Front reception staff were friendly on arrival and incredibly helpful when something precious was left in our room.
Breakfast was also really well stocked and managed
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.
Great stay, hotel staff very friendly and efficient!

Room, staff and food great. 5 night stay for work spoiled by very loud bloke in next room having a 24 hour domestic with his Mrs. Unfortunately as there was one of those adjoining doors between our room (which was obvs locked) it sounded like they were stood on my room.
Lovely hotel inside, not to easy on the eye from the outside though.
Double room, 2 x queen beds, very spacious.
Friendly, helpful staff on check in and the following morning. Willingly kept our luggage in a secure room for us upon checkout.
Breakfast was first class as was the team of waiting staff.
