absolutely huge, shame it didn't have a super king size bed, this is what I'm used to at home, as there is ample space to accommodate one. The bathroom was massive and very clean. It was beautiful to wake up to sunshine coming through the sash windows. Will definitely stay again 💯❤️

Great location for Richard III exhibition. Hopeless check in and hopeless communication.

The property was lovely. The room was very spacious including the bathroom. The bath was amazing! The only issue was that the tv signal was very bad, even on the apps. It was reported to staff who said that maintenance would call but no-one came to fix it! Could possibly do with a new mattress as the right side was dipped. Apart from that it was a lovely place.

The room was nice and clean and was pretty spacious with plenty of daylight. The location is very central so the included parking is essential. I'd describe this as basic accommodation as it's a wedding venue. When there is no event they let out the rooms but with no staff on site or any of the usual hotel facilities. Entry instructions are emailed the day before your stay - beware Google mail send this to spam. Access to the rooms is up several flights of steep stairs so unsuitable for those who struggle with this.

Only enough hot water for one person to shower and the bed was disappointingly small considering the size of the room.
Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023

8/10

It was unusual staying in an unmanned property as there are no staff on site and no other guests staying so we had the whole building to ourselves. The main areas are more old-fashioned but the rooms are modern, clean and well equipped. The shower was fab! However, there were a few stains on the chair and bed frame that could have done with some attention. Great location for City Centre and good value. If you’re a light sleeper, like me, the clock tower opposite does chime regularly throughout the night so the earplugs provided were needed! Would stay again.

Unable to find the car park for free parking. Went round and round Leicester but to no avail. Therefore we had to pay for parking some distance from the site which caused us issues as we both have issues walking
