Before writing this review, it is only fair to acknowledge that Colwick Hall did refund the cost of one night of our stay in recognition of the issues we identified to them at the time. We stayed here for two nights for a family wedding in September and dined in the restaurant on the first night. Room Our room was a Deluxe room and was of a reasonable size with a good-sized bathroom; however, it was lacking in some areas and there were some issues. The wardrobe was not overly large, meaning that it was not suitable for hanging my wife’s dresses, meaning that they had to be hung from the door frame of the bathroom. On the first evening, we found that one of the hand basins had a constant drip, which disturbed our sleep. Due to the lack of hanging space, we were unable to close the bathroom door, so eventually had to resort to placing a towel in the basin to stop the noise from the drip. On the second night, it rained heavily, and we were awoken at 5.00 as the roof was leaking and water was running along one of the beams and dripping onto the floor. We contacted reception and they provided champagne buckets to catch the drips and advised that another room had experienced a similar issue. As the other room was part of the wedding party, we were aware that it was on the other side of the hotel; therefore, we think it is unlikely that the roof became leaky in two different parts of the hotel on the same night and at least one of the leaks must have been already known. The finish and cleanliness of the room was lacking in parts. As well as the previously mentioned wardrobe, a full-length mirror had been fixed to the wall in a position that made it largely unusable. The room also appeared to have been redecorated without the furniture and fixings not been moved/removed as there was paint spattered on surfaces, including the television. The bed, while comfortable, had hairs and stains on the bedding, leading to us requesting that it be changed. In the bathroom, as well as the leaking tap, the toilet seat was stained and ill fitting. There was also a random selection of toiletries with two shower gels and shampoo, but no conditioner. Restaurant We ate in Byron’s Bistro on the first night of the stay, where they offer 2 courses for £35 or 3 courses for £40. We felt, based on what we ordered and ate, that this was overpriced. The vegetarian options were limited and the main course, Mediterranean vegetables with crushed new potatoes and a sauce, was disappointing as it consisted heavily of red onion. The other members of our party all had steaks, which were reasonable, while the desserts were OK, but nothing out of the ordinary. We also had breakfast in Byron’s Bistro on both mornings of our stay. There was a fair selection of hot and cold items to choose from; however, the coffee was not palatable at all. Wedding Venue Colwick Hall is a lovely setting and has a lot of potential as a wedding venue. Our experience as wedding guests, however, was tha

We stayed in the hotel over the weekend (Fri, Sat & Sunday) as we were attending ”The Gloworm Festival” with other family members who were glamping. The room was small, but was perfect for our activity which was get up, get ready, and go out to the festival! We slept like logs as the beds were nice and comfy. Using the bedroom as a base to be located in and to safely store our belongings was perfect. The TV in our room was the size of a postage stamp but who cares, we were at the festival. It fit the bill for our needs so we give it a thumbs up. On leaving we spent a few minutes chatting to a lovely staff member who brought some festive cheer to my mood (I am sorry I did not catch the gent's name but we will call him ”Santa Klaus” for those who know! But what a lovely man to have at the reception desk. Was it the best hotel I have visited, no. Was it the worst, no. But for our weekend it did all we asked for and for all that was needed. A safe warm place to sleep with safe parking and nice staff.

This hotel is just a short walk away from the train station, which makes it pretty central regardless of where in Nottingham you need to go. The rooms are clean and comfortable, although I dislike the insistent emails on the lead in to my visit trying to get you to check in online. Good job I didn't, as I arrived early unexpectedly and was still able to get a room straightaway, whereas I would have had a couple of hours to wait if I'd done the online check in. This is a decent chain of hotels, I've had good experiences in the past and this visit was also fine. Only real complaint was the absence of biscuits with the tea and coffee set up in the room - surely a basic human right.

It’s very convenient to live in Mercury Hotel to plan a tour in Nottingham. Regarding the excellent location, I can only take 1-minute walk to the tram station named Lace Market, it takes you to Beeston or remote retail outlets within couple of minutes. Also, I takes leisure walks within few minutes to city centre for shopping at M&S, Primark, Victor Centre, etc. Besides, you may never forget supports/advice from the enthusiastic and knowledgeable hotel teams.
