The Property — Trivelles Regency
The Trivelles Regency is a functional, no-frills three-star hotel on Mansfield Road, a mile north of Nottingham city centre. Its lobby feels more like a well-kept chain motel — clean, quiet, with a reception desk that gets you checked in fast. The USP is simple: reliable budget accommodation for University of Nottingham visitors or those wanting easy access to the city without paying central rates. Best suited to travellers who treat the room as a base and spend their days out exploring.
Chronicles of Nottingham
Nottingham grew from a Saxon settlement into a major medieval trading town, famously site of Nottingham Castle and the legend of Robin Hood. During the Industrial Revolution it became a powerhouse for lace, textiles and bicycle manufacturing, particularly Raleigh. Its sandstone cliffs were tunnelled into over centuries, creating the 500-odd caves that still run beneath the city. Today Nottingham is a lively university city with a strong cultural scene, independent shops in the Lace Market district, and a notorious nightlife centred on the Old Market Square.
Best Time to Visit
Full Nottingham guide →Best months
June for long daylight hours and mostly dry weather; September for mild temperatures and thinner crowds; May for blooming gardens and pleasant walking conditions before tourist numbers peak.
Peak / festival surge
August is the busiest month, driven by Nottingham Goose Fair (late September/early October) and summer holiday visitors. Hotel prices can double in the city centre during Goose Fair; the Trivelles Regency typically stays cheaper due to its outskirts location.
Budget shoulder season
Late April and early October offer lower rates and fewer tourists, with temperatures still comfortable for sightseeing — highs around 13-16°C, occasional rain but no heatwave intensity.
Weather & packing
Nottingham's climate is notoriously fickle — you can get four seasons in one day, especially in June. Pack layers including a waterproof jacket and sturdy shoes; leave the sandals at home unless you're prepared for sudden downpours.
Live City Briefing — Nottingham
- Nottingham's tram network (NET) is running on a reduced Sunday service for summer 2025, with no trams before 9am on weekends — check the operator's site for exact dates.
- The city's motorists face ongoing roadworks on the A52 near the Nottingham Wildlife Park, causing delays of up to 25 minutes on the ring road.
- A new eco-friendly market, the Green Hustle, opens every Saturday at Sneinton Market from May to September, featuring local street food and vintage stalls.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Trivelles Regency, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor facing the rear courtyard rather than Russell Street. These floors are high enough to reduce street noise and get softer light, and the rear aspect avoids the main road. The lift serves all floors, so no stairs issue.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground or 1st floor facing Russell Street. The main entrance has a single step, and ground-floor rooms get full street noise from traffic and pedestrians on this residential road. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft on any floor — the lift is single, so it hums and stops audibly.
Best views
Best view is a rear-facing room on the 5th floor — overlooking the back gardens of terraced houses, with the city skyline visible to the southeast. Front rooms face a row of Victorian houses across Russell Street; nothing special.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5 are quietest — above street-level bustle and below any roof-level plant noise. The lift doesn't vibrate much above the 2nd floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Russell Street is a bus route (Nottingham City Transport buses run every 10-15 mins until midnight). Traffic noise is constant but moderate — not heavy lorries. The single lift is audible in adjacent rooms, especially when servicing upper floors. No nightclub or pub directly below.
Insider tips
1. Use Talbot Street Car Park (NG1 5GG) — it's a 7-minute walk and £12 for 24 hours. Book online via NCP for £9. 2. Check in after 3pm to guarantee room choice; front desk can often switch to a rear room if you ask politely. No room service or breakfast, but Thea’s Café across the road does good toasties from 7am.
- 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
