It was good , the breakfast was fantastic, the only hitch is not having a microwave available in the rooms, not helpful in a situation when you have little ones with yourself

Another fantastic stay at Novotel Leicester
Couldn’t fault anything. Friendly staff, great room, good breakfast. Particular shout out to the guy behind the bar who was really on the ball (did ask his name but I’ve forgotten it!!)
This is our third stay and won’t go anywhere else if we are stopping over in Leicester.
Thank you!

Good location for food
Friendly staff. All good but would prefer a closer carpark, fine in the good weather but a bit of a trudge with cases if raining.

Excellent as always
My favourite Leicester hotel, staff friendly and all areas exceptionally clean. Bar and lobby area is very modern but retains a cosy feel, a great space to do some work in at the of the day, the rooms are spacious with city views and plenty storage and amazing bathrooms. Parking is easy and nearby to the hotel, making the trip hassle free.

Check-in was efficient. However, the room had an issue with the air-conditioning. Therefore it was extremely stuffy in the room and made sleep very uncomfortable. Didn't complain as it was very late by the time we got into our room so just wanted to try and get some rest.
Great hotel. Very modern and clean. Will be back, thank you!

All of the staff was so helpful and accommodating - I arrived a bit early but recognized immediately I was coming from overseas and was tired and rushing to a meeting, got a room ready for me early and were so kind and pleasant. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone - right in the heart of the city center. Loads I’d restaurants and shops nearby. And some amazing history!
