“Good Location for the city center”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

Hotel is great for a night out in Leicester as it is with a 5 minute walk to the city centre over all the hotel is ok with a nice reception area and bar but the hotel is in need of an upgrade.

The hotel has leisure facility's which area a bit out off date and tired but does the job.

The rooms area in need of and upgrade as they are VERY tired and look dated. If you want to stay close to the city centre then this is a great hotel but it is not worth paying Full Flex Rate as there are nicer hotel out there.

If you are on a romantic weekend in Leicester i would not stay here as hotel is VERY dated and there are better hotel in the area

“central leicester”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

we like it as it is central and has good INDOOR pool. plus a gym. The rooms could do with TLC, but given the facilities and location, they are good value. just remember there is a 10 GBP charge for parking! breakfast buffet is fine unless you are vegetarian.

Room Tip: check if pool is open if that is the reason why you are going there. also if you need a connecting r...

“Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

Big plus of this Hotel is the location if you require access to the city centre and the car park next to the Hotel. The Hotel itself has a general 'tired' look, especially the bedrooms. Nothing specific however not as pristine and clean as other Holiday Inn Hotels visited in the UK. The 'executive' room was nothing special. Staff were polite and the restaurant served a quality evening meal. Adequate for a one night stay, no more.

“Couldnt fault it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

Just arrived back from a weekend break at this hotel. We booked an executive king room which was spacious, clean and comfortable. We had breakfast at the hotel, which was available up until 11.00am, great for us late risers! The restaurant staff were attentive and very friendly, infact all the staff at the hotel were polite and helpful. The location of the hotel was ideal for shopping and approx 20 minute walk to Leicester Tigers RFU. All in all an enjoyable stay and we would definately stay at this hotel again in the future.
