Limited on site parking so plan ahead. Also during match days the hotel restaurant was overwhelmed and service did suffer.

Great place to stay right in the centre of Leicester. The rooms are updated, modern and very comfortable. Parking is available on site at the back of the hotel. Breakfast was excellent with a lot of variety of high quality food to choose from. Highly recommended.
