Some staff were excellent like Sean on arrival at 11pm at night but the staff at checkout were rude. I asked for help with my son who is in a wheelchair just for some luggage and the reception person said not sure if we can as it’s only me here. Was very funny about helping in the first instance! Upset my leave upon departure. Hands 🙌 up to Sean

Rowdy Teenagers Next Door

The stay on this evening was absolutely dreadful. We booked our room at the Holiday Inn in order to wake at 4 am to get the coach from across the road. we were put in a room opposite the two lifts, and next to a bunch of rowdy teenagers. The hotel receptionist inferred that we should’ve paid more, although I’d paid around £80 for the room for limited hours. The receptionist who assigned my room was fully aware that I had to be up early and that I was travelling with a child. I also note that other hotels at roughly the same price, offer, hot chocolate, biscuits, and more often than not have a fridge in the room with bottledwater. The rooms are particularly basic, although the beds comfortable.

Leicester Short Break

Really enjoyed my stay at the Holiday Inn. Staff on the reception desk, very friendly and professional. They really made me and my family feel welcome. The hotel was clean and orderly, and breakfast was lovley, and the staff went out of their way to make sure we were okay and happy. Would definitely come back here.

Leicester stay for my boys birthday

Lovely stay, staff were amazing. Beds were not the most comfortable for us and there was a bit of a dirty patch on the wall in the bathroom,which we notified staff of when we were checking out, and they were very apologetic.

Nice but noisy

The only criticism I’d make is that the connecting door between rooms isn’t soundproofed and I could hear every word from next door. This affected my enjoyment of the evening.

This is what a hotel can be!

We arrived to a warm friendly reception. Our room was spacious and clean with t&c facilities, hairdryer and well equipped bathroom. Very comfy beds, plugs and charge points everywhere! Breakfast was relaxed despite the hotel being very busy. A server noticed my wife walks with a stick and was quick to offer her to bring her drinks and more. Bonus for us was having a carpark next door. Perfect for central Leicester. Many thanks
