What guests think

At ibis budget Leicester, guests often praise the friendly staff and broadly clean, quiet rooms, while noting compact layouts, firm mattresses, no in-room kettles (free lobby coffee instead), and on-site parking that may carry a small, sometimes unclear charge.

Breakfast feedback varies from hot and plentiful to average or limited, with some reports of poor vegetarian choices and occasional temporary closure during refurbishment. The roadside service-area setting by the A46/A6 is convenient, with nearby petrol station/shops but little else in the immediate vicinity. Overall, it suits short, no-frills stopovers.

We only stayed for one night as we were flying early the next morning. Beds were comfy, TV was nice and big. Only gripe is there is no drink making facilities in the room, free coffee and tea is available near reception, just be nice to have the ability to make a drink in your room. As the hotel is called ibis budget, it's not going to be a premier in or holiday express, for the price we payed, we can't complain

Staff polite and helpful. Rooms a little too small. Good idea not to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room. But the cups downstairs need to be a bit bigger especially if trying to take a hot beverages upstairs. Nice to have an area where one can eat food and drinks brought in from outside or to be able to buy a drink there.

This was a really convenient place to stay for one night while visiting an old friend. The staff were lovely, so helpful and friendly. The rooms are quite compact but incredibly clean with everything you need. The only thing I really missed was tea/coffee facilities within the room, but it was all free down in the lobby.

We stayed here a Friday and Saturday night and found it to be a good budget option. The rooms aren’t huge, the hotel is a little way out of town and basic courtesy coffee and tea may only be in the downstairs dining area but it was clean with helpful staff, parking was easy and included (do register your vehicle on arrival). It is by the A46 and A6 junction in a small services area however the greenery and position meant road noise was minimised. Breakfast can be purchased, soft drinks and snacks are available in a vending machine & an upgrade from free basic coffee can be made by payment at the coffee machine, there is also a petrol station with Waitrose shop next door.

The staff were very friendly on arrival. The room was very small. The air conditioning unit kept on clicking all night, so we didn't get much sleep. Got up during the night and looked at the bedsheets and were dirty and there was also hair that was not ours. At approximately 4-4am my partner went downstairs to complain, however he was told thsy he should have relorted the issues earleir. Nevertheless, when we arrived we were tired, so we ate in the restaurant and didnt go to the room until aboit 11:30pm, therfore we didnt report the issues roght away as we thought it would be too late, and our daughter went to bed straight away and got settled.

We arrived later in the afternoon and were very tired from a long car drive. Checking in was easy enough and the young man at the reception was friendly. The bunk bed was not made, which is not ideal if you are tired and and just want to crash. The bunk bed itself has not been properly cleaned in a while, as there were tissues stuffed in the corners, the mattress protector had stains and the frame hasn't seen a cloth in a while and the ladder could do with a few screws tightening. The room had a weird smell and we had to open the window first thing we stepped in, but that didn't last long, as somebody was smoking pot nearby We have also been charged for parking, even though it says on their website it is free, which I only noticed once we left. I am aware it is a budget hotel and I have stayed in many different ones in the past, but I was really not impressed with this one. We only stayed for a night, that's why I gave the hotel 3 stars and it was okay for what we needed it.

The service from all the people working in the hotel was great we can’t fault them especially as we were at a festival was nice to help welcoming people at the desk. The hotel overall was fine but the room had a few issues I was just too tired to report. The shower was leaking from the head and door meaning it went everywhere each time you used it. The ac was the functioning for cooling the room but made a constant clicking noise and loud banging noise every few minutes making it very hard to sleep. This wasn’t a normal noise as the unit was working fine just very noisy. Managed to get some sleep on night three and the bed was comfortable.

No kettle or bottled water provided in bedroom although tea and coffee were provided for free in the reception area - it was still rather inconvenient. Shower floor cracked and I had to ask for a room change, rather than offered for a swap. I had been asked to ‘be mindful of not making the crack worse’ by the front house staff when pointed the crack out! A good job that I had spotted the crack BEFORE I took my shower, or else I would have been made liable for the pre-existing damage.

This booking was made for a business stay by the company for a colleague. On arrival our employee was refused entry by a gent on reception because he did not have the card the booking was made with. We have booked rooms on many occasions and never had this issue, I believe the policy is to supply a card for anyone staying in the room. The guy on reception then told our employee "just forget it your room is cancelled". we had to book into the Premier Inn

The location is good for business stay on the A6/A46 going from Leicester to Nottingham. It will avoid the morning rush hour traffic for you and getting on the motorway won't be a problem (if required). The room has basic facilities, but is nice and clean. You get what you pay for really. There is an ASDA mini store across the road at the Shell Garage, Coffee and Tea is available near the reception. Staff are helpful. Hence my 5 star rating

I had an excellent experience here. I checked in during the early hours, and the porter was already waiting—very friendly and even offered me tea or coffee on arrival. The room was spotless, compact, and perfect for a one-night stay, with a lovely bath towel provided. There was no hairdryer in the room, but otherwise everything was just right. Parking usually comes with a charge, but it wasn’t working during my visit, which was a bonus. Despite being located at a service area, it was surprisingly quiet. Breakfast was buffet-style with plenty of choice, and the Full English was piping hot. I would definitely stay again.

The hotel and bedroom was spotlessly clean and the wet room was a welcome surprise and appreciated.although the amenities were limited it suited us as an overnight stop. The staff were very polite and friendly.The cooked breakfast was limited but adequate.Although they did not provide cooked meals there were plenty of takeout and a waitrose supermarket just a short walk away.where you could purchase food and bring back to the hotel and eat in the dining area which had a microwave available for use.We had a pizza and my husband had a couple of pints cooked on the premises which was fine. Overall if you are looking for a overnight stop I would reccommend this hotel would advise them to put a kettle and tea and coffee facilities in the rooms as walking into reception in your pajamas to get a coffee or tea is not very practical.
