Excellent instructions on how to enter the City Rooms and your bedroom. Lovely room and bathroom, plus excellent facilities and provisions ie fridge, kettle, coffee maker, tea, coffee, milk etc.
Fantastic location, a minute walk from the gig I was attending, especially being alone.
Overall, excellent value for how much it cost to spend a night at The City Rooms.
Would highly recommend.
The only downside was the workmen starting at 7am in the car park after a late night out, but that will be temporary anyway, so not really a big issue.
9.0 / 10.0
Nice big room, big bathroom, extremely clean.
Very quiet apart from the outside bell which didn't bother me.
Very comfortable bed
Shops walking distance, which was great as I had to park away from hotel
Steep stairs, knew that before booking but these were very steep.
No parking, even though i called and asked but was later advised due to maintenance there was no parking had to park 7 minutes away.
View of other building's from my window, I kept the blinds down lol

Great location. Large rooms
No lifts. The staircase is dangerous to take luggage up to the room.. Parking is easy. But then finding the accommodation after parking is very confusing. Shower is risky for seniors. Very noisy location.

Very central, considering this, the room was quiet. Rooms are at back of the building, up lots of stairs. Self service Keycode was incorrect, so luckily I got hold of the sister property who soon gave us correct number for key. Unfortunately we had inconsiderate, noisy neighbours above. Room was perfectly acceptable, would use again.
Shower screen leaks. Fabric bed needs a clean and a proper mattress, not a foam one, but ok for one night

Spacious, literally spotless, easy to self check in. Absolutely beautiful inside in Reception and had a sneaky peek at the wedding room, just WOW.
Heard nothing from other guests despite them being above us and lovely shower.
Good facilities, including a fridge!
Slightly strange smell when we just got into the room, but not offensive, might benefit from a nice plug in like downstairs.
Vertigo on the stairs as they are narrow, the railing is low at the top and a bit rickety but that's not the owner's fault, it's the charm of the building.
Mattress not for me, its totally foam, so I ended up rolling to the edge in the night.
Was a bit warm in the night so could benefit from sheets so you can take off the duvet.

Big rooms, great location
No staff to help. Self-check in details were not sent until the day of check in, which left me stressed we would not gain access

Its centre location
Parking was very tight and we were blocked in by a staff member who we couldn’t find for a long time

The bed was comfortable and the shower was great.
The communal areas could do with some TLC, faded elegance.

Central location, private car park which was highly appreciated in this busy city. Communication was brilliant. The room was very comfortable.
Couldn't fault the place.

Location, distinctive character of the premises, roominess.
The windows rattled one night when it was windy, disturbing my sleep.

Location was incredible. We got married at the Town Hall that day, and it was perfect to be able to stay at the City Rooms and park. We got fresh milk from the kitchen too - thank you.
Amazing place, nothing we didn't like.

Lovely building, lots of space and comfortable - would have loved an easy chair and small table !

It was central and close to my conference venue. It was clean. Getting into the venue and finding my key was easy. The room was huge and the bed was comfy.
There was no running hot water in the evening which was disappointing. The staircase to my room was steep and narrow which was hard to navigate with a big case.
6.0 / 10.0
Loved the central location, the allocated on-site parking space (tricky to find with Leicester hotels) and the historical building.
The climb up to the rooms is a bit tricky with bags/heavy case.
My room was absolutely freezing, despite off-site staff “boosting” it for me, it was left on for an hour and the radiator needed bleeding. Had to get under the duvet in the eve for warmth!
Shower screen didn’t stay in place so water fell onto the floor.

The location was fantastic as we were visiting from London to see a show at the Curve Theatre. The hotel is a 6 minute walk to the theatre and a short distance to many restaurants and pubs, which we were very thankful for due to cold temperature! The instructions to find the hotel and carpark were clear and the check-in was very easy. The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom and bathroom were both extremely spacious.
Upon arrival, the keysafe for our room was open (not just unlocked, but hanging open). Our one set of keys was inside, but we were not aware if there was supposed to be a spare set and if this had been taken by someone else. Being two young women travelling together, this did cause us some worry. We latched the door overnight, and thankfully nothing happened, but as we were obviously sent the code to our room, we would've appreciated arriving to a locked keysafe for peace of mind if not for safety. The only other slight annoyance was that we had to vacate the carpark by check-out at 10:30. While I understand the need for space in the carpark for new hotel guests, the carpark itself was empty apart from my vehicle and one other. It would have been great if we were able to check out of the hotel and leave the car there for slightly longer, especially since the next guests wouldn't be checking in until 3pm anyway, but we unfortunately had to leave Leicester for London at 10:15 so as to not pay for onstreet parking while staying later to have a nice breakfast and explore the city as we had planned. If this is not at all possible, maybe advertising as such on the booking form would be good, as we could have planned our time better had we known before arrival that we would need to vacate the carpark by check out.

Superb location with great detail on parking (although name of the chicken takeaway has changed so had to circle block twice) - not a huge problem
Instructions emailed for gate, door access etc. clear and easy
Cleanliness - Bathroom floor not clean, also stairwell carpet was not hovered and stained
The Fireescape sign in the stairs had fallen down and just lying on the floor (also as a slip hazard ironically)

Good location, free parking
The check-in & booking process was shambolic, no-one answers the phones or replies to emails. The television didn't work in my room and the shower didn't work in my friend's room. Both rooms were dirty.

Location is the best thing about it
Dirty towels laid out for us. I had to solve the room networking issues to be able to access the internet. Non of the analog or digital tv channels were tuned in. Tuning failed on every attempt.

Reception area and front of building look very promising. Reception staff fabulous, friendly and welcoming.
- grubby, smelly in places, room huge but really badly done. definitely not worth £70. Won't be staying again sadly.

It was a great location, and comfortable room. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Parking difficult due to access works around. More instruction on how to get to the car park would have been useful. Didn't like the style interior and furniture. Access to the room was a bit tortuous with no lift and winding narrow stair. The bath/shower was very slippy and an additional grab rail would have been safer.

Secure parking
One way system and road works make finding the parking near enough impossible. Plus there is a coded gate, you need to check in before you get the code so you need to leave the car somewhere first.
There were no staff working.
I was let in after 30 minutes of knocking.
Wifi was down, internal network offered as solution, it was patchy.
There were no amenities what so ever.
The interior is so dated and impractical, common spaces between rooms feel like student accommodation.
Decor is tacky, crystal door knobs that aren't tightened, glittery pillows, laminate bathroom flooring and well used memory foam.
Save yourself the disappointment and stay in the Hilton.

Very cold, all fixtures poorly fitted, windows could not have been cleaned for years.

Staff made us feel very welcome, safe and comfortable during our stay last week. The hotels location is superb. All precautions in place for COVID-19 including hand sanitising, hotel was extremely clean and limited contact with staff. Bedroom was larger than most normal hotel bedrooms. Bed was extremely comfortable. Hotel has a small car park and directions to it very clear. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again after lockdown restrictions are lifted. Can highly recommend Knight and Garter, Giggling Squid, Kai, and Middleton Steakhouse which are all within walking distance - literally on the doorstep!
