CALL AND ASK IF AIRCON IS FIXED BEFORE BOOKING

We arrived to find the aircon was “out of order” and had been for sometime and they would give us a fan for us and our two children. Four people in a room with a window that Wouldn’t open and a fan blowing hot air around (34 degrees) wasn’t just uncomfortable it was dangerous.

To top off the night of no sleep, we find out as we are leaving it’s being used partially to house asylum seekers, 3 of which were drawing on our car as we left. We told their mother who proceeded to laugh at their behaviour.

Wouldn’t return to this hotel.

It was nice & quiet, so got a good night's rest.
No air con but there was notification that it wasn't working & the tv wasn't showing any channels.
Overall, with the breakfast included in the booking, it was a pleasant & relatively cost efficient stay.

I have stayed at this hotel a few times now and the satay has always been pleasant.
Overall the room was clean, the breakfast was decent, parking was free and the staff were friendly and welcoming.
The only downside was that it was 30c heat and the Hotel did not have working air-conditioning! However the room was provided with a fan.

Be aware that the air conditioner has not been working here so they have fans in the room. This was the same when we stayed here two years ago. The hotel is conveniently located and the rooms are comfortable and quiet.

The guy on the reception desk was brilliant - we'd had such a long journey. We were taken care of, we knew the AC was out and he fetched an extra fan. He spotted we needed an extra pillow without us needing to ask and brought it up within minutes. Really impressive.

Stayed here for the first time and will definitely revisit.
The breakfast had a good variety but could do with more veggie and halal options. We enjoyed the fresh fruit and croissants on top of the breakfast which was free with the stay.

We found the room and bathroom clean but the light switches did not cleverly work ftom the bedside.
There was plenty parking at no extra cost.

The room cleanliness was excellent and just what I expected. However, the toilet flushing system wasn’t ideal — after each use, I had to wait a very long time before it could be flushed again. Also, the breakfast selection was quite limited.”

The room was very cold compared to our previous stay, the heating system was on but not functioning correctly and was too loud so disturbed the kids sleep. The flush in the toilet was not working which is disgusting to be honest. Their was a humming/knocking sound coming from behind the headboard all night unsure where from , stayed in many hotels this has to be the worse experience. Only reason we stayed here as last time we had a better experience. Need another place now in leaicester

The hotel itself and the location is good. The main issue is- as previous reviews have already mentioned- that it is very hot! It was not a particularly hot day, around 23 degrees and it got cool in the evening outside. However, the temperature in the room was too high and the fans just circulated the hot air. Because of that, it was impossible to sleep. There is a sign in the lift that the air-conditioning is out of order which must have been there for months. If this problem was fixed, the hotel would be very good. In the winter, the room may be fine.

Excellent hotel, and superbly clean. Very welcoming.
Didn't realise the parking is free for hotel guests, ended up paying £12.50 for overnight stay as the Ringo banner appears just outside the hotel thought it would be a good idea to pay first and then enter the hotel.

Very decent english breakfast.

Three star hotel with 3-star facilities which is expected and acceptable. Rather expensive for what it is. Parking spaces leave limited breadth which means a. It's hard for older people to get in and out of vehicles without making contact with adjacent cars. Moreover, your own vehicle is at risk of being scraped or dented.

Disappointed stay

The room was not ready when we arrived at 6.30pm - but we did only book on the afternoon. We booked for three people and when we arrived they had not set up the sofa bed so we had to wait for that. We had a drink on the bar while we waited, I’m not sure what lager I was drinking but it wasn’t what I ordered. The room was fine but very cold. There are signs saying the air conditioning is broken so please ask for a heater or fan from reception. By 9pm our room was so cold, we did have an oil filled radiator but it did not provide much heat. We asked at reception for another heater but they said we already had one so we went to bed cold. At breakfast we asked for gluten free sausages as my daughter is coeliac - the signs in the lift said to ask your server at breakfast for gluten free options. We were told 25 minutes wait, 40 minutes later they still weren’t cooked so we had to go. We purposely book Holiday Inns as they are usually so good with gluten free options, most having a dedicated area. Staff were friendly but we were disappointed with our stay it was definitely not worth the £105 we spent. Holiday Inns are usually of a better quality of Travelodge etc but not this one unfortunately.

Breakfast both mornings was disappointing. Coffee machine didn’t work, little fruit compote available, difficult trying to get staff to help as they were busy dealing with machine malfunctions. The bar wasn’t particularly well stocked and the lack of slimline options in drinks was not helpful for diabetic friends .
No air conditioning in the hotel at all.

Avoid

Hotel is outdated and in need of renovation. The whole A/C system was down and by looks of notices everywhere it has been for a while! The toiletries provided are substandard. Lastly, the extraction vent in the bathroom must be linked to the kitchen because the room had a constant smell of curry coming in through the vent.

Would recommend

Excellent hotel and location but the Wi-Fi in the bedroom (4th floor) was very poor. I have stayed here a few times and the internet is always an issue. I believe it’s to do with the area and the football interference. Overall, 5g hotspot works fine. I would still recommend this hotel. I was privileged in receiving a room facing the stadium was truly an exceptional view.

Poor breakfast.

Hotel and staff lovely and very clean. Only downside was the lack of choice at breakfast. Bacon and sausage poor quality. No pastries, no choice of yoghurt flavours. Only fruit was tinned oranges or an apple. No dried fruit. Continental option seemed to be a sole mini blueberry muffin. Very disappointed.
