Guests often appreciate the Holiday Inn Express Leicester City for its convenient location near the National Space Centre (just 13 minutes away), the university, football stadium, and hospital, making it easy to access different points of interest. Many find the rooms spacious and the inclusion of tea/coffee making facilities a plus.

the breakfast included a decent selection. the location proved acceptable.
The air conditioning failed. the provided fan circulated warm air throughout the room, doing little to alleviate the stuffiness. there were only two tea bags available. Coffee was absent.
