Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the hotel’s peaceful location after a loud night out, yet it’s still conveniently close to major venues in Nottingham. Getting to the city center is quick by taxi or rideshare, and the nearby roads make late-night returns easy. With check-in from 14:00 and a relaxed check-out at 11:00, you’ll have time to wind down without stress. The spacious rooms and quiet setting make it perfect for catching up on sleep post-show.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends heading to a gig will love the relaxed pub atmosphere and outdoor patio. Solo travelers exploring music scenes or crossing artists off their bucket list will appreciate the comfy rooms and friendly vibe. It’s also ideal for couples looking to pair a concert with a countryside escape, and fans needing a quieter place to recover after the show. Plus, the value-for-money makes it a solid pick for budget-conscious music lovers.

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant offers an extensive menu featuring international favorites and comfort food classics—perfect for a late meal after the encore. While there's no 24/7 room service, the pub often serves food till late and offers a strong selection of cask ales, craft beers, and wines. A hearty continental, Full English/Irish, or American breakfast is available to help you recover the next morning.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more of a wind-down spot than a party hub, the pub has a friendly local crowd and a selection of drinks that make it a great first or final stop. For more action, Nottingham’s bars, lounges, and clubs are just a short drive away, giving you the option to extend the night if you're still buzzing from the show.

What People Say

Guests highlight the friendly staff, spacious rooms, and overall cleanliness. Many mention the convenience of the pub and restaurant on-site, especially after a long day or night out. Families love the outdoor play area, while solo travelers and couples enjoy the peaceful setting and comfortable beds.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests noted that the location is a bit outside the city, so it’s best for those with a car or willing to take a short taxi ride. Also, while the pub atmosphere is lively, it's not a full-blown nightlife destination—ideal for those looking to wind down, not turn up.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a cozy, quieter place to recharge after the show with solid food and friendly vibes, Gamston Lock Nottingham by Marston's Inns hits all the right notes.
