The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Basildon

Relaxed Comfort Just Steps from Festival Leisure Park

Modern and welcoming, Holiday Inn Basildon overlooks a peaceful garden and lake, offering a calm retreat just minutes from the buzzing entertainment of Festival Leisure Park. With air-conditioned rooms, free WiFi throughout, and comfortable amenities like flat-screen TVs and in-room tea/coffee facilities, this hotel strikes a great balance between convenience and comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

Staying at Holiday Inn Basildon means being right next to Festival Leisure Park, a hub of restaurants, nightclubs, and live entertainment. After a show, you’ll appreciate the 24-hour room service, quiet garden views for winding down, and the flexible check-out time of 12:00 PM—perfect after a late night out. Plus, with Basildon town centre just 2 miles away and Southend Airport within easy reach, getting here and back is a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a night out at the Park
  • Solo travelers catching a dream concert
  • Couples making a weekend escape out of the show
  • Fans looking to unwind in a quiet space post-gig
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want comfort without splurging

Food and Drink Options

Start your day right with a buffet breakfast served every morning—great for those who sleep in post-concert. The on-site bar and lounge serves meals throughout the day, and if you’re returning from a late gig, the 24-hour room service means you’ll never go hungry. With Festival Leisure Park just steps away, you’re also surrounded by plenty of walkable dining options.

Nightlife Options

Right outside the hotel, Festival Leisure Park offers nightclubs, bars, and live entertainment venues to keep the party going. Prefer something more laid-back? The hotel’s own bar is ideal for a local pint or nightcap before calling it a night.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and the convenience of being so close to entertainment without the noise. Many praise the peaceful lake view and how easy it is to get a good night’s sleep even after a lively evening.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that the decor could use a refresh in certain areas, and others would like to see more variety at breakfast. But overall, these are small trade-offs for the location and service.

The Bottom Line

Holiday Inn Basildon offers the perfect mix of location, comfort, and post-concert convenience—an ideal choice for music fans looking to stay near the action without sacrificing a good night's rest.

Ridiculous and we are not...

Liked: I did not like anything about it. The services are pretty basic for the cost.
Disliked: The toilets do not flush. You have to flush up to 10 times to even make progress. At the end of the day we ended up fetching water in the bin bucket to help flush the toilet. Dreadful stuff.

For us, we needed the...

Liked: The staff were very pleasant.
Disliked: Our bathroom was tired with a cracked sink and the toilet roll holder kept coming off the wall. We booked a stay for three people and although we had two double beds and a sofa bed which was great, there was only enough towels and tea tray contents for two. Ialso find parking at £12/night wrong for guests.

Liked: Location
Disliked: No staff its 3rd time i have been there and only 2 staff one on reception and bar person keeps leaving bar to do room service the staff are nice but rushed off their feet with the amount they charge for a night they should hire more staff we shouldn't have to wait that long to get served .we left and went somewhere else. I won't book again purely for this reason. I want a good experience not to keep waiting around the few staff members who we actually see were nice, though they were very poorly run
