Top 10 East Midlands Airport Hotels

Set in lovely grounds this imposing building is full of history but like some many hotels of this age needs a big face lift. The only modernised area I came across was the toilets just off reception. The Main bar area with leather bound (not certain if faux?) and chesterfields is a lovely place in which to sit and relax with a drink. Looking up there is a balcony which is walked along to reach the bedrooms thereby offered a different perspective when looking down. I booked a king room with breakfast and asked if could have a nice view, and was told there were only a couple of rooms with poor views anyway so I need not worry?! Well the room we had number 14 had four small windows looking out on to the rear of the hotel. And the view included a heavily wooded area of wheelie bins - so much for the view; in hindsight we should have asked for another room. The first morning the breakfast was a 'help yourself' and all of the food was just warm - not hot. The coffee poured from a jug was also only warm. However on the second morning my full english was cooked to order and very tasty, but again the coffee was only warm. This was remedied when I asked a waitress if she would change it. The room was spacious though and the bed comfy, shower adequate and tea and coffee facilities acceptable. Staff were helpful and generally cheerful. Lastly it is no longer run by Best Western. A very interesting place to stay if visiting Nottingham and not too far to drive in to the town.

We chose this hotel as we needed to be close to QMC for a couple of days (less than 10 mins walk). From start to finish the experience was great. The staff were lovely - nothing was too much trouble. Lovely, spacious room overlooking the lake and wonderful bird spotting. Great to be able to park free of charge and walk to QMC. Breakfast excellent value and a great choice. Buses into Nottingham from the top of the road. Our No 1 choice for our next visit.

I came to the Crown Plaza, Nottingham for a conference early June. The hotel itself was nice, modern and comfortable. My room was not adequately cleaned as there were hairs in my shower upon arrival, unreplenished hygiene products in the bathroom and the toilet uncleaned. The room Itself was small, but fine for sleeping in. My TV did not work, but as it was one night this wasn’t a bother. The breakfast and lunch were great, formal dinner however was awful and poor, not worth paying for. Servers were unversed in allergen training, and the allergen and dietary requirement food options were awfully poor. The manager on duty however, was apologetic and wonderful. The best thing about this hotel was the staff (excusing F&B teams poor allergen training and food options). Particularly Abigail, Malakai and Zak on the bar who were so warm, polite and accommodating. Wonderful service throughout and a credit to the team. Thank you three.

Now, I can't speak for everyone's experience as I'm sure opinion will vary but I can o ly speak to my experience. So here we go... Me and my partner arrived earlier than expected and the hotel was extremely accommodating and checked us in right away. We got a room on the ground floor, which had a door that opens into the court yard at the back of the resteraunt. It was really lovely. The rooms was clean and beautiful, I found absolutely no faults in the room. I have stayed in many hotels that claim to be 4 star but usually aren't based on one thing or another. This is what a proper 4 star hotel should be like in my opinion. The food at the resteraunt was very flavourful and dessert was amazing. They also have room service available. The breakfast buffet..... Was absolutely incredible. They had a broad selection of foods, there was literally something for everyone. I had a full English and it was SO good. Honestly I didn't want to leave The staff are very friendly, professional and they were always on point, period. We were originally going to stay at the Premier Inn or Holiday Inn but I am so glad we chose this hotel instead because we had an amazing experience and I'd loveto come back. If you're going to be in the area, don't hesitate, honestly you won't regret it.

The hotel location is very convenient, just six or seven minutes away to the centre of Nottingham. There is a big Asian supermarket directly opposite the hotel, and the city rail station is next to it. It can be said that it is very convenient for travel. The rooms and bathrooms are quite large and it is quite good.

We had arranged a weekend with friends in Nottingham and had booked 2 rooms. First morning the housekeeping staff came as we were leaving, for the day out we had planned. When we returned we expected our room to have been serviced, no towels at all in the room and no made bed. Nothing on the tea/ coffee tray had been replenished. When we rang reception to get some towels no one answered so after a long day we had to go down to reception to get them to get us some towels, after waiting nearly 5 mins while the reception staff ignored us we were told someone would bring us some towels. Next morning our friends went down to breakfast early before us, to be told it wasn’t included in the room - it was, and rather than check the booking they were very rudely told that they couldn’t have breakfast. They were not even offered the option to pay for a breakfast. They ended up going elsewhere for breakfast much to our embarrassment after we had arranged the weekend and booked the room. After speaking with reception they confirmed that breakfast was included and gave us a card saying we were entitled to breakfast - much use that is as our friends had already gone and had breakfast elsewhere and we were not offered a refund on our booking.

An amazing stay at the doubletree!! We love this hotel, the best place to stay in Nottingham. We spent several evenings in the hotel bar, Robin and LJ were always willing to look after us, give recommendations, and go the extra mile to ensure we had a great experience. We will definitely be back!!
