The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Peterborough

Comfort and Convenience Near the Action in Peterborough

Modern, budget-friendly, and perfectly placed beside the East of England Showground, the Holiday Inn Express Peterborough is a smart choice for music fans and event-goers. With clean, comfortable rooms, free WiFi, and a warm welcome 24/7, it’s a solid base whether you're in town for a major gig or a weekend escape.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located right next to the East of England Showground — one of the region’s busiest event venues — this hotel puts you within walking distance of major concerts and festivals. No taxis or late-night buses needed. The hotel’s 24-hour front desk means late check-ins are no problem, and the area is generally quiet, offering a peaceful night’s sleep after the encore. Free on-site parking makes it easy for road-trippers, and WiFi is fast and free throughout the hotel.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a hassle-free stay close to the show
- Solo travelers catching a long-awaited performance
- Couples making a weekend out of a concert night
- Fans who need to recharge somewhere quiet after the gig
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and convenience

Food and Drink Options

Hungry after the show? The hotel lounge bar offers a snack menu including soups, paninis, pizzas, and burgers — perfect for a late-night bite. While there’s no full restaurant, there's a great Express Start buffet breakfast included in your stay, ideal for slow mornings after a big night. You’ll also find several casual dining spots within a short drive.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it's next to one of Peterborough’s main event venues. If you’re up for more after the headliner, you can venture into the city center (around 4 miles away) for local pubs and lounges. Otherwise, the hotel’s lounge bar is a great place to wind down with a drink.

What People Say

Guests praise the cleanliness of the rooms, the friendly staff, and the excellent location for events. Many note that it’s surprisingly quiet given its proximity to the showground, and the included breakfast is a pleasant bonus. Reviewers also appreciate the free parking and value for money.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the food selection is a bit limited for longer stays, and the hotel is a short drive from central Peterborough if you’re looking to explore more nightlife. But for a concert-focused trip, it ticks all the right boxes.

The Bottom Line

A clean, convenient, and affordable stay just steps from the venue — Holiday Inn Express Peterborough is a top pick for fans who want to stay close to the music without the hassle.

Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Gabrielle Y, Bradford, visiting East of England Showground

If you want a quick visit for a conference etc. then the hotel is great. It has everything you would want, including a little lounge area to read papers etc. This is not a five star hotel for holidays, but for short stays it was great.

Liked: The best bits of the stay were (a) the kindness of the staff (b) the accommodation and (c) the abundance of tea!
Disliked: None.

Ideal stop over to break...

Liked: Good room friendly staff, very handy just off A1
Disliked: Breakfast very poor. Hot choice at 9.00 am was sausages, tomato and beans. There were signs blaming staff shortages and supplier issues but this shouldn’t happen at a big company. We are regular premier inn stayers….. the room and staff friendliness was certainly compatible but we won’t be switching long term allegiances if this is what greets you in the breakfast room.
