Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Nottingham

8 stays · 1 aparthotels and 7 serviced apartments

Nottingham, known as the Queen of the Midlands and for its Robin Hood legend, is a good fit for aparthotels and serviced apartments in Nottingham: it draws both leisure visitors and people in the city for study or work, and an apartment with a kitchen and living space suits stays of a few nights to a few weeks. Wikivoyage notes that the city receives a lot of tourism, mostly because of Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest and Nottingham Castle.

Getting around Nottingham

Wikivoyage says East Midlands Airport lies 12 miles (19 km) south-west of Nottingham, with a Skylink bus service to the city centre, and describes Birmingham Airport as another option via train. Nottingham railway station is the only remaining station in the city centre, according to Wikipedia, with trains run by CrossCountry, East Midlands Railway and Northern. Wikivoyage says the tram stop is above the station and that it is about a 10-minute walk to the city centre.

Nottingham Express Transit (NET) runs the tram system, which Wikipedia says serves routes from the city centre to Hucknall in the north and Toton Lane in the south, plus a line between Phoenix Park park and ride and Clifton. NET's own site lists single, day, group and season tickets and a NETGO! app. Nottingham City Transport and trentbarton run the main bus services, with bus stations at Broadmarsh and Victoria according to Wikivoyage, which says the centre is best explored on foot because many historic streets are pedestrian-friendly.

Living in Nottingham for longer

For a longer stay, Wikipedia notes Nottingham was named England's least car-dependent city by the Campaign for Better Transport, and the park and ride sites and tram network reduce the need for a car.

The city centre has the main shopping streets and an indoor arcade at the Council House, according to Wikivoyage, while West Bridgford and The Park are quieter residential options.

When to visit Nottingham

Wikipedia gives Nottingham a temperate oceanic climate, with warm, mild summers and mild to cool winters and abundant rainfall throughout the year.

Wikipedia says the famous Goose Fair, a travelling funfair at the Forest Recreation Ground, is held at the beginning of October. Wikivoyage places the Riverside Festival at Victoria Embankment on a weekend at the start of August, and says the Forest Recreation Ground hosts the Bonfire Night fireworks. Wikipedia adds that Nottinghamshire Pride usually takes place in July. The official tourism site mentions Christmas markets and an observation wheel in the festive season.

The centre is compact. Wikivoyage describes the Old Market Square as the heart of the city, with most of the main shopping streets around it and a bohemian quarter, Hockley, close to the Lace Market. A tram system and widespread buses make the wider city easy to reach without a car.
