Igloo Backpackers Hostel

Igloo Backpackers Hostel and the Igloo Annexe ('Best New Venture 2011' short-list nominee for the 'Nottingham Stars Awards') offering private rooms, are proud to be the city's original and most popular quality budget stop for backpackers, tourists, weekenders and overseas job-seekers. For seeking rest and recuperation in a warm, clean, safe and friendly home-from-home, this is the perfect place. Great weekly rates available.

Set up in 1994, the city centre’s hostel is run by helpful and experienced backpackers and over the years we have welcomed close to 50,000 people from all over the world.
The Igloo has now gone even 'greener' - we recycle most of our waste, are energy and water aware and all our cleaning products, soaps etc are eco-friendly.

We are very proud to have been awarded 3 STARS by 'Enjoy England Tourism Board' 2010

Located in an historic Victorian building, we are surrounded by shops, pubs, eat-ins and take-outs, sights and sounds plus and food shopping including a 24 hour supermarket.
Centrally located, we are only 8-10 minutes by foot from the town square.

Our facilities include a large fully-equipped kitchen with free tea and coffee, a social lounge with free Internet, T.V. and films, comfy beds with duvets, lockers in all rooms, laundry facilities, Wi-Fi in all areas and washrooms with 24 hr hot showers.
We also have a large social room with pool table, table tennis, sofas, music and games.
There is on-street parking for those of you travelling by car - free from 18.00 - 08.00.

If you are looking for a place to spend the summer to work, learn English etc, we offer a weekly rate* and have lots of information on work etc around. If you are just on the tourism trail for a night or 2, we will provide you with a free map, information and leaflets on sights so you know your way around.

The city also offers lots of great live music, cultural events and of course Mr. Robin Hood!

Open all day all year until 3 a.m., the Igloo offers no chores or heavy rules - just a chance to meet some friendly people and get a good night's sleep at the end of an active day. If you are ever in town, pay us a visit!
