The Belmont Hotel, Leicester

I visited this hotel to meet up with some writer friends and I was dreading it because I'm not only vegetarian but struggle with food intolerances. I need not have worried. The staff (particularly David) were so accommodating (and patient) to my needs and provided me with a lovely evening meal and delightful breakfast. ||The room was comfortable and spotless, in fact the whole hotel was spotless. Each member of staff always had a welcoming smile, were helpful, and basically they offered the most exemplary customer service. ||I have no hesitation of booking this hotel again in the future. ||Thank you, Belmont, particularly David.||Highly recommend.

Nice hotel in the centre with private parking. Good room size and facilities and good restaurant food. Breakfast is fantastic with a wide choice of options. Booking in easy Has outdoor area for sunnier days, really pleasant. Down side is that rooms can be rather warm in hot weather

Stayed in Leicester as a half way stop over with kids. The hotel was excellent; great central location, clean room and quiet. We stayed in a family room with young kids. Our room was knight themed and the kids really liked the bunked beds and theme. Breakfast was excellent too. No complaints at all, a perfect stay.

Had a great stay at The Belmont. Lisa and Hermant on reception were particularly kind and patient, and found us a room with a bath when we requested it. The room was spacious and very comfortable, and had great tea and coffee facilities. It was located in a great location just round the corner from the train station and lots of cafes and shops, but also felt very quiet and safe. Great bar with friendly staff and an excellent selection of drinks. Really enjoyed the whole experience, would recommend and would definitely stay here again. Great job Belmont Team!

This Hotel is a rare Gem: A traditional Hotel in every sense of the word.|The reception Team gave us a really warm welcome, the Room (209) was superb.|The Bar and Lounge perfect to sit relax and have a quiet drink, the Bar Team excellent.|Hotel a short walk to the City Centre.|Breakfast: Traditional White Linen and cook to order Breakfast. Only slight issue was cheap sausages (low meat content) but other than that first class.|We have already booked again!! I think that says it all.|The Team here are quite exceptional.

Stayed with a group for a Literary Society annual meeting. Really well-looked after and the food was excellent. Throughly recommend this hotel for quality and helpfulness of the staff. I left a belt in my room and this was found and posted on to me with no fuss - full marks for customer care.

Fairly standard hotel in a very good central location and the onsite parking is a definite bonus. ||The rooms were decent sized, and the staff were very helpful. Great breakfast - not quite self service but very generous helping and coffee to die for.

Super comfortable stay here: quiet and well positioned with easy access into town. Nice views over New Walk. Parking provided but soon full of hotel is busy so best get in early. Good quality breakfast, super friendly staff and a comfortable night's sleep. Would definitely return.

When I was a student in Leicester, I used to walk past this hotel on New Walk and think how lovely it would be to stay there. Many moons later, I was back for a 30th birthday party so I thought I would book us in at the Belmont Hotel. I booked via Booking.com and it was £95. I think it would usually be cheaper but they were pretty booked up with a wedding and birthdays and so on. The hotel is on New Walk, not far from the train station, in one of the prettiest areas in town. I don't think people realise how pretty a lot of Leicester is. The reception is near the back of the building, if you go in via the car park. Staff were friendly and efficient. Our room was small but lovey. It's an old building but the rooms are modern. As others have mentioned the beds are super comfortable. Springy but firm, it was like sleeping on a sponge cake. Plus there was a firm pillow! That's all I need. Good tea selection on the hospitality tray, good toiletries, a hot shower. A comfortable night's sleep. Why 4 not 5? £95 didn't include breakfast and the walls are super thin so we could hear our neighbours. Nevertheless, I would book again and make sure I booked well in advance.

I can't be totally sure, but they may have the most comfortable bed in all of Europe. It certainly topped my hotels in London and Paris, and my hotel on my last trip to England. We stayed in a suite and it was huge. Like, so big that I told my husband if we ever lived in Europe we'd dream of having a flat that big -- because it was just a lot of real estate, especially compared to the average European hotel room. I think it may have made him cry a little inside because our home in California is a four-bedroom with us as the only inhabitants. But I digress. The furniture was also comfortable, power sources were ample, wifi free (after sign up), and the shower was great. If I had known then that my hotel in Paris had a shower head that would contort itself toward the shower wall, making my shower extra unpleasant, well, I'd have stayed in the shower at the Belmont longer. We had breakfast in the dining room and it was quite nice. I stuck with the cold stuff, but my husband added eggs which he said were fine. (In his words, "Yeah, they were good. A little runny, but whatever." This is why he doesn't Yelp.) The location was great - very close to the train, and right on the New Walk, which was convenient to me, because I was spending my days at a conference at De Montfort. The whole place was clean and lovely. I would absolutely return.

This is an excellent hotel with an even better, first class restaurant. I had a tiny room, but still everything was perfect! A really decent bed, a nice bathroom, wifi via cloud for free, and a great cooked breakfast! I had dinner in the restaurant one evening and the food was really good with an excellent service. The menu was varied enough for every taste and need. The hotel has a mini gym: just a rowing machine and one more cardio thing (sorry, don't remember what). The staff is friendly and helpful and everything is quite informal (just leave your luggage there and hope that they'll recognize your face). The price was moderate (£ 59 including breakfast). The location is good for visiting the university and the hotel is not far from downtown. It's close to London Road, so there are many shops and restaurants just around the corner.
