I came here for a week-long conference over the summer, when the Uni was empty of students and the…read moreconference centre was pretty much shut except for us. I didn't stay in Burleigh Court, and most of the conference events were across the street at the Imago facility, but we did have a few meals and get-togethers at Burleigh. The interior is pleasant, and since it was a conference I made a bee-line for the bar in the middle of it. Comfortable couches, big-screen tele with the sport of the day on. Drinks were a bit pricey, but you're not going to get much other selection within a couple miles so you might as well bring your wallet. Dinners here were quite good. Each meal we were served as a conference was three-course, with a veggie option for those so inclined. I'm a meatatarian, so opted for some good animal deliciousness, and each time it was cooked perfectly. Served with some veg and gravy on the side, and followed by a light dessert. The staff were friendly through the handful of interactions I had with them. One night, we stayed at the bar until 6 a.m.; they shut down and stopped serving drinks long before that, but staff never asked us to leave or made us feel as though we had to vacate the area. It helps that it's an open floor plan like a lobby, so it's not like shutting down a proper bar where they need to ask everyone to go home. I didn't stay in the hotel here, as it's quite expensive (they were looking at over £100 per night; Ramada in the city centre was half that price), but if it was being paid for by me I'm sure I would have enjoyed it a bit more. Plus, it'd be conveniently located next to the convention centre if that's what you're staying for.

Good location if you are working on Loughborough campus…read more I stayed in the annex, single room with bathroom and was clean and tidy. Tea and coffee facilities in the room and toiletries in the bathroom. My annex room was a bit cold and there was quite a draft coming in but once I cranked up the heating and shut the blinds, the room was bearable. I didn't eat in the restaurant apart from breakfast. Lot of choice for breakfast (continental, cereals, full English) which was included in my room rate. Food cooked well and gluten free toast was available. Didn't use the leisure facilities but there's a gym, pool and spa. I didn't manage to get booked in for a spa treatment so you'd be best to book this in advance. It can be busy as multiple training and conferences going on so I suspect it can be hard to get spa appointments same day. I'd happily stay here again as no issues. Go out the back of the hotel to get the yellow bus that takes you around campus for free so that's handy!

Please do not deal with this hotel OR the Talash Hotels brand. They lie and are dishonourable. My…read morehusband and I had a very rare night away together and the photo of the deluxe king room at the Quorn Country Hotel looked lovely on booking.com so I booked the room for the 22nd February and chose to pay upon arrival. Once I had paid we were directed to our room and were bitterly disappointed to see that the room was grossly misrepresented on the website. There were no curtains, no seating area, no hot drink making facilities, the window sills were filthy, flaked paint from the ceiling on the carpet, the pillows were so overused they were flat, the shower curtain was stained brown around the bottom and the shower hooks were rusty. The toilet was virtually impossible to flush. The list goes on. Not only was the room nowhere near worth £100, it shouldn't even be available for a paying guest. We took our cases down to reception and very calmly and politely informed the staff that we couldn't stay in a room of that standard. The gentleman on reception apologised several times and informed us that he would start the refund process and it could take up to 7 days. So 3 months later after chasing the hotel, booking.com and Talash Hotels (who apparantly own the Quorn Country Hotel) we still have no refund. Talash Hotels totally ignore any communication from us AND the hotel and booking.com don't want to know. So now we are starting legal proceedings to obtain the refund that we were told on several occasions by the hotel (by emails and verbally) that we would be receiving. All they had to do was the right thing and just give us our money back. I can only give the worst review of this hotel and the dishonest people who own it and warn potential customers to go further down the road and book into the Quorn Grange Hotel instead, which is what we had to do. Funnily enough the staff there seemed to already know how below standard the Quorn Country Hotel is.

Quorn Country Hotel is located in Quorn on the outskirts of Loughborough and close to Leicester…read more It is a very old hotel which you can immediatly tell it has a history behind it. The grounds around the hotel are superb with very posh gardens and a lake at the bottom of them. They hold many functions such as wedding receptions for which I have been to 2. The quality of these functions are superb and highly recommended to all. The drinks are expensive as you would expect but it has a big car park out the back and the rooms are very posh inside.

Looking for somewhere to stay on the cheap(ish) in Loughborough, I scanned a few travel sites and…read morecame across Ramada. For about £50 per night, it's a pretty decent value. You could get cheaper just down the road at Travelodge, but a few mates of mine stayed there and said it was quite noisy at night and they were woken up...not me, in my surprisingly comfy bed at Ramada. It isn't that impressive from the front, and the views aren't anything to shout about, but what would you expect from a small town like Loughborough anyways? The staff were very friendly and receptive. My wake-up call seemed to vary a few minutes here and there depending on the morning, but it wasn't a big issue. They also offer breakfast if you want to pay a bit extra for it, but if not there are plenty of places nearby to grab a bite of eat for just a couple quid. Located right in the middle of the city, I was able to walk everywhere from Ramada. I was at a conference at the far end of the uni, so that was about a 2-mile trek, but that's not so bad. If you're more of a bus person, the hotel is just next to the bus stop as well. It's kept clean and tidy. You can tell the construction is a bit of an older-style, due to the plethora of stairs scattered randomly throughout the building (I walked up and down 4 or 5 small sets of stairs to get to my room), but if it's really that much of an inconvenience for you I'm sure you could request an easily accessible room. Doesn't take that much effort, though. I don't know if I'll ever be returning to Loughborough, but if need takes me back I know I'll be staying at the Ramada.

The price was right; the rooms of reasonable size, though beds and decor rather dated and worn out. What was unacceptable was lack of hot--or even warm--water for morning showers. I doubt it was because other guests used it all up. It certainly woke me up to take a cold shower/washcloth bath. I told the blond female clerk about lack of hot water when returning the key; she seemed not interested or even offered any explanation or acknowledgement of an issue.
