Guest Reviews
- Alice (2/5): The worst hotel I have ever been too. - Rooms were dirty and stank of stale cigarettes, had the smell of weed coming under my door from my neighbours, beds were rock solid and stank of fags, neighbours were loud throughout the night, sick in the hallway in the night, not cleaned until morning as no staff work here after 5pm. We booked for 4 nights only stayed 2 because we couldnt wait to get out of there. The hotel has been turned into a homless hostel with clientele that have absolutely no respect for the property or other tennants. I feel sorry for the owner in all honesty. Also 99% sure the cleaners are smoking in the rooms as they're cleaning them as the smell was so fresh in one of the rooms that was being cleaned when we arrived. Do not stay here, you will feel safer and cleaner on the street.
- Riyadh (2/5): - The plumbing work was poor and the sink kept making loud noises all night. The best sheets were dirty. The window was broken and would not close and it was freezing cold. There was noise all night
- Fiona (8/5): - Good location for walking around central Leicester. The proprietor was very pleasant and helpful. The apartment was clean with well equipped kitchen. Convenient for a two night stay. Utility rather than luxurious.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good stay at apartment - The apartment room was conducive and adequate for temporary stay. The availability of utensils made it easy to prepare meals in the apartment.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Pftt - Dirty side tables. Said cap parking on site but then realised its 12 pound on top to park there, people running about shouting all night so barely had any sleep.
- Adebola (10/5): - staff are very welcoming and helpful
- Kate (2/5): - The property was very noisy at night with screaming and shouting, we got up at 7 and vacated the property as bed was uncomfy with only 1 pillow per person
- Tannis (6/5): - Very noisy and we could not find parking that would take our payment
- Verified traveler (2/5): Desappointed - It’s about all the surrounding, it’s unsafe for a family or kids, please avoid unless your desperate. Lots of drug dealers and dodgy people there asking me where to find drugs. I trusted hotels.com but now I’m very not sure about your ratings and I genuinely don’t understand how this place can have a 7/10.
- India (2/5): - No towels, one set of cutlery for four people, fighting and yelling on the street every night, no laundry powder/liquid. Expensive parking which wasn’t even secure. Three paper thin pillows provided, only one toilet roll for a week stay.
- Stuart (8/5): - Good value city centre apartment. Check in was very easy and receptionist was friendly and helpful. Parking available, although costly. No wifi though.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Decent basic accommodation - Room as expected for the price, clean enough and everything in working order. Convenient location, easy to come and go as you please, staff were nice and helpful. Would have liked spare loo roll, towels and toiletries as one of everything wasn't enough for 3/4 days. Walls were very thin, doors slammed loudly and mattress was thin and bumpy, so sleep quality was poor.
- Mel (8/5): - Perfect location.2mins from centre. The woman receptionist was rude ignorrant and very abrupt. When the manage came in he couldnt have been more helpful
- Derek (10/5): Great location in the heart of city - Friendly helpful staff,give us information on local pubs and places to eat,etc, apartment got the essentials ie modern kitchen microwave, cooker oven, plates,spoons,fork,.included fridge tea,coffee, sugar, etc,information leaflets,maps, in reception ,ie will phone for delivery of take away food, Taxi,etc
- Tapiwa (10/5): Very Good - Very helpful staff and good accomodation.
- Olivia (6/5): Okay - The stay overall was fine for what we needed but the cleanliness wasn’t great. The halls smelt like smoke and weed to the extent it was almost intoxicating. Our apartment was okay, but we found brown splodges on the bath, bath Matt, one of the pillows and sheet. We did try to clean these purely for our own comfort in the cleanliness but still not great. Slightly noisy due to being on main road but wasn’t too bad. Good location for the town as well.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Terrible - AWFUL. Checked out early because the room was so bad and the ‘management’ promise a refund then when you chase it up they tell you they’ve not got time to deal with your query. Dirty rooms, poor communication, relocated when I arrived to check in to a different apartment block altogether - which they didn’t notify me about before arrival. AVOID!
- Conrad (8/5): - Clean and comfortable. I would stay here again
- Verified traveler (2/5): - There is no communication from the staff even though it is a serviced apartment they won't come for our need and also they charge for cleaning and the internet is very slow they providing. The other flatmates are very noisy and the fire alarms goes on many nights we are not able to sleep.
- Luke (10/5): Good price good value - All clean nice bathroom lovely sofa would recommend
- Verified traveler (6/5): not impressed - Was booked into room that was not what was paid for, took 45mins to get new room
- Charlotte (2/5): AVOID AT ALL COSTS - I have never checked straight out of anywhere before but I was in this property for less than an hour before I cancelled my stay and booked another hotel. On arrival the windows were wide open in the apartment and it was -1 outside so the room was freezing. The tiny little heater in the corner was not going to heat the room up enough to allow me to sleep in it. The place was very dirty, rubbish from previous people still in the bin, all cutlery and utensils dirty and the washing up equipment was all full of old food so wouldn't have helped clean. There were also no towels in the apartment so I was unable to have a shower. When I tried to call to ask about towels there was no answer. And no answer when I tried to call about checking out. Luckily hotels.com were kind enough to honour a refund for me as I was told by them that they contacted the property a number f times over a few days ad still got no response from them to issue a refund.
- Ruqiyah (10/5): - Amazing, spacious, clean and cosy will be returning soon very soon
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The flat and facilities are very good, and good value. The check-in experience was terrible. I was given a number to ring and left standing in the street for 20 minutes on hold - never answered. I managed to tailgate my way into the building where there was a deserted reception area - now worried I might be Thomas Cooked. Searching through emails I found mention of buzzing flat six, so went upstairs and knocked on door of flat 6 but no answer. About to give up when door opened on what turned out to be the office, so eventually was given key to flat. Lucky I decided to check fob would allow re-entry to building - it didn't. In the morning the boiler wasn't working so no shower. Won't be risking this again - shame, because the apartment itself was good.
- Saim (10/5): Great stay ! Recommend - The stay was really good , apartment also had Netflix which was really good !
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Well kept, clean, modern apartment. Very warm and comfortable. Would definately stay again.
- Mark (6/5): Showcase Apartments - Good location, could check-in early, greeted by friendly staff Room / bathroom was clean & tidy Kitchen had everything required (microwave / oven / utensils etc.) No parking with apartments, could park a few mins walk away - £20 for 24 hours Sofa bed had undersheet but no oversheet / quilt Double bed was lumpy Cooker had dirty / unwashed grill tray Fridge freezer needed defrosting
- Hanna (10/5): Good location and very comfortable - Very nice stay
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great studio flat with extra amenities that you wouldn’t usually get in a hotel room and added extras like tea and coffee in the room. Little bit tricky getting into the apartments but once in the guy was very helpful!
- Ayush Raj (4/5): Not a good place for a business visit - I had 2 issues, first there wasn't any WIFI in range (forget about connection issues), because of this I had use my mobile data for work and I ended up consuming all of it. Second the base of iron kept in the room was so dirty that it ruined my clothes.
- Ann (4/5): Disappointed - After being let in by the gentleman who met us there who was very polite and helpfully, we had to walk up the stairs as the lift wasnt working, we were let in to the apartment which was nice but the floor didn't look like it had been brushed properly as there was hair on the floor and in the bathroom. The reason why we booked the apartment was so we could cook our own food but with limited utensils no sharp knife and 2 very small pans and no tin opener we did manage but with difficulty. There were signs up stating to respect others sleeping but some chose every night to ignore the fact! The apartment was warm so had to have the window open which faced on to the car park where on both night there were young adults smoking cannabis which I could smell nearly all night and were constantly shouting and fighting with each other! I was so disappointed with my stay and would not stay there again or recommend it which is a shame as it was in the perfect location for everything.
- Jamie (10/5): - Very friendly would recommend it to family and friends defo staff are very welcoming and Sara was particularly helpful 😁
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Wasn't 100% clean
- Carol (2/5): - The staff helpful. Room smelled and there was hair in the bed and bathroom
- Jacqueline (8/5): Functional - It does what it says on the tin, it’s a place to sleep. To be fair, the bed was comfortable and both hubby and I slept well. It’s was a bit noisy during the night with people returning from the city centre, but nothing unusual for a Saturday night after a university graduation celebration. It was clean, functional, if a bit tired around the edges. It was in the process of being updated, but all staff were friendly and fresh clean towels were brought to us with a greeting by the manager.
- yeukai m. (10/5): Affordable accommodation - Good
- Heena (4/5): - We had booked the apartment for two nights for a wedding we were attending. On both nights we hardly slept due to all the noise within the building from other residents. The furnishings were nice but could have been much cleaner.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - I had paid for 'cheap but cheerful', knowing that the room would be simple and small. What I got was a building with an unsecured front door in a less-than-safe part of Leicester, a hallway that reeked of cigarettes like a 1970s working men's club and a room that - while perfectly adequate in most respects - also absolutely reeked of cigarette and marijuana smoke. I had to sleep with the window open on a freezing cold night, which then exacerbated the noise issues outside. I emailed Easy Lets *that night* and two weeks later have yet to receive even a basic response. NOT recommended.
- Gaurav (2/5): DO NOT STAY - This stay was atrocious, for a start there was no one to greet us to let us in the front door which meant I had to stay outside for around an 1hour, some woman finally came down and explained that there should be someone at the front desk but maybe has finished early, this made no sense and nor was acceptable, finally got taken to my room, and straight away there was a cigarette stench and a dirty food smell, the bed was broken in half as the metal inside was on the floor, i asked to be moved and the woman said shes going to get new keys, she went away and didnt come back, i rang over 30 times until she blocked my number and i also tried looking for her in the apartments, in the end i booked a marriot down the road. Please remove this from here
- Amir (10/5): Apartment - Great apartment! Friendly host!
- Tauseef (10/5): 10/10 - Great location and price
- Verified traveler (10/5): 🍾 - Great service from the time we checked in till checkout. 100% recommended. Clean too
- Liam (6/5): -
- Sam (4/5): - Communication was really bad not answering calls emails etc ,held my deposit for 8 days after i had an email confirming room was left ok , wifi didnt work mattress was awful, bolt on room door didnt work
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good - Working in city centre good location next to shops doesn’t actually look like an apartment block from outside but once inside clean tidy nice change to hotel room
- Ciaran (10/5): Perfect - Everything was perfect
- Toshmah (6/5): - The newly renovated flats met our expectations but the close proximity to the motorway and nearby hospital made the flat a bit noisy, especially at night.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Ran down and not what it says on the tin - The lobby is lovely however there is no lift as listed on the website. The staircase and rest of property is run down. The rooms are basic at best. Broken wine glass in the freezer, windows need a clean, you can hear all the traffic of Vaughan way all night. The deposit is charged per person not per room as listed on this site. Be careful when booking via 3rd party site as when you arrive to the property they will tell you you have to pay more as Expedia doesn’t allow u to select how many people are staying but they charge per person despite having a sufficient sized room. Would not recommend staying here.
- Jim (6/5): OK all round - Nice apartment. Good facilities. Approach to room needs TLC. Check in ok. Area good.
- Gillser (6/5): Central but basic - Central location close to city centre and convenient to DMU and football ground. Room clean and staff friendly and accommodating. Building also houses students so noisy Friday/Saturday night.
- Ben (8/5): Friendly staff- very helpful - Traveling with work, the apartment was local to the town centre. The staff were very accommodating. Thank you :)
