Easy check in, basic room, no aircraft noise. Good hotel, rip off airport taxis so walk or get the bus. £70 for 1 night with 15 nights parking was a bargain and well worth it.

We were flying from the airport mid morning for a weekend in Spain, staying with friends and decided to stay here the night before. We arrived in the late evening and had a very courteous check-in and went to our room. A little while later, we discovered that we were short on towels, so rang reception. Within 5 minutes, a...

First stay in the HI Express EMA. I got a rather low rate which is far one of the few good sides. My Booking was processed very good, quick answers through mail by the hotel. Great job on that one ! There's no shuttle to the airport, taxi is 6GBP or go by foot which is really a shame, an... More

Dear Djordy Thank you for your recent review, and I am disappointed that you found our offering not to your satisfaction. I would like to point out that we do have a shuttle bus - subject to the availability of a driver (licensing regulations) and the walk is a mere 15 minutes at most to the departure hall. Regarding breakfast,... More

This is the perfect hotel when visiting Donnington Race Circuit on a busy World Superbike Weekend. It has a bus service to and from the circuit 24hrs a day at regular intervals. You can mix with fellow bikes and team members alike. Food is served almost round the clock as well, dinner finishes at 3am and breakfast starts at 4am... More

Stayed here last weekend for 3 nights, easy access for the motorway, comfortable beds, free Wi-Fi in reception/bar area, we had dinner in the hotel on the Friday evening, the food and service were fantastic, the seven of us at the table enjoyed our meal. Breakfast was also good, served from 4 in the morning, great if you have an... More

Easily accessible from the motorway and Sky Link buses you would be hard pressed to beat this for location AND value. The bar meals were good and the bar had an atmosphere of people getting ready for holidays which was fun. Rooms clean and comfortable with decent facilities. Breakfast available from 0430 with hot selection (egg and sausage I think)... More

Myself and a large group (over 70) stayed here overnight, whilst we attended a sporting competition in Nottingham. The facilities were excellent, and the staff were very helpful. They were obliging enough to arrange an earlier check-in, just to suit our time schedule, and had the keys all arranged in personalised envelopes with a welcoming letter on our arrival. As... More

This is by all accounts a standard holiday inn express, but it is very modern and clean. The breakfast was good, no hassle and a decent selection. Check in and out was easy and staff friendly enough. Would stay again.

The hotel is well placed next to East Midlands Airport. The rooms are average and there is plenty of parking for cars, Restaurant is average nothing special and the English Breakfast was limited. The staff are not user friendly and need to learn more manners.
