I booked the Igloo at Camp Bobby for me and my friends while I was visiting TN. I did enjoy the experience and set up but for the minimum to spend ($200+) they should have more food options available. The menu was really just small shareable dishes and nothing we ordered was out of this world. Also the deposit to rent your igloo does not go towards the minimum. Overall it was a cute experience. Food and drinks were ok and they didn't even have a make your own s'mores kit for the kids like I seen at some other igloo experiences. Also another thing that was annoying was the menu was not available anywhere online I could only see the past years and being that it changed I would have booked somewhere else knowing that it was just appetizers offered and the minimum at this igloo experience was much higher than other places that were around $150. They should definitely post the food and drinks options online to help customers know if this experience is worth it!
My trip to Nashville was a mix of business and pleasure - the first half I was attending a conference and then I decided to stay a few days to check out more of the city since I had never been here before. During the conference I stayed at the Gaylord Opryland, but I was looking to stay somewhere closer to downtown afterwards. After some research, the Bobby Hotel seemed to check the most boxes for me, so I booked it. Like most of my other hotel reviews, I'll break this down into pros and cons, so here we go! There are a lot of things to like about Bobby, one of the best features in my opinion is the location. You're right around the corner from Printer's Alley and only a couple of blocks from Broadway - for me it was perfect since Broadway can be a little much to be right on top of so I appreciated that I was a few blocks off of all the action. The theming and decor are another pro - it kinda had a music theme to it (because Nashville), with high end finishes, a contemporary design, and a warm color scheme (lots of browns, woods, and reds). The hotel has a lot of amenities - my room was spacoius with a huge minibar and all the features one would expect from a higher end hotel room. My room also had balcony which provided pretty good views of the city. As far as food/drink, they offer room service as well as a restaurant, bar, and cafe off the main lobby. There is also a bar in the basement that connects out to Printer's Alley which I enjoyed. Finally, the roof of the hotel contains another bar, a pool, pickleball court, and a lot of seating - there's also great views of the city from up there. As far as cons, the most annoying one for me personally was the lack of surfaces in my room. Besides one small surface that jut out from the wall, there was really nothing - I get this isn't a hotel aimed towards people on business trips but I would like to have at least had a small table or desk. The balcony was somewhat wasted space - don't get me wrong, I appreciated it but it was too large and the furniture out there didn't fill it well. I sense this hotel used to be an office building so from that perspective they likely had to work with what they had. The halls were weird - they were really dark, like there was a severe lack of lighting there which I didn't understand. I got room service while I was there - food was good but nobody answered the phone when I called so I ended up going through the front desk to place my order. To wrap this up, I gotta give a shout out to the staff - everyone I interacted with was super friendly and really enhanced my stay. Overall, I enjoyed my time at Bobby - the hotel has a lot to offer and it really enhanced my Nashville experience. I would definitely consider staying here again the next time I visit the city.
I'm really conflicted with this review. There were some very cool things and some not so cool things.. First the cool things. The hotel itself is very cool inside. The lobby has a really nice staircase, the sitting areas had eclectic seating, we received a welcome beverage (beer or mocktail), and they allow dogs so we got to see some pups while here. I heard the rooftop bar was very nice for the Camp Bobby going on..and the location is super convenient to visit Printers Alley, which is what we had planned. It's close enough to walk to Broadway for all that honky tonk stuff, but keep in mind you're walking back uphill to the hotel...The room is decorated with an edgy vibe, had some cool table top art books to look through, there were some cool lamps in the room, it was quite spacious, and since I booked during winter, it was decently priced. The in room mini bar is very good. Fridge full of stuff to purchase, they even have snacks and candy, and some hotel merch. All with large price tags, of course. Ok - so the not so great part. First off, the rooftop bar that we had been told was nice wasn't open when we wanted to go, even though the website advertised as so. One thing I specifically liked about this hotel was the fact they have a lobby dog - a dog being rescued and trained for service and I inquired when booking to make sure they do in fact allow petting (cause I needed to hug the dog). I was assured yes absolutely. well guess what? there is no dog. according to the desk clerk, the dog was too aggressive so they took it back to the foster or whatever and wouldn't be getting a new dog for "maybe like 6 months". That was annoying to hear. The pillows are not comfy. Very lumpy and yet flat at the same time. I had to ask for extra and it didn't help. The bed has no comforter. It's literally a hard sheet, another softer sheet, a large towel like blanket, and a top sheet. It was just weird. The bathroom....now this is a strange choice. It's a glass cube in your room. The glass is shaded and not exactly see through, but see through enough that they need curtains to have privacy around it, but be warned it's not private sound wise...you will hear everything in there... The shower....had no door?? Just a half glass panel. I really didn't understand this part - I wasn't able to shower without water getting on the floor in considerable amounts. No usb ports in the room which bummed me out because I assumed every hotel in this day and age would have these, so I left my power adapter at home. No coffee maker in the room. Yes, they will offer to bring you coffee in the morning, but only between 5-7am and that's annoying. I'd much rather have a coffee maker to do my own when I want it. No ice maker on floor - had to call the desk to have them bring it to you. Honestly it just feels like they design it to where they require you to have them bring stuff to get more tips.. We wanted to go to the dive bar, but it was also closed the day we wanted to go. And the final issue was that housekeeping threw away my food that I had kept on the bedside table. It was an uneaten large gourmet brownie that I had purchased, and there wasn't any room in their mini fridge to keep it in, so I left it covered in the room. Very frustrated they trashed my stuff. And all I got was a sheepish sorry from the desk for it. Just irked me. So...For the convenience of area and the general design and aesthetic, it was a great place. But for some basic amenities that lacked in a boutique hotel, I wasn't impressed. I probably wouldn't come here again, but glad to have tried it out once.
This is a very nice boutique hotel but not practical at all. It is very dark in the hallways and room. Very disappointed with the bed; it was very uncomfortable. The shower was worse! There is no empty fridge, no water expect for certain times in the lobby. No coffee machine in the room. Paid $6 for a very watered down coffee. The only thing I liked was the igloo at the rooftop. I was excited they had a room with a balcony. The chairs were so uncomfortable. The roof view and less than desirable. I wouldn't stay here again.
Stayed here for a work trip and it was luxurious. Nice shower that is warm and spacious. Love the black tile. Obsessed with the bathroom circular mirror and light. Bed is soft. Plenty of outlets. Love the lights underneath the bed. The quirky designs of guitars and music stuff on the dressers are fun to look at. Nice headboard. Feels luxurious rocker vibes. Up top is so nice to hang out on. The bus is fun, great views. Plenty of sunshine. Bean bag toss. The gym is available. Basic dumb bells. Treadmills and step machines. Nothing crazy nice. Bathrooms there. Friendly service. Donny helped me out at reception and was kind.
Oh where to start! My mother and I stayed at The Bobby for the first time on our recent visit to Nashville. From the moment we walked into the hotel we were in awe! It was so chic, unique, and stunning! The lobby was beautiful with a grand staircase and eclectic decor. It was very clean, with a pleasant, fragrant aroma, and the staff/valet was extremely friendly and accommodating. The valet service was professional and very helpful in getting our bags and car. The location is perfect, not too close to the rowdiness of the downtown, but not too far from it either. There is a Walgreens nearby, which is convenient. It is within walking distance of the main attractions downtown and easy to navigate. Now our room was stylish with flair and bold color combinations. There was so much detail in the room and it really added to our experience. While the room wasn't super spacious, it wasn't cramped. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the high quality bathrobes they provided. The bathroom was also very nice. It was beautifully tiled and had a large, round, lit mirror. The rainfall shower head was a luxury with great pressure, providing for very hot, steamy showers. We both liked the storage compartments and closet space as well. There are many drinks and snacks provided by the hotel available in the room for purchase. The rooftop bar is a cannot-miss. During our stay it was centered around a "Camp Bobby" theme. The rooftop had a bunch of "igloos" available for groups to rent out. There is a retro bus on the rooftop as well adding to the unique flair of the whole experience. It all comes together to provide for a truly different experience. We enjoyed spending time up there Friday evening and sitting by one of their fire pits. It has a great view of the city too. This hotel pays fine attention to detail to provide their guests with a memorable experience. Between the various amenities, to the decor, and service this hotel is just above and beyond. The ambiance is unbeatable and I felt like our trip wouldn't have been the same if had stayed elsewhere. We really appreciated the retro car theme which was evident in the chandelier in the lobby and the antique Bobby car parked outside the hotel. The Bobby is the perfect hotel for a one of the kind stay and I would 100% recommend staying here in Nashville.
Really stunning hotel. Great location to stay while in Nashville, about a five minute walk to Broadway. The lobby is stunning, there is a cafe and bar at your convenience. Warm fire place to cozy up by in the Winter. The room was spacious and clean. Only complaint about the room is they're very dark, could use more lighting especially by the mirror outside the bathroom. Overall great experience staying here!
We stayed at the Bobby Hotel on a Father Son trip to see the Titans and Tour Makers Mark. The staff was helpful and friendly. The first night the hotel had a water leak and immediately booked a room at the Westin. The second night we relaxed on the roof. They had a great bus (yes a bus)converted into a sitting area and multiple transparent igloos to avoid the cold weather. The service at the rooftop bar was excellent. We had ribs and chicken. This boutique hotel is a destination. An event. An experience. We will go again, and I can't wait.
This hotel is meh at best, and for the price that it is, expected wayyyyyy more. Lobby is gorgeous, smells divine, and that's where the allure stops. This is an old office building converted into hotel, so the layout of the rooms is a little funky, but cool IMO. My room was dirty, as in trash left over from the previous guest. The towels are so scratchy, toiletries were not good quality. The last day there, the cleaning lady left her rag in my room and I almost stepped on a big piece of GLASS. Location and hotel lobby are the best features of this hotel.
This review is in regards to the restaurant and the rooftop bar. The restaurant menu is designed for sharing and our server explained our dishes would come out in the order they were presented in the menu. I ordered the risotto, which had a nice flavor and was perfectly cooked. The portions are very small so if you're hungry, you'll need to order quite a few dishes. Afterwards, we decided to go up to the rooftop bar. It's spacious with artificial grass and a few lawn games. I went to the bar to order a beer. The bartender told me it was $7.00, which I left a $10. I was with another person in my party, which ordered a drink. Once I received my beer, I went back to my friends. Approximately 10 minutes later, one of the bartenders came up to my table telling us we owed him more money. When I asked him about leaving him $10 for a $7.00 beer, he said he thought the money I left was the tip.
We live the Bobby Hotel rooftop bar and pickleball. I recently discovered the Bobby in a work trip and had two groups at the rooftop "backyard" bar. Great pickleball court that can be rented by the hour. Loved the bar, food and Edwin's excellent service! The bus lounge was super cool too. Can't wait to go back!

This property is just unbelievable!!! Absolutely insanely gorgeous. The decor is brilliant - both edgy and posh. Every piece of furniture, every decorative accent, every tapestry, every lighting fixture...all selected/placed with careful intent. Breathtaking. This hotel features great amenities! Multiple places to dine and drink! A rooftop pool and bar, equipped with a greyhound bus to chill out in! Man I would have loved to have been in Nashville the day they hoisted that sucker into the roof! As incredible as the hotel is, what makes Bobby Hotel one of the best properties I have ever stayed at is the staff! From check in and valet, to concierge and housekeeping everyone is warm, friendly, welcoming and amazing at their jobs! I will definitely be back! read more

Our celebration host had called prior and asked about food at the rooftop lounge. She was told yes, but that day we were told no. So we called downstairs to see about seating for our large group. They said they couldn't accommodate us; which was very frustrating as there were only about 10 people downstairs. We sent some of the guys down to see what the problem was. After some talking, we were told we could get sat in 20 minutes. Finally. When we walked down (aka took the elevator) there were a total of about 5 people In the restaurant and one huge table that sat 16. We got sat at a couple tables they had pushed together. So I'm not really understanding why they were making such a fuss to seat us. We ordered our drinks and our food. Menu wasn't too big, so not a lot of options, but we were all starving. I got a burger and fries and it was delicious. It had some chili ketchup that had the perfect amount of sweetness. My pineapple Moscow mule was perfect. Lol. All in all, it's a great spot. I would love to go back. The decor and ambiance of the hotel is amazing and chic. read more
What a beautiful hotel! Great atmosphere and vibe from the time you walk in. The inside interior decor and design were beautiful. The drinks on the roof top is a reasonable price. Plenty of seating area to sit back and hangout with some friends. The rooftop will be a great place to hangout on a hot summer day. I can't wait to do a staycation and check out them rooms! read more

I absolutely adored this hotel! The ambiance and decor was artsy and charming. The staff was friendly and helpful and the room was spacious. I appreciated the complimentary bottles of water that were replenished on a daily basis. The rooftop bar was lovely as well - they still had the igloo setup for the chillier evenings and the bus was a hit. Would spend more nights here if I had the chance! read more

NOTE: This review is for the rooftop bar! Yelp reviews are all about honesty so I'll be honest, since this rooftop adult playground has opened I have avoided it like the Old Navy & Best Buy lines on Black Friday. When it first opened it seemed to be a playground for every selfie taking "instafamous influencer" in the city and well, that's just not my crowd, I'm more on the Un-fluencer train these days. So what finally got me up there? A very special celebration! I will also admit to a small bit of curiosity. But, I keep in mind that "curiosity killed the cat" so I was literally playing poker with my holiday sanity lol. My wonderful friends were getting married and asked all of their friends to meet them on the rooftop for drinks and snacks the night before. The atmosphere was pure magic and I now get why people love going up there! The city was clear and although cold, the air was crisp. The fire pit was blazing and the igloos sparkled like little gems against the night sky. Each igloo has seating, blankets, and a heater to keep everyone toasty. The Champaign & Wine were flowing and Hot Apple Cider was a true treat on this winter night. Not only are there igloos but there is also winter ski cabins all waiting to be filled with friends and family! The Staff of the Bobby were exceptional. Our drinks were never empty and they were there to make sure that our large party were taken care of in every way. We had several appetizers but the one that stands out was the Poutine! AMAZING!! It was cheesy and messy just as it should be. Perfect salt level and completely cravable! Next time it is the top of my list for ordering for sure. As we took turns in and out of the igloo we were able to explore the rooftop and found multiple little spaces that were just as charming as the rest. A vintage bus sat atop the hotel with open comfy seating as well as retro bus style seating surrounding tables. This really takes you to another spot giving the feeling of not being on a rooftop of a trendy hotel but being in a comfy space with your blanket and cider, cuddled up in a corner on a crisp cold night. There were plenty of places to warm yourself with standing heaters and fire pits & plenty of wood to keep the fires going. It was spacious and didn't feel crowded even with our large crowd of people. And now I understand. This is a special place in our city. A great place to spend time with friends and family this holiday season. A cool place to have a drink before dinner. A unique experience that I'm looking forward to trying again. I took photos this time, not only for the special occasion but also for this post. Next time I'll leave my phone in my purse and just enjoy the uniqueness of where I am, sitting on a bus, on a rooftop, staring out over Nashville my holiday sanity in tact. read more

Super cute hotel with great brunch, randomly googled this place as we were headed out of town and my fav dining experience of the whole trip! I had a wonderful breakfast burrito and the tortilla tasted like it was freshly made that morning! Great patio seating and also tried the mint iced tea drink which was amazing (wish a could have taken a pitcher to go!) read more

An amazing find of a boutique style hotel just minutes from lower Broadway in downtown Nashville. My partner and I were here for the P!nk concert and to see the city. Never been before and will come back. The staff st the Bobby I would say are what make this hotel the 5 Star hotel it is. Friendly and hospitable to the Max. From the staff greeting you at the door, while holding it open for you to enter to the front desk staff greeting you with a smile your experience at the Bobby Hotel is made to be a great one. The rooms are so amazing. The little detailed etchings on the cupboard to show what each one it for are awesome. Such comfortable beds. We had nothing planned other than the concert and of course a few trips to lower Broadway to the bar scene. So my partner visited the concierge, he was gone for about an hour but came up with a ton of plans including going to the Opry and seeing the Deacon Claybounre (Charles Esten) preform. Was an amazing time. One night we ate in the restaurant and the food was top notch amazing. Compliments to the chef. There was a roof top patio/bar that we missed out on as it was raining and a little cool while we were in town, but when we go back this will be our hotel of choice and the roof top bar a stop we won't miss. Thank you to all the staff at the Bobby for making my first trip to Nashville (and hopefully not my last) a 5 star experience. read more

The decor is great the vibes are good but I would never stay here again unless I am the only one in the room. The bathroom light is so bright and just a couple of feet away from the bed so if you don't want to be awake at the crack of stupid when the other person wakes up to use the bathroom you have a lit room. When one person is up everyone is up. I am still tired ...., read more
