Wi-Fi
The WiFi experience at Igloo Hybrid is a mixed bag with the majority of guests finding it less than satisfactory, especially in the rooms. While the WiFi signal meets basic needs in some common areas, it often fails to reach many guests’ rooms, leaving them without internet access in their personal spaces. The connection tends to be adequate on the ground floor, but its performance deteriorates significantly on the upper floors, rendering it virtually unusable in certain areas of the hotel. Guests frequently mention that the signal is slow, weak and intermittent with some describing it as outright non-functional. Access typically is limited to shared spaces like the kitchen or common rooms, which close at 10 p.m., further limiting availability. Though WiFi is free and available, the poor speed and limited coverage leave much to be desired, especially for those who depend on it for communication. Overall, improvements in providing a more reliable and extensive WiFi service would greatly enhance the stay at Igloo Hybrid.

Nightlife
Nestled in the heart of Nottingham, Igloo Hybrid is a haven for those who revel in vibrant nightlife.

The location is unbeatable, offering easy access to cultural events and a variety of dining options nearby. Guests appreciate the friendly and welcoming staff, adding a nice personal touch to the stay.

However, the lively atmosphere comes at a price: the noise. Several reviews highlight the persistent sound of music and chatter from nearby establishments like the Beerkeller, which often extends into the early hours. Earplugs come highly recommended for light sleepers. Despite this, the hostel itself remains a clean and pleasant place to retreat to after a night out with a quiet courtyard providing a peaceful contrast to the bustling streets outside.

Ideal for night owls and social butterflies, Igloo Hybrid offers convenience for those eager to explore Nottingham’s energetic nightlife while enjoying the comfort of nearby amenities and friendly service.
