The primary reason for my visit was to attend my daughter’s graduation, so the rest of Leicester and its surroundings were secondary.

The Belmont Hotel has the potential to be a unique Boutique Hotel. It is situated in a conservation area and very well placed for everything Leicester has to offer. The cuisine - we had dinner - was VERY poor and over priced.
