Google gives it 4.3 from more than 2,000 reviews. It is a practical base with on-site parking, which most central Leicester hotels lack.

Had a brief stay but arriving quite late in the dark by car was provided with excellent customer focused attention both on front desk and breakfast catering staff

We stayed here last night; my kids are 17 and 16 and classed as kids at The Holiday Inn. Premier Inn is expensive now as they class kids 2-15 years, so makes things difficult, I am fine sharing a room with my lads and feel they still need an adult with them. Holiday Inn is centrally located with parking available close by. A big plus is that you can check in from 2pm and check out by 12pm with free WiFi (Travelodge only give you 30 minutes free WiFi before you have to pay for it) and comfortable beds. Breakfast was nicely cooked and presented, GRIPE - I was getting an orange juice fill up, one of my sons was still sitting at the table eating when a male team member took my chair and propped the fire door open with it, didn’t ask my son if anyone was using the chair or acknowledge him whatsoever. I had to then go and grab a chair from someone else’s table and then because I was near the newly opened door cold air was blowing onto me/us and loud traffic noise was overbearing. A good visit, I would recommend.

Had a really lovely experience at Holiday Inn Leicester! The hotel was clean, comfortable and in a great location.What really stood out to me was the amazing service from Corina. She was absolutely wonderful! So kind, welcoming, attentive and genuinely helpful. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and nothing was ever too much trouble for her. It’s rare to come across someone who puts so much care and effort into making guests feel comfortable and valued. Corina truly made a difference to our experience, and I honestly think the hotel is very lucky to have someone like her on their team. She deserves real recognition for her outstanding customer service and lovely personality! Would definitely recommend Holiday Inn Leicester, and a huge thank you to Corina for making our experience so special!

Hotel right next to a town for shopping and access to other foods. I’d rather stay in the hotel though, the hotel food especially their dinners are top notch. People are so nice here and always cleans our room every time we left even for an hour.
