Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Orchard Hotel & Restaurant from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Orchard Hotel provides a comfortable and often spacious experience, especially appreciated for its proximity to Nottingham University campus and the University Boulevard tram stop. Many guests have enjoyed the tasty food in the restaurant, while others found the hotel's decor to be lovely, with the Nespresso machine being a nice touch in the rooms. Some guests have occasionally found the car park to be quite full. The hotel is considered a good option when attending university events, and the breakfast, including the bean-to-cup coffee, is also a highlight for many.

The staff interactions were excellent.

The room temperature was too high for comfortable sleep. The air conditioning unit did not adequately cool the space. I ended up opening the window (which helped a bit, but it wasn't ideal).
