“The Gresham Aparthotel strikes me as a smart choice for extended stays, with its well-equipped kitchenettes and Leicester's central attractions just steps away; the rooftop terrace also promises interesting city views. I particularly appreciate the accessible accommodations and the self-service laundry-thoughtful touches for longer visits. A solid base for exploring the city or settling in for a spell.”

Fantastic Stay in the City Center

The staff were helpful. They assisted me with directions and local information. My studio apartment was clean and well kept. I felt right at home immediately. The air conditioning worked PERFECTLY, it kept the room at a comfortable temperature throughout my stay.

I found the lighting in the bathroom to be quite dim. It made applying makeup and other grooming tasks a little difficult.
