Good Points: Good city centre location modern facilities
Bad Points: nowhere to stop and deposit luggage before going to the separate car park.had to transport luggage a fair way. Difficult if with children,Also no bath in room.
Further Comments: Good for business travellers and young people. Not really suitable for families with young children as there is no bath and parking is problematic. There is not even a drop off zone. Facilities were good and so was the service. Nice continental breakfast buffet, no cooked food at breakfast time. There is a coffee bar in house and they do provide a limited range of meals at dinner time. There arelots of bars and restaurants in the development. Good location for shops and castle.

Good Points: room was spotlessly cleaned,bed verry comfy,crisp snow white linen!
Bad Points: instructions for use of the shower in the bathroom might be usefull to aviod near scaldings/cold showers!kittle not working,no battery cover on back of tv remote,
Further Comments: all the staff i incountered were warm,friendly,and verry helpfull,i was checked in early as there was a room ready,after travelling from 5am in the morning this was much appreciated!i found it to be a verry clean,bright,well run hotel.it could be made clearer to guests how long they as residents can drink in the bar.i find with online booking that you are given a bar closing time but not told if guests can drink on!you should also mention how near you are to nottingham rock city{music venue}.overall i had a great nights sleep in a verry nice room!

Further Comments: Clean and efficient modern hotel, very central, with a comfortable room, wifi internet, shower, etc etc. Very characterless and slightly lacking in amenities (this is sort of the selling point, but I hadn't understood that from booking it). No food available after 11, which was a real pain as that's when I checked in.
13 Group of work colleagues - 19/12/06	60%
Good Points: Clean, nice rooms, nice bathroom
Bad Points: Staff all foreign - communication problems - continental breakfast - we're in england and we were a group of work colleagues who had their christmas do the night before - we even offered to pay extra for a full english - but no it was continental or nothing
Further Comments: After a lengthy booking in (reception staff communication problem) room was really nice and the facilities really nice. Bar staff at night a bit touchy and prices were high. Really disappointed about breakfast as well - no full English option

Good Points: Proximity to City Centre, quiet rooms.
Bad Points: Shower curtain too short, water sprayed all over bathroom floor. Windows don't open for fresh air. Twin rooms - beds are not the same, one is a normal bed and the second is like a camp bed.
Further Comments: Cleanliness good, polite staff. Only problem was breakfast, no cups, no croissants, little or no staff available to replenish stocks. Visible lack of organisation in this area. Orange Juice tasted like dishwater.

Good Points: Room was a good size, very clean and everything worked. Even though it was a smoking room it didnt smell of smoke.
Further Comments: Very well situtated for going out in nottingham city centre. Easy to find the hotel and even though you have to park across the road it isnt very far and really cheap, 18 hours for ￂﾣ3! Lots of bars and restaurants within minutes of hotel and check in and out were done efficiently and with minimum effort
