The Spotlight on Best Western Buckingham Palace Road

Comfort Meets Convenience Near London’s Iconic Music Spots

Modern, welcoming, and perfectly located in central London, the Best Western Buckingham Palace Road is a smart choice for music fans looking to stay near the action. Just a 5-minute walk from Victoria Station, this hotel sits within walking distance of Buckingham Palace and is a quick tube ride from major venues and nightlife. Stylish rooms come with free Wi-Fi, satellite TV, and power showers—ideal for freshening up post-show.

Whether you're heading to a sold-out gig or catching a late train from Victoria, this hotel puts you in the perfect spot to enjoy London's music scene without the stress of long commutes.

Why Concert-goers love it

With Victoria Underground and Rail Station just 5 minutes away, getting to and from concert venues is fast and hassle-free—even after midnight. The hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, so there’s no need to worry about late check-ins. Its location on a quieter street also means you can return to a more peaceful space after a loud night out. Plus, Hyde Park and other open-air venues are just a short walk or tube ride away.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a central base with easy transport links
  • Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list show
  • Couples pairing a concert with a weekend getaway
  • Fans who want a quieter place to wind down post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting good value in central London

Food and Drink Options

A continental takeaway breakfast is available daily, perfect for late risers after a night out. While the hotel doesn’t have a full restaurant or bar, you're spoiled for choice with cafés, pubs, and restaurants all within walking distance. Victoria Place and nearby streets offer late-night bites, and the abundance of local eateries means no one goes hungry.

Nightlife Options

The hotel is well connected to London’s buzzing nightlife. From the pubs of Pimlico to rooftop bars near Soho and live shows at Apollo Victoria Theatre, you're within easy reach of post-concert fun. While the hotel itself is more of a quiet retreat, its location makes it easy to explore the city’s after-dark energy and then return to a peaceful night’s sleep.

What People Say

Guests love the proximity to Victoria Station, calling it a “fantastic base” for getting around London. The rooms are often described as clean, comfortable, and good value for money. Travelers also appreciate the friendly staff and easy check-in process, especially after long travel days or late-night gigs.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms can be on the smaller side, especially if you're traveling with lots of gear. Some guests mention street noise in front-facing rooms—earplugs or requesting a room away from the road might help. Also, note that breakfast is continental and charged separately.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a clean, central, and affordable spot near London’s best concert venues, Best Western Buckingham Palace Road is a solid pick.

Very good

Liked: Everything was as one would expected of a single room with a single bed. It was tiny but cozy and the AC was a life-saving must given the heat outside.

Good location with clean rooms...

Liked: I wasn't sure if breakfast was included in the price so I didn't bother. Air conditioning was very good.
Disliked: I was in the basement so the sower drainage wasn't so good and the shower tray was shallow. However, someone came to clean and check it when requested.

Great! Would stay again.

Liked: Right around the corner from where our Rabbies tour left from. Could not have been closer. Hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. We spent one night at the beginning of our tour, and they held our excess luggage for four nights while we were on tour, then back with them for 3 additional nights. Worked out great. Very accommodating. Very central to everything. Victoria Station close by.
Disliked: Nothing
