Very nice place to stay! And the breakfast it's awesome! They have a big english breakfast with…read morebacon,lot of types of eggs and toast!

It's a bit of a long walk but also a nice one if the weather is good for a traveler who wants to see the town and University en route to the hostel. I attended a great meeting there in April - the internet throughout the College Court had strong signals, and the meals were quite nice. We all felt a bit spoilt having table service arranged by the organizers for lunch and dinner - it gave us that much more time to talk with each other. I would gladly come back to the College Court. The only thing to keep in mind is that it's a bit of a trek to the better food in Leicester when one wants to eat out.

I stayed for one night in this "hotel" whilst visiting family. Having reached the age of 54 I have…read morestayed in many good and not so good establishments. I am usually only moved to write reviews when they are good but on this occasion I felt it was only right to warn others about this awful hotel. The place stank of cigarettes meaning that they were either not sticking to the legal requirements or that they had not cleaned the soft furnishings since these requirements came into being. The wallpaper was torm. The curtains falling off the window. It was not possible to open the window for much needed ventilation due to secondary double glazing. Even the bathroom smelt of smoke- it was like sleeping in an ashtray. There was no duvet although the sheets seemed clean. The top sheet was covered by a disgusting old blanket and on top of this was a dirty looking coverlet. This hotel has not been decorated since at least the 90's and I have no idea how it achieved 4 stars from the English tourist board. If it hadn't been late at night when I arrived then I would definately have looked elsewhere. The charge was £40 per night WITHOUT breakfast. There are much better hostels. I decided not to have breakfast as the smell of cooking oil from the kitchen was off putting. The landlady although co-operative was clearly unhappy receiving a late night arrival berating me for not phoning first despite the fact that her receipt had no phone number on it! If you are thinking of staying here- be warned!! I do hope the English tourist board will contact this awful version of Fawlty Towers! Mrs. G Davies
