The staff were fantastic. Friendly, helpful, enthusiastic, attentive, professional. Specifically, Ewa on the front desk and Robert in the buffet breakfast area - they consistently addressed guest needs in a way that made it clear they wanted each guest to have the best possible stay. I will absolutely return to this hotel the next time I am in the area.

Spacious room but no fridge or room safe fitted. Better thsn average Englush breakfast. NCP next door shut down but £6 for 24hrs at Haymarket Rooftop (7 mins walk) if register number plate at reception. Only one lift working. Helpful staff.
Jeffrey, 2-night trip
Verified

8/10 Very good

As the NCP next door is closed parking is at the nearby Highfield shopping centre (3rd floor). This is OK and parking is subsided by the hotel - be sure to validate your parking at check in. Walking to the hotel can be tricky, basically the hotel is on a large traffic island. When approaching from the shopping centre, take the pedestrian crossing that takes you to the NCP and keep to the right, taking the path around the car park past Addict Dance Studio.

We had a really good stay at Holiday Inn Leicester by IHG. Ewa was extremely helpful in sorting out our parking issue and made us feel very welcome during our one-day stay. We were a group of six adults, and everyone really liked the hospitality and overall experience. We would happily stay here again.
