Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Ibis Budget Leicester from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Ibis Budget Leicester is often chosen for its convenient location close to the A6 and the Space Centre, with good access to public transport like the bus. Guests appreciate the clean accommodations and the good value for money, and some found the rooms to be very spacious. EV charging points are a plus for those travelling by electric car, however, the absence of a kettle in the rooms has been noted by some guests. A well-kept car park also contributes to a positive experience.

i found the staff friendly. the breakfast was good. the adapted room was excellent. location was good.
