Leonardo Hotel Nottingham
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
It is worth booking if you arrive by train or are heading to the Motorpoint Arena and want a well reviewed 4-star base. Compare prices first, though, because our Luxury pick was cheaper on the reference dates.

This 4-star hotel scores 8.5 out of 10 from 8,358 reviews, with a location score of 9.1. Train travellers and concert-goers get the most from it.

Light sleepers should take note. Guests say inside areas are peaceful, but street noise and hallway sounds can sometimes be heard.
Location and getting around
The address is Waterfront Plaza, Station Street, in Nottingham City Centre. Guests like the short walk to the train station, the Motorpoint Arena and the city centre.
Nottingham Castle is about 1 km away, roughly 13 minutes on foot. Nottingham Cathedral is about 1.3 km, around 16 minutes, and Trent Bridge about 1.4 km, roughly 18 minutes.
These are straight-line estimates. All three are walkable for most people.
What guests say
Location and staff lead the praise. Guests describe a friendly team, a warm welcome and an efficient check-in.
Soundproofing is the main complaint. Internal areas are quiet, but street noise and hallway sounds sometimes come through. Ask for a room away from the street if that worries you.
Room size and condition have not been assessed.
Price and value against our other Nottingham picks
The reference price was about €158.54 a night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. It is not a live quote. That is about 20% below the sample median of €198.47.
Nottingham's prices were unusual on those dates. Our Luxury pick, Roomzzz Nottingham City, a 4-star property scoring 8.9, was about €97.11 a night, cheaper than this hotel. Our Best Value pick, Holiday Inn Nottingham by IHG, a 4-star hotel scoring 8.6, was about €206.34.
On the reference dates, then, Roomzzz offered a higher score for less money. Prices move quickly, so compare all three for your dates. Breakfast here is a buffet, but inclusion is not confirmed. Check today's price.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 eligible hotels in Nottingham. This one shared third place on review score.
It is our Budget choice because €158.54 a night was the lowest eligible reference price after the upscale pick was set aside. That rule explains why a cheaper Luxury pick can sit beside it. An 8.5 from over 8,000 reviews is a solid result.
