Leonardo Hotel Nottingham

Our room in the Leonardo in Nottingham frankly looked like it had been the scene of a crime. There were grotesque odd coloured stains on just about every surface together with mystery stains on the towels.

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.

Room on the 10th floor offered great city views, however was a little noisy - could ear other guests and house keepers in the corridor, there was also some traffic noise. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Bathroom should be modernised to offer better shower experience and provide more counter space but was clean. Great location to access the train station and city.
