City View Hotel Roman Road

Budget-Friendly Base in East London with Easy Access to Live Music

Modern and minimalist, City View Hotel Roman Road offers a no-fuss, wallet-friendly stay in the heart of Bethnal Green. Located just a 5-minute walk from Bethnal Green Underground Station and close to Cambridge Heath Rail Station, this hotel keeps you well connected to Central London and major venues like the O2 Arena and Greenwich. With a 24-hour reception and rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs and DVD players, it's a solid choice for music lovers looking for a simple crash pad.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key here — you're less than 30 minutes by tube from some of London's biggest music venues. After the encore, the night tube or late trains from Central London get you back easily. The 24-hour front desk also means there’s no stress about late check-ins after a long night out. While it’s not the quietest spot in London, the area is authentic East London and full of local charm.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for affordable digs near the action
• Solo travelers chasing their dream gig
• Couples turning a concert into a weekend trip
• Fans who want a basic, quiet place to wind down
• Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on merch than hotels

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, the surrounding area is full of walkable eateries offering everything from late-night kebabs to trendy cafes. There’s no 24/7 room service, but you’re only a short stroll from food options even after midnight. Several local spots offer brunch-style breakfasts perfect for a post-gig lie-in.

Nightlife Options

You're in East London — one of the city’s liveliest areas for nightlife. Nearby Shoreditch and Hackney are packed with bars, clubs, and live music venues. Prefer to keep it low-key? There are plenty of cozy local pubs and cocktail spots within walking distance.

What People Say

Guests love the value for money and the hotel’s excellent transport links. Many reviewers note the helpfulness of the 24-hour staff and the convenience of nearby public transport. Rooms are described as basic but clean, with good TV setups for unwinding after a show.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms can be on the smaller side, and some economy rooms use shared bathrooms—so it’s worth booking a standard room if you want added privacy. Noise from the street or other guests is occasionally mentioned, so light sleepers might want to pack earplugs.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a no-frills, affordable place to stay with easy access to London's top music venues, City View Hotel Roman Road hits the right note.
