Friendly staff and ace breakfast
Pros:

This is the second time my husband and I have stayed here as it is very close to my son's home in Ruddington. We stayed last Christmas as it was so close and reasonably priced but we so enjoyed our stay we went there again and have booked this Christmas. Usual good beds as in all Premier Inns but the joy here is the quality of the breakfast and the friendliness of the staff

Unfortunately below standard
Pros:

Unfortunately not a good room. Very tired with damage and rust. Unusually low standard for a premier inn. We will avoid in the future.

Good stay but bathroom needs urgent alterations!
Pros:

Quiet and fairly small Nottingham South Premier Inn is a welcoming hotel with helpful staff. Free car parking and tasty freshly cooked breakfast are a real plus. The choice at breakfast was good.
The beds are comfy but with very hot duvets.
The bathroom is unsafe. There is only a poor overhead shower. There are no safety rails in the shower. The side of the bath has sharp rails where you step out...they're in the way. The bath is a strange shape and looks difficult to use.
A usable and safe shower is urgently needed.
Having written that...the hotel does have a pleasant environment and staff eager to please.

Great experience
Pros:

A lovely warm welcome from Angelita at check in and at breakfast the next morning. Great room, comfy bed. Lovely, spotless breakfast room, top quality breakfast and nothing was too much trouble. Gluten free options fab too. All the staff encountered were very professional, efficient and friendly. Thanks for a great stay

Very tired looking hotel.
Pros:

Was not impressed with Premier Inn's Nottingham South hotel.
It was so expensive compared to Leeds earlier in the week, nearly double the price for an inferior hotel
When I asked the reception staff why it was so expensive I was told " if you wanted a cheap hotel, book a cheap hotel "
There was no air con and if you wanted the room cooler, you had to open the window and put up with racing traffic.
No restaurant ( other than breakfast ) but there was a grotty looking pub next door.
Lots of stained carpets in reception and stairs, plus the corridor outside my room had a lovely urine smell !!

Breakfast was really good though with chef cooking most things fresh which made a nice change and the waitress was friendly, polite and helpful.

Personally, I won't be returning but will see if city centre one is better, hope so.

Lovely staff!
Pros:

I’m 8 months pregnant and was absolutely desperate for the toilet, ran in and spoke to Amy the manager who kindly allowed me to use the bathroom. Toilets were very clean, Amy even ensured I was on after using the facilities.

Wouldn’t stay here again.
Pros:

I don’t get a good night sleep! The room was smelly. A member of staff was told and came and sprayed the room and gave a little electric device that said would make it smell better. I don’t think it helped. I didn’t sleep well at all. The bathroom floor had a dip in it and was soft. Seems like it’s about to cave through because of water damage. The electric tripped twice and had to switch on via the box above the door. Just not a good experience compared to other stays I have had in premier inn hotels.

Don’t bother
Pros:

We paid for an early book in, they weren’t ready for us and had trouble working out which room to put us in. The room was dingy, no usb ports. The bottom sheet didn’t fit the bed! Then there was only a sheet on top! Found the duvet under bed next morning but it had no duvet cover. Bathroom was ok apart from toilet which hadn’t been cleaned properly and it looked like the last occupant had vomited in it. All in all a bad experience for enough money

Excellent staff and facilities
Pros:

This is quite a small premier inn but is ideally located for visiting Nottingham. We were travelling with a trainee Guide Dog for the Blind and the hotel and staff were most accommodating to both us and the dog. Unlimited Breakfast was cooked to order and excellent value for money

An acceptable 2nd stay :-)
Pros:

The hotel itself is acceptable. Nice location, loads of parking etc. The room is not awful, but also not the best. It was clean enough.
The bed is superrrrr comfortable! We slept much longer than we were supposed to!
The highlight of our experience was with breakfast. The breakfast manager (for want of a better term) was SO on the ball... making sure that everything was ticking over properly. Her attention to detail and diligence should see her in a Michelin Star restaurant! So thank you Desree for making the breakfast experience second to none! And also thank you to Amy on reception for being so helpful.

Award winning Inn!
Pros:

Visiting Nottingham for a wedding and needed a budget friendly hotel for the night. This Premier Inn has great reviews so we decided to give it a go. Check in was excellent due to Angelike! She was super friendly and very helpful! A real star!!!

The rooms are nice and roomy, clean and very comfortable! It's no wonder this Premier Inn is an award winner!!

Ideal for Trent Bridge Test
Pros:

We stay at this Premier Inn regularly for the cricket and it is always excellent value, with good quality facilities and excellent staff.

The only downside for anyone really is the lack of a lift, but it is only one flight of stairs to negotiate.

It is on the bus route to Trent Bridge, so it is easy to get to the cricket.

Would highly recommend this hotel
Pros:

I have stayed in this hotel with my mum on and off since Christmas last year. The staff are extremly helpful at the reception desk and at the breakfast bar for whatever help you may need. They are very good at accommodating to accessibility needs too - I always stay on the ground floor due to not being able to do a lot of walking and not being able to cope with stairs. Rooms are really good stanard and the beds are so comfortable. The breakfast hot and cold are extremly good value for money - ranging from a wide choice of cereals, fruits, breads and crumpets, juices, many choices of teas too as well as coffee and lovely hot food from to either choose at a buffet style or order when you arrive. I will be sure to stay here and highly recommend this hotel.
