A great hotel.
Booking in was very quick and efficient. My room was very clean and warm. The evening meal was delicious served by Natalie who was very helpful and seemed genuinely keen to please. Parking here is very easy plenty of spaces - free. Great value

A pleasant stay in Wigston
Great wee hotel very reasonably priced situated on the out skirts of Leicester, in Wigston village, the staff were very efficient and friendly. We stayed for three nights breakfasts were the usual hotel buffet breakfast but were very good, room was clean and tidy and well serviced. We ate in the hotels restaurant Villa Italia on one of the nights it was excellent. There was a wedding in the hotel on the Saturday night, but there was no noise problem, all in all a good break at this hotel will definitely stay here again.
Dirty cups
Although the room was pleasant and comfortable the cups and spoons provided were dirty, there was no soap, hand wash or shower gel and the sheet on the bed was lopsided and tucked in only one side until I remade the bed the following morning. The staff we met were all welcoming and I can recommend eating at Bella Italia
Brilliant 2 night stay
Spent 2 nights on a bed and breakfast basis and thoroughly enjoyed it. The bedroom and bathroom exceeded expectations and was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious, buffet style with plenty of choices from the cold table and the usual hot bacon, eggs and sausages etc. Staff were brilliant, helpful and friendly especially the receptionist, and restaurant manageress.
Large car park and bus stop nearby for regular quick service to city centre. Also only a 15/20 minute walk into Wigston for the pubs and restaurants. Will definitely return.
Excellent staff and facilities for events.
I stayed 2 nights with other group members for an extended family gathering and meal prior to a funeral reception held at the hotel the following day. All the staff we met during our stay were polite and so helpful including the breakfast restaurant staff. A special mention must go in particular to Magda and Noelle on reception who helped us start the organisation of our events from the outset and Chantal who managed our events brilliantly. Sarah and her team who catered for us on the 24/9 couldn’t have done more to help ensure everything went smoothly. A mention must also go to the young lady behind the bar that day who kept us well supplied with tea and coffee after the funeral reception. Food for both the meal and reception was very good as are the rooms. But overall it is the staff that make the stay at Wigston Hoiday Inn excellent.
All good in Leicester
This is lovely and clean hotel with free parking the rooms are modern and clean with air-conditioning is that works, what more could you asked for. all the staff are great if you ever need a place to stay you can’t go far wrong with this hotel. I found the breakfast to be plentiful and included in the room price
Best Hotel I have stayed in for 10 years
My wife and I came to Leicester to set up my daughter at the University of Leicester. There are three or four Holiday Inn hotels in Leicester. I am so glad I came to this one.
The first thing to note is the level of service. It was exceptional. Some people drop this term lightly - I assure, you I am not. From reception to breakfast to home keeping, the staff were so professional and genuinely caring and considerate.
The hotel also has a light feel to it - not only is it bright, but the interactions of the staff to each other and their guests is reflective. This may not mean much - but to me it is important because negative moods and attitudes can be infectious.
The staff really enhanced our stay here. My wife and I were anxious leaving our daughter across the ocean to study. However, the staff went out of their way in guiding us to good shopping centres and other local information they did not have to share, but wanted to share to help us out. We greatly appreciated these acts of kindness and hospitality.
The room size is what one would expect of the UK. The in-house Italian restaurant was also surprisingly very good as well.
I agree with others who have rated this hotel highly - it is an exceptional hotel that has achieved the pinnacle of customer service - certainly above the Hiltons and Embassy Suites I have stayed in over the past ten years.
