The rooms were spacious and clean with good AC. The beds were very comfy. The pool and sauna were very nice but steam room didn't have much steam. The food was good but on the expensive side. Plenty of parking with excellent location for the airport and the National Watersport Center. The breakfast had a lot of options and was delicious with take away coffees available.

It’s a good hotel, well situated for the airport (if that why you’re staying there).
For me the hotel amenities, of which there were many, weren’t useful as I only had a short single night stay. The room was well appointed but the a/c even on full cooling was not able to cool the room properly. It was too warm. The television remote wasn’t working properly either. Not a big deal but irritating.

Hotel was nice, a big entrance leading into a big bar and seating area which was a bit busy and loud at times when lots of people.
Room was clean and spacious and great choices for breakfast, again very spacious.
A convenient stay but felt this was more suited for business meetings and conference gatherings rather than a typical run of the mill hotels.

I was travelling with family for my son’s graduation. We booked 2 twin rooms and arrived late, very tired and ready to sleep, only to find we’d been allocated doubles.
We were moved, but this took some time.

The breakfast was poor. They can probably tell by how much food is left untouched on plates.

After breakfast we booked an Uber and waited. The app clearly said the radisson hotel but the driver went to the airport instead. He suggested we walk there (a 25 min walk and 3 min drive!), saying he could only pick us up if we were hotel guests (which we were!). Apparently there is an issue with the app changing the pick up location if booking in the airport vicinity. I explained that we were stuck and needed to get to the university quickly. After repeatedly insisting we had booked from the airport he then hung up leaving us stranded.

I spoke to the man on reception who only then informed me that they are well aware Uber won’t pick up or drop off at this hotel! He also said it was ‘not the hotel’s job’ to let guests know. I strongly disagree, as this drastically affects the guest experience. The least they could do is put a notice in reception! My son very nearly missed his graduation and the stress of it all had a very negative impact on the day.

My son and I had a lovely stay here for one night in a supreme runway room. My son was very impressed as he loves planes.
The room was bright and well decorated, the wall art was beautiful. The mattress was softer than I'm used to but still really comfortable, we both had a wonderful nights sleep. The sealant around the window needed replacing, the plug in the bath was permanently in (blocking the plug hole) and the lights under the bathroom counter no longer worked. For these reasons I have knocked a star off. We both really enjoyed watching the planes during the daylight and into the evening. The hotel really is in a lovely position. The gentleman who worked the front desk was very helpful and friendly, as were all the staff. We ate at the restaurant on the evening and the food was lovely. Cooked fresh and tasty. It was a bit on the expensive side but worth it. A bit more choice on the menu would have been good. We also had breakfast which was yum. There was the usual cooked items although fried eggs were missing. The pastries were plentiful and it was nice to see some vegan items. The vegan choice was good also and the cereal choice was brilliant. We loved the late check out time also, it gave me some time to chill out and finish my coffee in the seating area between reception and the restaurant.
Overall this is a lovely hotel that was set out really well, in a brilliant position for the airport with loads of secure parking. Will visit again.
Thank you to all the staff.

Bathroom was a good size.
All very clean.
The floors in the room are laminate and could do with a good hoover and mop.
Swimming pool was a good size. Sauna and steam rooms were working and usable.
Gym was small but had everything needed.
£15 parking for 24hr is a let down. If your a staying guest parking should be included.
Towels are supplied for use at the pool and gym so you don't have to take them from the room.

I've stayed at this hotel on many occasions but I'm not sure I will again,in the past parking was free then last year there was a charge this time it shot up to £15 a night ,
the resteraunt has become very expensive mainly due to charging £6.50 for sides i.e fish and chips with chips as an extra, a basic bottle of wine £35 needless to say for the second and third nights of our stay we went elsewhere to eat.The staff as ale=ways very pleasant and professional. It's a shame the management now want to treat their customers as mugs. Without the sharp pricing practices I would have given a five star rating as Ihave done in the past.

We stayed at this Radisson again as we attend the Donington race meetings. The hotel is fine, price reasonable, but the £15 charge to park your car overnight is steep - and obviously aimed at those going on holiday from East Midlands airport. Frustrating as we are just parking overnight as we attend two days at Donington Park circuit. We use the lobby bar, but we don't use the Runway restaurant anymore (we go into Castle Donington). Hotel rooms are ok, but the 'hum' droning noise from the airconditioning or whatever it is in the bathroom is not welcome. It has been going on for a long time (we stay here maybe three times a year). So keep the toilet and bathroom doors shut. But the hotel is a handy location and does the job.

Everything was brilliant apart from 2 things. Unfortunately those things mean we don’t get a proper nights sleep.

1: the shower suddenly started to drip in the middle of the night, not once but twice. Both times lasting around 5 mins. The second time I would not stop and I had to turn the shower on for a few seconds and off again to make it stop.

2. There was a flash and small blip from the fire alarm. Again, this happened more than once through the night.

Everything else was good (save a slow check in but they were busy) and if not for these issues it would be 5 stars. However, such a disturbed sleep made the stay somewhere I am dubious to return to.

When I did check in the receptionist could not find my booking to book me in. Appreciate I did arrive a day late but I did inform the hotel so they should have known. Not sure why it took so long to check in on the system - some IT issue maybe?

Handy location for airport and racetrack.

I was at Donington Park race track for a race meeting again. I uusally stay in the Radisson. It's ok, and handy.
Not a cheap stay, considering. Room overlooking runway considered an 'upgrade'. No separate shower - just shower in bath, step in to use.
Bar in lobby is ok, but there never seems to be enough seats or stools at the bar. Cold Moretti on draft is a bonus.
I didn't eat in the restaurant this time - i have on occasions previously. I went to a pub in Castle Donington for dinner this time.
Usual question - would i stay again? It's a Yes. Even though it doesn't seem to be value for money, it is certainly handy and clean.
