What an amazing find in the heart of the campus and right next to the conference centre.Rooms were large, bright, clean and modern (mine had an extra large bath as well) and the breakfast buffet was extensive, including all the expected hit and cold options but also some other things like smoothies.Really would recommend

Fantastic service and lovely grounds. All of the staff we encountered were smiling, positive and genuinely happy to help. You must take a walk around the grounds. Absolutely beautiful.Pay extra for breakfast, definitely worth it.Rooms could do with updating, I'd personally prefer the carpet removed but fine nonetheless

What a wonderful find this hotel was. Great space and surroundings set in the grounds of the university and minutes away from our friends’ house. The staff are so pleasant, helpful and professional in every department. The room was spacious and clinically clean. We dined in the restaurant on the first evening, the food was delicious and the service excellent. Breakfast on both days had a huge array of items and this too was delicious. We will definitely stay again when we next visit.

This is a very comfortable hotel on the university campus, so just out of the city centre. Rooms are reasonable size with a full size bathroom. There’s a kettle coffee, tea and mugs.|Breakfast is good with plenty of choice. The car park can be busy when there are events but we have always found a space.

The hotel is conveniently set in Nottingham in the grounds of the university. It's a modernish building ample parking, has a bar and restaurant |The rooms are large but a bit tired, bathroom are clean but again tired. The bar is very very slow, and there isn't enough seating done stairs in the bar area. |Staff were helpful
