What guests think
At Holiday Inn Express Leicester City by IHG, travellers frequently praise the friendly staff, handy location for King Power Stadium and the city, and the included breakfast, but many reviews report long-running air conditioning failures that leave rooms uncomfortably hot.
Cleanliness is often good, yet guests note worn areas and maintenance issues like stained carpets, cracked sinks, and leaks. Rooms are basic and generally comfortable with some stadium views, though Wi-Fi reliability varies, road noise affects a few, and sofa beds can be uncomfortable. Free on-site parking is a plus, though spaces can be tight on busy days; overall, expect a no-frills stay with standout staff and location, tempered by building upkeep and temperature-control problems.

Facilities
Air conditioning has been out of order across the hotel in multiple stays, leading to very warm rooms at times. Free on-site parking is appreciated, though spaces can be tight and availability limited when busy.

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.

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.

The main problem was the air conditioning not working. We had my service dog with me so we're put in the furthest away room on the top floor. This would have been ok if the air con was working I think but on a weekend with temps reaching 30c and the heat from the hotel rising, it was horrendous! The fan provided by the hotel did nothing but circulate hot air and it was actually cooler outside at night than it was inside the room. Even the cold water in the tap was warm! You couldn't keep bottles of water cold. Worst stay I have ever had in a holiday inn!

No sheet or duvet cover or pillows. Sofa bed like a wooden board yo sleep on. Lights are odd have to have main light on to have bedside spots in? Bathroom bad. Sink multiple cracks. Soap not at sink. Disable access shower . Grouting mouldy nit appealing to step into. Odd to have only one side with curtain!! Floor gets very wet. Our room must have had a leak from toilet cistern as floor wet totally around toilet. Had to use bathmats and hand towel to keep feet dry when using toilet. I asked at reception for extra pillows. Was told the hotel was full of unlikely to find even xn extra 1. Whenever brought any. If you want to see a very good example of holiday inn express go to York on the Malton road.

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.

Staff were amazing but unfortunately the room was really uncomfortable. The sofa bed for my son had a big metal ridge in it and the main double bed was really uncomfortable. Air conditioning was disabled throughout the entire hotel and half the lights in our room didn't work. Could be a fantastic hotel with a bit of much needed TLC.

Normally when I book an accessible room and I arrive with a mobility walker or wheelchair- someone will ask if I need any help to go to my room. No help offered. Similarly when I asked about having a cold buffet breakfast - I was told only that there was a list in the lift and a list in my room - not true - list was just about the cooked meal. Again - no help offered when I ordered a snack at the bar - I was expected somehow to carry this to where I wanted it - a plate of food + a bowl of crisps - and negotiate the lift and my room key.

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.

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.

Very helpful staff who provided us with a breakfast of croissants and muffins ahead of time so we could have something to eat before starting our fast.

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.

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.

I have stayed here and st other Holiday Inn Express before. I was shocked to see that the breakfast is now a pale shadow of what previously was the USP of this chain. Evidence of shrinkflation and penny pinching! A dumb move by Holiday Inn...as there are cheaper and better alternatives if you discount what is now a very ordinary breakfast. How sad!

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.

Really nice hotel; staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable with a nice shower room. The breakfast was excellent with a good range of food - something for everyone!! Would definitely stay again.

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.

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.
