Bestwood Lodge - Nottingham

I stay in hotels every week on buisness and always leave the most honest reviews I can. Firstly the staff were friendly and extremely helpful and greeted me with a smile which means a lot. The parking is fine loads of room The location is amazing and has lovely views The room is basic but was clean and did come with all the amenities I needed The hotel itself is in need of a makeover but no doubt would cost a great deal as it's a big beautiful old building. The only negative i have is the dining room and the food. It was very cold while i was waiting for my food and I could smell damp and a dirty smell coming from somewhere. When the food arrived it was nice but the chicken was very dry although the salad and chips were fresh. The dirty damp smell was overwhelming and did put me off the food a bit. Apart from that a nice stay but to summarise... Hotel needs work structurally Old damp smells need addressing especially in dining areas and customers need to feel warm in the dining area A big thanks to the staff they were amazing though.

When ever i have visited Bestwood lodge I have always found the place to be well managed. The staff are always very friendly. Location: 5

King Richard stayed here and by the condition of the window frames, it looks like they didn’t have many double glazing people turn up. If you like gothic, medieval then I think you will enjoy. If your expecting modern minimalistic .. jog on. You can sense the ghosts here and the staff are friendly enough. Our toilet when flushed made the sound like a ships siren leaving port, so I have to confess that, after a wee, I flushed and shouted to my other half, “ships away “ Would I come back, of course, its unique in Nottingham. But beware.. the breakfast is overpriced let down. Eg. Tea and coffee. Coffee jug empty.. informed solo waiter.. no problem.. sugar in another area.. milk in yet another area so by the time all three are joined it’s going tepid. Breakfast itself, not as hot as I like. If I was a manager I would look at this area and give it a kick up the backside.

We only popped in for lunch and a drink...really nice place. Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Romantic

30years ago my wife and I were married here, so for our 30th Wedding Anniversary our daughters bought us an afternoon tea with prosecco. We went on Sunday and have to say it was absolutely spot on, the service was great, the food was absolutely lovely, enough food and tea and we were asked if we wanted anymore too. I spoke with Declan the GM on duty and he showed us the bridal suite where we had stayed 30yrs ago too and gave us a walk round the venue, it brought back some great memories and made our visit feel even more special. Thankyou to Declan for going that extra mile for us for our special anniversary.
