“Croft Hotel's unassuming facade belies surprisingly modern, clean rooms; think smart TVs and comfortable beds. It's a simple place near the park and DeMontford Hall, but I think the friendly staff and functional amenities far outstrip its two-star billing. For a no-frills stay in Leicester, Croft Hotel represents solid value.”
