The Spotlight on Best Western The Boltons

Comfort and Convenience Near London’s Top Music Spots

Modern comfort meets classic London charm at Best Western The Boltons. Set in a quiet residential street just a 3-minute stroll from Earl's Court Underground Station, this 4-star hotel makes getting to gigs around London easy and hassle-free. With air-conditioned rooms, free WiFi, and stylish décor, it's a solid base for music fans who want the city at their doorstep without sacrificing comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hotel nails it. You're a short walk or tube ride from some of London’s most iconic concert halls like the Royal Albert Hall and venues near Kensington. The quiet neighborhood lets you unwind after the show, and the flexible check-in time of 14:00 gives you plenty of time to settle in before heading out. The direct tube link to Heathrow via the Piccadilly line is a bonus for those flying in for a big event.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a central, convenient stay
  • Solo travelers here for a once-in-a-lifetime gig
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans needing a quiet place to recharge post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a 4-star experience

Food and Drink Options

While there's no full-service restaurant on site, you're surrounded by walkable dining options perfect for a pre-show bite or late-night meal. Guests can enjoy breakfast on-site—ideal if you’re recovering from a late night. Plus, being in the Earl’s Court area means you're never far from a great café or pub meal.

Nightlife Options

You're in a prime location for post-gig drinks, with local pubs and bars just around the corner and the nightlife of Kensington within easy reach. While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, its proximity to major venues makes it a great home base.

What People Say

Guests love the clean rooms, friendly staff, and unbeatable location. Many mention how quiet the area is at night—perfect after a loud, high-energy show. The modern bathrooms and reliable WiFi are also frequently praised.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms here tend to be on the smaller side (classic London!), so if you're traveling with lots of gear or friends, be prepared to get cozy. Some guests also note that the hotel lacks a bar or restaurant, but the neighborhood more than makes up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a London concert and want a stylish, quiet place to crash that’s close to the action, Best Western The Boltons is a smart pick.

Zhidian Wed, 23 July 2025

Bad

Disliked: unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience. The room I was given was located underground and had a strong chemical/moldy smell. Despite opening the small window and turning on the air-conditioning, the odor remained intense and triggered my asthma. I requested a room change but was told no other rooms were available.Additionally, the ceiling in the shower was so low that I could not stand upright to shower comfortably. The Wi-Fi connection was also extremely weak, making it difficult to receive messages or do any work.

Tolerable for a stay of...

Liked: Easy access to underground tube station and buses to central London
Disliked: Room was quite small to be called a superior room. Air con was not working well and room was hot. Bathroom sink extremely small so much so the floor was wet when you washed your face. No counter to place toiletries …

Could have been more pleasant

Liked: The hotel itself is lovely and the decor is bright and modern and comfortable. The breakfast option was outstanding and the breakfast staff so friendly and accommodating. The bed is very comfortable. The location was great with the Earl's Court Underground station a short walk away, several grocery stores and our favorite Blackbird Pug which was awesome.
Disliked: Our Executive Double Room was very small and had an angled ceiling where I nearly knocked myself out getting out of bed. The bathroom does not have shelving or an outlet so storing toiletries or drying your hair is a bit of an acrobatic experience. You will need a long cord. The shower is small. The worst problem was that the AC was out or at best intermittent in our room for the majority of the stay. Despite multiple requests to move our room to one that had AC we were on our 4th night at the hotel before we were moved to a little larger room and one with AC. A few of the desk staff were accommodating, and a few were dismissive and not too helpful.Also, the cleaning staff did not give us a clean towel after 2-3 days after we even put them on the floor, they just put them back on the hooks on the bathroom. I believe in being eco friendly, but how do you put a dirty towel that was on the floor back on the hook for reuse?

Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Susanne Mon, 21 July 2025

Very good

Liked: Comfortable bed, great A/C, good location near the tube station.
Disliked: It would probably be the very narrow bathroom sink which wouldn’t be such an issue without the vanity shelf placed above it. This which makes access even more challenging.
