Hi,
I arrived at the Hilton Nottingham ( Milton Street) after a 30min taxi ride from East Midlands Airport.
Check in was quick and efficient and I was given room 115 on a Dinner Bed and Breakfast Rate of £ 89 GBP ( company paying for the visit). My room reservation was for a double room. Abo****ely no recogniition of HH Gold benefits were given.
I got to the room and it was a double room with 2 single beds with a view of .... a large metal tube outside in the inner courtyard the back walls.Room 115 is beside an internal swing door so you may get some noise ( I did not hear anytihng after 1130pm). I also thought I would here noise from the vent outside but no problems.
With no ac in the room ( no vent in the bathroom) after a shower the bathroom steamed up and you could feel the room tempreature rise.
The room was small but reaosnably well apointed with Internet via the TV ( 10p per minute), tea/coffeee, fan ( no a/c) and a small desk. Alarm clock was via the TV.The bathroom was small with the WC on a diagonal wall which reduced the bathroom space. However it was clean ( both bathorrom and room looked recently renovated).Water pressure was fine.
The restaurant was the Bar Bacoa which offered a wide variety of meals at reasonable prices.Service and food quality were good.
The fitness centre ( living well) was very nice with a large fitness centre, 18m swimming pool with sauna and steam room ( open 630am to 10pm ( closes at 8pm at weekends).
Breakfast was at the Bar Bacoa ( full breakfast included in the rate) with a samll slection of fruit but a large hot selection, wide choice of cereal, bread and yoghut. Service was ok ( no second cup of coffee but I was in a hurry) ( self service juice).
Check out was quick and the bill was sent directly to the company for payment.
I was disapointed that no upgrades/benefits were offered and would have complained but I was only there for a short time ( 8pm last night to 9am today).
The hotel is next to the Victoria centre in the north part of the city centre and 15mins walk from the railway station. The Castle is work a walk up to to enjoy some wonderful views.
Regards
