ibis Nottingham Centre

You're not expecting miracles from hotel restaurant food, but sometimes you need somewhere dependable that won't let you down. The dining space here does exactly what it says on the tin – solid, unfussy meals that hit the spot when you're staying over or just need to fuel up between shopping on King Street. The menu sticks to crowd-pleasing classics done competently rather than trying to be clever, which honestly feels refreshing when half the city centre is chasing the latest food trend. Service moves at a decent clip, and while you won't be raving about it to your mates, you won't be complaining either. It's the kind of place that quietly gets the job done.
