    Quite a few issues with the WiFi, some of the team on the desk didn’t seem to be all that helpful. Could’ve done with a tea towel in the room and perhaps a sharp knife for cutting.

    The room was comfortable and a decent size

    Leave your car and walk, but don’t bother the reception staff.

    The ‘reception’ area is in the front lobby. It’s small but practical. The major space in the building has been taken up as residential space. The staff member on the desk when I arrived put me in a blind panic when she asked for photo ID and a card to secure the £100 safety deposit. I doubted myself, but I was sure I’d done that in advance. Sure enough a few Minutes later, the necessary advance information had been done and she had the details she needed. I was advised that the key code to the lock box had changed, when in fact it was the same as the email I had received. Each day, the staff reminded me that the code had changed, but hadn’t. Staff seemed to be insistent that I used the lock box to access the key to open the front door, when they were sitting on the desk on websites not related to work. I felt that I had interrupted their Facebook time. Going through the lobby when staff were there wasn’t the warmest of interactions.

    When I booked and looked up the property, i became a little worried about the ‘flat’ being just one room in some cramped place and to be told I was in room 6, I got concerned. It all sounded a little confusing, but as I can’t cancel it’s money I can I’ll afford to loose. I needn’t have worried. ‘flat’ 1, is the whole floor of the building. It has 12 individual self contained bedrooms with access only via key card. The room is small, granted, but the bathroom is large and within the room. A good hot shower and clean toilet. There is a communal area which consists of a large kitchen and seating area. I was very comfortable there and slept incredibly well. The Nest is situated 300 yards from the main town and an easily accessible walk. Granby street is full of great restaurants and take awaits.

    I didn’t realise it was student accommodation until after, but we didn’t need to use the communal areas it was just somewhere to shower and sleep! It was a little loud when sleeping as so central but you would expect that.

    Centre of Leicester so great location. Car park across the road which was expensive as you’d expect city parking to be but really close.

    Half of the items listed in the booking com website were missing. The staff did bring me some hangers and a hairdryer after request. The fire alarm went off at the first night and we as guests tried to call the emergency number provided by the property but nobody came. We were left alone to sort out the alarm which would have been a very dangerous situation in case of actual fire. (Somebody came an hour after the incident to tell me that there was no fire which was too late and smtg we already knew. ) There was also building dust in the room so the property was not properly cleaned after building it. Also something g to note is that the property hold the security revisit of £100 which they said will return to my account right after I checked out but it still has not been released)

    Location was good and quiet. Kitchen was relatively well equipped. Bed was comfortable.

    Without any prior warning, I had to pay a deposit of £100 when I checked in, in case of damage to the room. There was no inventory and no opportunity to inspect the room with a member of stay after the stay, so this easily could have been abused by the company and money was not kept by a third party. There was a small kitchen, but no cutlery, pots or pans. Nothing to wash up with. Might as well have stayed in hotel room with no kitchen facilities, as it was useless.
