The Strathdon Hotel, Nottingham - Reviews & Ratings"Nice little hotel, Does need to have a working lift in such an high building though. Good location and friendly staff. Would recommend this hotel for a short break or over night stay, too smaller rooms for any longer then that. All in all a good little hotel. " (107672196)
Friendly Staff, clean and tidy. Close to city centre.
Lift did not work, Rooms were very warm. Alittle on the small side.

The Strathdon Hotel, Nottingham - Reviews & Ratings"I would book again, but not sure if I'd order food and I'd definately check the lift was working before booking!" (107515737)
The staff were extremly polite and helpful and responded to queries very quickly.
The food delivered for room service was not of the best quality, leading to me dining out during my stay. The lift was also out of service which was not great when I had to get two suitcases down the stairs

The Strathdon Hotel, Nottingham - Reviews & Ratings"Clean and comfortable, very handy for where we were going but the lifts being out of order was inconvenient. I'd stay again if I knew they'd be working (unless they could put us on a lower floor)." (107127787)
Close to where we wanted to go and had single rooms (we were a group of three)
Both lifts out of order for the whole length of the stay (only one night, but a pain nonetheless). Second time I've stayed here, one lift was out of order last time. Also; I had two rooms booked under the same name and they only had one put aside for us - fortunately it wasn't a busy night.

the facilities in the hotel were very good, I liked the hairdryer in the room and the iron and ironing board. Tea and coffe were topped up every day.

Location.
The hotel needs a face lift. It is old fashioned, dark and stuffy. The windows are horrible. They do not close properly and they do not ope properly either. The room I stayed in was too small. The bathroom was awful. The tiles were coming off the wall and the ceiling was patchy and pieces were coming off in places. The TV did not even have all the standard five UK channels.

Pleasant enough room, and very central.
The room was noisy unless the windows were shut. It was very hot and stuffy in the room, even though it wasn't that hot a day. It would be unbearable in a heatwave!

The Strathdon Hotel, Nottingham - Reviews & Ratings"The hotel was lovely, staff were friendly and helpful. Had a brilliant stay. However, I was a little disappointed with the parking, it stated that it was free parking on site, however there was little available parking on site which meant we had to pay £14 a night at the local car park and then walk to the hotel." (97496694)
The accomdation was clean and tidy, it was very comfortable and had everything in that we needed.
It was a little hot at times.

Good sized rooms, well presented lobby and great night security
Lift was out of order and we were placed on top floor, not the staff's fault but would have been nice to have been informed before the visit as one of our group had an injured knee.

The Strathdon Hotel, Nottingham - Reviews & Ratings"I think the above says it all!" (97909447)
The room was clean and the hotel was centrally located.
When we arrived at our room we found that, although we had booked a room with a double bed, the room had twin beds. Reception moved us to a double room but when then found that the room had only been stocked with towels and toiletries for one person. The room was cold with the central heating only lukewarm at best.

Convenient to our needs.
Very noisy, from outside traffic and air conditioning units even with both window and secondary glazing unit firmly closed.

It is close to the city centre and convenient.
The car park was a distance away from the hotel and it was a bit noisy being next to the main road and with some guests arriving back in the hotel very late in the early hours of the morning .

Also sleeping is important and cleaniness and I was pleasantly surprise to experience both. The breakfast was also lovely; all in all this was definitely value for money." (99392185)
It is extremely close to the Nottingham Playhouse
The decor is quite old fashioned

It was close to the city centre. The rooms had plenty of facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The room was unbearably hot even with the window open. But hotel policy was heating was only changed seasonally.

The Strathdon Hotel, Nottingham - Reviews & Ratings"Much of my experience in this hotel was positive. However, the lifts were old and antiquated, with only one of the two working. The Room Rate did not include breakfast, and both were overpriced, although the Breakfast was nice. I was lucky in being able to park on site, but most have to park in a not-too-adjacent public facility, although the hotel do validate the daily ticket to the value of eight pounds." (99421276)
The room was warm and comfortable.
The room was small and internet access was available only in the lobby area, whereas the expectation was that it would be in the room.

The Strathdon Hotel, Nottingham - Reviews & Ratings"This is a nice hotel, with decent rooms and friendly, helpful staff. When I stayed in mid-March 2007, the rooms were rather hot, and my room did not appear to have any Tea and Coffee Making facilities. Had I said something to the staff during my stay they probably would have dealt with the problem. If you need accessibility, beware of the main entrance - it has a large flight of steps with handrail up the middle, then 3 steps up to reception with no handrail and a plant in the way! There is a side entrance leading into the bar area though apparently that is better for accessibility. And yes, there are 2 lifts!" (99186963)
The room was just the right size and the staff were very friendly and helpful, on both reception and in the bar/restaurant areas.
The room was rather hot, and opening the window didn't make much difference apart from letting in a lot of traffic noise.

The Strathdon Hotel, Nottingham - Reviews & Ratings"The staff in the bar and restaurant were pretty hopeless. We ordered snacks at around 7.30 and didn't get any food until 9.15... After half an hour the waitress came and told us they'd run out of certain meals. So we chose something else and then 20 minutes later they came and told us they didn't have the right food for the new order. Just very disorganised and inefficient. The room and stay was good value for money." (99771262)
Clean and all in working order. Good location for Nottingham city centre. Check in was good and helpful staff.
The bar and restaurant was inefficient

The Strathdon Hotel, Nottingham - Reviews & Ratings"My only two criticisms are the lack of any internet facility, and Personally I found the food poor. I do not like packet potatoes and am used to a Mediterranean diet this is not allowed for in your hotel" (99907776)
To me, good old fashioned comfort. A good room to relax in at the end of the day.

Within easy reach of Nottingham centre
Main door locked on arrival , we had to ring the night bell and wait for a member of staff to let us in, on departure the was no member of staff at reception to take our keys and let us out. No one appeared, or answered the telephone, finally we escaped via the fire exit, a bit shambolic really!

I could also make other suggestions including parking which is not easy-especially for those who don't know Nottingham well." (3305168743)

The Strathdon Hotel, Nottingham - Reviews & Ratings"I like the Strathdon because it is central and it has reetained the name with which I am familiar. I therefore knew exactly how to get there. Knowing the one-way system in that part of town helped. There was parking for the car and help with the luggage. The staff were particularly helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel may be a little old-fashioned but that is not a problem. my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay." (3305064640)

The staff were friendly.
The room was very, very noisy as it was on a main street and the double glazing was not up to keeping the sound out. One o fthe lifts didn't work and the other was very tiny. The room was small.
