The Igloo Backpackers Hostel (dorm beds), it's younger sister boutique hostel The Igloo Annexe (private rooms) AND our BRAND NEW Igloo Pods Building (private rooms) are proud to be the city's original and most popular quality stopover for budget-minded backpackers, tourists, families, weekenders and overseas job-seekers seeking rest and recuperation in a warm, clean, safe and friendly home-from-home environment that processes history, good people and a chilled atmosphere.

Located within the city centre, we are surrounded by shops, pubs, eat-ins, take-outs, and plenty of great sights and cool sounds. There is a 24 hour supermarket just a jump away, and the Victoria market and a Tesco's within 1-5 mins walk. We are less than a 7 minutes walk from the hip and vibrant Nottingham city centre and within walking distance from all the major city centre tourist attractions. Over the years we have welcomed over 50,000 people from all over the world and to this day we continue to be an ideal place for close friendships to be created and our guests return year after year.

Each private room in The Pods offers cool & cozy private accommodation, using mainly up-cycled and secondhand furniture, with added touches of top notch comfort features (hello memory foam mattresses, flat screen TVs & free WiFi) and unique personality (including murals in the rooms spray painted by talented local graffiti artist Smallkid)... we are truly passionate to show how hostels should look and feel these days and we hope you'll come see for yourself!.

Important Note About Our Dorm Building: As our reception is closed from 1am – 7am, this also means that our front door is closed during this time as well (some nights our receptionist will be at the hostel later than 1am, but as a general rule, 1am is the latest we stay open).
