mour Hotel
"Stayed here for one night. Rooms and bathrooms very dated and tired. Beds and pillows very uncomfortable. I went down for breakfast about 8am and everything was cold and had run out. No juice machine, just empty jugs. Sadly I wouldn’t recommend this hotel."

Roomzzz Nottingham City
"Clean and modern, all facilities were decent. Might be noisy at the weekend, as it’s next door to Rock City, esp if a bands playing. Check your parking though beforehand, as the QPark next door no longer has concessions. Pre book with the hotel or Q Park before arriving."
