Good food

Customer review rating 3.5/5

Richard Friends - 08/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Good food for breakfast and dinner. Simple basic rooms, too much focus on appearance not enough on functionality.

Dear Richard, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we wish you had a better experience, it is feedback like this that we learn from and use to improve. In regards to the shower, unfortunately it will be impossible to offer facilities exactly like they are at home. We work hard to deliver an exceptional guest experience, and it's apparent in this case that we fell short. If you give us a chance to earn back your trust, we can assure you that we will do our best to give you the great hotel experience that so many of our guests have grown so fond of. Sincerely, Novotel Leicester

Parking experience awful

Customer review rating 2.0/5

Visitor T. L. Families - 05/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The signage to the parking at this hotel is awful and Google maps takes you to the wrong end of a blocked off street. Some information about directions to the parking in the booking confirmation would of been useful, also letting you know it is not directly outside the hotel and you have to carry your luggage (would of brought wheeled suitcase rather than weekend bags). Parking is not included in the room rate which I was surprised by but what was worse was when we checked in it wasn’t mentioned that you had to enter your car reg on a screen and pay for it then. This was pretty poor and apparently I’m now going to get fined, which will be cancelled as I have paid but it’s another inconvenience to sort out. The room and hotel was clean and modern. The food and drinks were good (apart from one item on the kids menu was not as described). This hotel has a high rating from families on another website so I expected a bit more, such as small-child friendly crockery and cutlery which isn’t much for a hotel to provide (and potential saves glasses from being broken). Staff were friendly and helpful (apart from the person checking us in missing the parking). Breakfast was good with a range of fresh options. Overall the hotel was nice just our stay was spoiled at the beginning and end by parking. I’m not sure I’d bother staying here again with this hidden extra bumping up the cost and the inconvenience of carrying luggage.

Dear Sarah, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel L.. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. We have 13 brown tourism signs that are strategically placed from every major route into the city. We also have a dedicated page on our own website (we cannot control brand or 3rd party sites) www.novotelleicester.com which gives you full directions and postcode. In terms of charging for car park, this is marked on every website as chargeable. We are also inline with all our main competitors within the city. At Novotel, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us regarding the welcoming receptionist. Please rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent future occurrence. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Team Novotel

It was good, from reception to having breakfast in the morning the staff were polite and very helpful. The only downside I would say is there was no water in the room if there was I would have given a 10 rating.

Nice hotel with friendly and courteous staff. Room was rather dark due to a small window at each end of the window wall. No decaffeinated tea or coffee available. Unable to get subtitles on television.

Satisfactory but could be much more

Customer review rating 4.0/5

Andrew O. Families - 28/09/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed overnight with a toddler. The room was good and everything was satisfactory. We could have had more tissues and tea and milk considering we were supposed to be 4 star. Additionally there was a good breakfast and a nice bar area. However, for such a hotel as this I would expect a gym, business working area and a pool. The car parking arrangements were a nightmare as not attached to the hotel.

Dear Andrew,, We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Leicester. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. I will share your comments with our team. I am sure that this feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our staff as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services. In relation to the tissues, tea, milk etc please do not be shy to ask our fantastic reception team for more. We cannot clutter a tea tray that is already full. We do also have a gym on the 5th floor which is clearly marked. We also have an area on the first floor that is used as a business area when not in exclusive use for many of the elite sports teams we host. Our car park is clearly sign posted by 13 brown tourism signs coming off every major route into the city. There is also a dedicated page on our website Novotelleiester.com. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Sincerely, Team Novotel

Birthday Stay

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

Marizriz18 25/08/2021 TripAdvisor review

We had a really nice time at Novotel Leicester. The room was to an expected standard for a new 4-star hotel, though noisy banging from maintenance both mornings, including at 7am, was unwelcome. The bar and restuarant area is sleek and modern, with a good range of drinks, and a nice food menu- the locally sourced pie was top-notch! We were looked after really well by who I think was the head barman, forgot to ask his name but he was really knowledgable about local food and drinks and very friendly. checkout experience was poor, however. I was not asked about our stay at all. Then when I made a query about a Novotel promotion double points on the app when you dine in bar or restaurant ,the staff only knew nothing about it, havent heard about it ,even when I showed in the app just so I dont look like I just made up a promo. PS, I know its pandemic and all but I miss the lil touch of reading remarks or booking notes and being personable by asking upon Checkin atleast how are you or how was the trip did you come far something like that but yeah covid pandemic hits everything

Dear Marizriz18, Thank you for posting your review. Please accept my apologies for the disturbance but we did not have any maintenance work scheduled in the hotel during your stay so can only assume that it was coming from outside the hotel. It is great to hear that you enjoyed your time in our Nine B bar & restaurant. As Nine B is standalone restaurant I will share your feedback with the management to ensure that staff are aware of hotel promotions. Please contact our reception team on ha9p4@accor to confirm your reservation details so that we can ensure that points due to you are allocated on your ALL membership. Once again, thank you for your feedback and we look forward to welcome you once again. Kind regards

Goofy197065 Business - 25/08/2021 TripAdvisor review

1 of my bookings went astray, I then had to pay £130 more for a June Suite, which is only marginally bigger that a King room and certainly not value for money. The cleaner forgot to remove the false eyelashes from previous guest. Gross. Upon complaining to reception they said that the room should have been cleaned and they’d take it up with housekeeping. No real apology, no attempt to recover customer service. Cannot believe this still happens

Dear Goofy197065, Thank you for taking time to post your review. We are sorry to hear about your experience, please accept our sincere apologies. Could you please send our your reservation details on ha9p4@accor.com so we can look into this as a matter of concern as we are having difficulties in locating your booking. We look forward to your response. Kind regards
