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.

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.

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.

Car park a bit of a distance from hotel and a hassle if you have young children. No flexibility for check out times. Overall the standards were good. Polite staff.
