Bentinck Hotel

Classic Charm Meets Concert Convenience in Nottingham

The Bentinck Hotel is a cozy, character-filled stay right across from Nottingham Train Station, making it a top pick for music fans arriving by rail. With its elegant styling, warm service, and walkable access to shops, restaurants, and major venues, it’s the kind of place that feels like a hidden gem in the heart of the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—and the Bentinck delivers. Just a 10-minute walk gets you to Nottingham’s top entertainment spots like the National Ice Arena and Nottingham Castle. Post-show travel is a breeze, with late-night bus and train services right outside. Inside, the hotel stays pleasantly quiet for those looking to recharge after a high-energy night. Though there’s no elevator, the staff is helpful and check-in starts from 14:00, giving you plenty of time to settle in before the show.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a central, social base
- Solo travelers chasing that bucket-list performance
- Couples on a live music weekend escape
- Fans needing a quieter space to recover after the encore
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want style

Food and Drink Options

Start your day with a complimentary continental breakfast featuring fruit, croissants, meats, cereals, and more. If you're craving something heartier, cooked options are available for an additional fee. The hotel also has a bar restaurant and coffee lounge—ideal for a pre-show bite or a relaxed nightcap. For more variety, you’re just steps from walkable pubs and eateries.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no live music on-site, the Bentinck’s location puts you close to Nottingham’s buzzing nightlife. You’ll find local pubs, cocktail lounges, and live music bars all within walking distance. Prefer something low-key? The hotel’s bar is a welcoming spot to sip a local brew and chat about the night’s setlist.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and unbeatable location. Many mention the easy check-in process, good value for money, and the bonus of free Wi-Fi. The coffee lounge and breakfast options also get regular nods for quality and convenience.

Areas for Improvement

The biggest downside? No elevator. The reception is on the first floor, and rooms are up additional flights of stairs—something to keep in mind if you’re carrying heavy gear or have mobility issues. Some guests also note that rooms facing the station can pick up a bit of traffic noise, though it’s generally quiet at night.

The Bottom Line

A charming and well-located hotel with a warm vibe, the Bentinck Hotel is a smart and stylish base for concert-goers wanting easy access to Nottingham’s music scene.
