Hotels with Bars in Loughborough

We had high hopes of this hotel as it seemed very modern walking in. Self check in worked well, although you have to enter your car reg for parking on a different system. We booked an accessible room as I have limited walking ability and it was lovely, plenty of space and a well equipped bathroom. The breakfast each morning was delicious with plenty of choice. Unfortunately, there were quite a few negatives. The public spaces are very cold, the evening food choice in the restaurant is limited and pricey. As there is no competition within walking distance I suppose they don’t have to worry. The bar, restaurant and room are also dimly lit. I assume to create ‘mood’ but my partially sighted husband really struggled. However, the biggest disappointment by far was the poor accessibility. Our room had a door pad to open the door to go out, but this was rendered useless as you had to manually open it to unlock it. As a power scooter user, this meant pulling up to the door, opening it, reversing back to use the pad to fully open it and then exiting the room. But to get in to the room there was no pad, so it required a hefty shove to get it to open once you’d unlocked it. Ironically, our room was the only door to have a door open pad on it. Which made getting to the lift impossible on your own. It’s very disappointing that a new building, which has clearly had money spent on it, has not considered some of the basics for wheelchair users to help them be independent. There is nothing worse than having to rely on others, particularly strangers, to do simple tasks.

The hotel is a university hotel which is relatively close to the school. It takes about 30 minutes to walk to the town. The bed is comfortable and the sanitation is relatively clean. It is not very convenient. It can only be used in the hotel or the dining hall next to the hotel. Generally speaking, it is still Quite satisfactory.

Great location & fab gardens,hotel inside is dated & needs a make over,our room was basic,bed comfy,black mould on bathroom mastic & cracked tiles in shower area,stained tiles in ceiling area,patio doors to outside,but on opening in the morning,was greeted by a white transit van right outside doors & the wedding planners for the next wedding going back & forth,so couldn’t even have the curtains open,great full English breakfast options,but food had clearly been kept warm for quite a while,no plates,no tea bags,had to ask,tables hadn’t been cleared of dirty plates,glasses,mugs,etc & no staff to be seen,so had to clear our own table,staff all looked miserable & when they did appear,not one of them spoke to us!

From the moment we arrived the staff were so helpful and accommodating nothing was too much for them. Accommodation was excellent and the bed was so comfortable. It is only a short walk from the Great Central Railway which we had a great day visiting. Loughborough Town is also a short walk from the hotel. We did not manage to fit in a meal at their Thai restaurant however on our next visit we will make room in our plans to fit it in. Thank you for a great stay.

Visited for 1 night mid week in the middle of February. On the room booking I added that we’d like to eat in the restaurant at about 6pm and that we’d require gluten free options at breakfast as my partner is coeliac. Check in was simple and as I was about to ask about dinner I was told we had a table at 6 booked for us. The room was big and has plenty of space, comfy bed and a decent tea and coffee selection is provided. Excellent dinner in the evening with plenty of gluten free options across the menu. Breakfast was where it stepped up even further. You get a standard buffet style continental breakfast with plenty of choice of pastries, cereals, fruit, meats and cheese. But on the table was an extensive selection of gluten free pastries and cereals all covered ready for us. We will be returning whenever we’re visiting the Town Hall
