Check in was between 2pm-6pm, meaning we had plenty of time to explore Nottingham before coming to the room. Check out was at 11am, meaning we did not have to rush to leave.
The staff member at reception was absolutely lovely - we had to fill a form out to ensure that they had the details of our car so that it wouldn't be clamped or ticketed.
Our room was on the second floor - there was a metal staircase leading upstairs that was a little noisy as you were walking up it, but we couldn't hear people walking up it during the night. There was a little noise from the other guests, but we fell asleep relatively easily and weren't disturbed by those in the rooms around ours.
The mattress was good quality, but a little too hard for me. The pillows were super soft, as were the covers.
The shower warmed up quickly, and the shampoo and bodywash provided were great. The towels were all very clean.
The room and bathroom were in good condition.
There is no TV or minifridge in the room (as it's more like a B&B rather than a hotel). There was a dining and living area downstairs where guests could watch TV.
The WiFi was great, so we were able to make do with watching stuff on our phone.
Would definitely recommend if you're looking at going somewhere in Nottingham like Rock City or the theatre.
We didn't book breakfast, but it seemed to be a reasonable price if you wanted to order it.

Good for what you pay

Stayed in a ground floor unit with a nice little conservatory looking into the rear garden. That’s as good as it got.  We were advised that if we saw anyone outside it was either the owners children, the cleaner or the cleaners pet dog. 

The rooms were particularly spartan with no fridge, tv, hairdryer or most of the things commonly found in B&B’s and hotels. It felt and looked like a backpacking hostel. 

We started off ok but within a few hours it became evident that the place wasn’t suitable for families or older couples. Heavy feet from the first floor were non stop all night long (and I mean ALL NIGHT LONG) with banging and loud voices. I went to reception to complain but it was unmanned (and remained unmanned even when we left the next morning at 10am). 

At 1.15am the loud banging was overtaken by the sounds loud sexual activity which continued for some time. Not what our 5 year old boy needed to hear! 

Lots of people coming and going at all hours of the night, tramping along the corridor and metal stairs. By 7am we had decided to pack and leave after just one night of an intended (and pre paid) 3 night stay. We moved to a better hotel nearby who had never heard of Rufford Court and some time later we were told it may possibly be being used by some as a house of ill repute. I cannot attest to the validity of that suggestion other than to say it sounds plausible based on what we heard and saw. 

I’ll never go back nor recommend it and having now read previous negative reviews...I agree with them!

AVOID 

Stayed for 1 night with my partner, had nice size room with everything u need. 
The room was clean only thing is could do with a tv in the room but other then that was nice room. 
It can be noisy when people walking past to there rooms but I didn’t get woken up by any noise which is good.
Would stay again 


Good hotel 

Front of hotel in picture only shows best part of building.
Very dated need modernizing.

Drove in to hotel, a drunk driver reversing his car down a single lane road entrance to hotel, drunk driver drove in to next door neighbours gate brick post.

So i decided to park my car out side hotel car park as it was clearly NOT SAFE to park my car.

I go to my room 11pm Easter Sunday to find guest next door had more than two other guest playing music, a argument broke out i call manager, explained problems, I want to leave hotel and I would like a refund.Manager told me I was not entitled to a refund and he address problem. 2am more arguments from next door bang of doors. Stay away never slept all night.Worth £5 a night only.

NOT A FAMILY HOTEL CHEAP DIGS FOR A NIGHT OUT MORE LIKE

I was travelling with my 2 young children (5, and nearly 2 years) and booked a family room. £45, I thought, was great value as we got 1double bed, 2 singles and a conservatory area, curtained off from the room so after the kids went to sleep, I was able to make a cuppa, and read/watch a film on my phone, without disturbing them. 
Wasn’t able to use the garden though, which was an annoyance of the kids who couldn’t understand why we couldn’t walk out the door into it. 
Bathroom was big, clean and an abundance of fresh, clean towels, but water temperature quite temperamental. 
Only downside to the room (5) was the creaking from the room above whenever anyone so much as walked around. It woke us all up in the morning, which concerned me as my little one had a very unsettled night due to teething so I’m worried if the rooms are so un-soundproofed, whether she in turn woke others up (sorry!) 
I tried to book breakfast but was told to just turn up the next day. When we did, no staff around so not sure how that works. 
Great location for the tram into Nottingham too. 
Not to mention lots of free parking. 
Would definitely consider staying again when travelling with the kids though. It definitely fitted the bill and the kids loved it! 


Impressed 

Stayed here for 2 weeks with my mom while we visited family in the area. The place is extremely noisy. You can hear people in their rooms sneezing, clearing their throat, walking around, doors slamming shut and this is at all hours of the day and night. Beds are horrible, like sleeping on a piece of plywood. With that said, the place is clean and no bugs were seen. Breakfast is an additional £7.50, but I never seen anyone having that breakfast. They also do not provide washcloths/face flannels. There was not a tv or refrigerator in our room which made an extended stay uncomfortable. There is a kitchen and laundry you can use, but it is not readily marked and you must ask where both are. Staff are responsive, but English is not their primary language. I would look at other places before I stayed here again.

Mediocre

Wanted a cheap overnight stay in Nottingham. Premier Inn and Travelodge prices were a joke. Found  this hotel on booking.com. Really convenient, secure parking, well off the main road, nice clean room with big bathroom, could have had breakfast if I’d booked it, what was really neat was there were sofas/ living area with tv and a kitchen. Would not hesitate to come back. Really friendly helpful staff too.
