"We were given a good welcome. Although evening meals are not served, there were some good restaurants nearby ( food was delicious at Chiakos). Room was spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast was perfectly adequate. Staff were friendly and helpful even though one had been on duty for many hours with only a few hours sleep! Highly recommended."

8/10 Good
"Nice welcome. Good price. Room a long walk from the lift on 4th floor. Clean, comfortable bed. Plenty of towels. Sadly there are no baths throughout the hotel. The TV menu did not work, only BBC worked but it pixelated. They offer ear plugs as not everyone likes city noises , I am surprised having stayed at Heathrow/Gatwick /Birmingham NEC hotels with double glazing blocking airport noises, that the traffic at the Northampton traffic lights etc was so close and was very prominent. I did not eat at the hotel or do breakfast as I was at a conference at a nearby hotel."

The Gresham Aparthotel

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at the Gresham Aparthotel was great! We stayed for one night, and as the price was so cheap, I was sceptical at first. However, it exceeded my expectations. The room was very spacious, modern and exceptionally clean. The hotel was right in the city centre, within easy walking distance of all the places we wanted to visit. The reception staff were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is above a bar, but it has a very quiet, chilled atmosphere, with mostly people working on laptops there. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Leicester. It was great value for money!"
