Spacious grand entrance, pleasant helpful reception staff. Room was of a good large size, modern, contemporary, clean with excellent facilities. 24-hour bar with good selection of drinks. Breakfast was exceptional with a wide range of choice and fresh produce of a high standard. The hotel exceeded all my expectations and would not hesitate to stay there again.

Yet another stay at this beautiful renovated city centre hotel. As always a very pleasant welcome on arrival and at check-in, plenty of easy parking (and not expensive). Beautiful spacious double room with en suite shower a bath and toiletries to hand, N/B no air conditioning presently, but given two large effective fans running through out the day to help maintain room airflow, room was serviced every day to maintain clean and crisp atmosphere. Breakfast served as a buffet along side a small A La Carte menu offering upgrades. Beautiful bar and reception area offering drinks or respite from city centre life.

Absolute stunning hotel. Lovely to see a hotel with so much history being restored. Currently going through refurb. Staff friendly. Breakfast amazing. Bedroom was small with no air con. Main elevator was out of order but you could use staff/service lift if needed. Car park at rear of hotel with reduced rates for hotel guests. Would definitely stay here again just not in the middle of a heat wave.

Fantastic hotel, with all it's history lovingly and sympathetically included in its design. The staff were brilliant- friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond for my partners Birthday, which was the reason for our stay. The room was spotless, well laid out, and the amenities were of a high standard. If we ever visit Leicester again, this would be my first choice of hotel.

Absolutely stunning hotel, very well looked after and well maintained. Great location in the city centre. Next to shops and restaurants. Parking was easy, just 2 min walk to hotel. Receptionists made you feel very welcome, very helpful and friendly. Hotel room was very nice and spacious, bathroom was stunning just a shame no bath but overall excellent. Breakfast was probably the best hotel breakfast we have had. The lady serving at breakfast was by far the best member of staff, her name was Ania. She was amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The only down side to our weekend was a function which started at 4pm Saturday which was so loud and made the bed and chairs feel the base of the music. I did ask reception cause the rest of the hotel seemed quiet! We were given the wrong room, right above the function room. It continued till 12:20 when promised it would stop at 12midnight. So if you are booking make sure you ask if there is a function and to be allocated away from it. Apart from that an amazing hotel and would stay again.

Location is in city center. Overall condition is not a good as I saw on picture. Elevator is not working so we had to carry luggage to our room (staff did say they can help). The carpet in public area is old and has smell. Room is ok but noise isolation is poor. Car park is small and £10 overnight. Staff is polite. Breakfast is good.

We had a really enjoyable stay at the Grand Hotel and would definitely return. Our room was exceptionally clean and clearly very well prepared—Kannika had done a fantastic job getting everything ready for our arrival. The room itself looked recently refurbished, with a fresh and modern feel that made it very comfortable. Despite being in the city centre, which can be quite noisy at night, we slept incredibly well. The windows did a great job of blocking out the outside noise, and we had two wonderfully restful nights with no disturbance from other guests either. Breakfast was another highlight of our stay. The cooked breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the service made it even better. The lady who served us, I believe her name was Anya, was delightful—friendly, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant, which made the experience even more enjoyable. There was a small inconvenience during our stay as the main lift wasn’t working, meaning we had to use the back lift. However, the reception team handled this very kindly by waiving the parking fee, which we really appreciated. It’s clear that the hotel is in the process of being updated. The main entrance and restaurant have been refurbished to a very high standard, while some areas like the corridors and staircases are still undergoing improvements. That said, this didn’t impact our stay at all, especially given how comfortable and well-finished our room was. Overall, a very positive experience—we would happily stay here again

We loved our stay. The breakfast was delicious, our rooms spacious. The only thing is the twin beds are 3ft not the standard single. They were a little small for us! Apart from that our dinner was lovely.

The lobby and rooms have been renovated really well. The hallways still require some work. Unfortunately a lot of the original windows seem to still be in place and don’t fully shut and seal given that the hotel is in the town centre. This can cause a lot of noise in the room during the night especially on Fridays and Saturdays. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again but I’ll bring earplugs next time!
