We had one night at this hotel before flying from East Midlands the following morning. Not only is it super convenient for that, its a super location, and was very comfortable too. We had dinner at a local pub too, and the area was lovely, friendly staff and locals. I would highly recommend, and we are likely to book again in the future.

Quick overnight

A good stop over place. I imagine parking could be a problem but we were luckily ok. Inside is far superior to outside image. Breakfast ( self serve) was great. Loved the friendliness of the place. Only grip was that the bed felt really cold getting into it...had to stick the radiators on!!!

Great value!

This is a great value small hotel. It was peaceful and clean. We liked having use of a full kitchen and there was a good range of breakfast items available. Very good value compared to other hotels in the local area which we have used before.

Great place to stay and have your own space

I love this little hotel in Castle Donington. For the business traveller, it offers a place to be on your own. You can cook your own meals when you want, or go out. Rooms are fab, great wifi and so quiet.

Good location. Modern clean room. Ground floor and windows wouldn't open so bit hot. Small room but only stayed 1 night. Loved feature fireplace. Pubs near by were really good. Parking limited especially when vans parked there but Parking in pub ideal so not an ossue. Easy to use convenient , will return.

Liked: Cleanliness
This property is in the very center of Castle Donington. It was quiet and walkable, and it was clean but I feel it was expensive for what it was since the room was pretty simple. One of the things I didn't realize was that breakfast is included but you have to cook it yourself. So if that's a problem for you, you should consider it. I liked that format and we always had what we needed for breakfast (eggs, milk, bread). Overall this feels more like an Airbnb rather than a hotel.

Pleasant Stay

The hotel doesn't have a reception and is self check in, but the communication was really good, so this didn't pose a problem. There is limited parking on site with free on street parking not far away. The room was a moderate size and the little extras like bottled water, toiletries, defuser, air freshener and Netflix on the TV, were a nice touch. The bathroom was a decent size and the shower was great. The road does get a bit noisy at times, but gets quieter at night. Obviously nothing the hotel can do about this, but something to bear in mind and you could maybe ask for a room at the rear. The only thing the room could of done with is a chair, hairdryer and hooks on the walls. Overall a good stay and would stay again.
