Dockside Hotel

Affordable Comfort Steps from the Tube

Modern and budget-friendly, the Dockside Hotel sits in East London’s Shadwell neighborhood, just a 2-minute walk from Shadwell Station. It’s a no-fuss, clean, and comfy base for anyone wanting quick access to London’s top neighborhoods and concert venues without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

Being just minutes from the DLR and Overground lines means you can easily reach areas like the West End, South Bank, and Stratford City in under 30 minutes. After the show, head back for a quiet night’s rest in a low-key neighborhood. Free Wi-Fi makes it easy to share your concert memories, and with a check-in time from 14:00 and check-out at 11:00, there’s just enough flexibility for most travel schedules.

Nightlife Options

You’re a short ride from vibrant nightlife in Shoreditch, Brick Lane, and the West End. Whether you're after rooftop cocktails, basement gigs, or a quiet pub, you're well placed to explore. The hotel itself is quiet—perfect for winding down post-show.

What People Say

Areas for Improvement
