Midtown Hostel

The bed was a bunk bed, rather creaky. The pillow was quite uncomfortablen and the sheer amount of stairs, absolutely sucked. The shower was like hacking a numpad, trying to get the right combo of settings as the heating was awful on most, absolutely freezing, just about managed to get it to an okay standard after minutes of configuring it Oh and all this whilst the bathroom light was flashing on an off whilst also flickering. The locks on the door didn't seem robust, the handle isn't quite attached firmly to the door. As for noise, it was difficult to get to sleep with the busy city life, at one point fireworks went off, absolutely no idea why. Entrance was fine. The receptionist was okay.

Totally First class. Firstly this is a warm and clean, welcoming and well-appointed premium hostel at a budget price,a and with an excellent central location in Nottingham. I had a very positive visit here. Over and above that, though, I was superbly managed and treated after a nightmare situation thanks to that incompetent shambles Booking.com. They had cancelled a booking due to a card blocking that day (due to a too much contactless swiping - but I was at a business conference) With great kindness, the owner honored my booking, was hugely helpful and swiftly checked me into a pleasant, airy shared room. I got a quick and helpful tour and a soul-reviving shower, after a quick brief of the sensible house rules and a few local quirks (a nearby pub empties its glass bins late at night - nothing too onerous). He also mentioned a few disappointing occasions when he had been unable to help people 'auto-messed up' by online booking systems. The kitchen and lounge are very pleasant and bright, and the beds are good. I have no hesitation in recommending and will be sure to return. Thank you MTH Nottingham!
