Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a great base for catching a show in London. You can be at major venues like the O2 Arena, Brixton Academy, or Wembley in under 30 minutes via train.

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re surrounded by plenty of late-night food spots within walking distance. Several fast food joints and local eateries near the station stay open late. For breakfast, grab a coffee and pastry at one of the nearby cafés.

Nightlife Options

Croydon has a growing nightlife scene, with bars, pubs, and lounges just a few blocks away. If you’re heading into central London for a show, you’ll have easy access back to a quieter room afterward—perfect for post-party downtime. No on-site bar here, but plenty of options nearby.

What People Say

Guests often praise the hotel for being exceptionally convenient for train travel, especially when flying into or out of Gatwick. Many reviews highlight the value for money, with clean rooms and helpful staff. The air conditioning is also a plus during warmer months.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are small—it’s called easyHotel for a reason—so don’t expect a ton of space for pre-show glam squads. Also, there’s no bar or restaurant on-site, so plan your meals nearby. But for the price, most guests agree it's a worthy trade-off.

If you're heading to a concert in London and need a budget-friendly, well-connected base, easyHotel Croydon hits the right note.
