So we stayed over at the hotel for two nights. I had a little bit of an accident in the bedding because I have been on chemotherapy. I assumed when I came back to the hotel room that the bedding would have been changed however the cleaner made the bed but did not change the bedding. We were very lucky there was two beds, however The cleaner also left a packet of crisp on my other bed. I’m not quite happy with the standard of cleaning in the hotel for the first time after staying at the hotel numerous times. Upon checking in it took us such a long time because there was only one member of staff at the desk we had ordered food so by the time we had got to our room, the food had got cold so that was disappointing.

Lovely stay

Brilliant stay, great value for money. Large rooms with 2 doubles beds making it extra comfy. The team were lovely and friendly and put our three rooms all together which was great, thank you. Gave 3/5 for service, however this wasn’t for the people, they were great, but the bar was really poorly stocked. Lots of us had to have 2nd or 3rd drink choices as it was so limited. Great location, short walk to bars, restaurants and shops.

Hotel staff were really friendly and everywhere was clean. It was a short walk to the city centre and about 10 minute walk from the Highcross shopping centre car park where the parking was only £6 via the hotel discount. We stayed to go to a darts event which was a 20 minute walk. Overall it was a lovely stay.

Clean room, comfy bed, lacking things like shower cap etc.. Outside of doors along corridors looked like a prison. Terrible design. Good breakfast. Helpful reception. Would stay again.

Von außen macht das Holiday-Inn City keinen besonders einladenden Eindruck, aber die Innenbereiche sind ansprechend gestaltet. Unser Zimmer war ausreichend groß, sauber und angenehm. Trotz der verkehrsnahen Lage des Hotels war es auch recht ruhig. Das Frühstück bot keine besonderen Highlights, war aber OK. Es sind keine eigenen Parkplätze vorhanden und das NCP-Parkhaus direkt am Hotel macht keinen vertrauenserweckenden Eindruck. Wir haben uns daher für das Highcross Rooftop Parkhaus entschieden. Die dortigen Parkplätze sind groß und sauber, es sind zu Fuß nur etwa 5 Minuten zum Hotel und wenn man sein Auto am Terminal im Hotel einbucht ist es auch günstig. Zum Be- und Entladen kann man vor dem Hotel in der Drop-Off-Zone max. 30 Minuten kostenlos anhalten.

Good place. Very helpful staff. Rooms getting a bit well-used with time. Lost a point because the wifi absolutely refused to allow VPN. I really don't like being forced to used open access wifi with an easy password, that puts our e-sceurity at risk.
