Midtown Lodge

what a clean, convenient and cosy little hostel right in the heart of Nottingham city centre. met some amazing people from all walks of life and only a six minute walk to the train station. well-equipped kitchen for me to cook so i felt right at home. lots of stairs but they kept my luggage for me which was so helpful. thank you Midtown! i’ll be back!

I booked into for one night as I was only in Nottingham for one night for work. When I arrived I was met by a lovely member of staff who showed me the facilities and which bed I was sleeping in, he also told me the few house rules (no eating in the dorms, no loud music, don't be a d*ck). I was in a 6 person room and it looked clean, the bed was comfortable enough for one night. The kitchen was well equipped and there was free tea and coffee. There were only two showers but the one I used was decent and the water was hot. The toilets were clean and there was plenty of loo roll (I think this is an indicator of whether a place is well run and looked after) The hostel doesn't have parking, and that was quite expensive (it cost me almost as much as the hostel stay did). That's not the fault of the hostel, but it is something to be aware of. My bed cost me £20 for the night, and I think that is great value for money. This hostel far exceeded my expectations. Would I stay there again? Yes.

I "stayed" for one night and after being given my bed and dropping my stuff I went out for dinner. When I was back someone else had been given my bed and was sleeping with my stuff. I took my things and had to ask a friend to stay in his sofa because there was no one there I could complain. Literally paid for a place I didn't even use.
