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.

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.
