Stunning hotel and staff are friendly and really helpful. It was perfect for my stay as I traveled up by coach which is a 15 minute walk and went home by train 7 minutes walk. It’s dead in the centre of Leicester and you can get to everything you need. My only complaint is when you end up at the back end of the hotel there is a bar which stays open until 2am and it can be noisy but other than that it’s a great place to stay and worth every penny.

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.

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.

I’ve booked two standard for a trip in April 26. On arrival, we were given a family room and informed that that was the last room they had available. Entry into the room electrics in did not work it was cold with one bed settee prepared and a double bed. Upon complaint and insistence that our original booking was two standard. And given our health condition that’s the reason we chose the option after a healthy discussion and pointing out our health needs. An indicating that “Grand” should be dropped from “ The GrandHotel. As the price is charged did not show the services and the quality of the room. We were given the two standard bedroom that we booked for originally. It was explained that the Hotel was going through renovation and had limited option to offer. Considering our booking was done in April and our day was in October 26. There was no prior warning of any changes until we arrived at the hotel. Next day we had a nice breakfast thanked the manager and left. If we’re given the original booking initially We would’ve had a pleasant experience and a positive regard for the desk staff. Be mindful, it’s old Hotel going through renovation an updates to modernise.

Room and bathroom was clean, a bit small for a family room. once the sofa bed was made up we couldn’t use the chairs with coffee table. The linen and towels weren’t refreshed and just folded and put back for re-use which we didn’t like at all. The bed was “made” but not cleaned before tidying it. Please keep an eye on both of these if you are fussed about the “hotel” experience. Our room was not hoovered during our stay. Paid a premium price for a 4 star local hotel, then we paid extra for parking which really should have been free for guests staying more than 2 nights at least! Parking is onsite and leads straight into reception which was good. Lots of places to eat on the hotels doorstep. However, it was extremely noisy until late at night. We were woken up very early on our first morning, to the loud sounds of scaffolding being removed from the front of the Hotel. There was no pre-warning of this noise pollution and they could have started later than 7 in the morning to remove it! That was very annoying. The hotel was nice but only for 1/2 nights because of the noise and cleaning issues.

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.
