fair but pricy - Rating 4/5
my first time stay at a guest house in the UK. Bit shocked when I saw the room then I remembered seeing the multiple beds on booking.com.Good to find out that everything I attempted to use actually works although I couldn't feel the heating but I actually slept ok so it must have worked.I would use again if the landlord would loose his sarcasm a bit (Microwaves have different ways of turning them on and off, maybe leave simple instructions).Also, loose the wall paper in room 6.On the whole, stay was ok and I would use again if he considers a 10% discount

A friend and I stayed here for two nights over a weekend. It was a nice clean room with comfy beds. There was no hassle getting the keys and dropping them off and slept nicely. It was also very cheap.

I was searching for comfort, cheap, just to sleep 1 night, and not so far from train station.I miss my shampoo, and there was empty, but it's not a problem.Nice place!

Comfy, perfect location.- Rating 5/5
Had some work at the Royal infirmary, which walking distance once parked up so saved me £15 parking per day, and it was comfy bed , lad looking after the place I guess was on the ball, I had a issue with the shower which he sorted in no time at all. The ultimate question is would I stay again, and the answer is yes I would.

Over night stay at Abinger Guest House - Rating 5/5
I booked Abinger guest house for an overnight stay as my son and I had travelled to Leicester to watch a football match at the king power stadium, on arrival the guy showing us to our room was very welcoming which was nice, we had an issue with the TV no working but after a quick efficient call to the owner this was resolved very quickly and he even talked me around the local area, I.E. good places to eat and best ways to go to get to the town centre & stadium. overall great value for money if you are looking for an overnight stay in Leicester that's within 15 min walk to the town and the King power stadium, if I ever need an overnight stay in Leicester again I will definitely go back to the Abinger guest house.

Review - Rating 4/5
Mostly, it was fine. But the instruction booklet for the TV zapper was not left out where it could easily be found, & it was not the right booklet for that zapper.The light in the shower works on a movement censor. It took me a minute or two to work that out. I realise that a movement censor may be greener than the alternative, but a wee notice giving notice would help.

repeat visitor - Rating 5/5
I have now been on 3 separate occasions. Never had a problem getting parked close by, and never a problem using shared toilet or shower - the rooms I've stayed in it looks like you only share with one other room so much better ratio than many places. Easy check in and check out, best recommendation I can give is that I'll no doubt be back again!

Exceptional value for money - Rating 5/5
I was looking for a cheap room for the night following attending a gig in Leicester. I knew the location as I used to live nearby, so was happy to book this hotel. It proved to be exceptional value for money. Check in was easy, the room was easily accessible, spotlessly clean, the facilities in the room were excellent, the beds were nicely spaced out and comfortable, and I would happily book here again if staying in the city.

Good little place - Rating 4/5
The owner was very welcoming. Excellent communication before arriving & upon arrival.The facilities were as described. The beds were very comfortable & shower facilities easy to use.The only misleading thing was about breakfast, but Tesco is within a second walk.If I have to criticise one thing, would be the carpet, which probably wasn’t quite as clean as I’d have liked it, but for one night, I wasn’t fussed.All in all, I’d be happy to stay there again.

I spoke to two members of staff. Both were friendly & helpful.I wished my room was a little warmer - tho, to be fair, I never askedanyone to adjust the heat.At home, I do not have the kind of TV that was in my room. Once I got stuck with the controls & had to ask for help. Perhaps an instruction card could be left in the room.

Exceeds expectations - Rating 5/5
Me and a mate were just looking for somewhere to stay for a couple of nights so we could go out clubbing with other mates. Being students, the reasonable price and decent location appealed to us - we didn't need anything fancy. However, the room had nice beds with thick comfortable mattresses, lots of storage, a large HD TV for if guests want a night-in, and clean toilet and shower facilities. The pictures initially appealed to us but staying there was a pleasant surprise - especially with local travel lodges charging more and offering much less. This would absolutely be ideal for families for short to medium stays also as the owner is very polite and makes sure that guests are always comfortable and that their needs are met. Nothing negative to say about this place.

Staff and Technology Strengths - Rating 5/5
This was a return visit to Abinger Guest House - and I felt as welcomed and supported as when I came the first time.As a Senior, I really appreciate the 'human face' aspects of Abinger, and a real endeavour to ensure that visitor-needs are met. Equally, I admire some of the Technology touches - and found that they were manageable, even though I'm not at all Techie. Who cares if bits of paint are missing!Things WORK, and work well!I would just advise that there are quite a lot of stairs [I was grateful for help] and shared bathrooms.Thank you, Abinger, for another helpful stay!

I had to go to Leicester for three days on course. I had work to do after hours. The guest house was perfect. It was so quite like I was the only guest there although I know I wasn't. The room was great, the bed huge and comfy and best of all it was so clean. Parking on the road outside was no issue at all. I will definitely stay there again.

As advertised - Rating 4/5
The room was very clean, as was the bathroom (which in this case was â€en-suiteâ€Â as in “slightly down a locked-off section of the hallâ€). Strong smell of bleach from the bathroom indicated it was rather thoroughly sanitized. Room we stayed in is small but comfortable and faces the back, so there wasn’t much noise, an occasional shout from a neighbor ending at a reasonable hour. Other than not having much room or places to put luggage, while car parking is free, it's on the street, so that's a bit of a misnomer. Owner doesn't live on-site but comes in for opening and breakfast, and is friendly and helpful. Wifi very strong — router is at the head of the bed! Good breakfast. Close to city center and Richard III, etc.

Fabulous stay, would definitely recommend - Rating 5/5
I chose Abinger Guest House for the location as I was up in Leicester for my son's graduation and my son lives a few doors away. I booked an en-suite and both room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. Bob (the owner) couldn't have been more helpful, great personality with a very dry sense of humour!Breakfast was absolutely delicious - for £3 an absolute bargain! Nice to sit and chat to others around the table, it was a really friendly experience. Bob even went the extra mile by dropping me off down the road to the ceremony as I was running late and it had started raining. I will definitely be booking again next time I'm in Leicester - excellent stay, thank you Bob :-)

Thanks Julia. Going the extra mile is what we try to do. I hope the graduation was fun and not too clappy

IN fact was a lot better than the money we paid for it! Huge TV on wall was unusual for these places, bed was comfy and noise minimal. Shared bathroom facilities wasn't any drama either. Host was a real nice guy and enjoyed bit of banter and using his local knowledge. Would defog come back. Cheers fella!
