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

We stayed in room number 20 in July and were aware that the hotel was being refurbished so asked to have a refurbished room. The room was clean but rather small, looking out the back of the hotel. The double bed was actually 2 singles joined together but that was not a problem - it made the bed quite large... more

A stay in this hotel should be avoided. The exterior is in need of reapair. Inside the state of walls, floor, woodwork, furniture is not acceptable, a few items are new, some things are missing. New installations are, to a large extent, very unprofessional. In one double the door is missing between bedroom and bath, offering a direct view from... more

Having stayed before at the Great Central Hotel, I can honestly say that having staying in one of their newly refurbished rooms the place is coming on in leaps and bounds! Good decoration, clean linen and excellent staff. Corridors still need some work work to repalce aging paper, but the new owners really have the work in hand. Don't write... more

What a dump! I recommend that no-one goes anywhere near The Great Central Hotel. Ive just got back from spending a night in this so-called hotel, NEVER AGAIN! 1st of all, its not a Hotel its a Pub with rooms, it smells like a pub and looks like it hasnt been renovated for 30 years. Our room was a double... more

Came to Loughborough to visit Loughborough University. Hotel room very nice and clean. Gentleman on reception very professional, regulars in the bar made us feel very welcome. Menu was very comprehensive and the food was good. Only fault was the poor attitude of the bar staff he made us feel guilty for interupting him to order a drink because he... more

We came to Loughborough for a wedding reception at the Great Central Railway, so this location was ideal (1 min walk). The hotel let us check in early, and we found the service prompt and helpful. However, the hotel still looks very run down, and not up to the standard of the website photos. There was also a funny smell,... more

The place looks very shabby and it is the kind of place a builder (no insult intended) would, and were, staying. Not the kind of place to bring a family, or for a lone female or for a buisness traveller (as I was) I read the reviews and thought I would give it a try, I will not be going... more
