Great service, comfy rooms and beds, very close to the castle so right in the heart of the city and toursit areas. Very accomodating staff couldn't do any more for us, they treated us like royalty. They were all so kind and helpful, making us breakfast especially in the reception because we had a dog, but you can equally have it in your room. Great place, would come again anyday.

Beautiful setting, rooms with a lovely rooftop garden. Very friendly staff. They went out of their way to help me with a charger for my phone.

I did not stay at the hotel so I am only commenting on the kitchen for dinner. The hotel and the kitchen looked incredible. Really nice atmosphere and the service was top notch. The only thing that let this place down was the food. The food should be below half price of what you actually pay. If you are eating for a special occasion don't choose here you will agree if you do. The food was nice but for the price you pay you expect for example langar hall quality.

I enjoyed Hart's pre-covid and was looking forward to returning, but was left a little disappointed. It was by no means a bad experience, but I was expecting excellent and would say the experience was adequate-good. Whilst the cod starter was great, the pork main was OK, and the service attention to detail was missing - and the 'new' dining room is in what was the bar area (now the 'old' main dining room is no more). Considering the fantastic alternatives Nottingham has to offer, this now feels overpriced for what it is.
