Guest Reviews
- Wai Yi (8/5): - The booking details shown in the Hotels.com app and in the confirmation email were not so clear. They did not mention or remind me that I had to pay at the hotel. I thought I had already paid online by debit card. At the counter, I had to check my bank account again to make sure there was no duplicate payment before I paid.
The room, towels, and bedding were average; just a few hairs and specks were found.
Breakfast was as good as expected.
- Nanniejo66 (4/5): Not the best stay we've had - My husband and I went for an overnight stay for a Christmas shopping trip. We were looking forward to a nice lie in, but we're working by banging well before 9, which continued until we checked out. The shower was poor with very low pressure, and the extractor didn't work. On letting reception know that we hadn't had the stay we expected, we realised that there was plumbing work underway throughout the hotel which explained the banging and low pressure. We were annoyed as there is an outside annex that you would think they would have put us with us staying for leisure.
- Sussex_Family_Guy (8/5): Comfy, well located but a bit noisy - Stayed for a Saturday night before a football match on the Sunday. Lady on reception was very efficient and friendly and the room was typical Premier Inn, very comfortable beds and decent, clean bathroom. £10.99 is pretty good value for breakfast if you're going to have a big cooked breakfast with decent hot ingredients.
The location is good for City Centre bars and restaurants and only a 20 min walk to the station and canal area or the castle.
The only thing is it is right in the middle of the University and there is a nightclub pretty close to the hotel. When that kicked out there was loud shouting and screaming for a good 20 mins right by the hotel window.
If you can handle that then I would say the location, room and service make this a decent option for a cheaper stay in Nottingham.
- 733bevm (8/5): Did the job - Stayed multiple times within a short time. Nice clean rooms, although on 2 occasions the USB sockets weren't working, and it was a little loud at times due to the proximity of the tramlines/uni. Service times in the restaurant were OK, definitely a noticeable difference in how dishes were served, as it is only a small menu, I had the same meals often, each one different each time,all really nice, just different waiting times (restaurant never busy) and presentation. The waiting team were really friendly and helpful, especially Nicola who made my visit delightful whenever she was on shift
- Connector67115209567 (2/5): Dirty Toilet with Raw Human Sewage - Was in room 417, daughters in were in room 418.
The toilets had a problem and my girls had been in around 24 hours. When the toilet was flushed it overflowed and raw sewage was coming up, it looked like the sewage was from a long time. I have photos for evidence. It was disgusting and the smell was awful. The room was relocated at 11.30PM, the experience was poor.
The room was dirty, the bed was dirty, the dressing table was not cleaned. I cleaned with a wipe and was amazed at the dirt that came up.
So not happy with this stay at all.
- Sherpa20455777447 (10/5): Brilliant - Fantastic service in restaurant. Very attentive and friendly staff. Would certainly come again. Great location with neighbouring shops
- Explorer36507303880 (10/5): Satisfactory value of stay - Nice View of the Building. Good size car park with marked bays. Parking is included with room reservation. Nice rasturant with good variety of morning breakfast. Griff house n Beaf eater also in the Building. Good seating areas.
The reception desk was managed by KELLY with a welcoming smile and enthusiastic attitude. Explained to us how check/outin options works. Also Explained to us breakfast options etc. Highly recommended for future stay.
- Georgiegirl1561 (2/5): Noisy and No parking - Budget hotel, Budget food, disability parking limited and at a premium price, no buffet breakfast which was included in price, instead burnt, reheated breakfast, also noisy at night due to location close to Nottingham University, only plus was the comfortable bed and clean room, we were there for a couple of nights for a concert, only booked due to location to theatre,unfortunately did not research disabled parking availability, so beware!
- ARAS (2/5): - Yatak oldukça pisti ve üstünde en az 10 adet saç vardı.
Temizlik bakımından oldukça kötü bir otel.
- ourreview_9 (6/5): A little disappointed - Overnight visit for evening out in Nottingham. Good location with several places to eat next to the hotel which is a god send as the menu prices are expensive. 20 pounds for a burger and 17 pound for a cheeseburger. This is a hotel on a retail park next to the railway not in the centre of London.
Check in was easy, parking at hotel £5 for 24 hours.
The room was ok. Not worth £120. Walls very thin, view of roof, railway and staff smoking area from window. Bathroom door wouldn’t shut unless locked and like so many hotels the hair dryer stays on by pressing a button continually. Please get rid of these.
The room was a good size with two double beds, iron and ironing board. Lots of plug sockets and tea coffee and milk. Good walk in shower although the detachable shower head wouldn’t move
Breakfast was very good. Lovely staff, lots of choice and very nice food.
- OnAir56796004966 (10/5): Had an overnight stay for football - I love the hotel was lovely and all the staff member was brilliant and. Reception Young lady and young man was brilliant and helpful
- therF2244ML (10/5): Ray is amazing - The hotel was very clean and comfortable. Ray was amazing and made me and my children feel welcome and looked after.
I would definitely return to this hotel because we were treated so well. Thanks Ray and the team for being so nice during our stay.
- HannahKate24 (4/5): Air-Con unit was very noisy - The main lobby area is tired & in need of a refresh. Unfortunately our room was right next to an air con unit (outside the room) & was therefore incredibly noisy - this ruined our stay!
- lilyw161 (10/5): Very good evening meal with professional staff. - The hotel seemed dated on arrival, however Premier Inn seem to be undertaking a lot of refurbishments so it will be very nice afterwards, and the refurbishment work didn't affect our stay.
Our evening meal was lovely one of the nicest we've ever had at a Premier Inn
Our room was lovely and warm, the heating system was easy to understand and also the window had the option to open which was great
The staff are friendly, helpful and cheerful, thankyou to 'AK' and to Neave.
- H3281VBlisaw (10/5): A great stay at Nottingham. - We stayed at the Nottingham goldsmith st premier inn on a visit to see our son in his first year at NTU. On arrival the staff on the desk were friendly and sympathetic as I queried that I had reserved parking for the car park online in advance via the JustPark app and not realised that there was a discount code which would have saved 40% on the price which was annoying . The room was very clean and comfortable as we’ve always come to expect. The only slight niggle was the lack of air conditioning in the room, so we’re glad that we were not using the room during high summer. There was a fan available which was fine for our needs. The room was quiet and we slept well in our silent night bed. We included breakfast when booking the room and this did not disappoint . A great selection of cooked items and continental selection. Staff were friendly when we left and we will definitely be returning.
- Iloveklimt (10/5): Great hotel, friendly helpful staff team - Good location near city centre. We had a premium room which had some nice extra touches. Quiet, warm and cosy. Staff team were very friendly and helpful. We had drinks and a meal in the evening and the food was really tasty and good value for money.
- Wanderer68358734609 (4/5): Well below par - Went on Halloween weekend,
Probably the worst premier Inn I've ever been to. Student blocks nearby partying until 4 am. Very loud. All felt like a freshers year dormitory. Decor well past its sell by date. Useless sound proofing.
Shower pressure very weak so not much to recommend it really. Unless you don't mind staying up all night to hear students running around revelling out on the streets and around the building.
At least its a central location but I paid £110 per night for two nights. Shocking really
- EYox (2/5): Disappointing. - Location and staff were great. Unfortunately, the room wasn't and we had a very poor night's sleep. This affected the following day, especially as we were meeting people.
The bed was terrible, there was a big dip in the middle, so my husband and I were hanging onto the sides, in the end I swapped with my son and I tried to sleep on the pull out bed. When I was lower to the floor there was a strong smell of urine coming from the carpet, unfortunately with my kids fast asleep I didn't request a change of room. In check out I raised my concerns.
The trams running alongside the hotel were loud, this kept me up. There was a damp feel to the room.
I've always loved premier inns, but this one really disappointed and if we return to Nottingham I wouldn't stay here.
- LaurenKPerks (10/5): Clean, welcoming and convenient! - Brilliant service. Lovely staff, clean and welcoming.
One of the best premier inns I've stayed in!
Would definitely recommend!
- israelsI1795FD (10/5): Business stay - Thank you - I just want to say the room was exceptionally clean, 5🌟! All the staff were kind friendly and inviting! This is a lovely Premier to stay in and I’ll definitely be coming back to stay when in this city! Thank you 🤩
- B562GMsusanb (10/5): Very clean - Cleanliness was spot on very clean room well be happy to stay again housekeeping very friendly was a pleasure staying at this site
- 1966alisonw (2/5): Not wheelchair friendly! - First off i would like to say the staff were perfect they were friendly, polite and helpful. But , if you are a disabled traveller dont book here, there is no automatic door opening , which could prove difficult if you are travelling alone with a wheelchair. My sister had a room and myself and my mother booked into a accessible room (2) which had very little space to manover the wheelchair, the bathroom was not a wet room and the grab rails were held on with one screw instead of the three that should have been there! There is no wheelchair access from the resturant to the hotel, which meant that i had to take mum out in the cold dark rainy night to get from our meal to our bed.
The hotel is very tired looking and could do with a lick of paint and some refurbishment. I did complain and Premier in gave me a part refund on the rooms, so that was nice. I definately wont be staying there again though!
- V9191ZPhannahb (10/5): Lovely helpful staff - Really great hotel but what makes this 5 star are the staff. They were all so friendly and welcoming. A special mention to Nicola who served us at breakfast. She was so helpful and cheerful and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Nicola!
- simoncO8816VT (10/5): Latest experience - Our regular go to hotel in Nottingham. Stay here for date nights and gigs. Yesterday's stay was excellent as usual. Check in easy,staff great,great management. Rooms always clean,we generally get a decent room rate too
- A4476QPsuzanned (10/5): Best Premier Inn ever!! - Once I found the hotel I was greeted by friendly staff.
They made me feel as though I could approach them if need be.
The room was spotless and modern with new carpet. Beautiful.
I booked breakfast. Came down the next morning to a friendly, welcoming face. The lady took my order for my cooked veggie breakfast. 10/10 for me.
Fresh food, delicious and wasn’t tight with their portions.
I will definitely recommend to my family and friends. Probably one of the best Premier Inns I’ve stayed in.
Thanks guys, I really appreciate you all
- Q2945LOmarciat (10/5): Our special occasion was recognised and we were made to feel very special by Pat and Sue - Lovely stay at this hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. Happy with our room which was lovely and clean. Had a good night's sleep and was made very welcomed by Pat and Sue
- 454kirstyl (10/5): 💜 It’s the little things that make a big difference 💜 - After a long day of travelling, we finally arrived at the Premier Inn around 11:30pm — tired, ready to drop, and honestly just hoping the check-in would be quick and smooth.
To my surprise, Chris at reception greeted us with the warmest smile and had our key ready before we even asked. No stress, no waiting — just genuine kindness and thoughtfulness at the end of a long day.
It might seem like a small thing, but in that moment, it meant so much. That simple act of care and efficiency made me feel truly welcome and reminded me how powerful great customer service can be.
So thank you, Chris — for reminding me that sometimes, the biggest impact comes from the smallest gestures. 🌟
- O4365XGmarkt (8/5): Great as always! - As a regular visitor to this hotel/coffee shop for work, the service is always excellent. However, I have noticed on my recent visits that the number of available staff is noticeably sparse. My visit today was as enjoyable as usual, however Costa was busy and although Joe did a great job keeping on top of things, it seemed quite unfair for her to be doing everything! I always enjoy my visits but an additional member of staff would surely help with wait times?
- 710tristiant (8/5): A warm welcome by friendly team - We stayed at this hotel while helping our daughter settle into Nottingham. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome. Ben handled our check-in and was particularly helpful, providing excellent recommendations for local activities and telling us about the Goose Fair happening during our visit.
Our room was spotlessly clean and well-maintained. The food was satisfactory, though not exceptional. Overall, it was a pleasant experience that made our trip much easier.
- 270gurnamk (10/5): Very Good - Very Good stay. Had a quick check in from friendly Manager on shift. Good location and was a good breakfast in the morning will stay again
- Climber13028722410 (8/5): Nottingham visit - Hotel staff, breakfast, room all good. Location worked for us visiting Trent Bridge for cricket - not far in a taxi - free parking on site.
- Passenger615701 (4/5): Nice room but bad experience - Premier In. review
Checked in for 2 nights with the meal deal. Asked if I could possibly check in early as had come from a long way but was advised there would be a £15 charge for that. Fair enough - this was annoying and (personally) I feel if the room is ready why not let guests use them instead of milking us for more money.
On check in the staff member was friendly, room nice and bed super comfortable. There was a bath with overhanging shower in my room. The toilet seat was broken (did not realize until I sat on it and fell off and hurt myself!). I had mentioned this to the person at reception when I left for the day to hopefully get it fixed but on my return to the room that evening it had not been fixed - so stuck with a very wobbly toilet seat for my stay. Rooms have tea / coffee in as you would expect and look modern.
I was booked in for the meal deal which you get for dinner 2 courses and a drink. Fish and chips was nice on my first night as was the sundae for dessert. Breakfast was very good, the hot breakfast was freshly prepared.
My second dinner the service was not the best, the chap who served dinner could see I was busy and he brought over my starter (calamari - which was not very hot) and instead of putting it on the table was holding it in front of me to take from him and put down. Pretty poor that I think.
I spoke with the “duty manager” about this on Thursday evening who told me she could not do anything but give me guests relations number. I called them and they were closed and advised to use their website on the pre recorded line. I tried to leave “feedback” on the site but this would not submit. I informed reception and asked if they would let the manager know so still up in the air with that.
Hotel is located close to plenty of shops like a big sainsburys, Argos, B and M, Lidl, McDonalds.
All in all not a terrible stay but I have to say I am disappointed how the faulty toilet seat and my injury was treated and not rectified adequately as well as the poor dinner on Thursday 9th October 2025. I would have rated higher if the issues would have been rectified
- kitwP2246GE (10/5): Great stay and friendly restaurant staff - Lovely room and friendly staff
The restaurant staff especially Natalie and T where so helpful and friendly, I would happily come back just to see them.
Will be staying again.
- Oozells_oozells (6/5): Fair - Pricey stay. Room was spacious but not the cleanest premier inn have stayed in. Very convenient location for city centre facilities though. Despite double and secondary glazing had poor sleep due to noise outside - people and music until well after 3am! Take earplugs!
- davidcE842FA (8/5): Spoiled by extortionate parking charges - Hotel was very good, but parking managed by YourParkingSpace was extortionate, £25 overnight, after “discount” of £2. There must be cheaper or free on street parking within reasonable walking distance.
- M1658RChannahf (10/5): Brilliant, lovely room. Slept so well and lovely breakfast - Natalie and T were absolutely and fantastic at breakfast, so friendly and welcoming. We felt so looked after.
Also the lovely lady on Reception we arrived Saturday 4th October
- V426RWjohannesg (8/5): Best way to start a day - Awesome buffet and a lovely angel taking care of people with allergies. She even brought all cleaned cutlery for our allergic friend. Great for vegans as well.
- hannahlP8945CW (10/5): Great stay - Recently stayed at this Premier Inn for a few nights and was impressed with house keeping. Very clean room and friendly team. Look forward to staying again.
- Dave_Luxon (10/5): Pit-stop to Gretna Green - We stopped at the Premier Inn Nottingham Marina as a Pit Stop to Gretna Green, we have stayed in a lot of these Hotels in our time, and were very impressed by the staff here. The were informative, friendly and exceptional with the customers needs, We mentioned that we were stopping there as a break before we went onwards to get Married, whilst out nosing around Nottingham we returned to our room to find an Ice Bucket and Fizz…how thoughtful, thank you Stacey and the rest of the team….an excellent job!!
- AshishMac (6/5): Quiet and accessible to city centre via a pleasant canal walk - Usual quiet, cost effective place with a GeniePoint car charger and close to canal walks. The cleaning staff reneged on the reception’s agreement for a late check out which was disappointing. The restaurant is only open for breakfast.
- emmalbird111 (10/5): Good value hotel with comfortable beds - Friendly welcome to this Premier Inn. Standard room was fine, comfortable bed and good shower. Clean and good value, free parking and close to road links. Entrance is a little hidden, look for the signage! Breakfast was great, hot food cooked to order - just don't leave it too late on weekends or items will begin to run out. Would stay here again.
- A6189KRheatherd (8/5): Lovely breakfast. - Rooms were comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was really good. Natalie took care of our large group and the rest of the breakfast crowd on her own with grace and efficiency. Big shout out to her.
- 391dwainw (8/5): Marina’s customer service - Marina was very helpful and made us feel very welcome. She made our experience special. She checked on us to see how our meal was and made us feel that she genuinely wanted to make us feel comfortable.
- stelyo2017 (10/5): Nice to see my usual refuge is getting a makeover - Although the hotel was being refurbished disruption was kept to a minimum. Stacey on reception was extremely helpful and ensured everything went smoothly. The refurbished rooms are a definite and much needed improvement.
- karlhR6279FU (10/5): Outstanding stay at the Premiere Inn, Nottingham Castle Marina. - What a brilliant experience, Stacey and her team made our stay amazing and the rooms are beautiful. Amazing service, amazing team, 5 star experience.
- K6633PKalexn (10/5): Brilliant service! - Brilliant service from the whole team. Niamh has served me in the restaurant over the past few days and has been amazing - thank you Niamh. Thank you all for great food and great service, and a brilliant new menu.
- tomrX4579QF (4/5): Shocked at the condition. - This was one of the worst hotels we’ve stayed in and definitely the worst Premier Inn I’d been to. Worn and tired and dust and hairs in the bathroom! Absolutely shocking. One positive was that staff were nice. Obviously management at serious fault. Didn’t know that there were places like this any more.
- jimbZ6823QE (6/5): It’s ok but it’s slowly falling apart - Staff are great but it’s getting seriously down at heal. Would never dare to bring business visitors here at the moment.
Not particularly clean either, come on Premier Inn you can do a lot better than this
- JoanneB3188 (6/5): Room needs refurb but exceptional staff service - Room not upto premier inn standard. However, Kelly and her team were friendly, warm welcome and excellent customer service. Good parking. Unfortunately room was not upto premier inn standard. Head office/area manager you need to refurb your rooms, you're letting your staff down. I was surprised that premier inn had slipped in their standards, as this is a busy hotel and great location, with beefeater onsite with ample parking. A staff member also crochet little keyrings rasing money for great Ormond street hospital. Lovely idea. We stayed in room 11. Chipped walls, marks on walls, stains on furniture upholstery, rusty window hinges, rusty bathroom soap dispenser.
- valj593 (10/5): Great Stay! - Lovely stay breakfast was amazing, Kelly on reception went above and beyond, we love coming here will definitely be back here again 😊
- Scatty74 (8/5): Good hotel for the money - Well located, friendly staff, clean hotel and our rooms and bathrooms were clean. The overall place is tired and tatty and the rooms/bathrooms we had were too. Definitely cosmetic though. We had breakfast at the beefeater next door and that was excellent and the service in there was excellent too.
- lindseyg897 (10/5): Does what it says on the tin! - The beauty of staying at a Premier Inn is that you know what you're going to get - comfortable bed, clean room, convenient location, and that's what we got. There were a couple of 'economies' I noticed - only one set of towels provided, but another was easily collected from reception, and you have to actually request housekeeping if staying 2+ nights, but that's no problem.
- Odyssey24813895260 (4/5): Good location but shabby room. - Bad - room was shabby and cleanliness was poor. Snot on the wall, hair in the bathroom. Walls were shabby with holes and marks everywhere. Water pressure feeble and the cold water was warm leaving it undrinkable. A fan in the room would have been useful. Beer garden was full of rubbish, uncollected glasses. Good - reception/bar staff friendly, bed very comfortable, window you can open, convenient location.
- SummerSon2013 (10/5): Premier Inn on a site filled with history - The two nights I stayed at this hotel cost £36 and £45 respectively. The meal deal was I have based my review on the price I paid. Note that prices can be significantly more expensive. The meal deal was £27.99 a day, offering the full breakfast range and a choice of two courses in the evening.
The hotel is quite unusual for Premier Inn. It is in the grounds of Griff House; once home to author George Elliot. The Beefeater restaurant occupies the house itself, some of it being the original building and some a more recent extension. Most of the accommodation is extended from this again, leaving to a sizable complex extending off the original Griff House. There are some leafy grounds to walk around and explore. Plenty of trees and grass. Some of it is car parking, but there is a playground for children and an old pond, too. The latter (pond) is becoming overgrown and no-longer accessible, but some old benches suggest that people were once able to walk around it. Perhaps at a time before Premier Inn owned the site. There are a few outbuildings that belonged to the original house. These are tucked away, have real character, but unfortunately are slowly falling into ruin. Adjacent to the main road, hidden behind trees are the remnants of old advertising boards; no longer visible from the road and completely abandoned. The remaining half of the estate now appears to be a farmer's field and has nothing to do with the hotel. Clearly there is plenty of history here, a once peaceful estate now sandwiched between two very noisy roads.
I was initially allocated Room 8. I was not comfortable with this, due to it having an interlocking door to Room 7. The receptionist was very helpful and relocated me to Room 3. My new room was great. It overlooked a grassed area (Room 8 overlooked the car park and had some noise from the kitchen fans when the window was open). Room 3 was very quiet. The room was very clean and had a bath. I noticed some reviews mention dirty rooms or damp in the bathrooms. I had no problems with this at all. Perhaps it depends on the room. Certainly some rooms were much closer to the noisy kitchen fans. I am not 100% sure whether some rooms are directly above them. This would not be ideal at all and those customers have my sympathies.
The restaurant, takes-up much of the old Griff House. It therefore has a charming character to it from the exterior. Inside is a standard theme pub, serving good quality food; at least in my experience. Both nights I had steak; which does require a slight additional fee, up to £5 depending on which type you choose. It was fantastic. The best steaks I have had in years. Interestingly on the second night, the portion was much bigger; i.e. more chips etc. The price was the same and it maybe depended on who was cooking.
Breakfast was good quality. The cooked breakfast is plated-up on demand on not self-service. Guests can choose how many sausages and bacon strips they want. This means the food arrived hot, rather than being sat for a while as with some buffets. The staff were very friendly. The restrooms and the restaurant were both very clean and well cared for.
Outside the pub is a lovely seating area with rope lights. Griff House gave it the feeling of staying somewhere independent, rather than a Premier Inn. I liked this and felt I was getting the best of both worlds.
I can see why the hotel has had some bad reviews, however. If I was located near to the fans, or above the outdoor beer garden speaker, I would not be pleased at all. Also, dynamic pricing can cause massive variations in what people pay. Had I been paying £150 a night, my review would be far more critical.
A great stay and I hope to return again.
- Navigate60585573975 (8/5): Clean and tidy but basic - Pillows ok.
Bedroom was clean and tidy, but basic.
It was a double room for 2 people but there was only one bath towel and hand towel so had to ask at reception for another set which i found quite annoying.
Would have been nice to have a small fridge to keep drinks cool.
- Y1162JWannes (2/5): Poor - I felt this place was very tired looking and a bit dirty. It was a nightmare to us as we booked 2 rooms for family and the stairs was so difficult for her to manage. Even the restaurant was very grubby could do with a good clean not the best experience I’ve ever had.
- paulasG2326KI (2/5): Absolutely grim ! - Booked for one night stay & have to say will not be returning!
Reception staff extremely helpful & friendly on arrival.
We had room 33 on second floor , room had had an awful smell , worse in bathroom. Tiny cramped room very drab & in need of major update , nothing like the standard of previous premier inns we have stayed in.
The one & only positive to this stay was a comfortable bed.
The restaurant for breakfast was dimly lit & has very dark decor, very tired & worn soft furnishings, tables were sticky , worn out dated carpet that needed a good hoover, in-fact whole place needs a revamp !
Breakfast was passable just , although obviously not ingredients of a high standard.
- TGR2014 (10/5): Breakfast is superb - They do the best breakfast. Food perfectly cooked and good quality. I have been visiting this hotel for years now. So I always get a warm friendly welcome from Linda. She is in complete control and always very busy. By far the best service. I am always in at 6:30 and it's the only premier inn I stay at that's actually ready to serve at that time. A great start to my day.
Well done Linda and great job Mr chef.
- drag0ngwyn (8/5): Overall ok but overpriced for the room standard - The beds are too small but the staff are friendly and helpful. The food is adequate for a group pub but again lovely staff. The hotel overpriced for the room size and facilities, it was clean and tidy and in pleasant surroundings. I shall now just put anything down as it insists on 200 words and I've said all there is to say!
- michellelC2802QH (4/5): Wouldn't stay here again !! - Great experience at check in very friendly, and the Beefeater next door was one of the best, but that's the positives over.
A very run down hotel in need of a lick of paint and revamp. One of the worse rooms I have ever stayed in, mould, stains all over paint work, hairs in bath, and a room not hoovered. Complained, and still not done for the 2nd night. I don't agree very often with leaving a poor review, but thought I should, as if its between this hotel and another, don't book here.
- emmsiecat (10/5): Perfect accommodation for a family visit in the Midlands - Perfectly located hotel for visiting family in Nuneaton. Really pleased with the price paid for two nights during Easter holidays. Our family room was quiet, clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a base in the Midlands.
- Vacation28188872356 (10/5): Fabulous experience. - Staff were fantastic. Nothing was to much trouble. They looked after us from our arrival to our departure. Well done all. We will definitely be using the hotel again. Easy access and large car park. Beefeater restaurant at the hotel. Good food and real ales.
