Cheap Hotels in Nottingham

The East Midlands city of Nottingham is perhaps best known worldwide as the city around which the Robin Hood stories are centered, but this modern English city is much more than the Sherwood Forest. It is not a particularly popular tourist destination, but it has some interesting historic sights and monuments, and is a good base for exploring the area. So you will be pleased to know that there are several cheap hotels in Nottingham which you can choose from to settle into while you tour the area.

Nottingham is the home of Nottingham Trent University, so with a high student population it should not be surprising that there are budget options for both housing and food in the city. This is one reason why you will find so many cheap hotels in Nottingham in a city that is not as heavily touristed as some other cities are. If your hotel is not right in the city center, be sure it is near a bus stop - the city is well-served by two bus companies, so if you are close to a bus stop you are close to everything you want to see and do in Nottingham.

While in Nottingham, be sure to visit the castle - although it is not really a castle but rather a former private mansion - which is now a museum and art gallery. Other attractions include the area of town which used to be the center of the lace-making industry, and one of the pubs which claims to be the oldest in Britain - Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem. There is a statue of Robin Hood just outside the castle, but to see Sherwood Forest you will have to venture about 20 miles outside the city of Nottingham.

Some of the cheap hotels in Nottingham you will want to consider for your stay are Jurys Inn Nottingham (in the city center, 264 rooms, internet access available, on-site restaurant & bar, laundry service), Premier Inn Nottingham City Centre (in the city center, on-site restaurant, kids eat free, paid parking available, WiFi access available), Express by Holiday Inn Nottingham City Centre (near Market Square in downtown Nottingham, 120 rooms, free breakfast, internet access available, paid parking available, on-site restaurant), The Welbeck Hotel (in the city center, 96 rooms, free WiFi, on-site restaurant), and Rutland Square Hotel (in the city center, 50 yards from castle, 87 rooms, on-site restaurant, WiFi access available, pets welcome, off-street parking available).
