Great and convenient little hotel. Nothing fancy and beds are on the firm side, but would use again.

Athletes village is just next to our son's halls of residence so very very convenient. Parking was good. Staff, especially at check in, were lovely. Would definitely stay again.

The food was ok, but breakfast was overcooked. We found the bed too hard for our liking, but that could be just us. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful but the hotel could do with more staff. We had to wait for five minutes to check in because there was no one at reception.

This was a very nice hotel to stay in when visiting the University of Loughborough. It is right on the campus and has parking available. The staff were very friendly and helpful and I really enjoyed my dinner and breakfast. The room was large, airy and comfortable. It was inspiring to be dining with so many elite athletes too!

No hot water for a shower in the morning, only heat source in the room was a radiator, television did not work and there was no food available outside of the service times that you had to pre book for. Not great and will not stay again.

My stay was disappointing. The price was high and I was expecting more.
The staff & customer service was excellent.
Staff helped me with bags to my room and the room location was very near the room.
It was not an accessible room
I did not bring my scooter from the car.
I would say it was more of a hostel booking with individual rooms not shared rooms.
Breakfast was self service.

Stayed for one night prior to university interview. Perfect place to stay on campus. Parking space literally in front of hotel. Friendly gentleman on reception. Spacious twin room. Handy little shop 5 mins walk from hotel. Would definitely recommend. No complaints at all.

Very comfy bed in a large clean room. Thre are some specialist altitude ooms in this hotel, we had just a standard's room and I was surprised there wasn’t even air con in these.
Breakfast was very average and all decor is very basic. For an over night stay it was perfectly fine but there’s nothing special here so I wouldn’t recommend if you were on a treat. Over priced for whats on offer.

Absolute nightmare to find the hotel once on the campus. Little or no sinage and nobody on campus seemed to know where it was. Read great reports obout the food so was surprised to be given a cold fried breakfast on a cold plate. Woken several times during the night by noisy students returning to their dorms. Would not recommend

Never even stayed there, tried to cancel or even change the travel date and they wouldn’t help. Terrible customer service and would never even think about staying here again.

very clean accommodation set in the enormous university campus. Room was quite basic with very narrow, twin beds. The bathroom was also quite bare, with open shower (no cubicle, tray etc). The staff were fantastic and the food excellent but the overall feel is that of a high class dormitory. It is also difficult to find - the campus is vast and the signage poor.

The bed mattress was springy and not very supportive. The single pillow was thin and again unsupportive. There should have been two pillows on each bed.
I now have neck and shoulder muscular pain after my one night stay.

The room was stuffy. There was no ventilation to let fresh air in as window cannot be opened. The filter in bathroom was not working either. There was no air conditioning and was told May and June was when they switch off their filters??We had to request for a fan. It was a very uncomfortable pricey stay for a standard room. Some sockets were not working. One of the lift wasn't working during our stay. Very disappointed overall. Will not recommend.
