Good breakfast.

I stayed for one night at the Holiday Inn Nottingham by IHG on 28th March 2026, using it as a base while attending the Gorillaz gig at the Motorpoint Arena. It proved to be an excellent choice for both comfort and convenience. The location is good, although it is situated on a busy retail park (lots of cars speeding to stores!). That said, it is within easy walking distance of the Meadows Way West tram stop, and also close to the Nottingham Canal. We chose to walk along the canal into the city centre, which took around 20–25 minutes and was very pleasant on a dry, if slightly cold, spring day. The hotel itself was excellent. The staff were welcoming, polite, and professional throughout our stay. We were allocated a top-floor executive room, which was quiet, spacious, and immaculately clean. The walk-in shower was fantastic, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a very good night’s sleep. Breakfast was a standard buffet offering. While nothing out of the ordinary, it was perfectly adequate and served its purpose, with enough choice to start the day well. I would also recommend a visit to the Navigation Inn on Wilford Street, located by the canal. It’s a great spot for a drink and offers an excellent pub meal in a relaxed setting. All in all, this was an excellent and comfortable stay, very much in line with what you would expect from the Holiday Inn brand. I would happily stay here again and recommend it to others visiting Nottingham.
