No-one in reception. Was probably quite Grand in it's day but now in pretty poor condition. In a word: Grubby. Heating took several hours to warm the room though the bed was surprisingly comfortable. No heating at all in the bathroom. Sink tap loose; didn't use the shower. Parking & breakfast OK. It was cheap, so only adequate if your... More

We`ve stayed at the Great Central Hotel twice because it`s very convenient for the Great Central Railway and its excellent dining trains. I also like its GCR history and it does still have a bit of that style, though I`d be the first to admit it needs a lot of money spending on it to do the place justice. The... More

First time working in Loughborough and to be honest not a lot to offer. The hotel was in a poor state, Booked a twin room and got a double, Bloke at bar was spot on and got it sorted as they just split the bed in two and moved a table. Room NO HEATING ON but had a small convector... More

We arrived for a two night stay. Nobody on reception. Had to attract someone's attention from the bar. Our first room was acceptable. It had the basics. Everything was fine until we went to bed. Within 45 minutes of being asleep we were awoken by water pouring through the ceiling (we were only on the first floor). Went down to... More

The decor was attractive, though I felt that it could do with a bit of new wallpaper and a few licks of paint here and there; I loved the railway memorabilia and the fact that my room overlooked the...

We stayed here for one night, first impressions were ok from the outside however when we went inside there was a very damp and musty smell, the receptionist was very nice but the dead flowers on the desk and stagnant water was a little off putting. The room was reasonably clean but the bed was like sleeping on a marshmallow.... More

We stayed at this hotel twice in 3 weeks for one night at a time. The first time we stayed the room was lovely, as we had booked it late we got a double room and breakfast for £45! which was great value for money. We had a spacious room with a massive bed, and all the other things you... More

This backstreet hotel is located about 10 minutes walk to the centre of Loughborough and is located very close to the Great Central Railway station (hence the name, as it was built as the railway hotel) so if you are planning to go there then this hotel is ideal. I got the impression quite a lot of patronage for this... More

Hi, We came to Loughborough for the winter steam gala weekend, so this was the first chose on the stay list having a great central railway connection. It was the cherry on the cake, literally with fantastic food a very relaxed warm and welcoming staff it was more like staying with friends than a hotel. Room 20, was large, clean... More
