A very good hotel at a reasonable price.
We had a lovely stay for two nights while visiting relatives in the county. The staff were very nice, knowledgeable and helpful. It might be a good idea for the hotel to add how to find the car park in their information. It is easy to find but for first timers finding bollards across the road before arriving at the hotel is a little confusing. We didn’t eat in the evenings at the hotel but the breakfast choice and quality was excellent.

great
Great hotel clean and had everything I needed and right in the middle of the city centre close to shops and places to eat. My only disappointment was the car park the hotel suggested was difficult to find and there were some road closures due to maintenance so couldn`t get to that specific car park so didn`t gain from the hotel discount for parking thee and had to park at the opposite shopping centre car park instead

Stay for heading into Leicester for drinks
Stayed for a night out after a work meeting onsite. Parking - £10 per night for those staying onsite (£20 otherwise) in the shared hotel car park. Remember to put the registration in the tablet at check in. Check In - quite slow when a queue and 1 person on the desk. Room - room was at the end of the corridor on the 6th floor. Room was large, only thing letting it down was the bed was quite hard. Breakfast - there was plenty of choice for breakfast (cooked, cold meat/cheese, pastries, fruit, toast, pancake machine). The one thing that didn’t work too well, the mugs were too small for the amount of latte that came out of the coffee machine

I stayed at the Novotel Hotel and found it to be in a great location, conveniently close to shopping and restaurants. Overall, my experience was good, but there were a few areas that could be improved. The service was decent, though it could have been more attentive, and I felt the hotel could benefit from offering additional amenities. Housekeeping needed improvement, as the shower gel and shampoo dispensers were not replenished adequately during my stay. Additionally, I was disappointed that my membership benefits could not be applied because I booked through Expedia. Despite these minor issues, the location and overall experience were satisfactory. With a few adjustments, this could be a fantastic place to stay.

Fantastic four night stay in a family room. We very much enjoyed the buffet breakfast, although the coffee was not great. Otherwise, our stay was impeccable. All we were missing was a spa!
