A stay in this hotel should be avoided. The exterior is in need of reapair. Inside the state of walls, floor, woodwork, furniture is not acceptable, a few items are new, some things are missing. New installations are, to a large extent, very unprofessional. In one double the door is missing between bedroom and bath, offering a direct view from... more

Having stayed before at the Great Central Hotel, I can honestly say that having staying in one of their newly refurbished rooms the place is coming on in leaps and bounds! Good decoration, clean linen and excellent staff. Corridors still need some work work to repalce aging paper, but the new owners really have the work in hand. Don't write... more

What a dump! I recommend that no-one goes anywhere near The Great Central Hotel. Ive just got back from spending a night in this so-called hotel, NEVER AGAIN! 1st of all, its not a Hotel its a Pub with rooms, it smells like a pub and looks like it hasnt been renovated for 30 years. Our room was a double... more

Came to Loughborough to visit Loughborough University. Hotel room very nice and clean. Gentleman on reception very professional, regulars in the bar made us feel very welcome. Menu was very comprehensive and the food was good. Only fault was the poor attitude of the bar staff he made us feel guilty for interupting him to order a drink because he... more

We came to Loughborough for a wedding reception at the Great Central Railway, so this location was ideal (1 min walk). The hotel let us check in early, and we found the service prompt and helpful. However, the hotel still looks very run down, and not up to the standard of the website photos. There was also a funny smell,... more

The place looks very shabby and it is the kind of place a builder (no insult intended) would, and were, staying. Not the kind of place to bring a family, or for a lone female or for a buisness traveller (as I was) I read the reviews and thought I would give it a try, I will not be going... more

On arrival at this hotel, I thought it looked rather grotty and had to wait about 15 minutes before someone attended to me at reception. I was allocated Room 7 which was dark and dingy and the shower had seen better days. The bed was a three quarter bed with a full size mattress so the mattress was hanging off... more

Stayed for just one night and was very pleasantly surprised. Allocated room 8 which was large and spacious with large triple aspect bay windows. Purpose of my visit was to attend the Great Central railway was is less than 1 minute walk away so perfect location. Breakfast was superb, excellent choice and staff very happy to accommodate any special request.... more

I found the food to be well presented and big portions, the staff were pleasant but the rooms were awful. If i had paid £25 i might have kept quiet but ive stayed in £25 hotels before and this place isnt a patch. Carpets un-hovered, grotty rooms, even the 'upgrade' after i complained. My girlfriend described it as an awful... more
