Take a check list to the check in!!!
Hotel was clean and comfortable, however the service from the front desk can be subpar. For example, the check in details for breakfast time etc was not provided and there was sign around that breakfast finishes at 11am, only to get the kids ready and was told breakfast finished at 9.30am. They tried to remedy and provided cold breakfast and beverages but that does not compensate for paying for a service and not being told about the service time by the concierge

We did enjoy our 11 night stay but felt the room wasn't adequate for such a long stay. We did see if we could move/upgrade whilst we were there but felt the superior rooms were an odd shape with even less floor space and the couch didn't even face the TV. Things we like: proximity to city, quiet despite city location. Things we didn't like: the parking, breakfast became mundane, the fridge in the room was pointless, the kettle was too big to put under the tap, the shower went all over the floor when showering and the inconsistency with housekeeping standards. The hotel is good but for a long stay it isn't ideal. You cannot fault the staff but with so many choices of hotel accommodation in Leicester thisnhotel isnt a stand out at all.

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!
