Clean spacious rooms amazing service
I liked everything not one bad thing to say
Room was excellent and spacious. All you need for an overnight stay and a huge TV
N/A
Great amenities, and fantastic if travelling with children. Pack of jellies on the bed for our little boy was a lovely touch.
Lack of gluten free options and lack of labelling of gluten free items on dinner menu and breakfast.
Well located, good service and facilities
Was quite expensive
It was clean, friendly staff
The room wasn’t made for our family so we had to make a bed and share a single.
Proximity to donington park circuit
Convenient location. Nice bar/restaurant with great portions. Fantastic breakfast.
Great breakfast
Close proximity to our destination for the weekend, great facilities to accommodate for the kids and nice spacious clean room.
Food was abit pricey at dinner and felt it wasn’t the best meal.
Not much
Room was not cleaned properly
Amazing staff.. Food 💯
Our stay was so special. Tired, busy parents of young kids. We requested the quietest, coolest room available as a last minute, convenient get away for our anniversary. The room was wonderful, they left us a welcome pack with chocolate, popcorn and a drink and drinks voucher and a very lovely card wishing us a happy anniversary and pleasant stay away from the littlies. So thoughtful. Then we used our drinks voucher and had a lovely meal. The mango chicken salad was excellent, I chose the teriyaki salmon. They were out of quinoa, sadly and said they would serve with rice. This was a bit bland. I gave this feedback and they took this off the bill. They made our desert extra special by presenting it with a 'happy anniversary'. We really appreciated these special touches, so much so that we will definitely do this again as it's an easy spot for us. Thank you Team Hilton for putting the thought in, we have been amazed by your efforts and had a lovely break!
Spacious rooms with air con. All the amenities needed too. The use of the leisure facilities were great too.
Light in the bedrooms for getting ready not the best but also manageable otherwise no issues.
loved the welcome drinks on arrival, room was a great size and comfortable, and not too hot either. The breakfast was amazing. Really enjoyed the swim in the pool as well.
nothing
Libby makes the place feel like a home from home. Great food and service. Love it!
Room very comfortable.
Staff were very friendly. Hotel gyms were appreciated as was the pool which is why I booked. We forgot to bring a swim suit but the on site shop had a good selection which helped us out. Big car park which was convenient and easy to find a space. Perfect location for going to watch superbikes. Room was comfortable, quiet and spacious
They forgot about our food order in the evening, had to chase it up and in the end took about an hour for our dinner to arrive, although waitress who chased it up was lovely and we were offered a free drink which was appreciated. Fairly noisy heavy drinking crowd in the bar in the evening which made it bit less comfortable for me and my child to have a quiet dinner to ourselves
Conveniently situated for the airport friendly staff Spa facilities were good
Price As it’s near the airport a little over priced
Well placed and easy to get to. Friendly and helpful team. Comfortable beds and great pool, jacuzzi and sauna facilities. Good selection at breakfast.
Bathroom was a bit dated, sink tap got v hot and then stayed hot and couldn't get any cold. Had ants invading the table at breakfast. Had to pay for parking.
Room was spacious and comfortable
The lights are very confusing
Friendly staff,very clean,comfortable bed
I would have thought the car parking should be free as a hotel guest,breakfast buffet food should be a bit hotter.
The staff all of them ,wonderful
Nothing
Staff polite helpful and friendly
The room was nice but to much noise could be heard ,doors slamming and people shouting till early hours
Air con and clean
Dated and in need of refurb
Start point for East Midlands Airport, hard to fault. Excellent parking, comfortable air conditioned rooms, and decent food in the restaurant. Looked after really well by Paul and soon to be (hopefully) doctor Roxy Great start to our holiday l
Restaurant service very poor.
Location good, affordable price , room was comfortable and clean.
Public areas need maintenance and cleaning, amenities are old, swimming pool jaccouzi not working, ladies changing area toilet closed, showers were poorly maintained. Stains on chairs in the main bar.
Everything was fine
No toilet brush

Mike and Molly really made my stay above and beyond
We were in the area visiting family for ten nights and, without hesitation, booked this hotel as we have been before and know the facilities, food and staff are excellent. Mike on the bar made our last night as he was extremely kind to our boisterous boys when we ate there and found them activities and treats which went down extremely well with them! We will be back
It was excellent from start to finish. Checking in process was friendly and efficient. We had a lovely spacious and comfortable room and everything about the stay exceeded our expectations.

Very friendly staff and very good customer service from all the staff members at this property.. We genuinely appreciate the efforts of all the staff members.. Clean rooms with all basic amenities.
Good rooms clean and staff were friendly
From about midnight till 2 in the morning some one was playing load music
We were very impressed with this hotel We had a meal and stayed a night before flying. Whilst away we decided to stay the night on our return. Our flight had to land in Venice for a medical emergency. We didn't arrive at the hotel until nearly 3am and the staff were very good, as was breakfast. I would particularly like to thank Bina who was extremely pleasant and helpful when we checked out.
Hotel is a bit of a home from home at the moment. It’s a nice hotel with lovely staff. I look forward to my cappuccinos in the morning especially if they are made by Suzy.
My family would particularly like to point out a stand out staff member. Mike/Michael behind the bar went far above what is expected, at a particularly busy time he kept up with demands finding the children tasks and colouring who also took a liking to him. A fantastic representive and a very we
The waiter Mike was very nice smiling a lot smiling. The waiter Mike was very welcoming. Very nice. serving fast. From Willow and Graycee
Location was great.
Room key mess up on arrival - receptionist not concentrating on us. We got the wrong room key (and it was miles away from reception). Think we were about to walk into someone else’s room. Ordered dinner in the bar. It was truly awful - unbelievably bad. Bar area was dirty, no-one clearing the tables. Couldn’t wait to leave.
Stayed for the Download Festival and it was a great option. Staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast was lovely and the room most comfortable. Would definitely do this again

This is the second time visiting this hotel and once again we received a lovely welcome from Joanne on reception. She was so helpful and professional a credit to your team Hilton. Also a big thankyou to Charlie in the restaurant for your help. The food was delicious. We had a lovely room and very comfortable.
Fantastic service from Caz, very polite and helpful. What an asset to your hotel. Well done Caz your doing a great job, keep up the practising
Easy to commute onto M1, perfect location
Great facilities, with spa and leisure options.
Wonderful staff. Got us in early. Lego was available for the children to create and take away with them - super idea!
Cost of drinks at the bar!
Everything neat and clean and tidy staff was helping quick service. I rang midnight for a fan and they gave me in five minutes. Everything neat and clean provide water tea, coffee milk, sugar everything in the room bathroom is neat and clean. Room was so nice. Stuff was so helping reception was so good the communicate really well. I really enjoy my stay there. I normally come and I always choose to stay in Hilton always wherever wherever I am other in London or Leicester so basically everything is fine good 10 out of 10.

Excellent customer service from start to finish, with staff who were genuinely friendly, welcoming and always happy to help. The team made the stay smooth and enjoyable through their professional yet warm approach. Jay in particular was outstanding and went above and beyond throughout my stay. I had a great experience at Hilton East Midlands Airport and would happily stay there again.
Room, location just off motorway excellent. Lovely staff. Food not elaborate but decent and service very good.

Dinner and Breakfast excellent. The room was spotless and comforable. The shower was great plenty of hot water. All in all no complaints. Staff were excellent and friendly
Did not like the car park charge. It is my opinion when you pay for Room whcih i paid for two that should get you free parking
Regularly stay here on business and always receive excellent service from Rui at breakfast: he is a real asset to the hilton. Always helpful and friendly and provides attentive service throughout.
I felt important and it was kept so well

Michaela was a fabulous waitress. So polite and attentive and always smiling. Nothing was any problem. Great staff all round.
Joanne always helpfull and goes above and beyond! All staff are great!
Great service received from the staff, Rui was really helpful, accommodating and good spirited. Will definitely come back
A wonderful hotel, but what impressed me the most was the staff, namely Alina, the girl who checked us in. She didn't just register us, she immediately solved a problem that arose due to my own carelessness when booking the room. Also, we were travelling with children, and she made sure an extra bed was added to our room and even left some treats for the kids on their beds. Right from the very first second, Alina turned our stay into a relaxing and pleasurable experience. We booked a room with dinner and breakfast included, and we were incredibly satisfied with the quality of the food and the service. The staff don't just do their job, they are genuinely invested in making sure you, as a guest, have a great time. My rating is 5.5 out of 5!
Great stay at the Hilton. Our server & now friend RUI was so kind & attentive & provided excellent customer service. Will definitely be returning. Only feedback would be a bit of maintenance needs to be done in bedrooms as the bathroom shower nob was faulty. Thank you
We chose this hotel as it was close to Slick City where we were going as a family. The process from booking to check out was fantastic. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. We were celebrating my dad’s birthday and the staff went beyond to make sure his birthday trip was one to remember. I also have an autistic son and Hilton standards are high whichever location we visit which makes life easier. At breakfast Suzy was an absolute star ensuring our table was looked after, and finding alternatives for my son. I would recommend this hotel.
I hadn't stayed here for a couple of years so it was good to be back for a night before a flight the next day. All I can do is echo many of the previous comments. The staff here really do make the difference. A friendly check in, being asked about your day, hearing a goodbye as you leave, etc. This is often missing from other hotels, especially in the era of self check-in machines. Yes, the decor is somewhat dated, but that's fine. It's spotlessly clean, with all the amenities you would expect. I ate with a colleague at the restaurant in the evening, again the service was very good and the food was great! No hesitation in staying here again.
The staff were excellent and very child friendly. Michaela in particular in the bar/restaurant was excellent.
What a lovely stay at this cosy place! I loved the place, specially the wonderful breakfast. The special vegetarian omelette that Rui made was truly mouthwatering! I I’d love to stay again at this place for this yummy omelette again . Thanks so much Rui for your suggestion ❤️❤️
Rui was extremely efficient with his service and hospitality. He certainly looked after many families during the entire 3 day visit. Thank you.
Good to have a pool but it could do with some updating and repairs to ceiling. Showering beige entering the pool should be mandatory as there were some unclean smelling males entering without showering Jacuzzi was lovely and hot.
Staff were really really great however some of the restaurant staff could do with some further training regards to not serving drinks handling the rim of the glasses
Lovely helpful friendly staff. great breakfast perfect location
Nice swimming pool.
Very convenient for East Midlands Airport. We had an early flight, so all good for a one night stay.

The family room was great for the three of us, breakfast as usual was fantastic with loads of choice. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The pool and gym facilities were really good and make the hotel a great place to stay.
Nothing. The stay was perfect.
For the money room and breakfast very good.Staff in all departments excellent.
I always tend to stay at the East Midlands Hilton when visiting family locally -comfortable, very friendly staff, great breakfast and a relaxed stay.
Nothing really, the pool was very busy so didn’t go in.
Excellent hotel easy access to motorway. Good facilities. Very helpful staff and went over and above dealing with booking by providing a lovely birthday gift. Highly recommend.
Spacious family room. Loved the swimming pool. Evening meals were great choices for kids and adults.
Breakfast a bit pricey for 8 year old. 12.50. and also it wasn't hot enough.
