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.

Confortable but unexpected (and high)...

Disliked: The parking costs. There should have been no parking charge at a hotel location like that which is at the perifery of a medium town. We were charged £24 for 10 hours of parking

Overall quite good.

Disliked: The tea facility was not replaced with fresh teabags in the room.

if this is the best...

Liked: it was said, the best holtel in place (hey, what is then w the other hotels, even worse??) ... the room was okay for construction folks, not good for "higher expecting customer", the bed and furniture built date 1970 or before? the furtiture is very old (gransma style) Old stuff ... I could sleep in bed w closed window, because the room 430 which is located direction to front parking ... and there is also the parking for the restaurants, cinema and so on...from 22 to 24 o'clock there is a lot of noice by young fellows testing their motorcycle, car engine plus very loud sound from car hifi....very nice. So, you have to close the room window ... otherwise...no sleep!!! Breakfast....horrible...uuuhhh....have never seen like taht! and all day the same "fresh scrumbled eggs"... the sausages.. I have no idea what was inside... I tried the first morning, never again....puh... the coffee was good, because there was an automat to pull the coffee or what ever you need... no, this breakfast and style....a ranking 1 to 10....(10 is the best) ...would be a "4".... sorry....not good!? the bed...you could sleep ...if you are tired...you could sleep evrywhere....
Disliked: this complete hotel is very old, it looks like that the past 35 years there was no intention to have some renovation, in and outside. It looks very dirty, we have been outside on the rear ... there should be some place to sit, there is the little lake....but also here....the charming of 1970, not clean, old furniture....the fox was runing around...looking for food... if he had no food....he made a "big shit" on the gras near by....nice.... sorry....if this is the standard we have to see in Basildon....OMG....
