Hotel on M1 northbound but main eating facilities are on southbound services so you have to cross the bridge. It’s a standard room with plentiful parking outside in the main services car park - great for breaking up a motorway journey but nothing outside of the services you want to venture out. Staff friendly and helpful. Great value room
Good : easy to access
To be improve: Carpet and toilet does need better cleaning . The room has some kind of unclean smell
Staff is nice , responsive and polite
This was a nice place to stay and all the eating places are a short walk away , you do not even have to go outside to reach , Starbucks , Waitrose , Burger King and more . Very convenient
I was really happy with my stay at Days Inn Leicester Forest East M1. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, offering great value for the price. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything I needed and making the experience easy and pleasant from check-in to check-out.
For a budget-friendly option, the hotel exceeded my expectations — it was quiet, spotless, and convenient, with everything I needed for a short stay. I would happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, affordable, and well-managed place to stay near Leicester.
A great place to stay with friendly staff keen to help and a choice of food from the attached services

Clean room and amazing bed. Room needed a second chair, the TV reception wasnt perfect and 'menu/TV guide' didn't work. The door to the bathroom got stuck on the floor and there was paint on the ceiling light. But the gentleman at reception was very professional and apart from the distant motorway noise it was very quiet.
