Premier Inn Leicester City Centre hotel

I was strangely excited to stay here because i thought i would have a great view over the city. unfortunately i got a third floor room with a view onto an office block. after the crushing disappointment of that (nobody's fault, obviously) everything was fine. the decor of the room felt dated, but it was very clean, warm and quiet. for the price, it was a bargain, and the breakfast was generic but good.

Fast check-in & check-out experience. friendly and helpful staff. superb location: just by the side of the train station and only couple of minutes walk from the city centre. there are local supermarkets, coffee shops, food, snack shops and restaurants in very close proximity of the hotel. the rooms are pretty clean and tidy, however, the bathroom was a little bit outdated. the beds were comfortable and completely fine even for longer stays. on-site food and drink facilities and 24 h front desk are also at disposal of the travellers, therefore i can recommend this place for short- and medium length stays.

I stayed there for one night in a double room with queen size bed. it cost me 50 pounds but the check in time is 3pm. if you want to checkin early then you need to pay 10 pounds extra. the location is nice and next to the station and walking distance to city center. it is open 24/7. the room was clean also. you can not open windows in the room. there is inbuilt ac and heater, you can adjust the temperature from 18 to 30 degrees. there was bath tub as well. but the cupboard was open. moreover there was a strange pillar in my room, not sure what was that. there is tv in the room but there is no intercom. i didn't book the breakfast.

Great hotel. great service and lovely rooms. great for families, couples, and business. spacious rooms with incredible beds, so you always have a great sleep. reception and restaurant staff are polite and friendly.

I often use premier inns when on rail based holidays and i selected this hotel because of its proximity to the railway station. it was very convenient for the station and the city centre. the weakness of this hotel is the room layout. my room had a door to the adjoining room. the door was thin and failed to act as soundproofing. on two nights different sets of occupants next door kept up noisy conversations and played music far into the night. if the room had solid walls and no door it would have been fine. as it was, i was sleep deprived the next day. so, on balance, i would advise against using this particular premier inn.
