The Caravelli provides convenient access to the town centre, and many guests appreciate the spacious and tastefully decorated rooms, some featuring king-size four-poster beds. The on-site restaurant receives high praise, particularly for its Italian cuisine, with some considering it the best in Loughborough. While most find the rooms comfortable and well-equipped with amenities like fans and ironing facilities, a few guests have occasionally found some rooms to be small or outdated.

surprisingly lovely stay

warm welcomecomfortable bedrestful sleepdirty carpets
The check-in was simple and i received such a warm welcome. my room had fans, great for the heat. the bed proved comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep. Breakfast was also plentiful and delicious..
The hallways need some attention. The carpets had visible dirt. i noticed this particularly detracted from the otherwise clean and pleasant atmosphere. perhaps a more frequent cleaning schedule would help.

Convenient Stay with Excellent Dining

spacious roomcomfortable bedgood selection
I stayed one night mid-week during February. I requested a 6 PM dinner reservation and gluten-free options for my partner. Check-in was smooth (I was promptly informed about my dinner reservation). The room was spacious, contained a comfortable bed, and provided a good selection of tea and coffee.
Four of the eight light bulbs in the room were not working.
