Hostels w: Leicestershire, United Kingdom

The accommodation was clean, the usual kettle, coffee and Tea was provided. Water was provided via a carefree ( flip open bottle with a stopper ). Not sure the tap water in the room was safe but the water supplied was good which was handy as you could not fill the kettle from the wash basin , which was small in size. My room had a walk in shower but it was in the shape of a quarter circle with the doors closing in the centre. If you were a large person getting in or out it was a squeeze. Towels, soap and shampoo provided but the satchels were difficult to open. Scissors or a sharp knife would be needed or very strong fingers lol. The bathroom was clean however there was an aroma maybe from the stench pipe but all in all it met my needs. Access was from a side door which you could unlock with the keys given to you when you book in at the bar. Be mindful all rooms are one floor up, the stairs are steep with one handrail so if you are disabled don't book here. Zowie was the lady in charge, polite, helpful and freindly but sadly the opening times of the bar are limited. Open from 12 midday to 10pm Mon to Friday and longer on Saturday and Sunday. They obviously do a good Sunday lunch as I arrived Sunday and the place was heaving with customers. Never got a chance to sample their cuisine , breakfast was in a cafe about 2 minutes walk away. I was out early and back late hence I did not eat there. Parking is free, but if you arrive Sunday the carpark will be full up with hungry customers. There was a housekeeper who would tidy the room, change the towels but the bedlinen is not changed daily. Overall the stay there was good however as there is no breakfast included it borders on being a little overpriced.

What a little gem! The decor was superb. It has a pub that does meals so you don’t have to go anywhere once you have checked in if you don’t want to. The breakfast was lovely with a good selection Would definitely book again

The other guests were a bit noisy It would be an advantage to have usb ports I didn't receive my room number or code, but luckily, a gentleman helped out who was there

The hotel service is very good, the equipment is very new, and it feels safer than the other hotels in this time. The room is large, comfortable, and the location is good. It's not too far away if you drive.
