Guest Reviews
★★★★★
A delightful stay for myself and a former Leicester workmate up from London for a reunion. The location could not have been better – extremely close to Leicester’s city centre. The early morning cuppa was welcome but my friend and I enjoyed exploring the city’s restaurants for a full breakfast. We were extremely grateful to for the apartment manager’s patience and understanding.

My favourite accommodation in Leicester so far. The flat itself is gorgeous and the location is very ideal as it is near the city centre. They furnished it with everything one could need for a few days stay, cookware, cutlery and very generous with coffee tea, etc. also love the quality beddings and the number of pillows.
