Don't Take Our Word, See What Everyone Else Is Saying…

We try our very best to make sure everyone has a brilliant time and it puts a big smile on our face when we read a comment from someone who has. If you're thinking about staying at Igloo for the first time, here's what some of our previous guests have to say…


“Myself and my partner stayed here on a Tuesday evening as we were attending a concert at Rock City.
The hotel was ideally located for exploring the city.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
The hotel was clean and facilities were very good.
I would highly recommend and would not hesitate to return.” - Jamie, Tripadvisor Aug 2022

“Stayed for just one night but would happily spend a week. Spotless, comfortable, private room with loads of space. Quirky place with great facilities (including a proper kitchen in the shared areas) and 30 seconds walk to the Market Square. This will be my first choice next time I'm staying in Nottingham.” - Phil, Google, Dec 2022

“When you go arrive to it you never expect that kind of rooms, They are comfy, clean and warm. If you don't know where to host and you don't want to spend so much money this is your best choice. If I would come back yo Nottingham I would love to come back and stay there."

Easy access to city center and lots of facilities available if you Just ask at reception. Would recommend and would stay again if we where in the area." - Becki B, Tripadvisor

I went 2 times in this hostel, the first time during 3 months (summer 2012), and the second one 1 week (begining of 2013). The hostel is clean, cheap, well equipped (pool, TV, music) and comfortable. The staff is really nice, friendly, helpful, welcoming and knows perfectly the region. Atmosphere is also good in this youth hostel, friendly, there is no stealing, and it’s definitely interesting to meet people from lot of different countries! Surely the best place to make friends and know how to do in Nottingham!

"Hello everybody. this was the best holiday in my life. Its very hard to leave this place, so next year we will be back" –Jana & HIrka, Slovakia

Stayed in one of the private rooms for a gig at Rock City this month and was thoroughly impressed! Very clean, chatty and knowledgeable staff, and a great atmosphere. The lovely folk at reception have even gone out of their way to post a lost item all the way back up north over the border. Would happily book again if I found myself back in the city.

The best two weeks of my life.
— Monika, Poland

“I run an EU-funded project which involves visits to partner organisations in Budapest, Karlsruhe and Nottingham. When our Hungarian and German friends stayed in Nottingham we put them up at Igloo, mostly in Annexe but a few in the main hostel. All of the visitors only had good things to say about the hostel and staff, and when we were organising the trip, Charlie was extremely helpful and went to a lot of trouble to make the visit a success. Couldn’t recommend Igloo highly enough - if I didn’t live here that’s where I’d stay!”  — Pippa

Lovely clean room, modern kitchen very well equipped. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend for a comfortable short cheap stay. Would definitely book again :) — Sophie, UK

Very comfortable and clean! The kitchen has everything you need, the rooms are big and nice. The staff is very helpful, and the location is very good as well, close to the city center and with good bus connections to everywhere in Nottingham.
— Pablo, UK

"Well, what can I say? I have had the best time of my life these past weeks here - meeting wonderful people and having pints-a-plenty. Thanks heaps to everyone for running an excellent place and letting me in the door. All the best to one and all. I will be back." — Chris Beale, Australia

I have stayed in a number of hostels whilst travelling and this is up there for comfiness, cleanliness and staff service. If I ever go back to Nottingham I will be sure to stay again at Igloo. 5*s
