Stayed at the Mercure with my boyfriend recently. It was fantastic! The hotel is very beautiful and extremely well placed for eating, drinking and shopping. The room was really big, clean and modern. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very helpful. Plenty of on site car parking which was really useful being so central. Overall - I'd certainly stay... More

I stayed at this hotel for the best part of two weeks, while on a training course. The staff were very friendly, breakfast was great! The room was comfortable and was adequate for my needs. The only grumble I would have is that the prices for food and drink were very expensive. Two beers for £4.90 across the road, but... More

Stayed there a couple of nights ago with four colleagues. The rooms are small for a four star hotel although I had a Sky Studio which was a lot bigger but with a tiny bathroom - could just about squeese in! There was no mirror at the dressing table so no facilities for ladies to sit down and blow dry... More

Spent one night here, meeting friends in Leicester for supper. It is convenient, it has its own car park (which I had to pay for). Nothing about the hotel said 4 star... The carpets are shabby, the furniture looks tired, it needs an overhaul. The bedroom (twin beds) had the smallest single beds I had ever been in (turned over... More

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post a review. We achieved four star status over two years ago and it was mainly down to the 5 star service we offer as most of he previous tripadvisor comments would suggest.

My wife & I stayed at the Mercure Hotel in downtown Leicester, Leicestershire, UK for seven days while visiting newly found family. The room [called a "Sky Studio"] was very large for an English hotel in my limited experience. The late nineteenth century facade has been very well preserved and still is marked "Grand Hotel", a title which is still... More

We booked this hotel as we were in Leicester to watch rugby as the hotel is within walking distance of Welford Road, The location of it is great, right in the centre of Leicester and having a large car park is a real bonus. It costs £5 but I think that is reasonable compared with other city hotel carparks. The... More

I booked this hotel through Booking.com and paid just £45 through their 'flash' sale.. I had previously seen the same hotel advertised at £100 per night and thought I was getting the bargain of the century.. How wrong i was!
