We found this hotel and its staff to be perfect. The staff were super helpful and welcoming from the gentleman at the check-in desk, to Francisco who helped my daughter and I at breakfast with our allergies (we left super full!). The hotel is right in the heart of the city and about 10 mins from the shopping district. The Highcross shopping center car park was ideal to leave the car and we felt it was safe. It showed Leciester to be a real melting pot of communities who welcome people with a smile and easy conversation. Highly recommended for both families and business trips.

Easy check in and convenient room. Parking has changed and now a 10 minute walk to the Highcross Shopping Centre on the top floor…. A trek with a disability. The breakfast was quick, easy and very nice service. We use the hotel when I pick my daughter up from University… so easy for walking into the city for restaurants.

My family and I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Leicester and was genuinely impressed by the warm and friendly hospitality from the staff. From check-in to check-out, everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable – it really made the experience special. The hotel itself is clean, modern, and ideally located for exploring Leicester. One point worth mentioning is the parking: the hotel currently offers a great £6 overnight deal at the Highcross rooftop car park, which is about a 10-minute walk away. While this works fine, it would be even more convenient if the same offer could be arranged with the NCP car park directly opposite the hotel – it would make arrivals and departures that little bit easier. Overall, a great stay and I’d definitely return. The team here truly know how to deliver genuine hospitality.

The members of staff were so helpful and friendly. The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast was very good! All in all a good experience!

Good location and friendly staff

We had a good stay. Unfortunately there was a problem with the aircon in the two rooms we tried. The reception staff was very good in trying to sort out the problem which ended up with us getting two fans for the room. Breakfast was good with a friendly Christina looking after us. Location to visit the old part of town and the King Richard III museum and grave is perfect.
