Just got back from brilliant weekend in Nottingham and had to comment on our stay at Jurys - staff really friendly and helpful, (recommended some fab places to hang out), buffet breakfast was great, our room was clean and very comfy and the location is ideal - central but not noisy. Great value for money and would def go back.

We stayed for just one night over the weekend. Booked the hotel on thier website and asked for a double room with a extra single and got it. The room was very nice, large enough for the two of us, with a nice modern bathroom. Air conditioning unit was excellent as was the tv! The room also had a hair dryer and tea and coffee. The room cost £69 for the night and I would say this was about right. We had the buffet breakfast in the morning, which was £7 and we both thought it was very nice wih lots of choice. Only downside was the parking was not adjacent to the hotel but there is a free shuttle service so cant really complain! The parking was £10 for 24hours. All in a ll its not the cheapest stay with breakfast and parking but it is a nice hotel. Its about a 5-10 minute walk to the shops but very close to the canal which has some nice bars around it and also near to the castle.

All in all no problems.

Although our two night break was pleasant enough in terms of the room itself, we did not think we had value for money. Asked for a twin, got given a double. Went for the hot buffet breakfast the first morning and most of it was cold. On the second morning, we didn't bother and did better for full English at the nearest motorway service area. The car park is now so far away that there is a shuttle bus. On the Sunday night the driver could not be found and it turned out that he also had to monitor several other sites and had been called away to one. The bar is soulless.

Stayed overnight for the My Chemical Romance concert at the Ice Arena. Travelled by train and hotel was easily spotted from the station - turn right as you leave the station entrance and it's just at the end of the road.

Hotel was also in walking proximity to all Nottingham's attractions, whilst retaining a nice, relatively quiet, canalside location.

Rooms were spotlessly clean and had all the basics, including nice bathroom, crisp linen, comfy beds, tea/coffee making facs, and TV with limited satellite channels.

Staff were friendly and helpful at all times, especially the bartender who deserves special mention. Obviously bar prices were quite high, and bar closed at 1:30 to residents, but that was fine as it stopped too much late night/early morning noise.

Didn't eat in the hotel, but had great experience overall.
