All good for a place to lay your head.

Great over all, needed a place to lay our heads for a night and Novotel did the job well. Everything was clean, warm and comfortable. Handy having parking just 2 minute walk away at £10 for 24 hours... pretty good these days in the middle if a city. Only niggle was the tap and sink setup in the bathroom meant you couldn't get much water in the kettle without using one of the small glasses to top it up... a very British problem and caused more giggles than gnashing of teeth! Free drink at the bar more than made up for it! Uber was easy and about £5 to Welford Road (Tigers rugby ground) We'll stay again for sure.

Liked: Cleanliness

it was OK

The room did not have good lighting and very small windows, which was very disappointing. Pick and drop off was inconvenient, and staff did not seam to care or know the address to give may car service to pick me up. I was told on more the one occasion to walk around to the back of the building or the side for pick up. Room service was excellent.

Decent hotel. Advertised as a double bed but it’s two single mattresses put together. Stayed for 3 nights and our room was never cleaned. We requested at reception for our room to be cleaned and it still wasn’t. There was a very long black hair that was definitely not one of ours in our shower tray when we checked in. Floor smelled of marijuana and when we asked if we could change rooms we were told that all of the rooms are the same. Wouldn’t reccomend. Last time I stayed here it was great service from staff and the overall experience of staying there was good. Very poor experience this time.

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.
