Great location for our trip

Great location, easy free parking, they had provided items that were not always available in much more expensive rooms. We will stay again if we are in the area.

Great price, lovely room.

Really pleased with this place. Massive, clean room. Easy to retreive keys. Car park information was conflicting, said midday the day before and 10.30 in the room info. Thank you for the fan it was much needed.

The property is not staffed, I arrived and my room key was not there, turned out my room was already booked and someone in it. No alternate rooms in this or sister hotel. Not at toy by them to help find another hotel. Not heard directly from the hotel to apologise or arrange refund / compensation. All round poor.

Good overall room i would go back .

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.

Fantastic value for money

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!

Pain in the back side, when no reception. Probably my fault for not reading full script. Codes for doors and parking night mare, so spent ages waiting for help. Will be staying in a proper hotel next time. And by the way, room was not that clean or what I had hoped for.

Too much noise during the night

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.

A Room in the City

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 💯❤️

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.
