The Bowman by Greene King Inns

On arrival, there was no receptionist at the desk, and I had to wait some time before someone came to assist me. The room was clean and tidy.

The staff were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the full English Breakfast during our stay. On the first night, we arrived back to our room late and found the heating was not working, The room was very cold. We called the after hours number and didn't get an answer. We ended up sleeping fully dressed with our coats on. The next morning, I address the issue with the lady at the front desk. She was very apologetic, and brought a portable heater to our room. We were much warmer the second night. If it wasn't for the heating issues, I would have given a higher star rating.

The weather was wintery when we travelled and arrived at The Bowman by Greene King Inns in Nottingham. There was no one in the small reception, but a notice directed us to the pub just over the carpark. Once we had booked in we were given directions to our room. It was located through an outside courtyard and up some outdoor stairs it was on the first floor ( No. 34) The room was warm when we arrived 23 degrees, plenty hot water, white towels, clean bedding and room. Bath with over the bath shower, iron/ironing board, tea/ coffee facilities, although no hotel telephone. The only issue we had was the heating in the room dropped to 16 degrees later that night, we thought it was on a timer and temperature controlled by the hotel. We intended to speak to the receptionist when we went out that morning, but no one on reception. We spoke to one of the cleaners when we returned after lunch. She advised the temperature could be overrode on the controls in the bedroom. We tried without success to increase the temperature, so when we went out about 4.15pm we were going to speak to someone on reception but it was closed again. We mentioned the problem to the receptionist when we checked out the next morning, so they could have the heating looked at. She advised we should have rang and they would have brought a portable heater. Nice place to stay in warmer weather. Ensure if your mobility isn’t good to get a downstairs room.

Loved the room and facilities, food was excellent. Would've liked the wardrobe and mirror not so near the door as it was freezing. A change of buses to travel anywhere was needed but uber was the solution.

The breakfast was terrible for numerous reasons so go elsewhere The room was perfect however a previous guest had smoked in the room so it smelled.

We had a fantastic time at the Bowman. Nice reception, superb service and nice food.

Pleasant basic accommodation at a reasonable price. Free onsite parking. Very nice and helpful staff. Great location. Plenty of buses and trams nearby to get into Nottingham. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice clean rooms in a courtyard area , close to the restaurant , reception and other staff all helpful

The welcome was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and tidy, although a little tired. The bath was quite sloppy when taking a shower, but fine. The bed was a little firm but again, adequate. Evening food was in the Bowman was good but the breakfast was wonderful. Set us up for the day, with everything cooked fresh and quality ingredients. Second time staying here and standards remain the same. Will certainly be ack again.
