Safe Move - 23 Lancaster House

Probably the best bit about the place was its location and its proximity to the train station, probably a 15-20 minute walk away. The bed was comfortable, the linen seemed clean. Oh, and the burger van across the street came in useful.

When I searched for a room in Leicester, this one came up. The price and location were okay, but I failed to read the reviews. Big mistake; not only should I read them, but I should heed them too. I didn't mind too much the fact that the place is only about 50mtr away from the main Leicester Fire Station. The bedroom was on the ground floor, right next to the window with the ill-fitting blind, so laying there with the light on was a no-no. The bathroom smelt damp and musky, the window didn't have privacy glass, and there was an ill-fitting blind in there too; there wasn't any complimentary shower gel, shampoo, or even any liquid soap in the dispenser. The noise and shouting from other people living/staying there was unbearable at 4 am until I left at 7 am. This is something that has been mentioned in previous reviews, which I found out too late. To be really honest and frank, if you're really, really desperate for somewhere to stay in Leicester then give this place a try, but not for me.

The bed was really small basically a big single and very uncomfortable the matress and pillows was disgusting, very cold inside and didn’t feel safe as the door didn’t seem secure

Close to the city centre

Smells of cigarettes and had pieces of hair on the bed

Nothing

Bed was unconfortable,dirt all over

Within walking distance to Leicester centre. Clean and tidy.

It was basic, to the point it was for 2 people but there was only one mug. There was nor even a quarter of a roll of toilet paper. We arrived at 10.20pm, text the next day and was assured cleaner would bring some, when we got back from our day put no toilet roll, so at 9.30pm, we had to go searching for stores to get toilet paper, on foot. There were only 2 pillows, one each and they were quite flat. We always use basic accommodation but these things were what you would expect in the most basic place.
