The Property — Premier Inn
A reliable, no-fuss chain hotel on the edge of Nottingham's city centre. The lobby smells of fresh carpet and coffee, with a self-check-in kiosk and a small seating area that feels more functional than cosy. It suits budget-minded leisure travellers or business visitors who want a clean, predictable room and don't mind a 10-minute walk into the main shopping and restaurant areas. The USP is the included all-you-can-eat breakfast and free fast Wi-Fi, not character.
Chronicles of Nottingham
Nottingham grew from a Saxon settlement into a major medieval market town, famously tied to the Robin Hood legend and the site of Nottingham Castle, built in 1068. The city's industrial boom came in the 19th century with lace-making, cycling (Raleigh) and pharmaceuticals (Boots). Its architectural spine runs from the Victorian Gothic Council House in the Old Market Square to the modern glass of the Broadmarsh redevelopment. Culturally, Nottingham is now known for its two universities, a vibrant live music scene, and a strong independent food and drink culture, especially in the Lace Market and Hockley districts.
Best Time to Visit
Full Nottingham guide →Best months
May and September offer mild temperatures (14-20°C), long daylight, and city parks in bloom or autumn colour, with fewer tourists than summer.
Peak / festival surge
July is peak season due to school holidays and the Nottingham Riverside Festival (late July). Hotel prices can rise 30-40% and the city centre gets crowded, especially around the Castle and Old Market Square.
Budget shoulder season
March and October are ideal budget months: room rates drop, daytime highs of 10-15°C are still pleasant for walking, and there are fewer queues at major attractions like the City of Caves.
Weather & packing
Nottingham's climate is famously changeable — you can get sun, drizzle and a cool breeze all in one afternoon. Pack layers including a waterproof jacket and comfortable walking shoes; an umbrella is non-negotiable in July.
Live City Briefing — Nottingham
- Broadmarsh shopping centre is closed for a major redevelopment; the bus station has moved to a temporary site on Collin Street until 2027.
- The city's electric scooter trial continues — visitors over 18 can hire them via the Lime app, but riding on pavements is banned and fines apply.
- Nottingham Castle reopens in June 2026 after its latest refurbishment; timed-entry tickets are now required and should be booked well in advance for summer visits.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Premier Inn, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4–6 facing the rear courtyard (away from Goldsmith Street). These are high enough to avoid street-level noise but within the lift’s reach, which here serves floors up to 6.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1–2 overlooking Goldsmith Street: they get direct traffic noise from the A60 (busy dual carriageway) and early-morning bin collection. Also skip rooms next to the lift shaft or service stairwell, identifiable by a floor-plan ask at check-in.
Best views
The best view is from rooms on floors 4–6 overlooking the rear — you’ll see the Lace Market rooftops and the spire of St Mary’s Church, with less street clutter. Front-facing rooms give a direct view of the Nottingham Playhouse and the Theatre Royal, but that comes with road noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 4–6 are the quietest — furthest from street-level and above the reception/bar hum on floor 1. The hotel’s lift stops at all floors, so these are still easily accessible.
🔊 Noise notes
Goldsmith Street is part of the A60, a main route into Nottingham city centre. Expect constant traffic from 6am to midnight, plus bus stops at both ends. The hotel’s bar stays open until 11pm on weekends, so lower-floor rooms near the bar can get chatter and music bleed.
Insider tips
1. Use the unmarked alley between Goldsmith Street and Fletcher Gate for a quieter smoking area and shortcut to the Lace Market. 2. At check-in, ask for a room on floors 4–6 and specifically request ‘rear-facing’ — they’re not always offered first but are quieter.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
