No towels - rude staff
Pros:

Just as I was stepping into the shower I realised there were no towels in the room. Had to get dressed again - long walk to reception. Overnight desk staff handed me towels with no apology and smirked in my face when I asked for one.

The lack of towels was a minor but annoying hassle. The attitude of the staff really got under my skin.

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

Crap service & poor service
Pros:

The beefeater next door has the rudest male and female member of staff I've ever encountered. Order side saled, which came as a pate' starter for somoene else. Threw myvside salad on my table. No manners. Only two staff serving, constantly moaning. Takes 20 mins to order food. Never again

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.

Excellent for our overnight stay.
Pros:

Annual trip to Xmas market in Nottingham and first time we didn’t stay city centre . This will now be our first choice. Easy free parking , simply enter reg plate in hotel reception. Tram stop few steps from the hotel. £5.50 per person all day travel. Arrived in middle of all the hustle and bustle of the lace market about 15 mins hassle free. No driving round searching for parking spaces and then lugging cases to hotel. Would have liked early check in but no availability, the lady on reception found us somewhere to get changed and stored luggage, all while being super friendly and welcoming.
Breakfast, in an attractive beefeater on site, the usual PI standard .

Pros:

Annoying electric radiator beeps when it comes on so had to turn it right down to avoid it waking my son during the night so chilly upon waking. Tried working out how to disable the beep but no such luck

An all rounder
Pros:

We stopped off here twice, on the way to and from our holiday to break up the journey and both times the service was excellent. The ladies at the front desk were so helpful and welcoming and made checking in very easy! They were also so kind to our little boy and really put him at ease. The rooms both times were spotless, the beds were comfortable and all the facillities were in good working order. On our first stay we had breakfast which was a very pleasant experience. There were plenty of continental and hot food options and everything tasted great!

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.

Cleanliness was very very poor
Pros:

Was very poor cleanliness I had found pubic hair on the toilet seat which should definitely not be there I had a 2 year old running around as it was a family outing so she could of touched it or anything if I hadn’t found it first….

Bed and mattress maybe they need a new mattress I woke up at 5am couldn’t get back to sleep as the mattress was far to hard for my liking other than that the hotel was just like a standerd hotel nothing special

Lovely stay
Pros:

I stayed here with my husband for 3 days before visiting my son in dubai, a lovely crew of people with very respectibal rooms, had breakfast here aswell and it was delicious. I was a bit confudled about the low groaning noise every night around 9.52, sounds slightly like a whale calf from david Attenboroughs blue planet we watched that night on my hubby's galaxy mini iPad.

Convenient modern hotel next to a Beefeater
Pros:

This a large Premier Inn hotel close to the M1, off the A610 four miles north of Nottingham. It offers free parking as long as you register you number plate on the tablet in reception and is opposite the Phoenix Park tram stop which provides convenient green transport into the city centre, universities and attractions. Staff were friendly and our room was modern, clean and well maintained.

We were on a dinner bed and breakfast deal with the Miller's Barn Beefeater next door which offered great value for money, good service and great food and drink.

Good value for money, rooms need some tlc
Pros:

I booked the family room, was a little disappointed as thought it would be bigger. The bed was comfy though, and it was great they had happy hour every night. However the air con wasn't the best and it was quite noisy and there were horrible stains on the walls which really should have been cleaned.
Good location.

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.

Premier Plus
Pros:

Booked a Premier Plus room to see what the difference was! Coffee machine was excellent, nice clean room. Bed was a little soft for us but slept well.
Reception staff were really helpful and had breakfast freshly cooked as it was quiet.

Pros:

We have stayed here many times over the past few years. The staff are always helpful and willing to go that extra mile to help me and my wife. If I could rate it with more stars I would recommend the hotel and staff always.
