Stayed for one night in the triple room. Comfy beds & very clean ( Maybe a little too hot at night....but my fault for not turning the radiator down)) Very spacious with good cupboard & drawer space. Staff were all very friendly & welcoming. Had a great evening in the bar listening to the juke box. Enjoyed the freshly cooked breakfast in the morning, good value. Great location & on the bus route for both the city centre & university of Nottingham (in the middle ). Will definitely be going back. Thank you.

Great place for families as well as singles, great breakfasts at reasonable competitive prices (cheap for a hotel) ... This family ran hotel has friendly staff and a great atmosphere... Rooms are reasonably priced. And you don't have to be a customer to use the breakfast facilities, which the chefs are always most happy to oblige where it is possible.
